*candy and chocolate, and smiles...oh my!!!

Oh Easter Holiday....how I love thee

what sweet candy, and joy you bring me :)

the easter bunny this year brought some

sweet sugary whatnots and some DVD's.

We then went over to Grandma Jeans in

later part of the afternoon

and had a wonderful easter feast and a

Easter Egg hunt.......

Owen was being such a goofball.....

he kept trying to kiss everyone all over the face

I love this picture of the 3 of them :)

Bailey Bug

I think the lighting is just fabulous

and the wind blown hair look is awesome

You know how I luv the back lit shots :)





So happy to have finally found an egg....

I have been wanting to take a picture with

the kiddos with this giant puddle in

Jeans driveway for awhile....

I think I like it!!

Spring Break Pictures... coming up soon.....

*Gloriousness of weddings*

So its been awhile since I've posted......not that I think anyone

really reads this blog anymore...... (except maybe my mom....and some

relatives...and maybe a few crazies.. :) and thats just peachy...

but if you are still reading-- here are some fantabulous pictures

of the beautiful Emily and her hubby and their darling kids on their wedding

day!!! Anywho, since I am way behind yet again... here are a few to share...

(By the way..the 1st picture is taken at the end of their wedding

extravegannza, what a cute family they are! feel the love ;)

Most of my favorite pictures are of them getting ready

at their families beautamous Park City home....

hehehehe, how can you not love this face??



Do you not love these jackets!!!

They (mom & daughter) hand made each of these delicious

gourmet cupcakes., each with there own unique flavour

....... wowzers!!

By the time we got to take pics

of just the 2 of them, it was snowing and

it was freezing!! but oh how I love this picture

oh so lovely with some moodiness.....

Thanks for letting me be apart of

your joyous day together......

It was amazing!

*Awwhhhhh the Memories*

So anywho, it was my birthday on Sunday,

the Big

28

I had been celebrating it since Friday!! ( yeah, thats right!) Anyways, I was thinking about all the knowledge I've accumulated since a wee baby and I'd thought I'd share 28 random things about myself.......

but first............ some pictures

So.... I think I started off as a pretty cute kid..... I know most kids go through the....big teeth era, the "what was the matter with my hair" look, and of course the very special clothing matter.

This picture was taken when I was 7- going into 2nd grade. I thought I'd post this one since Bailey will be going into 2 grade this year.....anywho, not too shabby.... the bang action looks pretty spiffy (especially with the cute butterfly clip... which I totally remember :) Anywho, feeling pretty good......

UNTIL.............................

This fabulous picture....

Am I not the cutest little 5th grader around!!!!

Seriously what happened to my hair.

Its like a flowbee gone seriously wrong- I do admit I had a thing for the perms......but I can't recall why my hair ended up like this. (Mom, if you read this, do you remember?) Anywho, besides the fluff monkey that apparently died on my head.... there is the lovely vest & broach detail. Now I'm not totally knocking my 5th grade self... because I do love my earrings......which I think I may still have them somewhere................... anyways......moving on...

My Senior pictures.... not to shabby.....

This year I dyed my hair blond (which went partially orange) but still not to shabby. Maybe my roots could have used a touch up.... but hey......I've come along way in the hair department :)

Anyways, I have so many pictures I could share...

and maybe I will.....oneday.............

and you would think I would share an updated photo

but alas...........that will have to wait.......................

28 random things about myself:

(in no particular order)

1. I love cold stone icecream......cake batter with yellow cake mixed in...........

try it.... it will change your life (like at least 5 pounds good)

2. Exercise.......... especially when I seem to have no self control with food...........

it makes me feel so buff and confident

3. I have to have a water bottle on my nightstand every night.....I hate waking up with a dry

mouth and no water to quench the thirst....and so the water bottle is my friend

4. I have always enjoyed a good book, even when I was younger, but now moments of quiet

free time are few and so I read so darn fast, I don't remember what I've read the next day..

5. I like doing Laundry and Vacuuming (even though when you come over to my house

you'd believe the opposite)

6. I have learned to be alot more patient.........when I was younger I had a bit of a temper....

like the time I threw a butter knife at my brother David.......which I don't recall the reason..

but I'm totally sure he deserved it!

(mom, if your reading this, you totally know I'm joking) and David you know it was out of love

7. I'm pretty good at trying new recipes, I'm not the greatest cook but I do try

(Spaghetti Tuesday is really catching on.......)

8. I can't wear earrings anymore.... I get these nasty infections in my ears.....eewww

It makes me so sad, I had these really cool bunji jumper ones when I was younger

(they had a little guy on the end of what looked like a jumper cord......

ok, maybe slightley dorkey...... but I was into crazy earrings like that)

9. I love all things crafty....but I start more projects then I finish.....

10. I really like the smell of wet cement ( i know, i know...its a bit weird)

11. I love playing games with my family- especially our all night Canasta nights

12. I love my kids laughter... it makes me laugh every time

13. I have loved living in Kaysville..... it would be hard to move out of it.....

15. Some of my favorite memories have been with my friends.....

especially the late night crazy adventures....and of course talking & laughing

16. I love the sound of bagpipes.....I would listen to the Braveheart CD over & over

when I was younger........ahhh memories

17. I love taking that "perfect" picture.....the one you know will turn out special and unique

to whomever your taking it for.

18. I'm pretty willing to try any food once

19. I wish I was more organized, even though I like orgainzing other peoples things

20. I love the way music can touch every emotion you have....its one of my favorite things!!

21. Don't tell my hubby.....but I secretly love that he loves cars and owns a fast one.....and that

he knows how to fix almost everything on them. He's quite handy :)

22. The song "Families can be together forever" makes me tear up every time. Its one of my

favorite songs of all time.

23. If my closet could be filled with mostly shoes....i'd be happy :)

24. T.M.I. ----- I have to always have something to read when I go to the bathroom

25. I am a worrier....I get that from my mother

26. I have the most vivid dreams.........I've woke up laughing, crying, mad, happy, ect

27. Two of my favorite movies of all time is "while you were sleeping" & "Ever After"

28. My family is everything to me. I couldn't have been placed in a better family.

And of course my own little family.......what would I do without you ;)

So there you have it......

Thanks to everyone who has made my life better

You know I love ya ;)

*A wee little Owey*

Bath time is quite an adventure at our house

(especially when it hasn't happened in a while....

I won't tell you how long because....well....

its wrong on so many levels ;) hahahaha)

Anywho, little Owies usually will get only one toy

and play with it the entire time

(Bailey is a different story all together.... she coordinates

every barbie and accesory to go into her tub time :)

Anywho, Owies chose the top of his bubble

bath lid which happened to be Superman!

Imagine him saying bmmmmmmmmm

with great enthusiasm.

(and how can you not love those

big ol puckered lips ;)

*A belated Valentiney goodness*

So we attempted some "cool" hair for Bailey on Valentines

We got the idea from She Does Hair

the heart shape didn't quite turn out how we expected

but cute nonetheless :)

I'm seriously at a loss half the time when I do my kids hair

so this site helps me feel like I don't send my kids off

with "trashy" hair all the time ;)

And I made these cute little bag toppers in

photoshop for Bailey's class :).

The papers & elements came from the

kit "Yours Truly" from Shabby Princess

I did a 4x6 and then folded it in half over the bag..

stapled it....and voila a fun treat bag!

*F fam*

So I love when clients come up with there own

place for pictures (not that I don't mind finding one,

it just makes it unique for each family :) We took them at a park

and an old barn....love the old barns :)

I did there sweet little baby girl's

pictures awhile back, so it makes it fun to see

how much she's grown! Anywho, here are a couple to share.....

just a few for now....

thanks again :)
