Brahm and Company

My friend Krista had her adorable grandson.....and his parents....:) in town for Thanksgiving, and she asked me to take some pictures for her.


Brahm is just about the cutest, most huggable baby I've ever seen.


From these shots, you can probably tell his grandma and his mom and dad feel the same way about him!

The Dress {Aprill Says Yes}

Aprill's mom was in town over Thanksgiving, so after Nate proposed, (refer to previous post if you missed the big news!) Aprill was able to go dress shopping before her mom went back to Arizona.


And lucky me! I got invited along!


I was excited, not only to see Aprill choose a dress, but to take pictures, of course!


The owners at the first bridal shop were fine with photography. Others didn't allow pictures, but luckily I snapped a bunch at the first store. 


Aprill found the dress of her dreams at the last shop we went to. By that time, Mallory had joined us on the search. (She was at school earlier that day). So, Mallory was especially thrilled to be there to see THE dress. (I'm not posting shots of the winning dress today...I'll save those for the official bridal post).


But...without further ado....a day in the life of an upcoming bride on her quest for the perfect dress!

Aprill Says YES!!

I'm very late in posting about this. Life has been a bit crazy! No. Life has been A LOT crazy!

But...drumroll please!!!!

My firstborn is engaged!!!

Yes, it's true!

Nate proposed to his girlfriend Aprill on Thanksgiving weekend and she said YES! (YAY!!)

The timing was perfect. Aprill's mom was visiting us for Thanksgiving weekend, so we were all together for the big announcement.

The wedding will be February 18, 2012 in the Mesa Arizona Temple.

We couldn't be happier!

Here are some pictures from the big proposal day!

I don't think I've ever before  had this many exclamation points in one blog post!!  How about one more for good measure?!

:)

The happy couple

Nate puts the ring on again....after I made Aprill take it off so I could take a picture. :)

Aprill texts the good news to friends near and far.
