They're Engaged!! :)

and I coudn't be more excited!!! I only have one sister and one brother so, now I'll have 2 brothers! YAYEEE!! :)  I am not used to shooting couples since I don't do weddings anymore **at least for the last 2 years, but I always love when I get the opportunity.  Yvonne and Nate are so stinkin' cute they make my job fun! So... My little family (me, hubby & our 3 kids) took a vacation in September & the second I saw this place I knew I wanted to shoot Yvonnes engagments pix. here... hope you like em!! 

THINK ZOOLANDER-- I can't go left! lol  ((so what, we're nerds ok!))

it was basically completely dark by the time we took this picture, so I really pushed my camera... but it's still cute!  WE loved the yellow chairs! :) 

 

Amanda...

She's soo beautiful :) I had lots of fun with this senior! :)

i think this is my fav. :)

The Most Beautiful Pregnant Mommy I've ever seen up close...

Emily- she's one of Isaacs teachers at school & he LOVES her. Em was so fun to take pictures of.. you'd never know it, but she's super shy when it comes to getting in front of the camera...With her baby girl Heidy in her arms she just did what she does best, and that's mother... she's beautiful, Inside & out and I'm so glad her sis hired me to take some pix! Baby Indy has already made her arrival, but I had to post since I'm so behind in my blogging! :P

Enjoy beautiful Emily...

Ryan Family...

Well, my friend Bridget is my hero... lol- no, seriously! She's a great mom with 5 well behaved kids, ((I don't care what you say Bridg, Landen stole my heart lol)) She's BEAUTIFUL-inside & out, the kids all dress like Rockstars and her husbands a super sweetie & you can tell he is still crushing on his high school sweet heart 5 kids and 10 years later!! They are so much fun to be around, AND they LOVE God! I was super blessed to take their pix. so enjoy!...

Baby Finley just turned one!! ((time flies))

 We wanted the kids to act silly watching mommy & daddy kiss, but the Ryan crew knew how to play it up & own it.  Landen was pointing, Austin covered his brother or sisters eyes, Faith & Farrah were acting just shocked... Right kids, like you haven't seen this before! :) lol

 

Wardrobe Change:   Pretty pretty farrah showing me her pearls...

((same picture as above, but I added a texture...what do you like better?))

 The little girls were very into their conversation.  SO CUTE!! ;)

so, I serously think I should post a blooper reel, but I just don't have time to resize that many pix. lol- with 5 kids the faces some of them make had me and my friend Jess laughing 'til our tummy's hurt! Landen is a little charachter & Finley gives some pretty good looks herself! lol...

Here are a few: 

Baby Kai Kai...

     I should start this by saying that God knows what we need way more than we do.  I found out I was pregnant with kiah a little over a year ago and I was TERRIFIED!! I had 2 little kids already, and although I wanted more I wanted the 2 year plan... ya know, the one where you finish nursing baby #2, lose all the weight from babies #1 & 2 and live in a big enough place to house the new family of 5.  

WELL, that's not exactly how it happened!! I was still nursing my 7 month old Caleb, who knows how much weight I still had (and have) to lose, we lived in an 800 square foot place and coudn't imagine another peice of paper fitting inside, let alone another baby and all that comes with!

Well, I'm soo glad that God doesn't listen to our "wait, I just need...." lists before blessing us with HIS BEST and in His perfect timing.  You see, Kiah is the perfect fit into our family. She came with some turmoil.. u know, with me almost dying and all ((a little dramatic)) But she was worth EVERY tear, doctors visit, day in the hospital, and EVERY medical bill we are still getting lol.  She's worth it because she's our little girl, and OH how we love her.  

Our mornings USUALLY start out with hearing Kiah squeal in happiness for a few minutes and then i get up and get into her room, brothers usually rushing in there when they hear she's awake.  Isaac pops his head over the crib saying, "GOOD MORNING PUMPKIN" or sometimes PWINCESS. lol. . . Caleb climbs into her bed with her and kisses her head and says, morning baby Kai kai.  

I LOVE this... I love how close in age they are, how protective they are of her, how after 7 months they Love her more than ever and still ask to hold her every day.  I love how they take turns feeding her her veggie puffs and I ((sigh)) ...

I just love em! lol.  

SO, speaking of feeding her veggie puffs...

Dave and I were working on a house project and heard Isaac say LOUDLY... 

"Caweb josh-a-ya" translation: Caleb Joshua

Kiah was squealing, but it wasn't a bad one so we ran to see what happened... and this is what we saw!... Caleb is trying to score a few points to be the fav. big bro I think. lol.. Kiah was in Heaven!! Before we got upset of course we had to grab the video camera, and my camera and snap a few pix... for memorys  sake.  I figure my kids aren't going to be doing this kind of cute stuff every day and if they do it'll only be cute the first time SSSOOO I'd better capture it! :)

"my brother did it!"

she had a blast walking around in it though...

**notice the wipee in her hand, When caleb was told to clean up he gave Kiah a wipee to help... Typical man! 

Getting a wipee from daddy-- he ALWAYS needs one to clean... no matter what he's cleaning! lol

mmm... brand new apple cinnamon- they went very fast! :(

She loved EVERY SECOND OF this little shenanagain. lol- I have to say even though it was a mess I loved it too! :)

ENJOY your little ones & THANK God for HIS unexpected suprises! :)

**3 little monkeys pictures taken by my auntie kim! :) THANX!! xoxo

Brady...

Brady is a super sweet girl, quiet, smiley...oh and totally on the same page as me where spiders are concerned! WE DON"T LIKE EM!! :)

We ran all over chino and enountered TONS of flies, spider webs, little spikey balls that made me bleed, YET, we still managed to get some beautiful shots of her! :)

Enjoy--

oh, btw... Brady is one of 6 girls in her family, and the 4th senior I've shot in a row! :) I LOVE this family!!

Rah Rah Rah for Rocket... lol

Here he is: Rocket Ryland Welsh:

This little guy could not be more perfect! He's adorable, and teeeny tiny! :) Amanda, Brendon & Londyn live super close so we walked to the park with auntie Jess & the gang & started Rockets "sleepy newborn pix" lol- RIGHT! haha- he's the only baby I was unable to get to sleep! So, the next day we got some cute SLEEPY shots- he was very tired thankfully!! OF COURSE HE WAS, HE DIDN'T SLEEP AT ALL THE DAY BEFORE! lol.  

auntie jess' crooked smile... hehe

Daddys Favorite hat...

we had to try a hanging one... I'm SOOO not the pro at this! :) But it was fun trying!! that is... until he pooped and peed all over and it was dripping down out of the sling onto my bean bag! lol-- ROCKET, why couldn't you have done that in daddys hat?! j.k B! :)

She actually called...

     As you know I am blessed with 3 very adorable little kids~ :) 

When I found out I was prego with Isaac I was terrified!! Terrified that I was going to be in labor on the freeway, stuck in traffic, deliver in my car-- AHHH... lol- OF COURSE it was nothing like that, but anyways-- I was supposed to deliver at a Kaiser kindof far away which I wasn't too happy about. SOOO-- when I had the opportunity to change insurance I jumped on it & was able to deliver at Pomona valley which is 5 minutes from my house... that's when I met Dr. Cropper. 

     She was NOTHING like my other doctors from Kaiser! Super sweet, talkative, adorable...seriously- tall, thin, blonde hair, light eyes, HUGE smile, looks like a t.v. show doctor... not one of the real ones u know! :)

Well..I saw her year after year since i've been prego since like --FOREVER...something new was always happening with her...she met a guy, got married, traveled, and then when i had Kiah I found out she was going to have a baby too!! :) I was super excited for her--even though I was being operated on when I found out... I tend to talk a lot, it calms me. lol-- I told her not to forget to call me when she had her little bundle and she actually did!! Here's her little love! She could not be a more beautiful baby and her parents are seriously smitten! 

Enjoy teeny tiny Charolette:

below is my favorite: I love how she perfectly fits into daddys hands...

oh i know- i'm a bad blogger... it's not my thing! lol

hello, my name is rochelle and I'm a bad blogger... ok, phew- i feel better... well, it's not like you really needed me to write that since it's been 2 MONTHS between blog posts.  I've done like 10 shoots since then so I'm not even going to try and catch up.. well, maybe here and there... but I just wanted to say HI! and YES, we're alive and well on this side of the world! 

here's an updated picture of my cutie pie...she's 7months and 3 days old, is scooting everywhere, sleeping thru the night-(IN HER OWN CRIB), eating baby food 2 to 3 times a day, trying out juice bottles, drooling everywhere (but no teeth), flashing her pretty earings, falling asleep while sun-bathing in the pool, splashing at bathtime, sitting up, rolling over, actively throwing around toys, & and loving on her big bros who affectionatley call her kai kai and pumpkin! :) lol... i love my family. SOO--there, that's what i've been doing- 

They're in Love...

My sister & Nate have been going out for about 2 years-- Time has flown, and somehow it doesn't seem like it could have possibly been 2 years since lil' nathan bovee (I can say that because I was his j.h. leader lol) became a fixture in our families life.  My little Caleb LOVES him...seriously, he'd be happy to stay with Nae-nae & Gagone any day of the week over us. Isaac too-- Nathan's always a good cowboy-- which in Isaac language is a very good thing! GOSH, Get married already so they can have sleep overs at your guys' house!! Oops, did I just say that outloud? Dangit! I hate it when I do that! lol

ANYWAYS... We went out a couple weeks ago to do pictures which Nathan was just THRILLED ABOUT! lol-- what guy isn't, really? He was such a great sport & my sister is of course adorable and makes me jealous with her cute fashion.  Saturday (a few hours ago) was Nate's 22nd b.day! OLD MAN!! 

So Happy Birpbay Nate! I hope you're not deaf from our amazingly beautiful singing! hehe

So Happy Birthday Nate, and really you guys-- You can't help it if you're just really really really, ridiculously goodlooking! right? that's just how it is!!

LOVE U BOTH!!
