Mother/Daughter Photo Shoot

Remember when I won a photo shoot from Treasure Layne Photography? A few weeks ago Maren and I were finally able to work out our schedules with Kari and here are the wonderful results. She did a great job and I think we look pretty darn good. Well, Maren looks downright gorgeous, but that's not a surprise, is it?












I love this one--it looks like I'm saying something like "I can't believe you just did that!" and Maren is replying something like "Well, yeah, what did you think I was going to do?"

Prom 2011

Some Random Thoughts

I've been away from the blogging world for awhile...guess it's been nearly a month since I posted anything. So a few random thoughts from the past few weeks:

"Is he human? Check his pulse!" shouted by the basketball commentator about Jimmer Fredette's awesome first half in the BYU-New Mexico MWC championship semi-finals. Yes, I love Jimmer (and as a side note, his hair is just like Aubrey's--dark, thick and kinda curly). If only I was 25 years younger...

Read Nora Ephron's I Feel Bad About My Neck and Other Thoughts on Being a Woman. The chapter on purses made me laugh out loud!! But, I did buy a new purse yesterday--kind of out of the box for me, or maybe not so much...
Just got to record this one so my aging brain can remember in years to come--Carson's signature farewell "Toodles."

Buying a headstone is kind of a surreal experience. Wonder how it's going to feel when it's in place?

Tender mercies come in so many ways...and nearly every day.

It's hard to be a teenager, and hard to be the parent of a teenager. That being said, I LOVE my teenagers! They are great kids with awesomeness (is that a word?) all through them.

It's hard to be a missionary, but lots easier to be the parent of a missionary (at least for me). I LOVE my missionary! He's awesome too. (And I love the missionaries/returned missionaries from my extended families too.)

Despite the changeable weather and the difficulty of dressing for said weather, Spring can be a wonderful time of year.
