pilkture.

looky look what i took.

library love.

what's not to love when you go to the library?
endless shelves of books to checkout for free...
that's right, free...unless you're an idiot like
me and get late fees because you forget
when your books are due...every. single. time.



on top of all those books
there is story time and singing,
and clever little rooms for
kiddos to read in.

the ice cave.

the attic. (my personal favorite)

mercer mayer. we're big fans.

lots of amazingness to see.

(try looking at this and not start singing the reading rainbow song)



aaaand...they have such cute shops.
now, what desperate housewife doesn't want
a little eye candy when she's taking her
kids to the library? exactly.

a few things.

...it was a happy halloween for us.
and nothing rocked
this kid's world
more than the pumpkin patch.
(do you want to see pics of b as a cowboy?
well you can't...because he refused to
dress up...did i care? not in the least.)







and we ran into b's future wife...happy bonus. (i'll email you the pic noey :)


...we went to disneyland

and now mister b insists on wearing this thing...all. the. time.

awesome fact: disneyland at halloween time is fantastic.

snow? really?


...we've been a little on the busy side around here...which is g r e a t!
so, looky look what i took.

i never posted anything about
my birthday....

it was in august.
my cutest girlfriends
threw me a surprise
sing karaoke/eat indian food/
make caramel apples/ girls only
extravaganza...
oh, and then this guy
came out of nowhere
to, once again, steal my heart.



needless to say the night
was nothing short of magical.
i am the luckiest. period.

davey, cher's got nothing on you.

pilkture.

looky look what i took.

sweet soul.

you don't have a soul,
you are a soul.
you have a body.
- c.s. lewis

and we love
this little soul.

the great salt lake.

we went to antelope island and
it is b e a u t i f u l, truly.

bennett got to be a cowboy.
i fell in love with a sailboat.
and we took the worlds best family picture.



(the super male model. the squinter/crotch grabber. the meltdown.)





now,
the "stampede festival" going on
was a little less than magical...

as dave put it:
"if we were to choose
a handful of citizens
to represent the american
people...we would probably
look elsewhere."
