A Star is Born

Welcome to the world and to our family baby!!! My sister had her baby! He is by far the biggest star in our family. We all have our cameras out to capture this cute kid we love so much.

Christmas In the Waves

I came home from Provo UT with the icy pathways and snow-filled boots to this. 80 degrees in the sun. The water was even warmer than most summer days. Still chilly, but bearable without a wetsuit! Holy cow, if there was ever a time when the sun has blessed me it'd be now. Thank you for your timing. It's been impeccable. How I love the sun. Thanks for filling my december days.

Merry Christmas!

Out and Abou

 Within the first few days the adventures started. Looking at these pictures now make me a little sad, because the homework has begun to pile up, and the clouds seem to be anticipating piling up the snow too. But this was probably one of the greatest days of life though. We had a BALL. Slept it. Woke up went boating. Football Game. All the while listening to country music...if you were wondering..because yes. that makes a HUGE difference. I sure have come to love these girls and am grateful for their friendship. All adventures have their season. I look forward to falls! ...okay i guess utah kind of skips fall...it snowed today..lets pray winter is slow in coming.

Splish Splash Im Taking a Bath

^^^ya. its pooping. hahahha

Before I came back out to BYU for the fall, My family and i went to this darling little beach to have a loverly picnic of roast beef sandwiches and bananas, with, of course,  assorted chips from trader joes. I loved it...to say the very simplest phrase. There is something about the beach that has become healing, or soothing to my soul. I feel so blessed to live so close to it. I can't believe we've lived in HB for over 5 years now! It surely has become home. and that is a wonderful feeling.
