I used the idea of a book for my header since this challenge is going to be a journal of my life over the years.
I hope you enjoy viewing these pages of my life as they unfold. I know I will...

Page 209 - Orville

This is the founder of Scentsy. His name is Orville and his amazing and beautiful wife is Heidi. In this moment they were playing a video of people saying what an amazing person his wife is and how she touched their lives.

You can see the love and respect he has for her as well just by the look on his face.

This is the convention center I will be shooting in the next three days. I had this huge blue bear watching my every move while inside. It was a little creepy and cute all at the same time :)

It rained tonight so no vision picture. Gonna have to wait until next week now :(

At least I found the PERFECT dress for the shoot today.

I'm so excited for this shoot! If only I didn't have to go to Denver to shoot a convention this week. I hope the flowers are still here when I get back!

Page 205 - Collection

I've started a new collection of vintage cameras for shelves in my office.

Yesterday I hit the jackpot with a lady who had 15 of them from an estate sale she went to. I fell in love and bought them all.

Today I did my oldest daughter's 6 year pics. She turned 6 years months ago so I figured it was about time I get them done. Glad I waited though since I recently found the perfect outfit and was able to use my new vintage camera in the shoot.

This camera is my fav:

Page 204 - New vision

I have a new vision for my 3 year old daughter's 3 year old shoot on Monday.

When I get an idea in my head I can't stop until I can make it real. In order to make it reality, I had to find one of these for cheap. Found him this morning for $30 :)

Peaked your curiosity yet? Let me give you one hint:
Think Mary Poppins.

You'll have to wait until Monday's post to see!!!

I have a new blog design thanks to my new friend Kelley Howe.

It took me forever to figure out what I wanted but it's finally done! I love it. My fav is the slide show in the header and my new logo. Kelley has some mad skills!!!

Page 199 - Crawling

My favorite baby came for a visit again today. I could have him be my picture of the day every day and never get sick of him, he is so adorable!! He's almost crawling now so I just had to document it.

Page 198 - Sound Of Music

Tonight we watched one of my favorite movies, The Sound of Music.

In the middle of the movie there is an intermission and my son asked, "What is that?"

As the music started playing and my kids all got up to dance around the room together, I said, "That is exactly what an intermission is for."

The bonus of where we live is not just the amazing view, but the fireworks we get to watch from our deck. No driving, no crowds, NO TRAFFIC afterwards!!

Page 189 - Bambi

I saw a deer in my front yard eating my bushes. I grabbed my camera and ran out to get a picture, but she was gone. I heard a rustling behind me and turned and saw a baby deer standing there and he quickly ran away.

I patiently sat on my porch knowing he had to come back since his mother went the other direction. Sure enough, he came bounding into my yard and even let me take his picture :)

Page 187 - Paparazzi

I was shopping in a little boutique today and saw the actress, Kelly Packard, who was on California Dreams and Baywatch. AAAHHHHHHH!! I felt like the paparazzi trying to take her picture without her noticing.


Haha! Honestly, I was there with her. She is one of my best friends from High School and we all got together this week for a reunion. I just thought this pic would be funny :)

Here we are, the Fab 5:

Page 185 - T.P.

Came home from Park city to find my house T.P.'d for the first time EVER!!! It was a huge pain to clean up and I felt so sorry for the homes I did it to when I was young and immature ;)

Then I went to dinner for a reunion with my 4 best friends from High School who all came into town so we could spend the week together.

Look what I found on my plate when I walked in to the restaurant. Yep, they had a blast at my expense (and I absolutely love it!). Thanks ladies, you are the BEST!!!

Page 181 - Baked Alaska

My hubby is often so proud of his cooking creations he asks me to take pictures.

I'm not good at food photography so it looks like I'd better take a class or something.
