Professional pics by simplelife photography- Carrie Mann

This was my Christmas card picture and I had envisioned it in my mind for ages before Carrie actually captured exactly what I wanted! She came into to town to take our family pictures and it all seemed to go so smoothly. We had amazing weather and the kids did great. Anson was done after the first 15 minutes but that is how 1year olds are I suppose. I LOVE the pictures she took!! Thanks Carrie- for a fun weekend and priceless pictures!

My first Christmas party

My good friend Mindy sales Usborne books and when I went to her party I fell in love with some of the books. I have always loved children's books so I decided to throw a party for her because it was a good excuse for a girls night filled with tasty food, great conversation, and fun books to purchase! I made stuffed mushrooms, Bruschetta, truffles, and a some other tasty treats. It was a super fun night! Thanks Minds~ 

It's Christmas!!

This little monkey keeps taking my ornaments off the tree! He thinks it's a game. I keep asking myself why we put it up so early. I have been so excited for the holidays this year and really feeling that Christmas spirit. I have had the pleasure of taking family pics of a couple of my friends for Christmas and was happy with how they turned out.  Easy to take pics of good looking people I tell ya! 

Thanksgiving Fun with our Utah Family

Conference photo session

On Conference Sunday we went to the park between sessions to get our wiggles out and I decided some fun fall shots  were in order. My kids were great sports and kept hamming it up for me.
