Amber

The Gillespie Family

There are about 50 pictures from this shoot that I LOVE, but here are a few to start.

Amber is my good friend at work and she is pregnant with her first little baby boy. Thanks so much for getting up early to play with me guys! I hope you like um! More to come... really this time.

love, love, love this one above!

Really love this one too... I love the little smirk Amber. Glad we did the cheesy heart pose.

Coming to an end...

are my summer vacations.

Jon and I have had so much fun this summer.  We have squeezed as much fun as possible into the months before Jon starts his last year of Architecture school.   We still have a few weeks before school starts so we will probably squeeze in a bit more (Jons going to Alaska in a couple weeks) but for the most part I think our vacations are about over.

We will miss this view.  Driving past the lavendar fields.

We will REALLY miss this...

Lake Powell

This is my Mom #2 Pat.  She has had this awesome T-shirt ever since I can remember and it is a must have at Lake Powell with the Frei's.   Hahaha she's a crack up!

Jon will miss constructing architectural wonders out of sand.  

I will miss watching the boys slave in the hot sun shoveling dirt and carving with plastic forks while I float in the water with the girls sipping Diet Coke.

My "sister" Bevin.   Can't you see the family resemblence?  We NEVER get to hang out so it was so much fun to be stuck in the middle of Lake Powell together.

Now the very slighty older version of me and Bevin is my Mom and Pat (Bev's mom).  They have been best friends since Bev and I were babies so they were in heaven being together again at Lake Powell.  Pat and her husband just got back last month from being a mission president in Brazil for 3 years so this was a MUCH needed reunion.  Aren't they babes???  Hope me and Bevin are that hot at 50.

And the always entertaining Water Wienie.  Haha I am way too scared to ride it but it's really fun watching the brave boys go at it.  Just as fun watching them try to get back on it after they fall.

Ah... such a fun summer.  I love summer.  We went straight to Moab to go River Rafting after Lake Powell but the only pictures I have are on a water proof disposable camera that I took on the river.  Jon and I took a Kayak down the rapids and it was SO MUCH FUN!  I was a little nervous when we started because I thought we would flip ourselves over for sure in a little Kayak but the rapids turned out too be pretty small so we survived.  I will try to get the pictures developed and post them.

Jon and I were talking while we were floating down the river about how lucky we have been to be able to do so many fun things the past 4 years we have been married.  We feel so so blessed to have had the time to be able to adventure and play together and to just enjoy being together, just Jon and I.  It's really been nice... but hopefully we will not be just "Jon and I " for much longer... lets hope. :)

Anyway, we had an amazing time.  Loved every minute of it, but it is good to be home again.  I missed my little condo and my friends.  Hope I see you all soon!

Update!!!

Blue baby has a NAME!

George August Johnson

(this was my name pick for him given the options... My little Georgy)

Introducing....

"Blue baby"

(seriously isn't he so dang adorable???)
Meet my new baby nephew.  He doesn't have a name quite yet but his big sister Arden has already chosen Blue baby, so as of now that's how we know him.

Aunt Tracy lovin' him up

Big sister Arden proud to show him off.

Looks just like his Daddy

Got adorable little old man feet

Uncle Jon

Welcome to the world little man.  We love you!!!

Welcome to the world...

This is Molly (is that how you are spelling it Meg?)

Anyhow... she is adorable and I had so much fun taking pictures with her.

She is 6 days old and tiny and so stinkin cute I almost stole her.

And big sister Lucy wanted in on the action.

I don't think Molly liked sharing the spotlight, but Lucy was trying to give her kisses to make her fell better.

Lucy is 18 months now.  I cant believe how much bigger she is than when I did her 1-year-old pictures.  She's adorable.

Congrats Megan and Grady!

Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to the 2 most important men in my life.

Jon

I love you so very much and on this day I feel so happy and sad at the same time. Happy because today I am reminded of the amazing man I married. I feel so lucky to have a man that loves me so much and would do anything in the world for me. I always feel so happy and so safe when you are near and I don't know how I could survive without you. I also know of 100% certainty that you will be an incredible father one day. I love to see you laugh and play with your little nieces and nephew and it melts my heart to know that that will be you with your own little ones. Sad today because I am impatient for that day to come! You know me, always impatient for the things I want. :)

Anyway, just wanted you to know today that I love you and I think you are HOTT! :)

Dad

More affectionately known to me as "Diddle". Happy Father's day to you! I wish I could be there to give you a big squeeze but I guess that part will have to wait for a couple of weeks.

I want you also to know how much I love you. You have always been there for me in life, pushing me, teaching me and cheering me on. I feel lucky to have a Dad that cares so much for me and my wellbeing.

I am so proud of you for all you have accomplished this past year. I know it has been quite a challenge and I am so proud of you for fighting through all the hard stuff and continuing to work hard to improve yourself. Proud proud proud!

Happy Father's Day!

Pumped!

Had my first training session last night and I am SO pumped and excited to get my butt in shape! I've been so out of shape for the past 2 years and I am really looking forward to changing that! I feel so good when I am working hard and getting strong. I love when I am working out so hard that my muscles are littlerally shaking because they are so fatigued. And I love to have a trainer there yelling at me making sure I finish the set even though I am shaking tired. Endorphins are good...

So, if anyone has a Golds membership and wants to come play with me, I will be there 5 days a week doing workouts or taking classes, sweating and gettin all BUFF! Its gonna be fun I promise. Let me know if you wanna come, its more fun to go with friends!
