hmmm

Ok Folks!  I am trying to make a decision and I really really really think your feedback will help influence me! 

Sooo... I have 3 blogs that I contribute to..

This one...

My photography blog...

And PishPosh mama...

The thought of consolidating this blog and my photography blog has been running rapid thru my brain. 

Obviously I am not sooo incredibly busy with photography that I post on that blog everyday. 

I think it would be nice to have both on one blog...
number 1: to help save me time {since I am officially going back to work... sigh}... number 2: it would be one less blog for everyone look at...
number 3: well... i thought I had a 3rd thought but it must have left my head

Anywho... Let me know what you think!

Smoothie = YUM...

For the past 5 years Logan has been trying to get me to try this smoothie that he made almost everyday while on his mission... 

So I gave in and tried it... FINALLY!  =)

Ingredients..
- 1 banana
- 1 orange
- 1 apple
- 1 tomatoe
- a few strawberries
- 2 carrots
- 1/2 beet {if you really love beets you can do a whole}
- 1/2 cup of strawberry yogurt
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup of orange juice

obviously if you want to add other ingredients such as blackberries, raspberries, peaches, broccoli, or spinach you can... 

I know the vegetables sound weird and its not going to be as sweet as the smoothies at the smoothie shacks, but its super healthy

Give it a try and let me know how you like it.  Or if you mix a few other things let me know!

wanna model...

I have an itch...

I need to shoot a wedding... a bride... or both...

Until I book something I'm lookin' for a model... someone unique and not afraid to be in front of the camera. 

What I am lookin' for...  edgy, vintage, cowgirl, 50's, red, accessories, one of a kind...

Where I want to go... a field or an orchard...

I want lose hair, preferably lose curls... maybe pinned to the side. 

I honestly dont care if  you are a new bride or a bride who has been married for 10 or more years that can still wear that magical dress...  I want to photograph YOU! 

If you are too afraid to contact me and know someone lookin' for free bridals or bridals they never got... PLEASE SEND THEM MY WAY! 

If you are interested please please please email me at haylielynphoto@hotmail.com or if you are one of my close friends just call.. 

Depending on the response maybe I will offer 2 shoots... All on me folks!

prayers needed...

A couple hours ago I got a call from my mom... then my sister in law...

My oldest brother Nathan just got a job offer in South Carolina...  Wait?  What??

So... for those of you who don't know... He is my only sibling that lives near me... the rest {5} are in Florida.  He is the father of 2 of my nieces.  These little girls mean more to me than they will ever know.  They currently reside in Syracuse, UT...  which isn't too far and even with them this close we don't get to see them as often as I would like.  He is the husband to my sister in law Laura...  Who I absolutely adore.  I wish more sister in laws were as easy going as she is ;) 


Here is a picture of Maia and Leah holding Larkyn when she was 5 days old. 

While I was on the phone with my sister in law I was fighting back the tears... the thought of them being on the other side of the country just breaks my heart. 

They are flying there tomorrow to scope out the area...

Obviously I hope the best for them.  I only want them to be happy and honestly Nathan, my brother, he works hard and he deserves a lot.  He deserves to get a great job, doing something that he loves, getting paid what he is worth. 

Why do I ask for the prayers...  ??

Well, the prayers are actually for me... I know I am selfish.  =)  Just Kidding.  I just pray that things will work out for the best for them...  and for me... I know I know selfish. 

I know that whatever is meant to happen will...

I just hope that Nathan's current boss will be able to see how valueable he is and will decide to counter offer his current offer on the other side of the country. 

We find out in a week or so...

it's official...

We have a crawler!  Larkyn decided it was time to start crawling this past Saturday night... you have no idea how ecstatic I am! 

Well for the most part anyway...

I will be completely honest...  I was starting to feel like I was doing something wrong as a mother.  The doctor made me feel weird with his comments about Larkyn not crawling and then I was getting a lot of pressure from other people. 

My house is not baby proofed at all!  I have a lot of stuff that is at her level that I am sure she will be getting into and probably destroying...  {sigh...} 

Here are a couple pictures we took before she decided to get mobile on Saturday night. 


these 2 are my little world!  look at how cute they are!!  My handsome hubalub and his baby girl!



so there is one more kissy kissy picture that I didn't post... I would but some of you might gag...  Larkyn put her entire mouth around my lips and it looks like we are making out!  Oh my... its hilarious!! 

If you notice her nose... a couple weeks ago she got her first battle wound!  I will have to do a post on that later!  That was a rough week.
