i heart faces "Whimsy"

The theme this week is "whimsy". This is tough word to define but I interpreted as "playful". The girls insisted on having a front yard lemonade sale. While they only made $3.00, everyone had a great time! Especially baby brother who pretty much ate their profit in cookies.

The theme this week is "Let's hear it for the boys". So without further ado, I present to you my 19 year old nephew Garrett. He was just standing there talking to some people. Inadvertently looking like Jake Ryan (remember "Sixteen Candles"? This is the same car that Jake Ryan was cruising around town in) so casually leaning on his shiny red Porsche. I got the shot, and he had no idea I even took it.

this makes me happy.

Just when I think these kids will never stop fighting, I catch a glimpse of what they mean to each other. (oh yes, that is Snoqualmie falls in the background. I found the children more amazing to photograph:)

While at first it made me think of a Bette Midler song, I instantly knew which photo I wanted to use. I just took it last weekend. Perfect timing!

Excuses...

OK, I'm not going to make excuses about why I've been neglecting my poor little blog. Maybe just one. Life has been all sorts of chaotic around here. The girls are on a bedtime strike and this, above all else, takes away from my blogging time. By the time they are snuggled into their beds, I am so exhausted that I can't think about anything but sleeping myself.
So, without further ado, I give to you: I Heart Faces "Dream Big" workshop!!! Amazing experience. I think the photo shoot day was my favorite part. They set up 3 different shoots for us.

I felt like I was shooting for an Anthropologie catalogue or something:)

I'll be back later to post the other sessions. I have an appt. with the trainer at the gym. I think I'd rather sit here and blog, but I must go.
