Warren Jay Ellsworth : THE MIRACLE CHILD

Warren Jay Ellsworth was born on November 23rd at 7:16 a.m., he was 7 lbs. and 11 ounces and 20 inches.
This picture was taken on November 26th Janica's Birthday, also Thanksgiving day and most importantly the first time Janica got to actually hold and feed little Warren after his birth.

Crystal Gledhill, one of our good friends from home was Janica's head Nurse during the birth of Warren and A HUGE blessing that she was.

Here are some of the messages on Facebook from that day.

Janica had her baby, Warren Jay Ellsworth he was born at 7:16 a.m., he was 7 lbs. and 11 ounces and 20 inches. He was born by C-section and has had some complications after birth. He was life flighted to the U of U children's hospital and is going under some tests to make sure that he is ok. More information can be given when they know more... please pray for them.

We are very positive tonight as Warren is stable, but will remain in the cold unit for 72 hrs. They are preforming tests to see what went wrong & to know how much he was affected by the trauma & lack of oxygen. A good sign is that he has been a feisty little fighter. He doesn't like the cold, & not being able to be held & fed by his mommy.

 Thank you for all of the prayers and fasting. Warren is doing awesome. All labs have been normal. Neurological ultrasound just came back normal. There was no bleeding in the brain. His last test is an MRI scheduled for Saturday morning as a precaution to check brain structure and tissue. They expect it to be normal.  Thank you again for all of your love and support.

sneak peak : Robertson Family


Tahitian Dance performance

Kali and I decided to learn Tahitian before we left this wonderful place.  I have really enjoyed learning the different cultures and wanted to take back as much with me as I could.
We have been practicing these dances for a couple of months and now it was time to perform.
We had to braid our hair and keep it in for a day so we could get the big hair look.
Then we met at Maeva's (our instructor) house to make our t-leave hip bands and our hauku's (head bands).





The night of the performance.  
Larissa and I took the classes together.
Little Kali girl looked ADORABLE!!

she is a good little performer


THANK YOU SO MUCH AARON AND KREW FOR COMING AND SUPPORTING US!
AND A HUGE MAHALO TO THE E-HOUSE GIRLS AND MOM'S FOR COMING AND CHEERING US ON!

Krew

My little man Krew has some things right now that he is REALLY into.
He LOVES the movies Nemo and Shrek.
He loves to play with his best buds Tyken and Nate.
He smiles and says cheese anytime he sees a camera or video camera.  Lately he  wants to take the picture and gets mad if I don't let him hold the camera by himself.
He loves to push the stroller instead of ride in it.
He loves to be outside and run around.
If we are inside he stands next to the screen door and says, "outside, outside"
If he is in his stroller he says, "walk, run or push" which ever he is in the mood for.
He LOVES water, bath water, washing his hands, ocean.  When he sees it in a picture he even freaks out with excitement, WATER WATER.


He loves to hide in laundry basket, closet, under a blanket, etc.

He is OBSESSED with FOOTBALL, Aaron is overjoyed with this one.  I don't know what Aaron did to this little guy but anytime he sees ANYTHING FOOTBALL he goes crazy.  If football is on TV.  He will say over and over and over again, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL, FOOTBALL.  He loves to throw and carry around his football.  When ever he sees Aaron's helmet he likes to put it on and run into people and walls.
If you ask Krew to give you his football face he scrunched up his nose, it is pretty intimidating :)
He loves to give noggin, I think he got this from Nemo, but he will head butt you and he does it hard, it really hurts and it doesn't faze him AT ALL.  He has a hard head.



Lately he tries to put on his own clothes.  It is pretty entertaining, he doesn't quit get the concept yet of how it all works.
He also LOVES to sit on the toilet, he says, "poo poo".  Anytime Kali goes to the bathroom Krew has to sit on the toilet after her.
He also is IN LOVE with balloons.  
I bought him a helium balloon the other day and it doesn't leave his side.  He even sleeps with it :)
I think I covered all of Krew's latest and greatest!

Great American Circus

Kali and I went to the circus and it was pretty entertaining.  When we first got their they had a bounce house, bounce slide, ropes course and rock climbing wall.  So Kali spend the first 15 min playing on all the toys before the performance started.
At intermission sponge Bob and Dora came out to take pictures with the kids.  KALI FLIPPED OUT!  Mom the real sponge Bob and Dora, I am so excited to tell my friends, I got to hug the real sponge Bob and Dora.  :)


Some of the performers from the second half of the show.







The smallest bike in the world and he rode it.

Contortionist.  She was amazing.

No animals at this circus this year (I guess last year one of the elephants went crazy) just a lot of people doing some pretty crazy things.  It was fun!

more foto sessions...

I have had so much fun being able to photograph so many beautiful families.  I would love to do more, however, I sadly leave this beautiful island in 34 days :( so I have decided to spend my last few days here enjoying beautiful hawaii and awesome friends.  
Since I have had such an awesome response in people still wanting their families photographed, I decided to call another awesome fotographer, who is so WONDERFULLY offering the same deal that I did to photograph your families.
She has a very similar style to mine and Angies, so she is PERFECT!

Check out her blog, fani j. foto she has dates and times ready to fill and they will go quickly!!!

sneak peak : Wynes Family

OK, so this turned out to be more than just a sneak peak :)  I had to try to make a post in true Angie fashion.  Also, I just want to thank Angie for helping me with all of these photo shoots.  It has been crazy, but tons of fun and it wouldn't have turned out as good with out her and my man (reflector man, post coming soon about him :)
