Random Musings

I may have already posted these, but here ya are anyway!


Probably the best thing ever. Such a darling boy. 






My mom came to stay with us a little while ago, so Tyler and I ran out for a yummy breakfast at Bruges Waffles & Frites, in downtown Salt Lake. Best thing I've eaten to date! This piggy (above) marks the market place that the shop is located in.


 Belgium Waffle Monster (above and below):



After breakfast we headed up to Park City, where we saw a moose! Not uncommon, but still, its pretty cool!






Found this onesie that I'm getting my cousin Mike when they have kids (he's a huge skier). 

 Then a little Bansky art was discovered by Tyler and I:




Then, we came home to a cute bubba, doing a little dancing action!



Park Days






Just a few days at the park - this time, dad got off of work only and snapped some pictures. We took a friend with us, who's in kindergarten, and we had a lovely time. This boy is loving hats. Can you tell?

F is for Falling Leaves

 Bubba and I playing around on our Sunday afternoon hike up the canyon in Bountiful - he was in heaven, climbing all the fallen tree logs, playing in the leaves and sliding around in the dirt. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday afternoon, if you ask me!

 Bubba at Grandma Sander's house - playing around! Look at all of that hair! This was obviously before the scalping of a haircut. Poor golden locks!


 Nana loves Ethan. So naturally, she gave him his first Oreo cookie. Things will never be the same!

 Sharing cookies with Nana!




 Swinging at Aunt Cynthia and Uncle Bentley's while they were at church!



 Then, we gathered leaves in their backyard and entertained everyone who came out to play!


 Bubba still doesn't get it. haha Just give him a few tries, and then he'll be stomping those leaves until the cows come home.

 Tyler and I love swinging Ethan around, dragging his legs through the leaf piles, and hearing him laugh. Its a good day!

 He loves it.

 What a ham!



 Then, Uncle Bentley decided to 1-up Nana and gave Ethan a Popsicle. Anyone think this kid loves Kaysville? I know he does!



 Ethan's first big bite. hahaha Must be a little cold!


Overall, the outing was a huge success! Thanks for having us, Kaysville clan!

Coming up, Halloween!

Cottle Family Fotos!

I miss taking pictures. I miss it.

I've been trying to get life under control (hahaha) and let photography slide. Now, I'm falling in love with it all over again. Its thrilling to see how happy people are through the lens of your camera - even if its a simple smile, the joy of new (or not so new) love, or the thrill of being a child in the fall.


















This is my first family shoot ever. 
They asked, and hopefully I delivered. 

Be gentle, but how do you think they turned out?!

Thanks to the Cottle Family! 
I couldn't have done it without you!
