In this next picture, she turned to me with this pathetic expression and I said to her: “Foof, you look so sad.”  She looked right at me with a huge smile and exclaimed, “I KNOW!!!”  She knows she can work the camera and she loves it!

And then she was done…

With one last smile for the camera:

I love my little Foof!  When she is playing house, she will assign out the roles:  You be the Dad.  You be the Mom.  I’ll be the Honey.  Apparently, I call my kids “honey” a lot!

I just came across pictures from a session last fall that I never posted on the blog.  They are so beautiful, I just had to share.  It is funny how just looking at these pictures makes me excited for autumn.  I have been saying all along that I am just soaking in the beautiful summer weather and that I just can’t get enough of it.  But, it is so fun to live in a place where we really enjoy 4 true seasons.  Each season offers so much to look forward to.  Today, I am thinking about pumpkin spice cookies, hot apple cider, clam chowder & chili after a full night of trick-or-treating, searching for the perfect pumpkin at the local Pumpkin Patch….  Doesn’t that just sound exciting?!?  But, maybe just not quite yet.  I still need to get in a bit more swimming, watermelon, bike riding and boating!

Our family has a new addition…LUCKY!  He is a 2 year old yorkie and we could not be happier about our little dog.  He graduated from obedience school on Saturday and can do some fun tricks, which the girls think is amazing.  He is potty trained, which I think is amazing :)   He can sit, sit pretty (on hind legs), lay down, and “go to bed.”  We are currently working on “roll over.”  He LOVES the piano and will go sit next to the piano bench until someone obliges him and plays him a song.  He is a little ball of love!

This next picture just makes me smile!  She was totally talking and laughing with her Mom.  And…look!  She has her fingers crossed!  Maybe she was crossing her fingers, hoping that I would get some good pictures?!?  Ha!  Well, we did :)    Thanks for the fun, Miss K!

this face!   Just a few images we snapped before heading out to church a couple of weeks ago….

Just over a year ago, BJ got his official job offer here in Salt Lake City and we were able to come house hunting.   While our time in Idaho strengthened my testimony of the love of the Lord, that does not mean that it was easy.  It was hard to live in an isolated farmhouse on the ranch, far from family and civilization.  It was hard to huddle around the pellet stove in the kitchen all day just to keep warm.  After living through such a lonely, cold winter in Idaho, I cannot tell you how it cheered my soul to drive into Daybreak and find our little red house to rent.  These bright red flowers were popping up all over Daybreak.  The petals looked like satin.  So, when I started seeing these flowers bloom this spring, it reminded me of the feeling I had last year.  A feeling of renewal. Of hope.
