2017 Family Photos!

Being on the done side of family photos is pretty great.  They turned out so so well!  Enduring family photos is however...a little less great.  I remember several times thinking, "I am paying a good sum of money for this experience, and I'm not liking it." Haha.  I didn't have my hopes set too high since Ivy was like "STRANGER DANGER" almost the entire time, but luckily photographers are miracle workers and I will treasure these forever!  You know you got a great photographer when you see some not perfect moments or weird hair/wardrobe/body issues and yet you still love the photos!  Here are a selection of my favorites.

Foley Fall

The last few years I feel like I've kind of missed the Fall season.  Last year I was a cranky new mother who could never leave the house and the year before I was an even crankier pregnant person who was throwing up every day.  So...I don't have great recent memories of this time of year I guess!   This year, however, I'm soaking it up!  We loved General Conference, we drove through Big Cottonwood Canyon, we went to a football game, I planted 75 bulbs yesterday, we visited a pumpkin patch, we decorated our porch, and I've been making a conscientious effort to make and eat seasonal foods.  I'm sure I'm late to discover this, but when you're the parent and/or adult, it's pretty much up to you to create your own happiness, and embracing the changing seasons certainly helps.
