Newborns--too precious

As many of you know, I love taking pictures. My favorite is taking capturing newborns in their first couple of weeks. They are so precious. I've been blessed to have a few friends let me take pictures of their newborns for them, but I always forget to ask if I can show off some of the pictures on my blog. I remembered to ask this time! Isn't she sweet? I love all of her hair. She's just 8 days old.

Has it really been 5 years?

Matthew turned 5 while on our trip to Alaska. He's getting so grown up on us. Doesn't he even look older in this picture? Maybe it's because he was all dressed up for dinner. Happy Birthday Matthew! He especially thought he was cool because he got a birthday card from the captain.

So long friends

It's official. We sold our Sea Doos...they are gone...our RV pad looks so lonely. I have complete mixed feelings about it because they've been so fun, but we both knew that it was time to sell them. We have so many great memories at the lake from the time we were dating up until now. So, now on to new memories and some 4 wheelers instead. Those being just as fun, no swimsuit required, and a longer season to use them. :)

This is the place

My mom and I took the kids to This is the Place. The kids favorite were definitely the horse rides. They each ended up going 4 times and had huge smiles on their faces the whole time. They also liked the painting and LOVED the little play houses. Ah..and there is nothing better than ending a hot morning with a popsicle.

Free Chocolate

So, I've been meaning to this link for awhile. Just fill out your info each Friday morning and they'll send you a coupon for free chocolate; you have to be one of the first 250,000 people to request it. Hmmmm.. chocolate is my fav.

Lagoon - It IS what fun is

My work had their Lagoon day last week. I always look forward to going so I can see the people I work with since I only see them about 2 times a year. When we got there it started POURING. Matthew freaked out that we didn't have his rain jacket. But, once we got to the bumper cars, he was all smiles and seems to forget about the rain and being wet. We had lots of fun and I'd take the rain over being sweaty and hot any day. It was actually kind of nice because the lines weren't very long.

Merry Marysvale

We went to Marysvale, UT this past weekend with a couple of Dave's brothers and their families. It was tons of fun and really pretty. Thanks guys for letting us mooch!
