For The Beauty Of The Earth...

I took these in Springville Canyon. I am so grateful for the beauty our Heavenly Father has bestowed upon us. We live around such beauty. I love being able to photography in northern Utah. Can you please cast a vote about which one you like the best & why!! I am going to send one into a nature photo contest. And need some more opinions. Thanks, and by the way that thing is a caterpillar. Crazy huh??

FLOWER PICKER...

Evelyn has a new hobby. She loves to pick flowers...mostly the dead dandelions with the seeds you blow off. She does this as she walks down our street. As she passes each house, she doesn't mind helping them out by picking all of these. Of course she isn't really helping out when she lets all of the seeds blow off all over the lawns. We just wanted to get out today, so we packed up and drove to Springville canyon. Once Evelyn saw the first dandelion she was off. And did that for the next hour. She is really fun to watch because she picks them with her left hand & hands them to her right. She also mostly eats with her left, so she could be a lefty.

FAMILY GET TOGETHER:)

We got to see all of my brothers and sisters (& my parents) this weekend for my neice Ella's baby blessing. That doesn't happen very often, so its a real treat when we can all be together. It was so fun & we had a blast. Good food & good conversations:)For those who didn't know Kendra is expecting in March, so excited for her & Sterling. Everyone is staying busy with school, work, & kids. Here is a family photo of how big we are growing. I also took some other pics as well. I am so grateful to come from such an amazing family:) Love all you guys!

ELMO LOVE:)

My mom got Evelyn this Elmo's World Movie for her birthday, and she has had lots of love for him ever since. We got her this Elmo off of Ebay, and as you can see...it was a big hit! It's nice and soft for her and quiet for us!! Win/Win:)

Hair Troubles..

Today I had a hard time with coloring my hair. First off, I have to color it 24/7 now cause I get so much greys...that right folks gray hair!! I never thought I would get it so bad this early in life. It started to happen right after I had Evelyn. It seems to be increasing all the time now. Its a real downer for me:( Well, I usually dye my hair from Sally's Beauty supplies. But, I was in Walmart and didn't want to make an extra trip. So, I grabbed this Feria Loreal box. I wanted to go lighter. I like my hair darker..and Trent likes is more of a medium brown. So, I thought what the heck. Well, I went through all the trouble of putting it on my head. And showered rinsed, the works. (not easy or fun to experience on your own). I looked in them mirror...the result....my same dark hair with orange/red tips...pretty ugly. Uh, I wasted $10, smelling crappy fumes...while killing brain cells for nothing. So, when Evelyn got up from her nap. I went and got the normal Sally's color I always get and it fixed it. Ahhh....so annoying. I think this happens to all of us. We see the box, the beautiful girl and think: Well, if I get this color I can look as pretty as her..then comes the disappointment. They totally know what will make it sell. Needless to say I am now back to my boring dark brown/black color for now.

15 Month Pics:)

Baseball Game!!

Trent has been playing on a league baseball team with his brothers. This was the first game I went to. Trents parents were in town so we all went. It was really fun to see him. He looks so cute in his baseball getup. I was happy he wanted to wear baseball pants again...hehe. I fell in love with watching him play in highschool. Evelyn loved running around everywhere! I could barely keep up with her.
