Whitney Beth Photography: 2019

Happy Birthday Hai! I can't believe Hailey is 15! She is already driving mom and dad crazy asking when she can get her permit! She didn't think it was funny when I asked if she'd be able to see over the dash. ha. Love you Hailey!

Jonesy and I hung the curtains in baby's room today! It's hard to tell from this light, but they are more of a green than blue. It felt good to get some work done in here!

Top Golf with Mitch and Ju! I love having siblings that want to double with us!

February 25th, 2019

Feeling a bit better today, but not well enough to make dinner. I don't think Jones is complaining. Especially since I overestimated how good I felt and couldn't finish my chocolate shake without the worst heartburn I have ever had!

Sunday dinner Facetime with Robert and Olivia! We can't wait until the next time they come down! In other news,I was not able to evade the plague. I woke up nauseous, but decided it was better to go to church not feeling great where I would have Danny and nursery than to stick it out at home. I managed to stay until after the sacrament was passed, but then I had to go! I thought I was going to lose it in the pews. I took Danny's car home and rested until they came home. We didn't leave for dinner until around 4 and on the way up to my mom's I had to have Danny pull over so I could puke up my orange and granola bar. We weren't even out of our neighborhood yet! I spent the rest of Sunday distancing myself from everyone while we hashed out some wedding planning.

28 weeks and in the third trimester! Jones is pretty good at crashing my photoshoots. It's been bitter sweet thinking that we only have a few more weeks of just Jonesy. I can't wait for little man to get here, and I hope Jones shares that same enthusiasm when he comes!

Poor little guy is still under the weather, but he's feeling better! He actually played in his room and wanted to eat a few things. Thank goodness for Danimals Yogurt! That's been the only thing I can consistently get him to eat.

We have had the worst luck this "sick season!" poor little bubby isn't feeling well and kept saying his tummy hurt. Danny has the same thing! Luckily Danny didn't have to work today and was able to cuddle with Jonesy all day in bed. I on the other hand got to escape the sick house and go check out the new NPS in Orem with my mom!

February 20th

February 20th, 2019

I taught the young women a little paint night activity and even touched base on some pointillism and introduced them to Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It was a good night!

February 19th

February 19th, 2019

We took Jonesy to the mall to walk around and have some family time. (We were waiting until the half hour to close mark so we could get half priced cookies at Mrs. Fields) We let Jones do the "every player a winner" ducky claw machine. Not only did he do it all by himself, but he somehow managed to grab three ducks at once! I've never seen anything like it! We kept calling him our "lucky duck!"

February 18th

February 18th, 2019

Julie and Mitch are engaged! After so many failed plans and waiting on a ring, Mitch was finally able to ask! He was supposed to be at work and Julie was helping me out by taking some headshots of me for my blog. Since I've used Ju as a human tripod before, she didn't think anything of it. Especially when I had her stand, "over there" so I could test my light. That's when Mitch popped out with roses and the ring! So excited for these two! May 2nd is going to come fast!

February 17th

February 17th, 2019

Trying really hard to document more of "me and the bump" this pregnancy - Jones decided to jump in and I love it!

February 16th

February 16th, 2019

Kenzie Simons, Marcia Bueno and I threw Brittany a baby shower for her sweet little girl! We made it poppy flower themed - since those are Brit's favorite. It turned out so cute and we all had such a good time!

February 15th

February 15th, 2019

I have never seen a more accurate representation of trying to get my two year old to eat his dinner. Especially when I was trying out a new chicken recipe.

February 14th

February 14th, 2019

Happy Love Day! Jonesy and I made chocolate covered strawberries! Since Danny is on Keto, I made him a "Loving you is Sweet" themed Valentine. I cut up a list of all the bakeries and their recommendations (Keto and not Keto) in Salt Lake and put them in a jar. Now we can pull one out and go get a treat for date nights! Jones and I also waited in line with all of Utah to pick up our "Ketocakes" that we ordered for Danny. They are cupcakes totally keto friendly. Such a yummy, treat filled, day!

Just earning his keep. I got a two-fer tonight! Dishes done and a mopped floor! haha!

The Dollar Tree is the place to be before Valentines Day! They had a literal aisle full of filled balloons! Jones was in Heaven!

Did a little photoshoot for work for a blog post explaining what "aperture" means.

Just what every mom wants to walk in on - their child embracing his spirit animal. haha.

February 9th

February 9th, 2019

Karl, Amy, Konrad, Sarah, Nigel, and Talia came up for the day. They did the tour de cousin and hit us up. Jonesy warmed up to Nigel once he got over the fact that "the baby" was not going to take his cars. Indy and Scout looooved all the attention Karl and Sarah gave them. Not to mention, Indy loves babies and was so happy to have a baby around that let her lick him and play with him. We're so happy these guys live close and that we can see them often! Especially since that is my great nephew on the couch! Never thought I'd be made a great aunt at 26!

February 8th

February 8th, 2019

I was making dinner while Jones was playing and I look up to find him riding Indy! He kept saying, "Giddy up! Giddy up Indy!" - even though Indy had no intention of moving. haha! He tried to ride Scout, but that didn't quite work out too well. This kid is so lucky these pups love him! I've never seen anyone get away with as much stuff as Jones does with these dogs!

Kenzie, Marcia and I are throwing Brittany a baby shower! I asked her what baby girl's room would've been decorated with - had she had the space. Brit told me she loooves poppies and the color navy blue. So we are throwing her a Poppy flower baby shower! I painted the background for the invitation today.

February 6th

February 6th, 2019

It snowed so dang much! I would've been content to just stay in all day, but at the rate it was coming down I didn't think Danny would be able to get in the driveway! So I bundled us up and Jones threw snow at me while I shoveled. Ashley and Raquel saw me working outside and came over to help. It made everything so much easier! Jones didn't want to wear his big coat, and the photographer in me was so happy since his fleece is way cuter with that hat!

February 5th

February 5th, 2019

Lots of cousin time for this kid today! I had my glucose test today for baby, so Danny and I dropped him off at Ed and Steph's and he got to play with this crew! My test results came back that I passed - I'm just mildly anemic and need to take an iron supplement everyday. But the good news is that is exactly what I was with Jones! Later that day we met up at Zupas for Eli's school fundraiser.

February 4th

February 4th, 2019

This big kid got a haircut today! It was probably his best one yet! He hardly wiggled, wasn't scared, and said that it tickled! We celebrated afterwards by having some cookies and chocolate milk next door!

February 3rd

Went on a (snowy) scenic drive up the canyon to admire some pine trees!

The last of the Jones clan was baptized today! It was such a party with Robert and Olivia coming down from Rexburg. We had everyone here, except Makayla. Good job Tyler!

February 1st

February 1st, 2019

Jones and I had some places to run around to, and while we were at Target we found some clearance window cling paint sets. We bought them and took them home to play! It came with a bear and a fox - perfect for baby's room! Jones loved it! So much so, that he's having a hard time understanding that we painted them for his baby brother!

I finished up the Valentines and took the product pictures for my blog post. Maddy loves how they turned out! - So do I!

I had Maddy come over after school to help me with a DIY photo Valentine post I was working on. She was happy to help. Jones was happy to have her over. We had to be quick with our shots because Jones would launch himself into the frame and try and hug it out with Maddy!

Jonesy found the glowing, souvenir ice cubes we got from Disneyland in the freezer while he was trying to convince Danny and I to swap out his dinner for a corndog. He was fascinated with them. Even more so when Danny had him go upstairs to his room with the lights off. He sat in his teepee and named off all the colors as they came across.

January 28th

January 28th, 2019

Julie came over and hung out and then ended up having dinner with us! Jones loved it! So much so that he kept telling me, "Stop talking to my Julie!" whenever she would stop playing to finish our conversation.

There is so much going on in this picture. I love it.

Aquarium Day! Amy, Karl and the girls were up so all us in the valley met up at the Aquarium to play and hang out! Jones loved all the cousin time!

January 25th, 2019

Trying to remember to get in the frame and document everyday life can be hard sometimes. Especially when my nightstand is overflowing with papers and water bottles and just looking at Danny's gives me stress and anxiety. But soon there will be one more tiny person in this house of ours and our world will change drastically. Telling myself it's ok to let things pile up to go play with Jones and the dogs is hard sometimes. Especially when I'm running my business, but I'd do anything for that cute little face!

January 24th

January 24th, 2019

I met up with some photo friends and we exchanged headshots again! I love it when we do these things! Not only do I get updated pictures of myself to use on Instagram and other business related platforms, but I get to actually see my buddies and hang out with them! We always run into each other up the canyon or wherever, but we can never talk because we are always with clients!

January 23rd, 2019

This may not seem like much, but that is a successful car seat sleeping Jonesy transfer! He fell asleep on the way home from my moms. I managed to get him out of his seat, take off his coat, lay him upstairs and eventually change him into pj's - all while he stayed sound asleep! It would have been a miracle had he not come in our bed at 1:30 am. But hey, I'll take what I can get!

January 22nd

January 22nd, 2019

I took some mock studio portraits of Jones for an educational blog post today. This was towards the end. He was done and trying to be funny by not looking at me or smiling. But jokes on him! It turned out to be one of my favorites from the series!

We woke up to a Blizzard! It was coming down hard and fast and the entire neighborhood was a blanket of white. The snow was also heavy, and just after I finished admiring the big, chunky, flakes, I turned away from the window. My peripheral vision caught movement, just as a loud crack and a cloud of snow fell to the ground. The big tree in Derek and Ellen's yard couldn't take the wait and snapped two branches. (The big one being at least a foot in diameter.) The snow continued on. Jones and I went sledding with Kara and Justin Bray at the school. More branches fell, and by the end of the storm a total of 4 branches had fallen onto our property, and one tree! It was insane! By some miracle no one was hurt, and there was no damage done!

After dinner on Sunday all the cousins went into the bedroom, turned off the lights and played with the glow tracks! They stayed in there until it was time to go home!

Happy 8th Birthday to Tyler!! We all went out to eat at In-N-Out for dinner and then headed back to the house for cake and presents. Tyler's birthday decorations have been up all week since he had his friend party last Saturday. It was "Little Foot" themed with snowflakes and icicles everywhere. Danny had been teasing him (along with the rest of the family) that he had a "Frozen" party. While Tyler wasn't looking, Danny and Mitch switched out the Little Foot birthday banner for a Frozen one that Danny had picked up. I had him take pictures in front of it and it wasn't until I said, "Say Frozen!" and all the kids start laughing that he finally figured out what we had done. He just kept saying, "No!" and tried to rip it down. haha! Happy Birthday Tyler!

January 18th, 2019

Baptism pictures for Tyler today! He was so excited to have his pictures taken! When I pulled up to the house a few minutes early he was already ready to jump in the car and leave! It was freezing at the temple, but he was a trooper and we did the whole loop!

Jonesy is back with all the energy he saved up this last week being sick! He thoroughly enjoyed teasing his uncles, eating all the cookies and trying to give uncle Kenny and Tyler a kiss!

January 16th, 2019

After our crazy active day yesterday Jones and I had a chill, low key day at home. I was still pretty sore from falling on my butt a few times and baby was more than happy to kick away while Jones played and I did laundry.

January 15th

January 15th, 2019

We went on an impromptu hike to the suspension bridge after my product shoot with Crust Club today. We needed to work off all that pie! Plus we were still under the impression that this bridge didn't even exist. ha. We started on the Draper side this time. Makayla was right! It is real! Danny and I only slipped and fell a couple of times. We landed right on our butts! Lucky for us we both have lots of cushion! My sciatic nerve was already yelling at me by the time we got to the car!

January 14th, 2019

Scout has done a fantastic job of keeping Jonesy company. Today he finally started to act like himself today. He slept in and had a good nap and was back to driving his cars up and down the dogs' back.

January 13th

January 13th, 2019

I thought we were on the up and up! Poor buddy is back running fevers and sleeping all day. I stayed home from church with him. We ended up taking him to Kid's Care like an hour before they closed. Jonesy was not a fan - but did like the otter pops he got. They gave him more IB as well as a steroid to open up his nasal and sinuses. By the time we left the hospital his fever was broken. Lets hope it stays that way!

January 12th

January 12th, 2019

Danny and I went on a double date with Mitch and Ju again. We went to Applebee's since they were having their all you can eat shrimp and ribs fest (and since Danny is back on Keto! haha) We love hanging out with them!

January 11th, 2019

Jonesy is starting to have longer stretches of feeling better. Hopefully that's the last of it! He helped me build baby brother's crib today!

January 10th, 2019

One of the gals in a photo group I'm in posted about a dress sale they were having to get rid of old inventory. Mom and Julie and I dropped by to see if there was anything worth having, since you never know in a family of five girls what's going to happen next. ;)
