Fireworks!

Family Barbecue, trampoline, scrabble & fireworks! 

Happy 4th!

I took a little visit to the ole Colonial Village in Orem! 

There was a potter, chandler (candle maker), blacksmith, baker, dressmaker, whittler, 

and Benjamin Franklin too! (he's the one writing calligraphy - go figure!) 

And the bread I bought from the baker was so delicious!

I've been working on a new project! It is a week by week 

scrapbook/journal. I was inspired by a blog I came 

across a little while ago. 

I'm very excited about working on it each week!

Today's picture was difficult to choose. Andrew & I went camping and the 

environment provided such a great canvas for beautiful pictures.

Dedication

As I begin my journey in photography I am dedicating myself to take at least one photo a day. 

My inspiration came from many. Including Cate's beautiful blog of her 365 Days of Pictures.

And here is my first:

Hello, you!

In celebration of Valentine's Day, our Anniversary, my Birthday & Christmas, 

Andrew bought me a beautiful Nikon D5100 DSLR camera! 

It is the most lovely camera I've ever seen! 

I cannot wait to take some photography classes. 

I am still very much an amateur, but I'm excited to learn much more! 

I suppose it is all my mom's "fault" for my constant picture taking. She was always the embarrassing mom who had to take multiple pictures at the birthday parties, recitals, plays, etc. 

And I am now, of course, grateful for every single picture! 

*It looks pretty great in my hands, if I do say so myself!*

Andrew's 27th!

Andrew turned 27 this year! For his birthday I made a Chocolate Sheath Cake with a Maple Buttercream Frosting. And, not to brag, but it was especially delicious! 

*Also I made the stencil for the cake with my lovely new Silhouette machine!* 

Happy Birthday, dear!

Lincoln's new song

                                                                    Sound familiar?

Hey Jude, You're One!

In celebration of Jude's 1st birthday, there was a Rockin' 1960's party! 

Nobody told Jude that he was supposed to "blow" the candle out, 

not smother it with his little fingers! Poor sweetie.

I think I can safely say we ALL had a "smashing time!"
