Where did the time go?


















































Two months to catch up...hmmm...

LA was great! (That was Feb) It was so wonderful to see Malea and her family. We spent an afternoon at the Getty Villa in Malibu-SO BEAUTIFUL! I forgot my camera... The airport was interesting-I was told it was not appropriate for an adult to fuss when they are tired-meaning it was not appropriate for a 10 month to fuss when they were tired (in a terminal-not the airplane) I was arrested for assault shortly there after-no just kidding-actually I had security arrest the woman for trying to separate me from my carry ons-totally illegal in an airport. Just kidding about that too-though had I thought of it I would have been very tempted. Then I had a very large, very tattooed, very feminine sounding, man squeeze in next to me on the flight figuring if he was seated next to a mother and baby he would be safe-flying really scared him. I thought this was pretty cute-though not so much at first when I watched him make his way towards me.

I had fun photographing a wedding, visiting the Greens and getting out of my grocery shopping rut by taking advantage of Bountiful Baskets, a regional food co-op.

We had a great time visiting friends and family in Utah. Cedar City and St. George are so beautiful! I found a home in Cedar that is perfect...it just needs to be reduced by a $100,000 or more. Which strangely enough isn't totally unheard of in today's market-which also would mean we need to sell are home which could take FOREVER-which is also not unheard of in this market... Coming back to Tucson after our trip rekindled my love for this area-especially in the Spring. This is a beautiful place. I guess you could say I've made peace with Tucson once again and have found my gratitude for all the blessings I get to enjoy on a daily basis-family, Jared's awesome job, our home, my mountain, and the WILDFLOWERS!!! I hate driving/traveling home from vacation-but I love arriving home from vacation. My perspective always seems so much clearer. Oh-while in Utah we visited a glass gallery and the kids(and I) were able to make these awesome glass flowers. I highly recommend the gallery and the experience.

WOW!!! This has been the best wildflower season EVER!!! I just want to be outside all the time. I took Bradeigh out for her 1 yr pics-and let's just say that all the tourists had a a good laugh at watching me try to make my very seriouse looking baby laugh and smile. I'm glad I afforded some entertainment. When I came home I was determined to get my toothy smile. I sat her in her high chair and she delivered!! I just wish I could have gotten this smile when I went to all the effort setting her up in the poppies. Oh well. :)
