Crisis Averted

Preschool was a success today! No tears. (For either of us.)



And because as they say, every post is better pictures. Especially Beckett trying to say cheese through his binkie... gotta get rid of that thing!

Pre (Screaming) School

FIRST DAY OF PRESCHOOL

She seems excited, right? Got the new Hello Kitty backpack and packed it with pink school supplies, made her a special first day of school skirt.....

Looks are deceiving, she screamed bloody murder for 45 minutes once she got inside. I listened through a window in agony. But she survived and only told me how much she liked it when I picked her up and left out the dramatic part. I thought being in the same class as Eli and her best friend, Lucy, would help. Didn't. Let's hope Thursday is better.

My Tour De France Try Out Pictures.

I am sure they will want me to shoot the Tour De France next year, right?
This was the prologue for the Tour Of Utah.



Floyd Landis. He is only on here because he won the Tour, sort of.

Samber Junior!

New post over on Tonic Photography.

We Be Jam-in

The girls got together for a jam making party. We made three different kinds. It was really fun, to say the least. Every time I eat toast and pb&j's I will think of all the hands of love that helped make it.
I feel very strongly about relationships and friends. I believe that women need other women, especially moms. I believe in being the best friend you can for this reason, you can never have enough friends. Each person I am friends with, whomever it is, wherever they are, they bring something different and unique to the relationship and in turn to my life. I think we can learn a lot from other people and therefore the more people we are close to and get to know the more educated and more enriched our lives are.
Whether it be how to make jam, how to bring your self esteem back up, how to get mildew out of a towell, how to deal with a family member, how to balance our life, how to train for something, or how to maintain a marriage, we all learn from each other. So to devalue our friendships is a mistake.




















TA DA! Finished product.

High AboveThe Farm-Town

This was one day.. this summer, sometime :)

We went up Farmington canyon.. far. I would tell you all about it but it's really just the pictures that tell the story. I might caption a few though, so read on.






I don't know what riparian means. I am sure my brother will tell me in the comments though.










SPARTA JANE! She pulls this face anytime you say, "You wanna __fill in the blank___?" in a high pitched voice. Kim, you know what I am talking about.




The classic "little boy from behind looking at something" picture. But it's my little boy so it's different.

Easy E.

I am out the door to go to the pool with my gals (HOLLLAAA!!), but I saw this picture from my parent's house last night and had to share, if for nothing else but to give my brother something to smile at while he is computing and programming at work :)
