North Carolina to California

NC to CA was a little more rushed and a little less excited! so we pushed all of ourselves to the limit on this trip.

Concord, NC - Little Rock, Arkansas
Arkansas - Albuquerque, New Mexico
New Mexico - Flagstaff, Arizona
Arizona - Thousand Oaks, California

playing at a park in flagstaff. we had lots of fun visiting relatives there.

Shad Graduated

My amazing husband graduated from Brigham Young University with a Bachelors in Fine Arts in Photography. We are soooo proud of him! His family came to down for the big event, it was lots of fun. Enjoy!

and more back up.

We love to play hide and seek. And Cru found the ultimate hiding spot right before we moved!


Mom and Dad brought up oranges from their tree over Easter so we taught Cru how to juice the oranges! He loved it!






Cru at the roller skating rink for Jeris' birthday. He used a scooter and we couldn't get him off all night!

back up

Some of these are way old and I should have posted months ago. But any pictures are better than no pictures right. And it's quite typical of me anyway so just enjoy.

jeris' bday party at the roller skating rink. cru loved it. you'll see pictures later.


mom and dad came to visit for easter. cru LOVED having them here. especially his papa.


Lucy Call and I at her BFA photography show at BYU. Lucy and Frodo were the best neighbors ever and we miss them so much.


Shad and Cru at the Living Planet Aquarium in SLC. We went to see the new penguins.


We took Cru over to the Dinosaur museum at BYU one day. He was not too fond of it. ha ha.
