Symphony in the Park

I absolutely love Symphony in the Park. It was stinkin hot this year though, over 100 degrees outside!

Lemonade Stand / Garage Sale

We teamed up with Tessa again this year for a garage sale. It was the weekend before our Vegas trip so it was a great way to raise some spending money. The girls had loads of fun swimming out front in her pool and selling lemonade. Teagan was quiet the sales lady making sure she asked everyone who came if they would like some. Taylee on the other hand was too busy having fun!

Swim Classes

I have fond memories of swim classes mom took us too in the lake, at pools, and the ones I took at campfire camp. It makes me happy to be creating those same memories, and building swimming skills for these ladies. Adalynn was stomping mad the first day when she figured out she wasn't getting into the water too. Luckily Grandma Moss watched her for me during lessons for the remainder of their two week class period. Teagan is learning her butterfly, front, and back strokes along with rhythmic breathing and doing a great job, just has a lot of practice ahead of her. Taylee is working on her strength in the water, her little legs kick and she stays still in the water! They both did a great job and had lots of fun.

Taylee's Owie

Taylee's first game of kick the can ended quickly. She was going for the can running as quick as her legs could and turned too quickly in the gravel, landing smack on her head on a sharp rock. This was after it was cleaned up a bit too! Luckily it was a short cut, pretty deep though. And she was wanting to play again the next night.

First Day of New Job

So its official, I'm back to work! I'm a Baby Bella Photographer at the two local hospitals. Yesterday we trained on computers and all the other many details, and today we shadowed while our trainer shot. I was able to sneak in for a couple practice shots behind her shoulder. Here is one of them. It will be fun to see how my work improves and progresses. I was super intimidated because the other gal training with me works for the Yellowstone Valley Woman's Magazine, and my trainer has a 2 year degree from a photography school, I'm as amateur as it comes I feel. Also I am a bit nervous about getting familiar enough with my new software to be able to have my work flow quickly. I think the job will be a great experience and I'm actually pretty excited about it, hope I do ok!

Moss Fair / Summer Kick Off

7 Years ago when I was pregnant with Teagan and my mom was visiting we had a couple of hours to kill before my baby shower. We went to the Moss Mansion Summer Fair. She bought two baby blankets there for soon to be born Teagan. That was my first annual trip to this fun summer kick off event. Its pretty crowded little event, and pretty simple. But all the same fun to take the kiddo's to for welcoming our summer break.

Can I just Say.... "Yipee!"

I'm so excited about my new job! I was offered a position with Bella Baby Photography. I will be taking pictures of the newborn babies at both of the hospitals here. The job seems like it will have a lot of flexibility. I'm super excited to work with newborns, and to have the time to work on bettering my knowledge and skills in photography. I'm hoping I can learn quick, and do well, and it will be a fantastic opportunity! Wish me luck!

Last Lunch

Teagan requested one last lunch visit before her first grade year was over. I'll take advantage of every opportunity I have to spend a few minutes of school time with her. Someday too soon she will outgrow her want to be so close. Plus its fun to watch her chase the boys at recess!

Thank You Mrs. George

Teagan helped me make Mrs. George this cute vase for a thank you, she also gave her a box of mint meltaways to compli"mint" her on being such a great teacher this year. She's been a nice teacher, Teagan has loved having her.
