Basketball Banquet

Last Thursday Kelsey had her banquet for basketball. Hornville Tavern catered so it was very good. She won the award for highest percentage in free throws at 88%. She got a plaque with her name on it.  Looking forward to next season to see how Kelsey does!!

Last week my friend Stacy had asked me to take pictures of Hadley for her birth announcements.  So on Sunday that's what I did.  It was so much fun but we couldn't figure out how to pose Hadley like they do in the professional pictures where they have their face resting on their hands.  Looks easy but she wouldn't bend or stay that way.  It was pretty comical at times.  After all was said & done I took over 100 pics.  I wish I could do it on the side it was a blast!  Here are some pics that I took.

Why can't I get my background to change!!!!!

Awesome Day

Back in November I jokingly asked my friend Stacy if I could be in the delivery room.  To my surprise she said sure if you want to film it for us.  I said of course!!  Her due date was at the end of January so I was so excited to get to be in there with her & her husband.  During one of her appointments they found out that the baby was breach of course I was not happy.  At the next appointment she had turned & it was a go for me to be there.  At the beginning of the month Stacy's doctor didn't think she would make it to her induction date of the 18th.  I was pretty bummed that I wouldn't be there.  If she were to go in on her own before that I probably wouldn't have been able to get off of work.  My bosses wife had just had her baby on Jan 1st & was going to be off for 2 weeks!  That was really making be nervous. 

Stacy & her husband Chris went in last nite at 7pm.  They started her on cervadil at 9pm.  I had my alarm set for 5am so I could shower & be ready to leave by 6.  Well to my surprise she sent me a text at 4:36am & was at 5-6 cm.  I jumped out of bed & told her I would get ready.  I brushed my teeth, started my car & started packing by stuff to take with me.  I go back to check my phone at 4:40 & I have another text from her.  It says "Can u come up asap.  Chris passed out & hit his head."  By this time I am freaking out!!  I am out the door by 4:47.  Running stop lights & speeding like a mad woman trying to get to the Women's Hospital which should be a 30 min drive but only took me 20.  Thank goodness I was praying the entire way.  Chris got back to the room by 6 so that way I didn't have to play the part of coach. 

This wonderful little girl Hadley Lynn was born at 8:49am 21 in 7lbs 6oz & a head full of dark hair!  Seeing a baby being born was a totally awesome experience.  I'm so glad they let me be apart of their special day!  I am a great videographer so who wants me to video their birth!!!  Hahaha!
