how to spell summer: l-a-z-y

Summer has been busy going here and there but most of my favorite memories are just lazing around at home! We plan on doing that lots this weekend.

Laughing at Collin's toe nail polish left over from our Lake Powell trip. More evidence of what an awesome daddy he is to let his girls paint his nails. ahaha


We started our Something Splendid felt cupcakes class on Wednesday. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when Collin films and edits the video and includes out takes and embarrassing moments from filming. He does an awesome job making it fun!

Here's one of my favorite videos that he filmed during a family photo session. There's something about videos that really captures everyones personality and creates emotion. Many of Collin's clients are out of state so if you are in Utah or if you live further away you need one of these priceless videos of your family! !!
Since Lola can sit up (and crawl and pull herself up onto things to stand) I am off to book my session now too. Here's his email: Collin@MakeSomethingSplendid.com
You can thank me later. ;)

    You guys are soooo talented! That video is awesome Collin!! Aparently Utah is the place to be. Maybe even if I get close to Utah, I might be a little cooler. Maybe the creative, crafty, talent will rub off on me.....

    Liz, Tell me you are related to that woman cause there's some crazy resemblance. The video made me tear up and I don't even know them. Now that's beautiful. Great work Collin!

    I.Love.That.Video. The song, the setting...perfection. An idea for Collin, we had one made at a carnival here in AZ and we loved it!!! The kids watch it all the time and I am so happy to have created such a fun and lasting memory. I will get one done every year! You can see ours here
