Breakfast talk

I had to laugh at these pictures. My husband, his sister's family and his cousin's family all had a weekend up at our family lodge. Sunday morning I was sitting at the table with my camera when Chloe (my niece) and Stone (my 2nd cousin) came to sit with me. I took pictures while the 3 of us had a very intellectual conversation about life. It mostly consisted of favorite foods and toys. The world according to a couple of 3 year olds! At the end of the weekend Stone proclaimed to us all, "Chloe is my girlfriend AND my cousin! " We were laughing so hard. Stone is just a stitch!

Christmas has gone to the dogs!

When the dogs see me take the camera out, there is usually a look of panic that flashes in their eyes. I think these pictures are probably why.

Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas! From our home to yours! I'm sharing a few of my favorite details of Christmas around our home. I made this wreath out of scraps of fabric for the front door. I really wanted a wreath and didn't have time to buy one, so I got creative! I used a hanger for the form. I really wish I would have had more time for more projects!



My mom and I went shopping a few weeks ago, and upon arrival home we were greeted with this. We were both laughing so hard, and I thought Bry had done it on purpose. I guess he had his hands full and the very old pumpkin fell in that way. It looks like Oscar the Grouch!

My blooming Christmas cactus plant. This plant is off of my Great Grandmother's plant, so it's off a plant that's over 50 years old! I think it's called an heirloom plant if you can take a part off and it sprouts a new plant. Pretty amazing! Even more amazing, I haven't killed it yet!

Home for Christmas

Here is my Mom and Dad (Tami and Todd Kuchera). I got a call from my Mom about Christmas cards and she wanted some pictures in their new home. Mom is also on Facebook now and she wanted a new profile picture too. They grow up so fast, don't they?! They have not had pictures taken of just the two of them since they were first married! So, I came over to the new house and got some pictures. It was just a short little shoot, but we had fun joking around. I'll have to post a picture of the cards too, because they are really cool!

Leave it to the Sikorski's

Ben and Krista are our best friends. We were all up at the lodge and I asked them if I could take some pictures of them and they reluctantly said yes. We had a lot of fun goofing around and experimenting. After torturing them for an hour or so they cut me off. I think these pictures are really fun, playful and reflect Ben and Krista's personality. Thank you Ben and Krista! You are wonderful models!
