to have these little sunshiney faces in my life! This poor neglected blog....life has just been CRAZY busy this last year I guess. It's definately had its ups & downs....and in-betweens! But, I am still SOOOOOOO LUCKY!

I took this really great photography workshop from Pied Piper Photo this past weekend and learned bunches of fun stuff! Here is a photo of a darling newborn boy I took in the class and had fun playing with....now I just need volunteers to practice on!

Congrats to Krissy and Taylor on their new baby Julia! She was born yesterday, and is beautiful & healthy! So fun to have a new baby niece!

I can't believe it was actually warm enough today for the boys to play outside in the water! I'm actually loving it, just a little afraid of what's to come this summer! Oh well....at least you don't have to scrape sunshine off your windshield:)

Mitch and I planned Krissy's shower this past weekend. We did a pink and brown theme, and I had so much fun planning it! I hope she had a great time, she got lots of cute fun stuff! Can't wait to meet baby Julia!

I am becoming so bad at updating this blog! Oh well...I'll just try harder! For this year, I am doing the this. The basic concept is you take a picture a day, and by the end of the year, you have an entire album of moments! I love it so far...here's my first page:



And...I'm so excited about the Cardinals Superbowl game on Sunday, although it's bittersweet...I so wish my dad was here to see it! He has always been a fan since there arrival here, and we even had season tickets growing up. I hope he has a great seat for the game:)
I decided to make my family some t shirts to wear for the game out of old scraps:

What kids don't like visiting Santa? Mine! When we got to the mall, Jake said he didn't want to see Santa, but I coaxed him into going by offering to let them play in the play area afterwards, and he ended up having a fun conversation with the big man. And, Matt.....my easygoing guy, just freaked out, as soon as he was on Santa's lap....I can't believe Christmas is almost here!
