Fairies Do Exist

"When the first baby laughed for the first time, the laugh broke into a thousand pieces and they all went skipping about, and that was the beginning of fairies" ~James Matthew Barrie

At my house we spend a lot of time talking about rocks, trucks, worms, and bodily functions (yeah, I know). That is the nature of boys. Today I got to spend the evening with three of the most adorable girls I have ever seen. It was nice and refreshing to talk about tutus and ballerinas for a change. They were like real life fairies!! I got some really cute shots of them, and on the way home I was wondering if arranged marriages would still fly these days. =)

Here are a few of the pictures:

Photo Trip

A guy in our ward did a "photo workshop" this morning. He takes BEAUTIFUL landscape pictures and he showed us some of his favorite spots to take pictures at Garden of the Gods. Now, I don't have an eye for landscapes (please remember that while viewing these photos), I do much better with people. But, it was nice to have something sit still for as long as I needed it to. Here are some of the pictures I took:





There were also some really cool trees there, so I snapped some pictures of those too.

Just one for now

I took some pictures of the flowers at the temple today. I haven't had a chance to look at all of them yet, but here is one for now. I LOVE tulips, and I love how this tulip stands out in a sea of yellow.

Carnival

There is a traveling carnival that comes to town every year. I don't ride the rides because they are a bit too flimsy for my liking, but I thought it would be fun to snap some pictures. Well, I thought it was fun anyway, my kids kept saying "Can we go home now?" Amateurs.

Spring is Springing!

I have been waiting and waiting for Spring to come. I want to be outside, to plant my garden, and play with the kids at the park. My neighbor's bush is finally starting to blossom which means Spring is here. Hopefully we won't have any more freak snow storms.

Butterflies

"The butterfly counts not months, but moments, and has time enough."

I have always loved that quote, and I LOVE butterflies. I had the chance to snap some pictures of some today.

A Few More..

Here's a few more from the shoot, just because I like them!
