Wright Family Photos

My brother Jason and his son Jacob (my nephew) came to UT in July to visit. We squeezed a lot of activities into a few days. I took Jacob to CrossFit a few times, including a Y hike (killed my poor calves… ouch!), they went fishing, boating, cabin-ing. 😉

My Dad wanted family photos, since I think the last one we had of all of us (besides Josh’s wedding) was when we were just kids. So we went to FotoFly (are you seeing a trend here?) in Draper. Poor Jen was very pregnant (in fact she gave birth just 2 short days later), but we assured her we would take another one the next time we were together again.

Ford’s 2 year Photo Shoot/Family Pics

Because we had such good luck with Ford’s 18 month photo shoot – we went back to FotoFly, but this time we went to FotoFly Away, which is at Thanksgiving Point. It’s a little more expensive, but man, the scenery can’t be beat. Our photographer was great, so incredibly patient with Ford (& Olivia!).

Ford's ONE YEAR OLD photo shoot

Kristina Curtis has done it again!

For Ford’s last photo shoot we headed down to Utah Lake at the docks. It was an early morning and much like Ford’s 10 month photo shoot – he wasn’t really digging it. It was a bit chilly being right on the water and he was tired. But we managed to get some good shots and Kristina offered to take some family shots as well. (of course, we brought Olivia too!)

My cute boy! Such a handsome little stink!

Ford had absolutely ZERO interest in his cake. I was SO hoping to get some good cake smash photos and he just wasn’t in to it. Like, at all.
Olivia, however, gladly stepped up and helped take care of the cake issue.

Ford’s Birthday Party

(sidenote – I’ve been a really crappy blogger – I hate blogging this late after the event – I forget most of the details and have to think of something clever to say…)

We celebrated with family and close friends and had so much fun. It was great to have everyone come over to the house and check out our new place (even though it was (and still is) so bare!).

We BBQ’d hot dogs & brats, had baked beans, chips & salsa, and veggie trays.
And of course, a smash cake for the birthday boy and cupcakes for everyone else. He actually didn’t dig the smash cake as much as I thought he would. He just scraped the frosting off the cake and then got mad when his hands were sticky. Silly boy.

On his birthday we gave him our gift – the Little Tykes Cozy Truck – and he LOVED it. He loves going for rides, opening (& closing) the door, tailgate and gas cap (again and again).

He got extremely spoiled by everyone and got lots of clothes (yay for fall & winter clothes), some cool shoes, books and toys.

 

Happy Birthday Ford!

Here’s a little slideshow I put together on SmileBox for Ford’s party today – I figured I should share it here since I can’t invite everyone over to my house.
Hopefully I’ll get a post up later this week for Ford’s 1st birthday party!
