Dinner Entertainment

Dining with a 6 year old.  So fun.  :)  She got to choose her back to school dinner and the choice was…PIZZA. 

And then she said, “When I grow up I want to work at McDonald’s!”

Bwahahahahaha…who doesn’t?  ;)

Home Again

Home again and happy to be home.  Back from a quick trip to go to a friend’s funeral in Spokane.  Life is way too short.  Sending our love and prayers to their family. 

Again, so good to be home, especially with these crazy two kids.  Hopes for a good week. 

Song worth listening to today: Sweet Disposition - The Temper Trap  (link below)

Animal Lovers Unite & Song of the Day

Some dogs just seem to bring out the best in people.  Don’t you think?  And the specialness in people?  :)

This post is in honor of my sister Sarah 1.) Because she loves dogs 2.) Because she supplies me with all my good music.  Anything I listen to has basically been recommended to me by Sarah.

I’d be lost without her.  I must share these songs with you.

Song of the day is Stateless - Bloodstream.

It’s mellow, but it’s oh so good, and you can listen to it below.  I highly recommend it.

P.S.  Sarah, you are funny…and special.

Summer

Dear Uncle Nate in New York,

Summer in Montana has been good…

It’s been full of cute freckled kids and dogs

that want our lollipops.

I am now 6 months pregnant and

another boy is on the way.

We need help with names.

Please come and see us in Montana.

Love your buns!

Edward Cullen’s House

Edward Cullen’s house is for sale. I really love that house. I considered buying it… but I’ll have to wait until next time.

Thoughts on LOVE by Natalie Norton

I loved what Natalie (who just lost her baby boy) had do say in a blog post on The Coterie Blog, especially this:

Truth be told?

  • My house is a mess.
  • My kids? Well, they definitely need a bath.
  • If you come to my house, NEVER open a drawer, and enter the bathroom at your own risk.
  • My kids pee in parking lots and hit strangers kids at the park.
  • I don’t know anything about most things and know very little about everything else.
  • I don’t DO any of the things I’m about to share with you all.the.time. I WISH I did. Oh, how I wish I did.
  • At the end of the day, you just do the best you can, then hit the hay, roll out of bed, and start all over again tomorrow.
Alllllllll that said,
here are some tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years
to keeping the love ALIVE in a house full of crazy.
(oh, and one thing I DO know a lot about? A house full of crazy!)

ultimately, it all boils down to this:

Love YOURSELF
and there will always be an abundance of love left
for everyone else
The full post can be read here.  Worth the read.

Just Want You to Know..

that this is what I look like every day.  High heels and all.  Ok, really I’m a bum, but I’m trying to not be a bum.  It’s a work in progress.

  Last month a couple photographers in town got together and we decided to do some photographing of each other.  I was paired with the fabulous Ginny Emery.  It was fun, it was hard…I can’t model very well, and overall we got to see what we put you all through.  T’was a great experience.   

And on another note, check out a bit of my latest work here .   So sweet!
