This will be quick because I have much better thing to do but you should know that we are still alive and kicking. More so kicking than fully alive. The majority of our online efforts have been soaked into our emblem blog. Dustin has worked many long and hard hours updating and setting up our new proofing and ordering site. As well we've been diving more and more into Photoshop. I'm loving that

I've always been a procrastinator. I was one of those students that stayed up all night and did their social studies report the night before it was due. I'm not sure why I'm this kind of person because it really makes my life less enjoyable. I keep telling myself that I'm going to start getting up at six o'clock and making the kids their breakfast early and have Ben's lunch made the night before.

First of all I would like to invite you all to take a peek at our new emblem photoblog. Over the next week or so we will be posting photos of all the shoots we have done thus far this summer. The blog itself will also be undergoing some major renos but we wanted to just get the work out there so you all can have a quick look at what we've been up to this summer. So far there's a longboarding post

Before I begin. Here's a few adorable photos of my little neice Brielle taken a few weeks ago during a visit up North. I couldn't resist giving your eyes a feast of cuteness.BEHOLD the SWEET CHILD! Maybe she doesn't like the camera all that much after all.It's been over a month now since we last pulled into the flat plains of the prairies. And it's been a crazy one. Much like everyone else we

Yesterday was a long gruelling journey. Many mountains to climb and valleys to traverse. Feels like the way of life. As we pulled out of our little culdesac and said goodbye to the beautiful house we built, my heart felt strong. I felt sure. Suddenly, out of my open window I heard voices yelling and through my rearview mirror saw two figures clothed in naught but housecoats running down their

From this point on I will be shamelessly bragging about my talented husband. Ready?Go!Last weekend Dustin had the awesome opportunity to be the photographer at a brand spanking new event here in Summerland. Ride the Giant. Here in Summerland there is a mountain called Giants Head. Apparently the face of the mountain looks like a giant head. I have yet to see this. This mountain is less of a

This will have to be short (as usual) because things around here are still crazy (as usual). But, I just had to let you all know that after my initial breakdown I have been doing tremendously better. I am choosing to enjoy my amazing friends here and make the most of what is left here. Yesterday was filled with good friends and laughter. I am so blessed here.Also, Dustin has an amazing

I think I'm going to start keeping a tally on my breakdowns from here until...the end of time. Er....at least until we move. I didn't expect my world to come crashing down on me so soon. I figured I could at least hold things together until we drove our bulging U-Haul across two provinces.Nope.I have this fear/realization that other's people's lives do not revolve around me (WHOA!) and that their

The last few months have been, um, a little insane and it's only going get worse over the next few. Not bad insane just a bit of a roller coaster ride. It's been awhile since I've posted anything on here personal. Seems everything on here has to do with Emblem these days. But, that is not all that our lives consist of. Far from it. The past months we've been doing all sorts of fun things with

My horseback riding skills are shallow. I get nervous when they eat grass out of my hand and I hang on more than I ride. Horses intimidate me. I know I am not the only one with stories of getting tossed and being the lead act in the "involuntary rodeo". So, I can deduce that being a little nervous around horses is normal. So, when my father in law asked if I wanted to go horseback riding the

As promised here are some of my favourite photos of an engagement photoshoot we did in Lethbridge while we were there. What a fun couple to work with. Very comfortable in front of the camera. And that always shows. And AGAIN we ended up with two very attractive people to photograph. And they are very obviously in love.

I will make this quick for you all. Mostly because I'm in Lethbridge right now at my mom and dad's and we've been super busy. We shot a beautiful wedding in Canmore last weekend which turned out to be a little soggy but ultimately fantastic. I can't WAIT to put up some photos. I think we have some new favourites. Then last night we went out with a very fun couple and did their engagement photos

That is what this blog is right now. Burning in the back. I know it needs attention and I shall hopefully get to it one of these days. Right now we've been really busy with photo stuff. We had a bunch of gig over the last few weeks and more to come. Realistically I don't think this blog will be getting much attention for awhile. But keep checking our emblem site.

Some reasons why I'm loving our new camera...Again it helps to have the cutest baby in the whole world at my fingertips for optimal photo ops.So, we're still living in wait over here. Living in limbo makes for a variety of feelings throughout the day.

Are there any of you still out there? I know that there hasn't been much posted since Christmas but I suppose it's just not a priority. Sorry.

Ususally, I like to have a nice, long, syrupy reminiscient post about my kids on each of their respected birthdays. This year however, Megan's slipped by and I was unable to do so. Not that we forgot it. We had an awesome celebration for her. We had our traditional family fun night at the local pool and MacRaunchy's. Followed of course by blizzards at DQ. Then a few days later Megan had a small

Let me take you on a little tour. This is our main living area. And let me tell you...it's NEVER this clean. And the very few times it has been. It's entirely too short lived.Let us begin.....Come in come in. Enter our abode. This is what you will see as you enter our front door. hello clean floors. Hello lack of toys to step on. How I love thy uncluttered state. Come and join me upstairs....

In the midst of our chaos. Amongst tools and paint cans, piles of masking tape and drywall dust, there sits an open box. On the side of the box is a picture of.....a new camera!After many many months of research and debate Dustin and I finally took the plunge and purchased some new equipment to support our photography business.

Yesterday Dustin and I put up the last of the crown moulding on the kitchen cabinets and this is the finished result. It's amazing to me what a difference the little details make. Dustin thinks the little cabinet looks funny with the crown moulding and that it looks like it has a hat. I think it would look out of place if it didn't have it. I won. I've decided that as the house is completed I

This will be short on words and (as always) long on photos. I thought I forgot how to use my camera. It had been awhile since I set out to pick the thing up. My energy these days has been channeled mostly into things like painting, and grouting and keeping my kids out of my husbands hair as he works to get this home of our ready to sell. As it nears it's completion I will be posting photos of it

This is my firstborn son Ben. He doesn't get as much phototime on here as my other two because as soon as I take out my camera he starts making goofy faces. Which is cute but maybe not all the time. Sometimes I can catch him playing and he'll ignore the big black object I keep pointing in his general direction. Like these....

Conversation between Megan and I as I put her to bed last night."Oh no!" She pints out the window at the silver half moon." Mommy, lots of pieces fell off the moon! They fell down to Grandma's house, we must go over there and get them back. And we will go there and knock on her door and she will answer it and say..."Come in!"

But, I did manage to get the opportunity to photography my sister and her hubby. I won't post them all on here as they will go up on Emblem's site.

CHRISTMAS!Yay. It's official. Christmas is in full swing around here. We've had goodies and concerts and ornament coming out the wazoo around here. And don't forget vomit. Well, not out the wazoo but definitely the other end. I'm glad it's passed over us before we head to Lethbridge for the holidays. Seriously, if you asked me if I knew anyone around here who's avoided this nasty bug, I would say

Should I cut this rat's nest? Do rat's even live in nests? Maybe I should refer to this as the source of morning horrors and screaming. Should I hack off the source from which stems the screaming? How does the girl even manage to walk around without bumping into walls? She refuses to keep anything in her hair. But, she doesn't want it short. Apparently princesses don't have short hair. I'm so

The other morning I noticed a draft, a chill, a frigid blowing wind... actually. In my house. How curious? I followed the chill feeling to my open front door. What is this? I thought to myself. I must not have closed it properly and the wind blew it open. I grabbed the handle to close it shut. But wait! Movement hath caught mine eye...is that....? Olivia?OLIVIA! Crawling...bare hands and knees

This is the last post I will be writing until the new year. I just need a break from the bloggng scene for awhile. So, you won't be hearing from me on your blogs or on my own. But, feel free to challenge me to a game of scrabble on Facebook. I couldn't leave without putting up photos though! See you after Christmas. I will be posting on emblem if do any photoshoots though!The photo of Megan

On the very last semi-warm, or should I say, not totally freeze your buns off day this fall, my friend Karyn and I went out to take a few shots of her and her kids. They are wonderful kids, and a wonderful, loving, giving family. Full of fun energy and life. Our kids have found friends for life in those kids.Karyn is an awesome photographer and I hope to be as good as her...someday. Being such,

You may remember that it was Olivia's birthday a few weeks ago. As such, her loving Gramma sent her a very cute jumper in the mail. After she'd been wearing it a few hours I noticed a little tag on her diapered bum...How cute is that????!! Mom did you know it say's "Liv a little"? I love it cuz that's what we call Olivia...Liv. Little Liv. The Liver. The Liverator. Livey, Liv Liv Liv...Liv.Sick

For as much grief as I give Megan on this site...I really do need to give that sweet girl more credit. Yes, she infuriates me sometimes, yes, her will is strong...very very very strong, yes, more times than I'd like to admit, I've wanted to knock her block off.BUT...There are increasingly more and more moments where the real Megan reveals herself.

Yesterday olivia began her journey into the world of walking children. She stumbled from her highchair into my arms and I squeeled with glee. "Dustin did you see?"He grumbled how he had yet to see her skillllz. So we brought her into the living room and sat on opposite couches. She walked between us over a dozen times. We all squeeled over and over. Somehow even though this is the third time

Blogging is not my life.In fact ,my husband sometimes gets a little frustrated with the whole idea of it.

There are times when my enthusiasm for housework is maybe a bit...lacklustre. As in I don't do it. There are people out there who love to clean and cook and bake and make me feel like I suck when I go to their houses and eat their food. I ,however, do these things cuz I have to. SOMETIMES I like to cook if I have people to impress other than three kids who never like what I make anyways. Like

Olivia,It's your birthday. You are ONE!!! I can hardly believe it. Your first year is by far the fastest craziest year I've endured yet. I have LOVED your baby stage. LOVED IT! I mean, just look at that picture of you...all squishy and chubby. I forgot just how fat you really were. I hadn't realised how much you've slimmed down since you started crawling until looking back over your pictures

Have you ever found youself in a situation where you lave completly lost control? I don't mean lost control of the circumstances beacuse really we don't have control over that anyway. I mean lost control of your self, your emotions, your ability to think with in reason? i found myself in one of those moments yesterday. Allow me to explain.I have a daughter who is three.

Okay, folks, you might notice on the right hand side, a link. Check it out. We are pretty stoked. I know this doesn't really qualify as a post but I have a new blog to tend to. We won't abandon this one, mind you, it's just that the new one is so ... fresh, fresh... EXCITING... doo, doo, doo, doo, doo... so exciting to meee.So much for NaBloPoMo.Check, check it out.

And by party, I mean my closest friends brought their screaming kids over and we fed them cupcakes. It was pretty insane for awhile there. This is the true measure of friendship people. If your friends can bring their kids over, feed them sugar, watch them all try to kill eachother, and you all still leave as friends. This is pretty miraculous. Olivia's birthday is not actually until Thursday.

We had the typical halloween. Pumpkin Carving, cupcake decorating, games, trick or treating, stuffing our faces with candy. It was a good day. Unfortunately these pictures loaded out of order but...whateves! You can't tell from the above photos but Olivia is fighting a TERRIBLE chest cold. She is wheezy and miserable. She tries so hard to have the energy to be as mischevious as usual but she ends

my baby girls big baby blues! She turns one next weeks. Keep checking in. Pretty flowers. A lovely fally scene. I heart autumn. Nibbly baby toes. I also discovered yesterday while hat shopping that I have a unusually small head. The only hat out of dozens and dozens that fit was kid size. What the heck!? Any other ladies have this problem? It's the same when I try to buy glasses. Wierd.

The story so far is...1) We are ready to take bats to our computer. This PC is only a year old and has NEVER run well or smoothly for us. We ARE getting a Mac. Yesssssssss.

I am inspired by photography and after being encouraged by so many many people, we have decided to take the necessary steps to the beginnings of our own photo business. I'm not too sure where to begin with all this and I'm fairly certain that this process will be a number of years in the making but I'm very excited to take these steps forward to pursue my dream.Obviously because I have little

This weekend, one which we reflect on that which we are thankful for, was one of joy, laughter and some tears.Four months ago we brought home a soft, rolly, lumbering, white lab puppy that we (well...Ben actually) named Maximus. In the time since, the kids have fallen in love with his gentle, playful nature, his love for the chase, and his velvety ears. There were days that I wanted to kick him

As promised here is the pillow. I made such a big deal out it you were probably expecting something much more complicated right? What not even tassels? You're thinking. Well, maybe the next ones will have some embellishments. I just found this fabric and thought it was too perfectly pretty and matchy matchy to pass up. It IS pretty. Maybe I should allow my dog to destroy more things in the house

This is a bit late in coming as these photos are a few weeks old but.... gimme a break. Remember, I have three kids and and puppy. And I sometimes have to feed them and shovel their heaping, steaming piles of poop onto the neighbours' lawn. This takes TIME people. Copious amounts of it. And remember I also like to nap and SEW THINGS! (I will post a picture of the THINGS I SEWED!)These pictures

ACK! Has it been two weeks since my last posting? I've been trying desperately to get my fingers on this keyboard for weeks now. You'd think that having kids in kindergarten and preschool would give me a little more time on the computer. Which would be true if I were to have spent said time on the computer and not passed out on the couch or baking cookies or sewing pillows. (I SEWED PILLOWS!)

Megan haas been blessed with the very same hair I toted around as a kid. Fine, white, flyaway, tangly, straight hair. You can't grow it long, you can't chop it super short, you can barely tie it back, and you have this to deal with every morning. Good times. Not to mention Megan does not do well with minor pain. There is a great deal of screaming and head turning to contend with. Again...good

As previously mentioned, yesterday was my big Ben's birthday. And because we love him. We threw him a party. Not just a party. A partaaaaaaaaaay! Those are the best kind. Bear with me. I took alot of pictures. I like to take A LOT of pictures.Like these of the birthday boy... And this one of bums and feet. We made sure we brought along all Ben's peeps.This is Ben's BFF Graham's baby sister Emily.

I first nemed this post "My baby No more" mostly because I can't believe that Ben is five today. FIVE! How fast did that go?VERYFAST!But, I was showing this to Dustin and he was all.... "What do you mean?!! He'll always be your baby!"This is true. Ben, he will always be the fist baby to win over my heart. The first baby to show me what it means to lose oneself in the light of the unfathomable,

These are from about a month ago, but i had to share anyways. These are clips form my camping adventure with my family. I've been waiting because I've been wanting to have something meaningful and witty to say to go along with my pictures but my brain is fried. I've got nothing left. So, enjoy the pictures anyways.

Avelyn joined our ranks today as her mommy was working hard bringing home the bacon. It was a surprisingly restful day as a good friend of mine relieved me of Ben and Megan for the afternoon so I could chase around the two babies. And, yes I did chase them but I also had two hours when they were both napping. AT THE SAME TIME! I almost didn't know what to do with myself....so I didn't do anything

Over the last week or so Olivia's been practicing the motions to start crawling. She's already perfected going from a laying to a sitting postion and she very adept at getting up on all fours and moving tentatively backwards. All she needs now is for someone to light a fire under her bum and she's ready to go. Here's the ever perfect gymnastic "tent". Yes, she so advanced you know. To be honest

Can we say...Torrential downpour? Because that is what we had here in Summerland yesterday. I thank my lucky stars that we were one of few people who's basements remained dry. Many a person had their eyes nearly clawed out in an attempt to get their hands on a pump. This next picture is of our neighbours back yard. Yes, that is a waterfall. This is Benny just standing in the rain being literally

I was browsing blogs yesterday and I read a quote off ny cousin shannon's blog which she actually got off here a long tima ago and it was such an amazing reminder to me that I needed to share it with you."One thing is certain: If we do not willingly give our children the right kind of attention, we shall be compelled to give them the wrong kind of attention. The time we do not spend caring and

Lately Dustin and I have been feeling like this: It's not fun... so this weekend we went to this place: And took a nice leisurely walk to here: I took a picture of hot hubby: And he took one of me... I look happy to be away don't I? Then we ate here: Yummy!!!!Can you see the waterfall in Dustin's eye? It was pretty....Now we feel like this:Due to the selfless love and generousity of some amazing

what am i tryin to catch?Today I was about the usual business. Rest cut short by radio chatter, I hit it. I thought about how much time I had to get ready, cost me ten minutes. Stumbled into the ritual, nose to the bowl and eyes up at the cereal box. Trance was then disturbed by a thump one floor up, my son leaping into the day. I welcomed him into my day, so happy to see him, to hold him, to sit

Only puppies bite harder. I've been a busy lady in my absence. Not only did I drive eleven hours across provinces with three children BY MYSELF, but I done got myself a puppy. Again, I am a sucker for punishment. The kids and I had a wonderful time torturing grandma and grandpa and their little doggie Nikita (who mainly hid in her kennel upstairs all weekend). Gramma fed them Coco Puffs for

As in, if you don't keep up to date it gets overwhelming and you just don't do it at all. blah blah. Thank you for your faithfull checking in. I hope to keep more updated. But, I make no promises. Olivia... This one's for you! Not only are you the cutest little chubbaluv to grace mine eyes, but you are the still the sweetest little muffin I know. This months you turned six months.

I was going through our photos from the last few months and I was amased at how many were of Dustin and the kids. Mostly because I'm the person staring through the lens. But, i also felt a little tinge of jealousy. It seems, no matter how hard we try... mommies just aren't as much fun as Daddies. Mommies, it seems, are best for kissing owies and cuddles before bedtimes and making dinners and

Amanda sent me these interview questions:1. If you were to get a tattoo, what and where would it be?Getting a tatoo is something I have often thought about. But, I know for certain that if and when I do, I want it to have significant meaning to me and not just be some cool fad or trend I'm following. I've watched enough Miami Ink to know that the best place for a woman to get a tatoo is her

Today we skipped church and zipped into Kelowna and bought ourselves one of these bad boys. It is the first ever trampoline to rid itself of three of the main things that cause injury on a trampoline. The springs, there are none. The metal frame, and the possibility of falling off. Now if only we could come up with a way to prevent kids from bashing their heads against once another and we'd be

Awhile back Dustin and i had decided we'd had enough of our two year old daughter toting her soother every where she went and decided it was time to purge our household of said item. My belief was that it was going to be very difficult to accomplish such a task due to the degree of attachment megan had towards her soother. And yes, it took a few days but ultimately was much easier than I'd first

I have been blonde for my entire life. As a toddler I sported a lovely stringy, flyaway, white blonde do which evolved in a honey gold in my elemetary years eventually prograssing to a dirty mousy shade in highschool that I lightened artificially to various shades and hues of blonde as I deemed fit. There was one time a few years ago i bought a home dye kit and tried to dye my hair dark but it

Awhile ago someone had made a comment that they thought Dusin was the one in the family who takes the pictures. And while yes it is true, he does have more natural artistic talent than I and does take some of the pictures posted here at Heigh Five, I must say that I tend to be the more passionate photographer in the house. I must give credit where credit is due however. Dustin's reputation as an

This week has been a tough one for Olivia. She is battling MAJOR cold virus numero three since her birth only four and a half months ago. She rattles and wheezes all day long and the hacking cough makes her gag and vomit. We've been to the doctor who baisically gave me the great news that we can only wait for it to pass. Thankfully she's been cheerful. Tired but cheerful. Other than the hacking

Is is just our family or does anyone else have like...A HUNDRED birthdays in March? To the Heigh family March is now March Madness. A month in which we celebrate five birthdays. And now we've decided to just lump it together and celebrate those in early April now as well. Dustin commented we might as well get it over with and have a party for everyone in the entire family in March. There's not

Today I went for a nice, invigorating walk in the sunshine. Add two new moms and three babies plus one preschooler and you have a recipe for disaster. BUT, it wasn't. It was amazing. Fresh air, good company, three sleeping babies and one behaving little girl. My shoulders are a bit sore though because I carried Megan on my back most of the way in our MEC baby babckpack.

Seeing a it's Valentine's day and all I decided i would share a post about how my hubby and I ended up together. I don't think in all the years i've blogged that i have done that yet. It's a wonderful story and began so many years ago once upon a time on a beautiful island. A gulf just off the coast of Vancouver Island called Thetis Island. I think if I say island again i just might go crazy. I

Here is an old picture of Ben and Megan that's making me get all sentimental and nostalgic It's a quiet morning. Ben is at playschool and Olivia is sleeping and Megan is watching 'Dora'. I can hardly believe I have a few minutes to myself. Lately my brain has been truning circles on itself pondering my life and the direction it's going. If I can stop it from doing flip flops for awhile I feel

I've found myself less and less apt to sit and peruse on the computer these days. The importance of what goes on inside my computer screen seems to pale in comparison to what is going on in my house these days. And thus you may find my comments frequenting your blog less and my posts a little more sporadic at best. I tend to be a "spurt blogger" anywho. But, for those of you who love our little

This morning I decided to "get on with it" and do an official shoot of the kids. I dragged my new duvet cover downstairs and set it up in the living room drapped pricariously over the couch. I tried my best to get the three kids looking somewhat groomed. And began snapping away. And I LOVE what came out. Some of the pictures are a little out of focus, some are a bit goofy in the expressions but
