An Evening Engagement

Image 1 of 1,000,000. Wow, we had fun catching beautiful, romantic images for Amber and Bryce's second engagement shoot.

Graduating Sisters

The wind blew just right, the cloud cover was just right, not too cold, not too hot - it was time for a photo shoot! Kelli and Cami, it was so fun! We made a great threesome. Your ideas were great, and how could we not help get these great images?

Weeds! They were so fun.

Happy Graduation.

Our Big Kid's News

Here's an update on our big kids. We visited Anna and Kyle in Cedar City and found out that they are having a BOY! Oh, Boy, they're excited, we're excited.
Competitive Kyle not to be out done if he can help it. Darn good imitation.

Ready for a Saturday of aerating lawns. This guy knows how to work, love 'im for it.

Neil is serving a mission in Brazil. Here are a few of his happenings. He's been gone 10 months and 8 days.

Love our big kids. How did they grow up so fast? How does that happen? Just can't get enough of them. sniff,

Portrait of a Lab

Kind, gentle, fun, doggie handsome, and non-barking Regie - Anna and Big Kyle's lab - our favorite canine in the world.

Spring Cleaning

It's time for a little Spring Cleaning and maintenance around here. We started with the horses. The dreaded, dreadful, dreadlocks. This is even after I had worked on her for a small eternity. Every Spring it's like this. Polly was very patient and gave me a horsey thank you afterwards. Then she and Little Joe found the closest mud and rolled. So much for 'Thank you'! Pampered, stabled, delicate, parlor-mannered equine they aint, errr aren't.
A manicure (and pedicure) badly needed. . . .

. . . . And here's the man to do it.
First Spring Ride. I've not saddled my own pony since we were married. My gentleman cowboy, Jay, always does it for me. THAT's why I married him for sure. OKAY, AND I like his boots and hat and wranglers.

An emery board will not do.

Check out that rapid head movement! Life must be a blur to a hen.

Interesting creatures are chickens. Such beautiful plumage and fluffiness - but then there are their legs and faces that just don't seem to belong to the same animal.

Spring Blues

The twin's school just got new playground equipment, errr toys, uhhh, tools. After days of snow, sleet, hail, rain, mud etc, I couldn't resist the blue blues coming through the lens, begging to be captured forever as back drop for some handsome, toothy grins. I love being mom to these rowdy 7-yr olds.


Our dentist keeps telling us to save up. Now why would he say a thing like that?

This is the only image of our Easter egg hunt. The last, lone, choclate egg to be found. Anna and I actually had to play the 'you're getting hotter/colder' game or this one would still be gracing the chimney, untouched, uneaten, unloved.

A cheep thrill. Tie a sack on the end of a long rope, turn it round and round to jump (or get knocked over, which may be even more fun). This can keep a 7 yr old screaming with laughter for a long, long, long time, many, many hours and hours . . . Warning: extreme dizziness may occur for the center person. And potty breaks are critical - this much laughing can weaken even the most determined 'big' boy.

New archer, Kyle, demonstrates new technique.

Mark shows the results of his kill, I mean skill.
