 Yesterday went to the temple with two other families for a mass portrait session. They took our pictures and we did theirs. Here is a  little preview of my favorites. Some of these were took by me and the rest were taken by friends.

Just because...

Things I forgot to blog about part 2

My birthday!!!! 29.... one more year to go until Tim and I turn 30. Wow...

OK Things I want to do before I'm 30

1. Sing in a band...(only for like a minute) I think I would die of stage fright. So if you know someone I could practice with, let me know.

2. Go camping.  (done, post to follow)

3. Write a book of poetry (I'm thinking it will be based on my experience with motherhood)

4. Read War and Peace. I have never read it. I'm daunted by Russian literature

5. Organize, style and shoot a themed engagement session. I'm thinking Breakfast at Tiffany's

6. Start a food blog. I already have a name, The Borrowed Recipe, and a web address. Now if I only had the energy to post something to it.
I think I will start with those  things...If i finish another one of those soon i will have to add more

Things I forgot to Blog about... Part 1

Yosemite...back in the late spring we went o Yosemite...it was AMAZING! You should go too.

First Day of School

Today my little girl went to Preschool. I'm a little sad...but I know thats normal.

She was so excited to get to school!

We hugged her and brought her in.....

And then we got the sad face...

But when I picked her up at noon she was all smiles! Next up on Lily's bucket list? Driving. I think we are in trouble.

Temple Stop

Today as we were driving around...after leaving Lily's doctor for her PRESCHOOL physical, (Yes I said PRESCHOOL! No I can't believe it,) Lily said Let's go to the temple. With better things to do I said No...not today. Then she cried and I said OK. So we went.
   Luckily I had my camera with me and grabbed a few shots

Have any of you ever tried to capture a two year old on camera? Yes? See here how well I did.

While we were snapping pictures, a cute couple celebrating their anniversary wanted me to take their picture with their camera. So i did.

Warning: I'm posting a picture of strangers. if you ever see me with a camera. I will take your picture and even send you a copy.

Have I mentioned

that I Love my girl. She is a little bit silly, a little bit sweet, a little bit of attitude, a little bit stubborn (kinda like her Dad), and she tells the most imaginative made up stories that I ever heard in my life! My brothers say she is weird like me. I kinda hope so ;)



Happy Birthday Ryan!

Little Dude turned 2 today ! Here are a few shots of all the excitement. Don't worry...none of these photos are professional.

In the Mickey t-shirts for his "Mickey" Party

It was a good old fashioned backyard pool/water party

complete with an awesome water slide

Did I mention water balloons?

Git 'em Devon!

I Love Baskin Robbins!

He had to get into this right away. I'm already imagining him going to basketball camp.

It was an Awesome day! Thanks to everyone who came!
