Found these awesome felt chandeliers at Michaels yesterday in their dollar bins. At the top of the photo are notecards and a spiral notebook. I haven't stopped by Michaels in ages and just happened to be close by. So glad I went in. Super cute!

My favorites for American Idol

OK, I'm just puttin' it out there, goin' on the record as sayin' that cutie David Archuleta should hands down take the whole thing. But here are my top five, in no particular order, after David of course.

David Archuleta

Jason CastroCarly SmithsonBrooke WhiteRamiele Malubay And I think that Paula is right. This is a great season. Although I was not convinced when I saw the top 24 (um, Garrett?), I do believe that this is the most well rounded and interesting top 12.

Bring it.

So sad to see you go...

Alexandréa Lushington left us last week. She was very good.

Danny Noriega was voted off this week. So sad! He was so funny and had a GREAT voice.

We finally have workers started on our bathroom remodel. Yes, that is the bathroom that we practically gutted the day we moved in, six months ago. Luckily we have a 3/4 bath downstairs that we have been using but I am so ready to have a bathtub again! So, while these guys have been working on this...




I have been working on this...





My cute cousins (edit - Heather just pointed out that these are not my cousins! These are my super cute nephews. I guess I am so used to talking to my girls about their cousins that I didn't even think about it!) that I shot in October. Wow, there is alot of catch up work going on around here this week! Hopefully I can keep it up! I'll be back with pics of the new bath soon.

Whoa, it has been awhile since I have visited blog world. Don't get me wrong, I still read alot of other peoples' blogs but have not managed to find the time to update mine. Well, you will be sorry that you wished for more. (Oh, did you not?) I have vowed to be more consistent posting this year. Yes, I mean 2008. So, lets get going!

Oh, WHY have I been too busy to write two measley sentences or post a couple of photos you ask??? Well, we sold our house, packed up all our belongings including two kids, moved, redid most of the new (to us) house, and unpacked all in the last 4 months, mostly in that order. The house is still not done so I will refrain from before & afters until we are really finished. But here are a few random shots from the last few months to tide you over.






Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

Favorites from a recent shoot with some good friends.

Some favorite shots from the past year.

The capitol building in Springfield.
Yup, we are going where things happen.

Uh... just not the budget!



A shot I really liked of a backyard while house hunting. So "Secret Garden"! Too bad the house was so "I need a makeover"!

Good night!

Super cool.
