Valentine Sweethearts
February 14, 2013 | Filed Under Children, Products | Comments Off on Valentine Sweethearts
Today I was reminded of when I was in 6th grade and wrote a paper about the Valentine’s Day Massacre. While everyone else in my 6th grade class was writing about love and drawing hearts all over their papers, I insisted that red, pink and white really represented blood, flesh and courage as the true colors of battle. Apparently I was a bit anti-Valentine’s then. Now that I am slightly more grown up, I have changed my mind about the holiday. I get creative thinking of fun ways to show my kids how much they are loved.
One of these ideas came from tinyprints.com. These adorable mini cards were so irresistible I had to get them. This morning I even got the nod of approval from my husband. I always assume he doesn’t care about these things, but I saw that he kept picking up the cards saying, “these are so cute!”
Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you have a day filled with the sweetness of love…and also the courage to share it.

Beter late than never, I wanted to share some of my favorite images from Brent & Ezra’s party. I loved planning (and photographing) this super cool birthday party at the skatepark! It was a great activity and all the kids had a blast. Thanks to Jenn Clark for all the amazing decorations and cute chocolate skateboards!
Christmas Portraits: The Utley Girls

On a trip to Seattle, I saw my good friend Erika and her awesome family. Their 4 girls are so lively and fun. There is never a dull moment around the Utley home! I loved taking photos of the girls playing in the Christmas lights. It was too hilarious…and perfect because they really let their humor shine through. Quite the hams, they had me laughing the whole time.

Pepper turned 2! We celebrated with a tutu party with two of her close friends. The dress-up was a big hit, as were the bubbles. You can always expect smiles with bubbles, lollipops and tutus!
