Last post here, according to my dashboard, was March 27th, 2009. We have moved twice since then. To California and then to Minnesota. Sold a house, rented a town home, lived with my dad and finally b...
I submitted a picture to I Heart Faces for their "Fix-It Friday" series. I was surprised to see my beautiful Ella up on their site today! It is so fun to see how so many people edited the shot. So...
I'm having one of those days which involves no liquor, but desperately NEEDS liquor. And it's only Monday. Pray for a short week.
I have been neglecting this site due to some extra energy trying to put together a photography portfolio. During this process, I have started another blog www.blacksalt.wordpress.comSl owly, but sur...
The kids had two half days to end their week, and then they are off on Monday and Tuesday. Luckily we've had playdates and birthday parties to fill in the gaps between playing make believe with thei...
Ella got her haircut again. She tries to grow it out, but it gets so messy and unruly that we always agree that the pain and anguish she claims to experience while combing it isn't worth it. I took...
My neighbors actually asked me to take their holiday family photo this year. I think they just wanted someone to push the button! :) This is a shot of one of the girls alone. Isn't her skin amazin...
My second attemptMy attempt at funkiness (is that a word?) If you want to see more normal pet pics, click on the button at the top.
As long as I can remember, it's been common knowledge that money isn't that important in a career - loving what you do is. Baloney. I think they both are important, but it doesn't always work out t...
A resolution, of sorts, that I made this 2009 was to spend more time on photography and learning how to "enhance" the photos I take through Photoshop. Easier said than done. After looking at all th...
It snowed last night and took away all the gray, brown icky snow.
We moved her from the midwest when she was two, but it's engrained. She is a Minnesota Viking's fan. (NFC Wildcard game tomorrow - Vikings vs. the Eagles)
Not only did I stay up till midnight, I didn't lay my head on the pillow until a little after 1 AM. A time of day/night I haven't seen since forever. Two families joined us, and all the kids got al...
These trees were given to me by my mom. In fact, all of the classy Christmas decorations I own were given to me by my mom.I will remember this year as "The Year of Many Firsts". The first year that...
Basie needs to be walked about four times a day. Somehow, this "family" pet has become my main responsibility as I do most of the walks. I don't really mind the midday walks - it's the crack of daw...
I have been in a terrible mood for a few days now - it really doesn't mix with the whole Christmas spirit thing. I wouldn't care, but I have kids - little kids who CANNOT wait till December 25th. T...
When we first moved to Utah, four years ago, we would make it a point to explore a new canyon or resort, each weekend that first summer. Sundance Resort quickly became our favorite spot. We love go...
The kids have started piano lessons this fall. They had their first recital last week. Harry played "Up on the Housetop" and Ella charmed us with "Jolly Old Saint Nicholas". When my mom was alive,...
I wore my "I Voted" sticker all day and felt very proud about it. I watched the results come in on "mute" during dinner and then "out loud" while the kids were getting ready for bed. Chris made a f...
Working on the house, and day-to-day kid activities have consumed us for the last few weeks. It took free tickets to get us on a family outing today. We were able to watch the Real Salt Lake (our p...
The kids have been off from school since Wednesday at 12:45. It's Monday and they're STILL home. We've made do by planning many play dates and I decided to fight boredom and throw a garage sale.I had...
So. I'm a dog owner. How the hell did that happen? I have never had a dog. Never. Growing up we had gerbils. They reproduced like crazy which was really good because they died all the time. My parent...
The kids are at such a fun age. They actually have great senses of humor and can understand (and sometimes even appreciate) my sarcasm. Today after school, we went shoe shopping. Ella has outgrown ev...
The weather had been unusually warm for early fall in Utah. Highs in the 80s through last week. During one of these warm afternoons last week, Harrison got bored and then got creative. He put on h...
The kids have discovered Webkinz. It's the current version of Beanie Babies with a twist - they're more expensive and they have some secret internet persona. Ella has two and Harrison has one - a l...
We drove down through Provo Canyon and the approach was amazing. The colors are just starting to turn.My two cherubs. Ella ready and willing to be photographed. Harrison, on the other hand, will d...
You know when you have so much to do, and limited time to do it in, that you always manage to get it done, and more. I have the opposite problem. I'm still unemployed which allows for some free tim...
I took this picture up in Park City where it isn't as hot as down here in the desert valley. The flowers seem brighter this time of year. Probably because they haven't been fried in 95 degree plus ...
