7:52 Motivational Monday

Whatever comes from the heart carries the heat and color of its birthplace.

We were in Costa Rica on Valentines Day.  On this day, the resort we stayed at decorated with candles, balloons, flowers, lights and on and on.  Kinda cheesy to have hubby pose in this heart, but thought it perfect for this post. :-)  His heart is mine as mine is his.

Head on over to Amber in AK.

A fun day with the Girls...

My most favorite thing ever in the winter, is to head out snowshoeing.  Love it! On this particular day it was the first time a couple of these gals had ever been to the flattops in the winter. And, it was Rachael's first time out. So that makes the trip that much better! Plus, we went on a gorgeous afternoon. Which means the light isn't near as bright, and makes for some fun pictures!

Al getting ready to head out! She loves snowshoeing also!

Love this lighting! Bright and soft at the same time!


Trudging along.

1..2..3.. run. They made it 3 feet and wiped out!  Quite hilarious.


Really enjoying themselves.

Rachael's first snowshoe.  Loved it!

These two were a like a couple of little kids.  There's nothing wrong with that, just makes for some great entertainment!


Getting some help with stretching.


Our tree hugger. ;-)


Self timer group shots...


Now it's time for a back flop into the snow.

This one cracks me up!  Naomi obviously had some momentum.

Brr! White wash!

Well hello there.



Good times!


Sun started going down.  Love love love this time of day!

Having a good time with one of my favorites!

Ok...as if walking isn't hard enough, lets just do some skipping. :-)


 Sparkly landscape. 

My Sis in law being a bit of a nerd!

Beautiful sky at sun down.

One more self timer.

Did I say yet that this is my favorite part of a day?! :-)

After a foot or two of fresh snow, the woods are so quiet and peaceful! 
I'm linking up to Amber again.

Sweet Princess...

 Every once in a while a friend or family member will ask me to take pictures of their kiddos.   I love it!  Baby/kids are pure joy to photograph.  Especially if they don't know the word cheese! 
What you get is usually their genuine true personality.  This is my sweet lovely little niece.  
Isn't she beautiful?!

My favorite! So so sweet.

Here's a cheese for Mom.


She has the biggest most beautiful eyes!

Love you baby!






Lindzi love...

These are a few pictures I took of this darling little lady a few weeks back.  She was a mover, had to snap fast!  
Love this one.  


I love this age!

Hey there sweet girl.








Thanks Jess for trusting me with these pictures!  I had so much fun taking them.  She made it so easy with her adorableness and sweet personality.
