my gems!!





I had the opportunity to have the extremely talented Angie Monson from Simplicity Photography take my girls photos. It was supposed to be just Bella, but took some of Olea too which I am super happy with! I love all of them but especially the one of them both!

Quiet time creations

Olea has taken a liking to painting lately! every afternoon she wants to paint with Bella! I just remembered while writing this post that I need to get some more paper, because we are almost out, and that could be bad!

Ben's beard chart

This is quite old, 2 years I think, but it cracks me up every time Ben gets a visit from one of his "bearded friends/models"! They really are great guys! one of these days I need to get a photo of him with all of them! this is part of an episode from "This American Life" called "God's Close up" that aired on ShowTime.

Megan looked so beautiful, I couldn't stop taking photos of her as you can see!

A day at Grandmas

Photobucket


We love going to Grandmas house, the kids can roam free on her big piece of property and play in the grass and in the old cars, jump on the trampoline, swing on the swing set, feed the cows, feed the goats, play in the fields, smell all of Grandmas new soaps and lotions, eat rhubarb crisp, and listen to Grandma and Grandpa tell stories!!

Sealed together





It was my absolute pleasure to take the photos for this beautiful family second round! They were sealed in the LDS temple to their beautiful adopted baby on Saturday, and they were glowing! They are completely meant for each other and so full of love for this darling little girl!

Happy Mothers Day!

"Every daughter contains her mother and all the woman who came before her. The unrealized dreams of our maternal ancestors are part of our heritage."

"She who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions deserves the admiration and the plaudits of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come,... long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have decayed or shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity..., she is co-partner with the Creator himself" President David O. McKay

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mothers in my life, I have been so blessed to have strong beautiful woman that have helped nurture and shape my existence, you give me so much to look forward to, and accomplish. You are my hero's in so many ways!
