The Dean Machine

My little Dean Kelly slept for 5 hours in a row last night - truly a miracle. He is not the easiest baby in the world but in my opinion he sure is the cutest! Karl and I love having Dean in our family. He loves to look at lights on the ceiling and listen to music. He started smiling for me a few weeks ago and he laughed for the first time a few days ago.

It was so fun to enjoy Christmas with this new little guy. Here are some photos that I have taken of him over the past few weeks.

This is Dean in his bear suit. Have you ever played the old mario games on the original nintendo? There is a power you can get where you can get a bear suit. Random thought - okay.

Texas Dallas Mission

My brother left on his mission yesterday. I am pretty sad. Yeah yeah I am bursting with pride and happy that he has made such a good decision in his life. I just miss my friend. Vincent and I texted every day back and forth, talked on the phone all the time, and he came to visit me and Karl in Utah a lot this past summer. He was even here in Utah when I had Dean and helped entertain me in the hospital.

I miss my brother and am so proud of him for serving a mission in the Texas Dallas Mission! Elder Snow came to stay with me and karl for one night before we dropped him off at the MTC. While he was with me, I taught him how to sew on a button, how to do laundry, he fed Dean for me, we wrote his 19 thank you notes, I gave him a haircut, I forced him to let me take pictures of him, he made me breakfast, we played a game with Teri and Michael, he watched his MTC training movies, and we went to Sonic's Happy Hour and got RT44 Watermelon slushes (a tradition from this summer).

Here are some pictures of my brother Elder Snow:

Here the last picture I took of him walking into the MTC. I don't think I was supposed to be taking pictures but oh well. I told Vincent to walk slow so I could and he did!!


See you in two years Elder Snow!

Dean Kelly Webb

Yes I know, I have fallen off the blogging deep end. However, being 9 months pregnant is not the funnest thing I have ever done. Good news though: I am no longer pregnant!!!!!!! It is a Christmas Miracle!

Dean Kelly Webb was born on Oct 23 (8 days before my due date, bless his soul) and it was so great. I had a great day! The epidural was amazing and worth every penny. I was just watching TV during pushing and it was just no big deal. Dean was 6lbs 3 oz, 19.5 inches long, and just so cute. He is a really good baby.

Here are some great pictures of my great little man:

A 5D Photoshoot

Yes, you read that right! I recently bought me a brand new Canon 5d Mark II! It is beyond fantastic. Here is a list of things that I love:

1. Karl (and other assorted family members)
2. Disneyland
3. Lina (my naughty puppy)
4. My 5d.

It is very near the top of my list. When I first got it I dreamed that I went on a cruise with Karl and he dropped it in the water. It was a very bad dream.

I had the opportunity to take some summery pictures of my two adorable cousins, Haley and Kelsey, this past week! We've been trying to coordinate to get these pictures taken for a while now but it has just been so hectic with all of our schedules. I was so glad to finally get these pictures done and it was so fun to use the new camera on the shoot! The girls were so cute and it is always great to have great subjects to photograph. I also enjoyed the location up in Kaysville because it was something I wasn't used to. Here are a few of my favorites from the shoot.

Baby Face

So if you didn't already know...we're having a baby on halloween! And we just found out last week that it's a boy! I am so excited to meet him - his ultrasound pictures are so so cute. I am posting every single ultrasound picture because let's face it, both Grandma's are so excited they can barely stand it and they need to see ALL the pictures.

Here are the pictures from the ultrasound last week on June 8.





Here we were watching him eat a bunch of amniotic fluid.




Here are the pictures from the ultrasound today on June 16:



Cute feet!!!


Laying down and relaxing:


and my favorite:

You can see his little face and his arm under his face, and his other arm is tucked behind his head. Here is a close up:

More Kevin and April

I was editing a few of Kevin and April's pictures the other day, and since I took SO many photos at their wedding, I couldn't resist posting a few more. The other pictures that I already posted were the original colors, straight out of the camera. These pictures have been jazzed up a bit!

Anderson Wedding

I had the lovely opportunity last weekend to shoot the wedding of some dear friends, Kevin and April. It was a great (although exhausting!) day. Karl and I are so glad they moved close to us so that we can hang out all the time. Here are a few of my favorites pictures from the day...honestly, there are many, I just grabbed a few.



Kevin showing off his green socks from the day. I thought this picture was SO cute!












HOT cake!
