SUGAR AND SPICE

While in Boise, snapping pics at my grandparents, I caught sight of my soon-to-be sister-in-law, Keli's cute shoes. Purple with ruffles, what girl wouldn't love em? So, what did I do? TOOK A PIC!!! Kinda silly, but I think it turned out quite cute! Its one of my favorite edits this week, and i experimented with a sunflare action from COFFEE SHOP, and I LOVE what it can do! CHECK IT OUT, all Rita's actions are FREE!!!

CALLED TO SERVE

My paternal Grandparents are heading out to Africa on Tuesday {check out the previous post!} and I wanted to show a couple pics of the WHOLE FAMILY{minus a few}! {we were missing Tim, Eric and Cason- darn it all!- Missed you guys!!!}

I didn't try to do anything creative with the photos, my goal was PURELY to get everyone in ONE PLACE long enough to get a decent photo- so composition isn't the greatest, posing, etc- but the memory is PRICELESS!

Grammy and Grandpa- SURE LOVE YOU GUYS! God be with you!

Grammy and Grandpa Bowen with their grandkids (minus Eric and Cason) and their spouses.

With Children, Grandchildren, and Great-Grandchildren

Oh, precious!!! Here are all the great-grand kids, plus the NEW BABIES! This one turned out PERFECTLY! I was really surprised we were even able to get everyone rounded up and NOBODY WAS CRYING! Yay.

ENJOY!

THE BOWEN FAREWELL

My Grandma and Grandpa Bowen are going on another mission to Africa, so we were all able to get together as a family for a yummy lunch and a fun visit! Snapped a few pictures so they would have some memories to cherish while they are there!

RE-INVENTING

As you can see I have been re-inventing my blog. My hope was, if I LOVED it, I would post to it more!!! (haha- self motivation) Anyway, as you can see there are some fun things you can do from a slide show header to menu buttons at the top- and YOU MAY WANT SOME TOO!

Check out SHABBY BLOGS and COFFEE SHOP for great blogging tutorials! Those ladies rock!

GREEN DAY

Happy St. Patrick's Day, from US!

(well, mostly OWEN!! Cuz he's cute... perfect poster child for the family, right!?!)

Ok, so I know I am posting this a day late... but that's how you roll when you run around like a chicken with it's head cut off!!! I made it on St. Pattie's day, that counts right!!!

ANYWAY! HAPPY GREEN DAY!

(Below is the origianl, minus the St. Pattis day textures in case family want this one instead!lol)

MYLES

This is my sweet nephew Myles. Kirii and Doug and their boys were able to come down for a visit and to attend my TDC concert! It was so fun to have them and sad to see them go. I was able to do a family photoshoot for Kirii for her birthday... which I have yet to edit (sorry Kirii- SOON!)

But there was this one picture of Myles that I loved because I thought he looked especially ANGELIC!

He is the sweetest little guy, I can't wait to seem him on my upcoming visit to Boise this weekend!

Thank you Jones Family! We love sure love you guys!

SEASONS CHANGE

I've been a blog slacker when it comes to our family blog, and my goal is to remedy that! I am starting anew! Ever since I bought my new camera, I am PICKY! I look back on old pics and scoff at the quality! I admit to having a minor love affair with my new camera, because it can capture precious, everyday family moments in such a special way!

These pics were taken last sunday when we were blessed with the FIRST 'relatively' warm day of the season. Payton and Kade took advantage by going out to practice their golf swings.

Haha- Kade will scold me for posting these ones of him. He thinks he looks pretty silly in this BYU hat, but I find him DARLING and all the more endearing. (Sigh... didn't I marry a hot man???WOW!)

Payton can ignore me sometimes, but is usually pretty good at posing for the camera!




On their way to the pros!!!

The GEAR.

The The ultimate BYU Fan!

This was the previous week! Payton had such cabin fever. It was FREEZING, but sunny, and the snow had finally melted off of the street, so he BEGGED to go for a scooter ride. I tried out my new lens.. (mmmm, its divine BTW) and he lasted till the end of the road, got too cold, and quit. But it made for a nice, however brief, outing! I'm biased, but he's darling!

All our love,THE KLINGLERS

(hopefully posting more frequently-:( Sorry)
