This summer, Andy & I went on a cross-country road trip, ala Thelma & Louise. Except we didn’t drive the car off of the cliff at the end. Our destination was Kentucky. Along the way we had many fine adventures, but there is one that sticks out in my head. On the second, or...

Yes, you are correct. That is the longest title for a post on the blog. Ever. And, it’s kind of herky-jerky (is that a term…judges?), but that’s OK. It’s my blog, and I’ll herk if I want to. But that’s not why we’re here. We’re here to talk...

Is there any better way to spend an afternoon than with the lovely and talented Kylee? Seriously, like, how awesome is it to hang with someone as friendly as Kylee, strolling through the hazy crazy downtown, and then back to the FunCenter for some sweetsweetstudiosnaps! But, it is not just...

Our Thursday morning past continued with a visit from the one and only, the lovely and talented, Jenna! She did not come down here to sell us Girl Scout cookies, or to just hang out and see how it is that a FunCenter works (I’ll let you in on a secret…Tab Energy…just ask...

I can’t wait for their wedding. Seriously. I can’t. I wish it could be next summer now. Seriously. Look at these two. Wowza’s. Holy. Gorgeous. [but] I will have to wait. But I will have these sweetsamplesnaps to temper my impatience. Vince…and Laura…you guys rock....

As for me, I’m voting for all three. And I’m gonna vote three times. In three states. That’s how good he was, and is. I know the legal implications of my statement…I know that it is frowned upon to vote in multiple elections, but that’s the risk that I am...

Why do the birds sing…why do the cars honk…why does the sun always shine on us…why are our Seniors so awesome?? These are the questions that we keep coming back to time and again, and I’m not sure that I’m ever any closer to getting an answer, as some questions...

Tuesday evening…yes, I think it’s a perfect time to welcome a SweetSenior by the name of Tiara to the FunCenter…yes, Tuesday evening is the best time for this…but wait…on second thought, any evening, or for that matter, any day would be the best time to welcome...

Our Monday Monday past came to a lovely conclusion with a visit from new friends of Otis & James, none other than Tom & Pam! I know that all of you, my faithful bloggerites, are smart…smaht people. I know this because you are a bloggerite, and by default that makes you...

Is there simply a word that could describe our time with Andrew? Is there something that could be put in the midst of a sentence that could describe the experience that was our SuperSeniorSnapTime with this lovely young man? Isn’t this the question that writers have been asking for...

How are you on a Monday morning? Do you jump out of bed, with the happy thoughts of a new week filling your head, as you run through your house spreading sunshine and joy, all the while singing show tunes about ‘beautiful mornings’…or do you sit on the edge of your bed...

Is it time? What’s that…it is!! I’ll race you to the WayBack Machine – come along now, because our destination is a land and time far away from here. Have you ever been to the mythical land that is called Hazen? What’s that…you haven’t?? Well, are...

This past weekend, we traveled to the far east, to a land that is known as the Grand Forks, and we didn’t do it for hockey, or sugar beets, or, any number of other thingst that they do in these forks so grand, no no no, we made this epic journey for one reason, and one reason...

Now, my children of the blog, it is time to load ourselves into the o&j WaybackMachine (WBM), and to set the dials (yes, we have dials still) to a land that we shall call not this Saturday past, but this past Saturday past. Which would make it two Saturdays ago. In case that was too...

Again, we fired up the o&j WayBack Machine, and set the controls for a space and time that was known as Friday Friday past, and it wasn’t just so we could get back to the way things used to be on the Sixth of October…the glory days that used to be…no, no…our trip...

This past Sunday evening, our rare day of sun at the office continued with a visit from the lovely couple Cale & Brianne, and special guest star Caden! What, oh what was the reason for all of this photographic aweseomosity to be occuring, you ask? It was for the sweet sweet e.pics of our...
