Meet Iszaha

I've never met an "Iszaha/Isaiah" before, and this one lives up to my expectations. Just look at that big beautiful smile!!!




I asked Iszaha if he had a favorite scripture, and he said no, so I'll share mine :) I love Isaiah 49:14-16, and I think 55:12 goes well with this last image.

A Gift of Love

Saturday morning, the ladies of the Henderson Nevada Eldorado Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gathered for a morning of service. We had collected items for hygiene kits, school kits, baby care kits, military packages, and food and clothing for three local aid agencies. Above, clockwise from left: Elaine H. (LV ward), Ilene P.

What a hard working group!!!
I don't remember the final tally on how many boxes or kits or packages we packed. If anyone has got that, leave a comment! Also, obviously, I don't know everybody in these pictures. If you can name them, leave a comment!
Thank you everyone for all your hard work, especially those who were involved in all the planning and coordinating and the delicious lunch!

Happy 1st Anniversary/What's in Your Kitchen?

One year ago today my home was burglarized. What did they get? The majority of my camera gear! The good news is I was able to go shopping for a new camera!! ;) The interesting part about the situation is that I had just decided to remodel my kitchen Trading Spaces-style. I thought I could bang out a new kitchen in two days. 1 can of Fudge Truffle paint (I could smell the chocolate, oh wait, maybe that was just paint fumes), 2 rolls of wallpaper, 23 black handle pulls, and 22 black hinges - how hard could it be?? So I tore apart the kitchen -which landed in the rest of the house. Midway through the second day of remodeling, I returned home from an errand to find my house in shambles, which was the way I left it, but with the lights on, which was not how I left them! Which led to the discovery of the missing camera bags.
The before picture (circa 2004). Does it scream rental or what? It reminds me of some of my college apartments. The combination of the off-white paint and the silver handle pulls made me want to puke. Finally after living in it for 5 years, I came up with a fabulous plan that I love and has totally worked for us.
Enter My New Kitchen:

I loooooove toile patterns.
Now I just need new lights, and the pulls put on the lower cabinets. The lower cabinets are metal and the holes are in different places so we haven't decided how to attach them yet. I suggested Super Glue, Liquid Nails, soldering or something of that sort. Anyone have any other brilliant ideas? (This is the main reason why it has been a year and I am just now posting pictures - it's not "finished" because the lower cabinets don't have the new pulls on yet!)

What's on my walls: Pictures I took in college. Train tracks in Pennsylvania. Recently a friend posted about taking food pictures to put on her kitchen walls. I also have taken food pictures for others, but for me my trains are totally rocking my kitchen. I love them. What's in your kitchen??

For The Gallery Wall

After we called it quits and I packed up my camera, I knew I had to take one more. This is my "one more pose" shot. I'm glad I did!

I don't know if you can tell, but I am definitely recommending some black & white to go on Jen's wall in her living room. She has been doing some re-decorating and has a great space for these (& the baby by himself) portraits. I can't wait to see these on her wall!

Doesn't it make you want to nuzzle your nose next to his cheek?

He looks all grown up!! (Newborn portraits here)
Picture-perfect! (what you don't know is - there were 14 others of this same pose! Squirmy children make me so thankful for digital photography!)

Family shots coming soon.

What a Beautiful Day

5 1/2 years ago, I watched these two tie the knot. Today I watched as they were sealed (see Matthew 16:19) to each other for all eternity in the Las Vegas Temple.
Also sealed to them were their two precious daughters who were so angelic in the Temple. To learn more about being families forever, click here.

A Day at the Farm

It is not pleasant when the first thing you think of on a frosty February morning is "Ah nuts. I'd better go outside and take some pictures before I loose that excellent light." Donning my coat and shoes, I ran outside in my pajamas. The cows were not so pleased. And so my photo safari was short lived. I needed breakfast anyways.

Amassing My Collection

Someday I will have a garage/basement/guest room - ahem, I mean studio! - full of wonderfully random chairs and other such fun props. We'll start it all off with these two.
My jaw dropped when I saw this yellow chair. *JACKPOT* I thought to myself. There were actually 5 of them, yes FIVE! so I didn't feel bad taking one out of the set since four is a perfectly normal amount of chairs to have. I love the simpleness and the brightness of this one.
And everybody needs a stool. Even if it's not being shown in the picture, sometimes you just need a place to sit!

Thank you, Richfield Deseret Industries!
