Easter

We woke up to quite a bit of snow on Easter morning! Let me say in my defense, that I have only woken up to snow on the ground a couple of times in my life (I can actually only think of one...). I was really excited. No one else was. Everyone took a trip outside with me though to play in it and see how pretty it was. It totally melted by the end of the day, which was actually a really wonderful compromise between the snow and the... not snow.

Jason and Laurel were super nice and gave us little chocolate bunnies and let us enjoy Easter with them and their family. It was a fun day. :)

Christmas in the Desert

Again, my pictures are an ode to the Christmas season. I just love it all. And it also helps that I am especially proud of the tree I wrapped in the front yard. :)

I pulled out my big awesome coat because it was cold and rainy outside. It wasn't cold or rainy inside, but it's really neat and I can't wait until it's actually cold enough to wear it! Someday.... haha!

Gary still makes me laugh. A lot!

Here It Goes

The Christmas season started yesterday. Dad and I got Christmas lights up. He got the ones on the house while I worked on the tree. It makes me so happy!

Giving Thanks

I am grateful for all that I have. I love the beautiful things I am surrounded by, along with all of the beautiful people I get to associate with. Here are some Thanksgiving shots from my grandmother's front and back yards. A little hilarious that everything is green and full of life here in Arizona. The fall weather still hasn't quite hit. Haha

Can It Be?

It's Christmas time. I can't even believe it (even though it's actually the day before Thanksgiving, we're practically there. Haha). My mom has been working on these nifty poinsettia centerpieces for some Relief Society thing, so I thought I might try to capture some Christmas spirited things to get in the mood!

On a completely unrelated note, I got this awesome shirt at Target the other day. It's neat. And artistic, so I guess it works. Haha!

On another completely random note, here is Gary, my little grass haired Chia-thing. Kendle and I got some and we happened to start ours on the same exact day. Her's is named Larry. They're buds - Larry and Gary! I'll post once he gets some real hair - for now it's just those little white fuzzy things.

Break

I maintain that the morning is optimal photography time. Just like optimal tanning time is between the hours of 11 and 4 during the summer months (so I've heard. Since I don't tan, I wouldn't really know). It makes me sad that I'm at school all day when the sun is actually out. By the time I get home, it's almost dark. We'll see how the winter works for picture taking. But since there was a break from school and work today, look at what I got!

The last picture is the bottom of an awesome hanging pot my dad has, just so that's clear. And the second picture there - the plant is wet because the hanging pot was dripping all of the excess water that had just been poured into it.
