Love this girl’s reaction to Cosmo. She knows what’s up.

Bones with Cosmo (*sidenote* I totally loved this little guy. Mainly because when Jake was a little boy he had a hat just like this and would wear it. His parents have a video to prove it, and it’s hilarious)

The Flash Fox stole my camera and took this totally awesome shot. Yeah, I’m a dork. Are you just figuring this out?

Aren’t these little onesies darling?

These kids were too cute!

Would you like to know what pure joy looks like? Here it is:

And I couldn’t resist putting my own cutie up here with these others! (teehee. don’t those teeth make you laugh?)

Clash of the Titans

Aren’t they beautiful?

I think she’s my favorite. Such a beauty!

Love the energy of this one

Check out that curly mane!

And here it is….THE shot that I gave to my sister:

Even Audrey loves them!

Please check it out and leave me your thoughts/comments/suggestions in the comment section of this post. I’d love to hear your feedback!

Also, this new site includes a Fine Art section. If any of you are interested in purchasing a print from this section, please contact me. I know some of you were interested in the recent photo of the Manti Temple I posted a few posts back. Art always makes for a fabulous Christmas gift!

Last night we watched the movie WILLOW. Our reason for doing so was three-fold: 1) to acquaint my sister-in-law Kayti with this fabulous 1980’s classic, 2) to re-aquaint ourselves with this fabulous 1980’s classic, and 3) because for some time now I have thought that my little Audrey resembles the baby in the movie, Elora Danan.

It was hard to find photos of this little baby online. Most pics were of willow and madmortigan (val kilmer). But what do you think? Pretty similar?

If you haven’t seen that movie, I would highly recommend it. It’s a little darker than I remember it being, but it boasts some fabulous lines, such as “This is war, not agriculture”, “Kill the beast! Find the baby!”, “Help! There’s a peck here with an acorn pointed at me!”, “Your mother was a lizard”, “You are so beautiful. Your eyes, your whiskers, I was to keees you!”, and “Tempting, but no”. Ahahaha. It makes me laugh just thinking about it. If you haven’t seen it, watch it! If you have, watch it again. If you aren’t sold yet, here’s a link to the trailer:

Now for PART II.

Audrey turned 4 months old yesterday!!

I’m so in love with this little butterball I can hardly stand it.

Here favorite things to do these days are:

1. chew endlessly on her fingers

2. Spit

3. Growl at her mom, suck on her lip, and smile, smile, smile

4. Grab her toes

5. Play hide and seek

6. Give her “power to the people” arm raise and stare at her hand

7. Imitate buddha

Seriously people. I’m so in love with her. And I declare here and now that she is the most adorable baby on this planet. Evidence:

Not convinced? Too bad. And if you think your baby is the most adorable baby on the planet (which I’m sure you do), you can write it on your blog.

Okay, I can’t take it any longer. I’m done with you internet. I’ve got to go chew on these delicious little morsels…

We entered a landscape photography contest held by the Wasatch Journal and JAKE’s photo (not mine) placed in the top 20! That means it will be printed in their magazine, as well as be on display at a gallery stroll in Salt Lake this weekend! I’m so proud! A lot of you may not know that Jake does Aerial Photography and is quite good at it. Check out his website at AirUtah. If any of you would like to attend the gallery stroll, check out the flyer below. I’ll be attending alone with Audrey (since Jake is at a scout camp–sad that he he’ll be missing his own artistic debut) and would love to see you there!

And since I don’t like to post without a photo, here’s a recent shot of Jake and Audrey all dressed up for church. Love it.
