Before&after

Do you like looking at before and after photos? I do. Especially make-over before and afters. I love seeing a plain looking person turn into a new gorgeous person. I wish I had a before and after picture of me going from "frumpy mom" to "hawt mom", but I don't-because it hasn't happened, so here is a picture of my kitchen and what it looked like yesterday morning and what it looked like yesterday afternoon. Not a huge change, no new cabinets and counter tops or anything, but it does look different. Sometimes I take pictures of things before I work on them so I can see the difference when I am done. Corny I know, but it works for me, so I thought I would share.

GLooooRIA

I had to take my camera to church last Sunday for a project that I am working on for the bishop(i don't usually take my camera to church) and I loved this moment so much I just had to take a picture of it. I held the camera way down low and tried to be as sneaky as I could. I wasn't sure how fellow worshipers would feel about me taking pictures during a sacred service. shhhh-don't tell anyone.

tree wonder


Meadow has been fascinated with the tree. Her favorite place to be right now is under the lights.

turkey day



Even 6 month old babies should get a piece of the pie of Thanksgiving (or in this case a piece of the turkey).

4 months


I took these pictures on Meadows 4 month birthday and never posted them. what can I say, i have been a slacker.

Hallows parade

Did you ever have costume parades when you were in Elementary school? My school always had one. The parade would start with Kindergarten and they would go through a class room and then that class would join onto the end of the line and then the next class room we went through that class would join on the end of the train and it would keep going until we had gone through every grade and class room. When we circled back around to our own classroom we would sit down and watch the costume parade snake it's way back through the school until everyone returned back to their own classroom. Does that make any sense? It was nice though because parents could stay in their child's classroom and see the whole parade.

This was Peanuts first year being in school during Halloween, all of the other years she has been off track, so she was able to participate in her first costume parade. Her school has police block off a street for a few blocks and all of the parents surround the streets and watch from the curb. For sure a lot less confusing that how my school did it, but it was a lot more COLD.
Here they come, marching down the street.
Do you see Peanut? She is in the green coat. She is looking for me.
She spotted me. Here she is waving hello.

Here she is again, still waving.

woops, now she is passing me.......still waving.
She is Dorothy, just in case you couldn't tell :)
