Amateur attempt

My feeble attempt to capture my handsome boys was a success! The caboose was a hit and they had so much fun figuring out where to sit or stand, making my job so easy! This caboose is right here in our little town, part of a little historical depot museum. It has been restored just recently making it a perfect backdrop for their pictures and a fun place to play! Here are just a few of the moments captured.

POP!

So proud of Lane and his science fair project. He will present it to the judges tomorrow. He is excited! We wish him luck! An update will follow tomorrow evening. By the way Orville Redenbacher's pops more popcorn if you are interested!

Sweet to my soul

I love this time of year for so many reason, but most importantly convention. My soul and my spirit are in need of renewing! But I also love baking for convention. This year we are going to be with my parents and my brother and his family at Mt. Peak. Special days are in store! These are just some of the goodies I am baking this weekend to take.

Today's thought

This quote has been with me all day.....I want to start making a list of all the little things that mean something to me now. Then one day I can look back and remember these precious little moments.
