Summer Lovin'

In these last couple of weeks we've done more than we did the whole summer.

I've really been horrible at taking pictures but I thought it was time for a summer iPhone Photo Dump!

I feel like I've missed so much! Sometimes I get too caught up in having fun that I forget to take pictures. I've been thinking about taking a photography class just so I could get the basics down but I haven't been able to find one that works for me. Any suggestions in the Southern California area?

Happy Birthday My Love

Happy Birthday to the BEST Husband Ever!!!

I love you!

Dating

For Valentines Day I made a "Date Box" full of ideas for dates, places to go for dinner, and fun adventures. We haven't had the opportunity to choose from the box till today and we ended up going to dinner and the casino! 

Tim brought me the prettiest flowers ever!

Then I actually spent a little time getting ready...I'm embarrassed to admit it, but lately I've been pretty consumed with a home improvement project and spend my days in paint stained clothes.

Linus laid on the bed watching us get ready trying to make us feel bad.

We went to dinner in a too dark restaurant where I had the best salad of my life then went to the casino where we didn't win a darn thing!

To top off the night we came home to no poop! That's always a plus!!

Edit: Tim wanted me to clarify that I'm talking about Linus Poop...not human poop.

A Letter to my Husband...

Dear Tim,

I just wanted to tell you that I love you. You never cease to amaze me with your amazing husband skills. If it weren't for you, I'd probably crumble into a pile of nerves and self-pity but you keep me grounded and positive (really...you do). I love you most when you pray over us as a family. I fall asleep easier knowing that I will get to wake up next to you and you will tell me that I'm beautiful even with crusty eyes and crazy hair. You're the best dad to Linus and I know that he adores you, mostly because when I wake up in the middle of the night he usually has his butt in your face. Oh yeah, you're really cute too.

Love,

Me.

P.S. You're right, we can get through anything together.

Steve and Kristas Wedding!

Remember the wedding we went to a couple of months ago? Well the pictures are here and they're great! Brian Hall is an awesome photographer!

The lovely bride and my new sister-in-law, Krista

My talented In-laws working their magic!

The gorgeous end result

 Love this picture of my in-laws :)

Sister-In-Law Leah

I love this picture because of David front and center ( The wide angle lens is not my friend!)

The happy couple!

Okay, this next set of pictures pretty much blows my mind. This is my husband...my sober husband...my husband who refused to dance at our very own reception. He pretty much went crazy...enjoy:

Ridiculous.

The most awkward picture we've ever taken

As you can see I have a whole bunch of brother and sister in laws and the family just keeps growing.

I really hit the jackpot with the Lopez family!

The Little Things...

It's little things like my sleeping boys that make me realize just how wonderful my life is.

And other stuff like:

-Waking up in the middle of the night to a wide awake puppy nose to nose.

-Air conditioning when its 104 degrees out

-The home decor section of Pinterest

-The excitement of getting pictures from this weeks photo shoot

-A loving husband

-Home renovations
