chinchiladas

Tonight we had dad's delicious enchiladas. 

Kolby said, "I'm full of my chinchilada." 

He is such a funny little dude. Love him!

Guess who Kaden was for the 5th grade wax museum?

I especially like the added touch of the basketball shirt. :)

a man of many...

who is this stranger?

...and when did he get so old??

quote

We are sitting here as a family on a chilly Thursday night watching Alice In Wonderland. I'd heard such bad reviews but I must say that I do not agree. I love it. My new favorite quote is from the movie:

Hatter: "Have I gone mad then?"

Alice: "I'm afraid you have. You're entirely bonkers. But I'll let you in on a secret: 

all the best people are!"

funny text

I didn't take any Halloween night pictures because we were too busy keeping warm and dry from the hurricane that blew through that night, but right before Halloween, Kent took Ky and Kolb to the BYU Bean Museum for trick or treating and he sent me this text...(his words are below the pic.) I laughed and laughed.

 

 "Smile Kolby."

 "I am smiling!"

Ha ha ha ha ha ha!

You can see what Kyler and Kolby were for Halloween. So cute!

Kenyon was a Frenchman, with a beret,  scarf, and mustache.  He wasn't supposed to go trick or treating. We had told him last year was his last trick or treat year, but then we gave in when all his friends were going. Our rule was that they had to all be wearing costumes, they had to be polite at the doors, and they had to watch out for little trick or treaters. I think they did pretty well. I heard positive reports from neighbors, but perhaps next year I can lock them all up at my house so they don't become obnoxious Halloween teenagers. I'll even offer them all a pillowcase full of candy if they'll just stay home with me :) :)

Kaden's was my favorite costume this year, but you'd have to live in our little city to fully appreciate it. He was a road construction worker with a "slow" road sign attached to his back. Springville roads have been a MESS since early Spring. Everyone laughed at, and fully appreciated Kaden's costume. He was a hit! I love that Kaden is always willing to do just about anything. He's a good boy.

Sometimes in the morning when the kids are all gone to school and I need a photography subject to check something on my camera, Dax complies...

wordless wednesday (for tomorrow)

provo craft imagine

Today has been the launch of the amazing new machine by Provo Craft - the IMAGINE and so I think it's now legal to post pictures of some of the artwork I've created with it!

 

 

The Imagine is a new and improved version - deluxe of the Cricut. It prints AND cuts the image. It's really an incredible little machine! It's being launched today on www.hsn.com. How exciting!!

my baby...

My baby started KINDERGARTEN

(Sniff*Sniff)

(and hooray!)

When I picked him up he gave me a great big hug and said, "I don't want to go home and go to sleep tonight. I just want to stay at school!" (Good sign!)

His teacher knew just how to make him happy his first day. On his table, at his spot, was BLACK PLAY DOUGH!! Life doesn't get any better than that!

He also said, "Mom, if you were in Kindergarten and you had Mrs. Morgan, you would LOVE her!"

I totally agree.

cute little photo clients

These adorable kiddos are over on my photoblog if you want to check them out... 

the photography business is booming!! 

(Anyone want a sitting??)

 

And I'm in the process of editing my very first engagement shoot! Woohoo!

artwork!

I've had the privilege of designing some items for Provo Craft, using the Cricut. I've designed a whole lot of fun projects lately, but I can only post a few of the ones that have been released. The rest will just have to wait...
