I have decided to start a photography blog. I am by no means ready for a business or anything, but I thought it would be fun to share the pics I take. Let me know what you like, don't like. And suggestions are always welcome!

The link is at the top of my left sidebar.

Valentine and Birthday sweets

Just thought I would share these fun little treats. I got them from my friend Kylene. Who found them -> here. <- When I saw them, I just had to try! They were fairly easy and so cute! This is what Jackson's little friends in his preschool got for their Valentine.

And when I ran out of sticks I just did some little hearts.

And of course I mentioned my mother had a birthday, we headed to Logan on Saturday to spend Valentines Day and deliver this to my mom. She loves the bling, So I made her a bling cake!

And the birthday girl with her cake. Funny story, my aunt gave her that shirt and picture frame for her birthday, and then I show up with the cake. Matchy, matchy! We got quite the little chuckle. We must know my mom well.

It was a fun Valentine's weekend. My sweetie gave me a 3 hour trip to the spa! A facial, pedicure, and massage! Woohoo! And I assume that means he watches the kids while I go. Thanks honey I love you!

The Karate Kid

Jackson started taking Karate a few weeks ago and yesterday he had his first belt test. He is now the proud owner of a yellow belt! Way to go buddy! We are so proud! I was in such a hurry to get out the door, (what's new) that I forgot my camera! Luckily my sister-in-law Kristina had hers in her bag. Thanks Kristina, I think I would have been very disappointed had I not had any pictures.

They retire their old belt by tying it on their head .

Jackson's cousin Austin was so excited to come watch Jackson.

My mom, grandma, and sister-in-law with her kids came down for a little birthday celebration for my mom! After Karate, the girls went to lunch and shopping, while Kenny stayed home with all the boys! Thanks honey!
