Wedding Check List

To our brides and anyone else thinking about wedding plans, here is a neat link to a Wedding Checklist, starting one year before the date: http://www.costofwedding.com/index.cfm?action=search.checklist&view=print
I hope that helps!
Our next wedding is going to be in Sedona, October 27! Our beautiful niece, Amy Chadwick is getting married there. We are getting very excited about the trip to Arizona. And also very exciting is Both our boys will be there too. I can't wait to see them!

Hope's Senior Portait

What a beautiful girl Hope is. We had a great time photographing her at the arboretum last week.
She is the kind of girl who will be able to accomplish any goal she might pursue. She is smart, kind,
thoughtful, as well as "pretty as a picture". We are blessed to be able to photograph such unique and lovely Seniors!

Our Trip to the Dump (or, what to do when Todd is out of town)

What a great day we had yesterday! Davy, our son, came to visit and I had a nice line-up of fun scheduled. First we headed to the Elite Training Studios, where Michael, the trainer, put Davy and Sue through an hour of kickboxing (I am injured, so I just did core exercises). Then we headed back home and I fixed us all Migas, a great scrambled egg dish that i learned from the Pioneer Woman blog. Then it was off to the Dump! Hooray!

We headed out with Davy as our driver.




We were delivering two huge, old couches to their new home, compliments of the church youth group. They were so big and heavy, we had to borrow Judi's big diesel truck. That was fun. It was a beautiful day to be outside...even if it was outside at the city dump. The clouds were so pretty and the air seemed so clean, even the dump air was not so bad.



Sue was pretty excited about going to the dump. (see her excited face back there in the back of the truck?) I don't think she gets to go there very often. I haven't been very often either, especially since they stopped allowing people to take things OUT of the dump! (just kiddin').










Poor Davy, here he was with these two delicate women and two huge heavy couches. He was so good, he didn't even panic. He was ready to unload them all by himself. As he started pushing and pulling, out of the blue (brown?) came a big guy with on offer.."Do you need any help?". Whoo hoo!
I asked him, "Are you an angel?" then I said "I know, you are the Dump Angel!". I think he was insulted. That was not the right thing to say. Anyway, we got the job done.







After we got home, we left Davy to shower and change and Sue and I headed for the Roseville Galleria. I mean, if you can't shop at the dump, you have to shop SOMEWHERE! My last shot is of the beautiful cloud we saw at the Galleria.
