Twilight Fun


You are thoughtful and care very deeply for your family. A loving home is of great importance to you and you always try to make people feel welcome. Although you have a great capacity to love, you also have a great capacity to hurt, so at times you can be sensitive. You're firm when you need to be, but people trust your judgment and appreciate the kind way you always handle things.
Take the quiz..

Behind The Scenes

I have always said that the best place to be around a camera is behind it!
That is exactly where I have been the past month. Behind my new Nikon!
I have also been reading photography books, photoshop books and taking a photography class.
Now to find the balance between my adored hobby, scrapbooking, family, husband, church callings and work. Any ideas?? :0) Ugg..I forgot one. House work. :0(
Here are a few of my favorite shots from this month......







What a treat to be able to capture
moments that will last a lifetime and
remind us that there are many things
to be thankful for this holiday season.

I Love to see the Temple

With Makenna just turning twelve..I had planned an afternoon for the kids and I to do
baptisms for the dead. We were all excited and I was thrilled to share this first time experience with Makenna.
They got out of school just a little early and we arrived at the temple in time for a quick photo (or two).
What a wonderful experience to share my favorite place on earth with them. We went to the cafeteria after for some pie and talked about thier experience.
As we were walking out- both asked when we could come again. We have made it a goal to come each month until the end of the year and hopefully continue into next year.
I am so thankful for a place where you can feel such peace and be close to the spirit. We talked about how lucky we are to have a temple so close that we can spend an afternoon there where many people travel hours or days. I hope we never take that for granted.

29 again.......

Yes..it's true...one more year left in my 30's. Not sure exactly how I feel about it
but..my family made sure I had a great day!
The kids made breakfast - and gave me

this great game and we played as a family.

Guess who won?? ha ha
I also got my new most fabulous toy ever..my new
Nikon camera and lens. I am not a very patient learner
but I played around with it a little today.
Here are some pics...
Matt and Kenna
and my friend Andrea's youngest son
was a great sport for me today!



I love love taking pictures and hopefully
I can use this camera to it's fullest awesome
abilities!!!
