Anika

We were blessed to be able to attend my niece Anika's baptism today.  We are so proud of what a wonderful young lady she is!

 Here is the bracelet I made for her for the occasion.

Another Secret Spot

She found another little Rachael spot. I won't be teaching her how to read silently to her herself anytime soon - right now reading aloud is the easiest way to find her!

Color

Love the way the morning sky looks like it was painted with watercolors.

Outtakes

I usually get a few "outtake" pictures when we do photo sessions.  This was a fun one.

I also got a bouquet of dandelions!

Marzipan Cherry

Finally figured out how to make the perfect cherry for the top of a cupcake... out of marzipan!

New Skills

Guess who is big enough to push the vacuum??

Budding Engineer

Spent the morning losing my marbles with another one of my favorite engineers-in-training, Blake.

Sidewalk Chalk

Chicken Pot Pie

Still loving the pie maker!!

Zoku Pop Maker

We had lots of fun with this all summer.

Sweet Baby

Fun to take pictures of baby Jaron!

Food Pictures

I'm working on an updated family cookbook, which is giving me an excuse not only to photograph more treats but to make them too.  Yummy!

Roots

Carrots from our garden. They are close friends!

Pizza Pie

More fun with the mini pie maker!

Roses

craigstlist

I'm cleaning out the basement and selling some items on craigslist.  I'm kind of glad I have to take a picture to post with the listing... that way I have a record of what we used to have in the basement, with out having to hold on to anything!

Cherry Pie

More fun with the pie maker!

Sweet Girl

The jewelry that my sweet girl picked out just for me.
