Churn

We had a ward shin-dig and we made ice cream. It was seriously excellent and I take complete credit for its awesomeness... Kidding. Pahaha. But it was fun to learn how to make it and I am actually very impressed that it all worked out considering no one really knew exactly what to do.

P.s. The photo of the dirty dishes is courtesy of Hank.

Birthday Girl

A lot happened today. For starters, for Kendle's birthday I photographed some white spider mums. We had talked about this project a long time ago and I thought it was the perfect time to surprise her with a collection of photographs I had taken. I had to have one last round at a mum before I gave her the flowers at her little birthday get together. [photos 1 through 4]

Next, I helped Hank take some photographs (which I really hope turned out okay. I don't mind going out there again if they weren't very good...). At any rate, I took a few photos while I was on my way to the church, there, and on my way back. The desert was looking so good yesterday in the late afternoon sunlight. [photos 5 through 8]

Then I went to Kendle's party! We had a grand time. We are a funny batch of people, let me tell you. [photos 9 and 10]

Kendle, let me tell you, I have wanted to blog your mum photographs so badly. The thing of it was, it would totally ruin your birthday present. Without further ado, here is my favorite photo that I took of the mums for your birthday project. (It's separate from the actual blog post because I took this on Wednesday.) :)

Independence Day

I love America. It's the truth. No place is quite like our country, and we couldn't be more blessed to live here. Sadly, I don't have any patriotic photos to share, but I did make some cookies this morning (with a lot of help from the family). I suppose family time is patriotic, and that's what we've been doing all weekend, so I think I'm good!

Twice the Awesomeness

I am aware that food photography is rarely pretty, but twice baked potatoes are so dang delicious that I just couldn't help myself. Food is definitely the fastest way to a man's heart. :)

Return Address

We got up before dawn to make it home. We said goodbye to Kelsey and left for good old Arizona. I hadn't really missed the 520 very much. I am glad to have my bed back. That is wonderful. Back to the life of exams and school crap. Oh well. All trips must end, I suppose. It's just a shame that a good one like this ended.

Lunch

I had mac and cheese for lunch. :)

Dinner

We had Christmas dinner tonight (Christmas Eve) instead of tomorrow because Kyle has to work tomorrow night. But it was all very delicious (and what does it really matter what day you eat all the good stuff? haha).

Fall

In lieu of the neat fall colors that Arizona doesn't have, I took a picture of my tasty grapes that are kind of fall-colored. Oh, and it's that time of year again to plant winter grass. It's sprouting. See Kelsey, I told you it's time to rip out the summer flowers flowers and reseed the grass!

Only Breakfast

Breakfast is easily my favorite meal. I was feeling extra domestic this morning, so I made some waffles! They weren't pretty, but they sure were delicious. And I got my hair cut. I love it!
