Quick preview of Ashley & Jacob’s wedding portraits….
We did these a few days before their wedding…Ashley said she loved being able to get it out of the way before her big day!

This cookbook was originally my mothers. She gave it to me several years ago. I remember using this book over and over again when I was little. I LOVE making the Russian Tea Cake cookies (the powder sugar butter cookies).

While making cookies today, I decided to take a picture of this fabulously old and wonderful book. The pages are coming out, it has spots where various ingredients spilled on it….I think there is even a few pages that are permanently stuck together. Even with all the issues…I would rather use the recipes in this book than any other. I’m sure it’s been reprinted. I can probably get a newer version…but then it wouldn’t be the same.

Every time I take out this cookbook – It takes me back to my mom’s kitchen and the joy of being little and ‘getting’ to cook.

Okay – so I stayed up late to get photos of the Lunar Eclipse…But I only got a couple good photos before the clouds rolled in. (of all the nights for Arizona to get a little weather!)
I was able to watch the eclipse online…but it wasn’t the same. How I WISH there weren’t any clouds and I could have gotten the red moon…it would have been amazing!
I LOVED laying on the trampoline and just watching the moon….The kids & Chris were in bed though…so it was just me.

Here’s a layout that I did…I had fun taking photos of the moon – fun to do something new!

Family is the best thing in the world….
It’s so hard to not put ALL the photos on here. I don’t think there was a single one that I didn’t like! Heather and her family are just so stinkin’ cute! I loved every minute of this photo shoot!
Thank you Heather for the chance to get to know you and your family a little bit better!!
