T and K Peters Family!

I had a blast last month taking Travis and Kim's family portraits! Here are a few of the 177 photos I took!

I don't have them all downloaded,(computer difficulties!BIG SURPRISE!) but here are a few of my favorites!

Celebrating the pending birth of Redd!

 

 

Yesterday, we had a small intimate gathering for Tristen at "Dear Lizzie", a restaurant in Highland, Utah. In twelve days Tristen will be giving birth to her fourth baby and third boy within the past five years. We are all excited and anxiously waiting to see yet another beautiful little face produced by Adam and Tristen! Cade, Luke and Pyper are ready to welcome their new little brother into their hearts and home. Adam and Tristen are feeling a little overwhelmed, but we have every confidence that they will rise up to the blessing and challenge of four children! It was especially fun to see Mikel and Lily, as well as, Tristen's good friend, Jen. Of course, we missed our dear Telisa and we would love to have had Stephanie make a surprise visit! We all took turns holding Owen Howard!aka (mini Treavor) Redd William Van Leeuwen is being named after his Grandpa Peters' long line of Redd descendants.

A Face Lift!!!

 

 

 

 

...NO, not me! (although, I have been told recently I could use a few hundred injections of botox in my face!!? NO THANKS!) My bedroom. Having the desire to constantly improve and update, but seriously lacking the funds to do so, I usually head to my sewing machine or tap into some mild creativity given to me by my Grandma Smith, I find a way to change things up a bit. This time, I sewed some new pillows for my bed with fabric made of drapery panels I purchased at Target, as well as, some fabric purchased at a Discount Fabric store called Home Fabrics! Also, I took the red trim off my drapes and replaced it with gold and black trim! Took some of my old furniture out of my room and replaced it with other pieces from my office and family room. Just a few minor adjustments, but I love it and I am pretending I just purchased a very expensive new bedroom set! In my kitchen, I wanted to put tile above my countertop. That idea was vitoed after the quotes came in, so for $80 I wallpapered! Not my first choice, but what can you do? The old paper had been there for 16 years--time for a change! Next up, I took a little money that I had earned from my Kathryn's Photography and purchased some beautiful black and gold fabric at Home Fabrics and am having this sweet man from Mexico recover two very comfortable, but fabrically challenged chairs that will eventually go into my family room. Someday, maybe I will be able to sit in a room and not look around and figure out a way to make it better! It's a sickness!
