During my last few days in Utah last weekend, I had the chance to revisit an old favorite place. After a nice lunch next to a soothing mountain stream, I took a walk around with my camera. I could picture the similar walks around Sundance that I took years ago with CandyMan, when we were…

Back to School 2012 – Wordless Wednesday #Linky
I hardly made it home before the kids started this new school year, and after just two days back to school, it hardly feels real. Heck, I barely unpacked from all of my trips today…. Despite my absence this past month, the kids were ready (both physically and emotionally) to go back to school. And…
Newborn Photo Shoot with Big Sister

Hello Provo! #PSF Give Me Your Best Shot
I am guilty this week of not taking any pictures with my real camera (except for the one I posted for Wordless Wednesday, of course). Thank goodness for Instagram! This week I’ve spent approximately 8 hours a day in class. I’ve had lunch every day with my mom and sister. I’ve listened to three amazing…
