The Gingerbread Houses

On Thanksgiving we started a new tradition of making gingerbread houses with the family that is in town. Since my husband was gone I called in my good friend Katie to help me out. We had a ton of fun and Katie and I came in 2nd place.....yes it was a competition. Enjoy the pics...

I think its 26 or 27 weeks....I can't keep track!

I can't believe how time flies by..November is already almost gone. We have been busy around the Young house. Today is Thanksgiving and I am here at home and Jeremy is in Texas with his family. With my work schedule and how well I am currently sleeping, the best option was for me to remain at home. Luckily, my family lives here as I'm sure all of you know, so I still will have a fabulous Thanksgiving dinner and Cooper will be well fed by his great-grandma! Alot has happened since last time I posted, Jeremy had a birthday and I we had a little surprise card party for him that I think he enjoyed. Santa Fe basketball get started next week, but they have been having scrimmages about twice a week and so far the team is looking pretty good. We registered, which for me, it was more fun to pick out baby stuff then it was for our wedding! Last Saturday we spent the day at Pottery Barn Kids and Babies R Us, we'll tackle Target this weekend to finish up. Other then that Ebay is my new favorite store, I started looking for everything for Cooper on ebay to try to save us some money. Right now I'm waiting to see if the crib we like will ever go on ebay. However I can not find a rocker glider that I like on ebay which is proving to be the most expensive piece of furniture we would like to purchase. Also this week on Monday, 4 people I know had their babies, one couple I took their maternity pictures and soon I'll get to take their baby boy pics for his announcement. I'm so excited! You should check out my photo website because I have updated some portfolios there. Tonight we're having a gingerbread house making competition which I will post some pictures from. No pictures for now, mostly because I keep forgetting to have Jeremy take them of me....also isn't it odd that I'm posting pictures of how big my belly is getting. Which now I feel like it is huge, however at the doctor's office on Tuesday, I saw several women that were much larger then I am....which is such a comforting thought. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Week 24

Well welcome to week 24....6 months in, we can't believe it. Things have been so crazy lately with my photography, which is great for me, not so great for my loyal readers. (If I have any loyal readers!) A quick update on what Cooper and I have shot recently, Peter Nygard Fashion Show, EMHS Freshman game, a wedding, EMHS varsity football game, and a family portrait. You can check out my site to see some pictures, shameless plug for my biz, mlyphotography.com. Well I thought for those of you who have never had the pleasure of meeting Cooper's big brother Baxter. Jeremy and I love Baxter, he is such a sweet dog, we're hoping he and Cooper get a long well. I guess we'll find out in about 3-4 months! That's about all I got for now, not much else going on, basketball at Santa Fe is gearing up, oh and the NBA started which means a lot of basketball at our house. Below is a pic of Baxter and my most recent belly pic for everyone. Hopefully next time I'll have a draft of what the nursery will look like, which is a work in progress! Hope everyone has a great week!
Our first born son, Baxter


I honestly think that these pictures make my belly look bigger then it actually is....
