Enough is ENOUGH!

So I was experimenting with my camera the other day once I figured out a new little feature to play with and I literally took around 200 pictures of this cute kid. This one I caught towards the end of our photo session. I think she was a little tired of it, don't you?

Oh, and then I played around a bit in Photoshop experimenting with a linear dodge and burn. I think it looks pretty cool-- here's the before photo to compare:

Xandri

Xandri "borrowed" this beanie from my little nephew Raph (5 months). Running around, nekkid but for her diaper and this beanie. That's my little monkey. I with this photo were in focus a little better...

For Cindy

Your kids are so flippin cute!

My Precioussss

This little boy has stolen my heart. I absolutely adore him.

Roman's Blessing

We blessed Roman last Sunday, January 11. What can I say, it was beautiful. It made me so grateful for the gospel and for a wonderful husband who is worthy to hold the Priesthood, worthy to perform such a beautiful ordinance.

On to the Next Distraction...

Yeah, that pretty much sums it up lately. I'm having such a hard time focusing on anything, which is why I've been out of the blogging world for so long. I can't even focus on this blog. Just wanted to let you know we're still alive and kicking here.

Magic the Gathering

We start wizard training early in our family. These boys are gonna learn to play Magic whether they want to or not, I think...

Cookie Day

So I've been wanting to make gingerbread men for a while. And then I got all crazy and actually made frosting and decorated them. I frosted a bunch in your classic gingerbread man fashion, you know the face, the buttons, the outline. Then I started getting creative. Gingerbread Charlie Brown. A frumpy gingerbread housewife in a muumuu. A gingerbread prison inmate and his gingerbread victim. A tux-wearing gingerbread man that looks more like a gingerbread doctor. A gingerbread man in various bandaging, casts and slings.
Gingerbread Cyclops. I got a little morbid... what does that say about me? That I find injured/dead gingerbread men amusing? Hmmm... not sure I want to find out.

My favorite beverage of late. Who am I kidding. This is my favorite beverage year-round.

I had leftover frosting. What was I supposed to do?
