One year ago Becca and I sat in the delivery room at the hospital waiting to find out if our new baby was a boy or a girl. With our first two children we decided to find out their gender at their ultrasounds. With Ireland we decided that since we had one boy and one girl we figured we would wait for the 9 months and be surprised. It drove Becca crazy to wait because she wanted to know so bad. Up until she was delivered I thought for sure she was a boy… we had a boy name already picked out. When she was delivered and the doctor asked me to announce her as a girl I couldn’t speak. I kept looking for the boy part but I couldn’t see it. It wasn’t that I was disappointed… it’s just that I was so convinced that she was going to be a boy. Once I finally got the words out of my mouth… “It’s a girl”… we could hear the cheers from our family. It took us four days to pick out a name for her but we finally did. I am so thankful that I was wrong… and I am eternally grateful for this little bundle of joy and the blessing that she is in my life.

I love you so much princess!

I have neglected the blog long enough so it’s about time that I gave it a make over.  Seriously, this is something I should have done two years ago but I have been so busy I kept putting it off.  No more excuses… here it is.  Please leave me a comment and let me know what you like and what you don’t like about the new blog.  I have been debating on whether or not to import all of the posts from my old blog, let me know what you think about that also… should I do it or not?  Maybe I’ll just publish some of them in the new blog.

If any of you watch American Idol you may recognize Megan Joy in one of my upcoming posts. I recently photographed her and her son… what a cool kid!

Within the next week or two I am also going to be announcing a major contest/giveaway for a lucky bride and groom so if you are getting married or you know someone who is you’re going to want to see this!

Here are a couple of images that I can post!  I hope you enjoy them!

Ireland getting ready to crawl… they grow up way to fast!

Bentley decided it would be cool to put on her brothers cloths and throw down some attitude.

Ayden working his skateboard.

I will probably end up working for him someday. He is talking about shaving his head so you may see some more new photos of him soon.

First I want to thank you all for the great suggestions, Becca and I really enjoyed hearing them!

Three days after her birth we have finally decided on a name for our new baby girl. This is a trend with Becca and I, it took us about 10 days to decide on Ayden’s name.

A lot of you have been texting, emailing, leaving comments and pestering me on Facebook (all well deserved or course LOL) to find out what her name is but we honestly didn’t know until today. We have been going back and forth between two names and finally decided which one we like better.

Our baby guuurl’s name is…

Ireland

Kind of fitting for St. Patty’s day don’t you think! Plus, I think she has a bit of that Irish temper!

She has a pretty mild temper most of the time but check out this shot of her screaming her eye’s out… hahaha

Oh yeah… Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Last Friday the 13th Becca had our new baby girl! We are so excited to finally have our new addition here… seems like we have been waiting forever… well at least 9 months. We chose not to find out what we were having which made for a fun surprise when she was born.

We still have not agreed on a name but I think we will have it soon (I hope)!

Thank you all for your well wish’s, my family and I really appreciate your support!

For now, here are a couple of quick snapshots from the hospital.

She was laying something like this when Ayden came up and lightly touched her head… her ninja like reflexes told her to quickly pull her hands up by her face startling Ayden. He jumped back from his new sister and proclaimed… “She’s got kung-fu!” I seriously almost wet myself from laughing so hard.

Ayden and Bentley came to see their new sister in the hospital… they didn’t know before they got there whether they got a brother or a sister.

As soon as Bentley figured out that the new baby was a girl she ran out into the waiting room and told her grandparents that it was a guuurl and she knew it because she had a pink bow in her hair. She proceeded to tell them that they couldn’t come into the room right now because the baby was drinking her mom’s boob. Kids are so AWESOME!!!



Excuse me buddy… can you stop with the camera already… I’m trying to sleep here!
