All That Is Good~

In my world right this minute.

A girly-girl in sweet little Batman pajamas. Wouldn’t Uncle Bald Kid be proud?

The first newlyweds are finally back from Texas, and they say Utah’s 103 degrees isn’t very hot.  Feels hot to me.

Low imagination level cupcake decorating that surprisingly tasted very, very good.

A bunch of cute kids that are brave enough…

to dance their hearts out in a very crowded park.

Discovering that Incredible Fruit Pizza can indeed be made with whole wheat cookie crust. More on that later. It was wonderful and now considered a health food. HAA!

A little dude that actually fell asleep on the floor…unprompted. Woohooo!

Isn’t summer the best? Tell me–

what’s good in your world today?  :}

Covert Ops Photography

Yes, yes, I know. I went out of order here. The wedding typically comes AFTER the Bridals. But I actually forgot that I took these sneaky pictures–and it does seem a shame to waste them. Forgive me.

We went out to the shores of Utah Lake and the park nearby.

Even after living here for a million years, I had no idea this place was so pretty.

Or maybe it was just that girl there…

waving at her mama. Yeah, it could be that.

Kinda fun for me–watching the camera people do their thing–while I got to sit in the car…

snapping the occasional covert shot of my own, here and there.

At one point, the camera guy said, ” We should have you walk around or something, because we have a lot of kissing shots.”

HAaaaa! Honestly, what did he expect Beauty and Charming to do a week before their wedding?

Silly camera guy.

Mother’s Day Getaway~ Preview

I’m excited to show you every little detail of our Mother’s Day getaway but I have a stack of Bridal Shower invitations to address–that, alas–won’t wait. So this little teaser snippet will have to do–for now. I should have the photos sorted by Monday…hee hee.

Oh. My. Goodness. We had so much fun!

Things That Make Me Smile

That big bright Super-moon that we saw ultra-up-close the other night. We stood out on the deck and stared at it for 20 minutes–just so we could say we did it.

The very first lilac rose of the year–pretty little shy thing. I almost didn’t see it all hidden away in the back there.

The garden all tilled and ready to plant–later this week…I hope. It’s an odd thing to have both my boys gone now. I keep waiting for my “garden army” to show up and get it all planted…but alas. I may just be on my own this time around. Even so, there’s something so full of promise about a garden ready to plant.

He-man…fast asleep…wherever I am…again…

with his sister She-ra Princess of Power. Or so they think.

That funny little plant that the Bald Kid named “Pandora” before he left. You may recall that it actually died once and came back to life unexpectedly. Crazy cool thing.

A well placed stained glass birdy of some sort, shining and catching the light in my window. Finch, I think.

A brave little strawberry that’s just barely poking it’s head out. Hide all you like–Miss Chompy will find you. :}

A new project that will eventually entertain the little, soon-to-be-grabbing fingers that we have around here.

The sleepy bit of pixie dust that is ours to hold and bounce and pat and kiss…as long as he’ll let us. Hopefully that’s a long, long time.

What makes you smile on this lovely Wednesday?
