Momorial Day 2013







We went camping for memorial day at the most amazing spot. It was such a blast to spend time as a family and watch our little ones enjoy eachother. Sweet memories were made at this happy campground.
 This little man would not nap in his crib, but we made it work. He us adaptable during crash time





The crazy Snow crew. Most adorable family EVER
 These cousins are so in love with eachother, Daniel was enjoying his favorite toy
 Obsessed with this amazing daddy and his biggest fan (besides me of course)
 Can you spot our camp ground... drooling worthy
 Bone hunts

 These beautiful girls were having a blast looking for bones on the hill side




 Scott caught 8 fish, what a champ
 baseball and Lukey's walk of shame to "bathroom mountain"

 Moms and thier babies, such a wonderful feeling to snuggle my baby
The Gardner Explorers. We could hardly keep track of Bekah during all her adventures through the canyons and hills.

Cute Covered in Dirt


 I love being a mom to a boy. He loves dirt. I was so excited to see him outside exploring his warm temporary Dallas home. We have been in Dallas for a week (1 of 2 weeks) staying with my cousin Loralee and her gracious {and adorable} family. They have been so good to us and I am forever grateful. I am falling more madly in love with this little fella everyday. I feel I have a sacred and devine purpose to be his mom and I'm grateful for it. He's growing up so fast and I'm trying to soak up every moment! I am a week into my POTS treatment here in Dallas and every time I talk to the doctor about what is going to motivate me with my {slow and time consuming} treatment, I put my hand about 2 feet from the floor and say "He is about this tall". I want to get better for him. He deserves a mom who can take him to the park and the museum and the zoo. It's going to happen and I'm willing to wait. Love him so deeply. We also miss Daddy lots and lots. Happy Easter Weekend!! ...the adorable little girl playing with Gavin is Malory. She is the most girly and bubbly thing, I've loved hanging out with her. She is Gavin's second cousin... maybe once removed.... I don't know how that all works, they are family!





We found such a great babysitter here in Loralee's ward and she took this great portrait of Gavin. I feel so blessed to have found such a great woman to watch over my child while I am away from home and doing this treatment. God looks out for me.

Graham Devin Hansen

I am so honored to have been able to capture the special moments of child birth for my close friend. She was in labor for over 24 hours and she took it all like a champ! This was the 6th live child birth I've seen (including my own) and every time without fail I cry uncontrollably because of the sweet presence of heaven I feel. I'm so grateful that I was able to share in the experience of this sweet spirit joining such a great family with such loving and good parents. Thanks you Devin and Lauren for letting me capture your special day, and congrats! Graham is beautiful and perfect!
