branding

last friday was the hairpin branding. jonnie L.O.V.E.D. every minute of it. she just wanted to get in on all the action and it was pretty tough keepin' her out of it. these are just some pictures i snapped while knox man was snoozin'. i'll bet by the next branding jonnie will be up on her horse and roping all those calves right along with them. this time, the dummy calf had to suffice:)

7 weeks and UT visit

i can't believe knox is already 7 weeks old! it's been fun seeing him grow... literally each day. he was pretty skinny when he came out.... almost a whole pound less than jonnie. she was chunky straight outta the womb! but not this little guy.... he's had to work on it. and that he has! he LOVES his nursies and it is really starting to pay off. he finally has a couple rolls on his legs and his double chin is getting to be really awesome too:) i love my babies! 

we went down to UT last weekend. JD flew out to Oklahoma to find us a house {and that he did---woo!} and I had some sessions to shoot so it worked out perfectly. Grammy & Bompa had LOTS of grandbaby time so i decided i better get some pics of them and the cute relationships they each have with their g-babies. 

*story behind the pics- my dad wanted to get a cute photo for his office--- so my mom and haley were making fun of him for all the different pics he wanted to take... it was pretty hysterical. i love my UT visits and they always go by WAY TOO FAST! 

 knox is getting to be on guard when jonnie comes around--- she loves him to death--- sometimes a little too much! 

jonnie's first boyfriend

today jonnie went branding with JD and met her first boyfriend. he is 3. his name is weston. he's a cowboy. and they held hands and shared hats on their first date. love at first sight? i think so.
