A taste of what's to come...

This is for my mom, and the lovely couple!
Thanks to Dayna for giving me great tips and showing me this amazing place!

Can't handle it!

Can you even handle this cuteness?

I love Spring!

I love spring!I love the colors you see everywhere and the feeling of warm sun on your face. Here are some of my favorite pictures I've taken of some of the cool things I've seen so far.



This last one is of a tree I passed almost everyday. I never really noticed it until the blooms came out. The blossoms looked like they were almost too heavy for the tree. Luckily I had my camera and grabbed a picture of it.
Spring is easily my favorite time of the year!

Can you guess?

What could possibly have Boston so captivated that he stands at the window for an hour?





Why, Dad and Uncle Hayden WORKING ON THE BACKYARD!!!!





That's right, we're working on putting in a yard! I'm beyond excited! (And when I say "WE" I really mean Chris and his brother. I'm providing moral support, direction and cold water from inside with Boston.) :)

This baby....






is ONE YEAR OLD today!!!

Happy Birthday Stoney-man!!

I'M DONE!!!!

I'm done!!! I can't begin to tell you how ready I am for the summer. I really need a break and time to be with my family and just not think about school
I wanted to post a digital movie that I made with a couple girls from my class for our final in Science methods. We took a field trip to Capitol Reef and it was amazing!! The ranger there taught us so much! He also read us a letter from Chief Seattle to President George Washington regarding the sale of the Native American's land. We love it so much that we used that letter as the message in our video. It's a little over 4 minutes long, so you don't have to watch it, but we are pretty proud of the pictures we took and how it turned out so I thought I'd share it with you!! If you get a chance to go to Capitol Reef it's amazing and you should go!

Isaac and Owen

These cute boys were my test subjects, and aren't they so stinkin' cute? My friend Mandi let me practice baby pictures with her twins. I learned so much about taking baby pictures but it was super fun! They are so cute and little they make Boston look like Godzilla!!

Fun at the park

We decided to take advantage of the nice weather (and my finished homework) and go play at the park. Days like this make me so excited for this summer when I can just be a Mom and play with my little boy!


This is Boston's new pose. Most of the time he does it while waiting for me to throw him his ball. I'm so glad I caught it on camera because it cracks me up every time he does it!


Is there anything cuter than this smile? It seriously makes my day!


Patty-cake is his new favorite thing to play. All you have to say is "Patty-cake, Patty-cake" and he'll start clapping his hands and smiling. His favorite part is mark it with a B.


I love my little guy!

School is winding down. Field was horrible. The kids were fantastic, and my partner was fantastic so does that tell you anything? I'm debating posting the ranting post I almost published while in the class, but just saved it as a draft. Regardless, I'm almost down to two semesters left!! I can't wait! This summer I plan on learning about photography as much as possible.

PS. If any of you are looking for a book to read I just finished White Like Me by Tim Wise. This book really made an impact on me. It's all about white privilege, which I didn't know existed, and really opened my eyes. I hope you all read it. :)

What if...

What if I were an ice cream sundae?
Would I be vanilla or something more daring?
I would definitely have hot fudge
And caramel is a MUST.
Nuts? It depends on the day.
My whipped cream would be perfectly set (yeah right)
No cherry, only strawberries please.

What if YOU were an ice cream sundae?

Sick of being Sick

Being sick blows. Being sick and being a mom blows. Being sick while being a mom, a wife, a student, and having to finish out the week as a teacher really blows.

Just in case any of you were wondering, I wouldn't recommend pairing those all together at once.

Going on day 6.


On the bright side I did get new contacts and I can finally SEE again. It's heavenly!
