The 12 Pains of Christmas

I have been hearing this song come up every once in awhile on the Christmas radio station. So funny, and so true.

15 Years on the 15th!!!! and a Photo Shoot

K, so it's almost been 2 months since our 15th Anniversary, but it's worth writing about anyways. WARNING long post...sorry.

A HUGE Thank you to my BIL and his 9 mo pregnant wife for traipsing all over the temple grounds to try to take our picture. He did a fantastic job...you can check out more of his work at: http://bluebellephoto.blogspot.com/




This matches the vision I had..except Baby Dolly (or The Boss ) was in mid flight...she should be standing, dang it.


This little girl would leave at the least provocation. We could not for the life of us keep her put. So her nickname is changing from Baby Dolly to The Boss :)

We couldn't keep our formation. uuggh
So Mr. L hadda wonderful idea, just play follow the leader. She wanted to walk anyway, and the kids had lotsa fun.







Dang, look at all of those little munchkins!!!! We are truly blessed~ even though by the end of the shoot I was about ready to scream.... :)

................................................................................

Time flys when you're having fun, or when you're not getting anything done., and you run outta time to do everything by the end of the day. I guess raising kids is getting things done....maybe undone and then redone. It's the cycle of the undoing/redoing...nothing really gets done ultimately. At least raising kids is a permanent fixture, all the teaching and re-teaching does eventually sinks in. Sometimes it takes years before you notice...all the repetition does pay off.


So Mr. L and I got married in the St. George Temple for time and all Eternity 15 years ago!!!! The best day of my life, and every day since that day have been pretty darn wonderful.

We went on a hike the day before, and had tinfoil dinners. It was soo fun!!!





Of course we hadda take another pic with the sunset. It made gorgeous backdrop!!!



The next night we went to Made in Brazil, oh my goodness, and yumminess...and expensivenesss (good thing we hadda coupon:)....but oh so good. It was a glorified salad bar, with some really exotic things to put on your salad and it also hadda side bar with potatoes, rice, stroganoff, and some other really fatty scrumptious foods. Then these guys go around to the tables bringing meat straight off of the rotisserie...a lot of people really digged this, like Mr. L. I passed, I'm not a big meat eater. But very great food!!!! The most memorable time was the hike, I highly recommend it!!!!
