Ahhh the beach....

We made it over to the beach before we flew out on Sunday and soaked up every bit of the sun before heading home. 

We definitely don't see too many of these
in Bozeman. =)

This was the weekend of shooting in full sun and getting harsh
shadows, but even I didn't care!
We were just so thankful to be warm and in the beach sun. =)

My best friend...we had so much fun on this trip.
I am so blessed to have my parents so close!

Oh precious In-n-Out =)

A few things I miss from Cali....our family, the beach (next post when I get to it =) and In-n-Out! Well, here are a few pics which include a couple of those things....my Grandparents and In-n-Out. 

I have always been so close to these precious Grandparents.
They drove to meet us for lunch since we only had about 2 hours to spare!

And the cups still have John 3:16....
"For God so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten Son that whoever
believes in Him should not perish,
but have everlasting life." 

This guy was so funny...
he just jumped in and posed when I was taking
the picture of the cup.

                                                  Precious In-n-Out, how I miss thee! 

Aaron Lee

I had such an amazing time in California for my cousin Jill's wedding (pictures to come soon...) this past weekend. It was nice to be in warmer weather for a few days.  My Mom and Wayne were down for the wedding as well, so I'll post pictures of them soon too. It was such a whirlwind because I was only there a few days, but thankfully I was able to squeeze in a quick visit with my friend Christine and her family. I love this little guy and he has changed SO much since we saw him last Summer. Thanks again Christine for picking me up at the airport.  Love you guys and I'm already missing this sweet face... 

I was able to be there to watch Aaron eat cottage cheese for the first time.
I love how he's looking at his Mommy trying to figure out what in the world she just fed him.
He is hands down the best eater I have ever seen. He doesn't quit!

This Week

We began the week celebrating a "Girls Night" Valentine's Day...Jon had a meeting so he and I are celebrating Friday. We made heart shaped grilled cheese, which of course the girls loved. It was a special evening.

The next few pictures are just Macy and I playing with the camera....I inevitably take more pics of her because she is home with me during the day and is much more fond of having the camera in her face. :0) 

She comes up with the cutest little "poses." :0) 

Wasn't crazy about the sharpness in this one, but had to include it because as I was walking away from taking her picture she called out, "One more, Mom!" and posed like this all by herself. :0) 

Penguin Day

Marian's class just finished their unit on Penguins. To finish off the unit, the class dressed up like penguins. Marian's teacher has the best ideas. 

The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

Psalm 19:1 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." Well, we definitely experience God's handiwork all the time in Bozeman, but there was just something unique about today and the way the clouds were sitting lower than the mountains. It was just breathtaking!

Special Friends

Marian's basketball team played her friend Seth's team.

I don't know why, but I just love this picture. 

Macy does have "real" friends, but these are probably still her best friends. :0)
Bear-bear (left) has slept with her every night since she was a baby....but recently he has  married the red bear, "Sparkle."
Even as I was posting this Macy walked by and said, "Ohhh, I just love that picture!"  

You can see that Bear-bear is well loved....Macy ate his nose off as a baby and now this is the result. Poor guy! :0) At least he still found a wife!
