I took this today while Ezra’s class was eating lunch. It has been awhile since I have been able to capture this boy without the crazy faces. Don’t worry, I have plenty of those to go along with this one. It’ll make a great series for a wall in our new place.
When I see this image I think “How could I ever get angry with this beautiful boy?” Ha! Only when he won’t stop whining, which is his favorite form of communication these days. Ugh. I get so frustrated with this one. It makes me wonder if our personalities are too similar. I find myself going back and forth with him like I’m 6. Then I’ve gotta snap out of it, or Zach comes in to break it up. Oh my. But when I see this image I can’t imagine ever getting mad.

How did it happen that my little squishy baby girl is now 10?! She has grown into such a beautiful, unique young woman. I only hope that each day she will be lifted by those around her and have the the courage to be her kind, loving self. I have high hopes that she will find her niche in our new neighborhood, ward and school.

Um, not me apparently. Here’s an image from today’s shoot. Cool, modern home off 6th Street in Denver.

Meat slicer, anyone?

Ok, so I’m totally insane. Yes, I know… you already knew that. Just in case you are an unbeliever, I have lots of proof. First, I threw a huge birthday party for Ezra the Little Ninja. He loves that video game and wanted a ninja themed party for his 6th. So I did just about everything… thanks Pinterest for all the great ideas… we have a love-hate relationship, Pinterest and I. Zach came home from a week long business trip and asked what idea I didn’t use. Ha!! Here’s one image, showing the house. I’ll have to post the other shots once I get my head on straight… get over the crazy.

The next crazy thing I got caught up in is Valentines Day cards. Well, I am always drawn to a few things when it comes to cards:
cool design
paper
anything 3 dimensional
That’s why I had to do this:

Again, found on Pinterest… I think. It’s all a blur.
enjoy!
