Parker Family

 

Here is a teaser photo of the shoot I did with the Parker family.

Can you tell we had fun?

This is quite possibly one of my favorite images to date.

It just makes me smile!  I can’t help it!

More pictures of the Parker family to come!

Alfalfa

I wanted a few pictures with my hubby.

Instead of cute, wall-worthy images,

I found out I’m allergic to Alfalfa. 

I’ve never been allergic to anything in my life!

I have a whole new level of empathy for those who have allergies.

But dang! Alfalfa fields make such great pictures when your eyes aren’t red and puffy!

Imagine for me.

Today I took my boys (ages 2 and 3) to the local pool.

I wish I could download pictures from my brain.

Or maybe I should get a waterproof, digital camera.

But then I would need at least a few more arms. At least.

Anyway.

Imagine for me many, many moments of pure happiness and fun, smiles and bright colors!

I wish I could download pictures from my brain.

Have I mentioned that I love summer time?

Malu.

 

Malu. Malu. Malu.

We finally got some updated photos of Malu (my husband’s younger brother)!

This kid is ridiculously talented. I’m pretty sure I’ve bragged about him before, but you should hear some of the music he writes! And he’s a natural athlete. This kid can juggle a soccer ball like Ronaldinho. He’s a natural comedian – SNL material for sure!

Once, a classmate of his told him that he looked like Jacob Black, and he responded to her with a, “So, you’re saying I’m handsome?” Yah, he knows he’s tall, dark and handsome!

Enjoy!

Schools Out!

School is officially out. It’s going to be a party this summer!  My husband’s two youngest brothers are here and my youngest brother and sister are here visiting for the summer! We have ages 17, 15, 15 and 13. Oh yes, and I have two little boys of my own… :)

The key is order.  We went over the chores for the summer, and expectations, the rules… basically getting on the same page to have our home run smoothly and keep everyone contributing and having a good time! They’re all good kids though, so it really isn’t half as stressful as it could be.

I really do love summer time in Utah!

Just one of those days…

Today has been one of the days.

I realize that I don’t appreciate my husband enough.

The sunshine is hiding behind the clouds.

My car battery is dead, and I don’t have the energy to do anything about it.

I wasted away 2 hours of my life on the LOST Finale. I’m so relieved it’s over. Now, I can move on with my life.

I’m veryveryvery much looking forward to Girls’ Night tonight. Letters to Juliet should lift my spirits, and the grilled shrimp from Applebees will be icing on the cake. I need to recharge my batteries.

Just a little bit.

Then I can take on the world again.

Thanks goodness for Chocolate.

Like I said, it’s just been one of those days.
