lazy friday morning.

sometimes it's nice to laze around in bed in the morning.

this little butternut is growing up so fast.

happy weekend!

happy vday!

*what paul saw when he walked in the bathroom that morning to get ready for work.

paul's parents watched lil penny and we went out to eat at aristo's, this UH-mazing greek food restaurant in salt lake. like seriously, it's soo good. their hummus and pita are to die for.

*outside the restaurant.

after dinner we got a little ice cream ( & chocolates for paul's parents) at hatch family chocolates.

then we did the present thing. i got paul some lame clothes (including the jacket above) but he totally one-upped me and got me a KINDLE! i was soo excited when i opened it. i've read a book on it already. love it. thanks paul. :)

(yes, i posed with my new kindle because i'm a big cheeseball.)

hope you all had a fun valentine's!

work it.

miss penny was my little model again today for some new bow clips in the shop.

we got some good shots (i kind of go for a relaxed look on her face. this is achieved through the very fancy technique of watching pbs.org on the laptop):

and some not-so-good shots (i.e. funny faces, arms too high, etc.) but i guess they're still pretty cute:




i LOVE that little tongue!

i don't know what it is about taking pictures of penny in diffused lighting, but whenever i brighten the pic in photoshop her hair looks ultra red. so people on etsy think i have a REALLY red-headed daughter instead of a slightly red-headed daughter. whatevs, it looks pretty, right?
