Long & Overdue

So to begin , we have a baby on the way ! !

I am 5 1/2 months pregnant with a boy & we couldn ' t be more scared & excited all at the same time . We are looking forward to becoming parents , however I always have this overwhelming feeling of not being worthy to take on such an amazing gift from Heavenly Father . I remember right after my belly finally started to pop out & seeing my belly getting bigger , I looked down at belly & actually started talking to it . I told our baby to be that would no matter what I love him , care for him , & be the mother that he deserves to have for our eternal family . I so very much can't wait to hold him in my arms for the first time . . .

Lessons in Photoshop

( Yikes it's been a little while since my last post )

Well to catch everyone up to speed , here' s the run down on my recent adventures :

Last Sunday I had the ridiculous desire to want try & hopfully learn how to use Photoshop . I' ve always heard that Photoshop was really hard or at the most, confusing to understand. . . Boy , I had absolutley no idea what I was getting myself into . I started with looking for a tutorial or something with a " How to . . . " section on someone' s blog or website & to my amazement I stumbled upon kevinandamanda.com . ( Attched is a link to their page How to make a Scrapbook blog) I am pretty much in LOVE with their page . They have a step by step guide for Photoshop users & it also explains what exactly you're doing & why you' re doing it . It definitely took FOREVER to finish my first layout but with the help of TheShabbyShoppe.com & 3 purchased downloads , I feel a little bit more confident in the digital scrapbooking world .

Let' s be honest , as I have already made very clear in my previous posts I sincerely hate computers , not so much because they have really done anything wrong to me personally but mostly because I don' t understand a majority what is expected by computer user. . . & as humans , we usually hate what we don' t understand . A friend recently commented on my new adventure with blogging as "A vicious time suck" , I feel that she could not be anymore RIGHT!

Picture Time

Here's a little snippet from our photo shoot with the FABULOUS Leah Wakefield. Enjoy!!

We just want to say that we had so much fun taking these pictures & we almost didn't get to have them done because of the stupid rain last Saturday. We also want to make sure that if anyone is interested in a talented & professional photographer, then you definitly need to take a gander at her Facebook page atLeahwakefield Photography. We are so pleased with how our pictures turned out & can't wait get these framed.

Ps. These were taken outside of the Potato Barn in Higley, Az. Lets just say... Joe had to drag me out.

For crying out loud!

Seriously…

Ok, so I really want everyone to know how ridiculous I am or rather that I somehow cannot seem to wrap my brain around trying to figure this blogging crap out. For example, I just spent the last fudging 2 & a half hours trying to get my stupid Header to say our names & now trying to get this super cute font to transfer over to blogger with hardly any success. Are you kidding me?! But no, I am the lucky lady who has had the pleasure & the opportunity to completely confuse the heck out of herself. Okay I’m feeling a little bit better now.
Ps. Thank s Kenzie & Josie for yelling at my blog. I needed some motivation.
