photo booth love

warning: picture overload!

I love Photo booth on my mac. There have been a lot of random moments that both tots are sitting with me on the couch and I think, "this is a photo booth moment".

Exhibit A..
I had no makeup on that day. so don't look too closely please :]

 Exhibit B

Occasionally we'll even make a little spur of the moment video!

One thing I love about Photo Booth is that its a quick way to look at pictures from a LONG time ago. and to see my past hair cuts.

Single & cool, yo

Back in college when I would take pictures in class.

A few weeks before we moved out of Rexburg. I was really stressed out so I sat down to photo booth with Talmage and was instantly happy :]

 Photo booth also has a lot of cool effects. Back in the days, I would have a lot of fun with that.

my personal favorite.

Ever since Talmage turned 2, he has been extremely wary of the effects. They suddenly freak him out and he runs away screaming if I try and take a "distorted" picture with him. He is super sensitive like that. But he used to be cool with it.

He was such a delicious baby

what I may have felt like with twins...

My favorite person to take pictures with on photo booth is my forever big sister Megan. We would take so many pictures and laugh until we nearly peed our pants.

Meggy and me!

So many favorite memories were caught on photo booth.

Like when I had ducks in my college apartment. Samsung and Delilah. They were good ducks.

My first picture with Jonathan. Romantic, isn't it?

The night I was given my beautiful wedding ring and an "official" proposal from that adorable boy. Of course the first thing we did was go to Megan and Daniel's and take an obnoxious picture of the rock on my finger.

My ever growing belly of our first child.

Being a total dork with the hubby. A lot of those I couldn't even show.

Anyone else obsessed with their photo booth application?

4th of July weekend

Every year we try and make the 4th a FANTASTIC day. We have gone to baseball games with fireworks, had big BBQs with friends, watched parades, etc. This year wasn't as exciting. The 4th is one of my favorite holidays and all, but it doesn't get dark here until 10 pm (way past the kiddos' bedtime) so we just stayed at home for the most part.

In fact, the morning of the 4th really sucked. We tried going to a few places that just didn't work out. It was stressful. I wanted to go home. So we did and I just made food the rest of the day. It was wonderful food but I was a little sad we had no one to eat it with us. Ah well.

After eating the ton of food that I made (wayyy too many leftovers), we took Talmage and Charlotte to the park and snapped a few more pictures. It was a nice and relaxing day.

That night after we put them in bed, Jonathan and I watched some fireworks from our street and put on Transformers 3 (which is sort of patriotic..I guess?) To be honest I hate the Transformers movies...but it was entertaining enough :]

The rest of the weekend was more fun. My brother Brock and his wife Layla drove from Seattle just to visit with us for a few days. It was great to see them and spend time with them since we've lived so far from them before we moved here.

We had lots of fun bumming at the beach, shopping, taking a few urgent trips to Sonic, and just enjoying the beautiful sunny hot weather.

I hate that I didn't get any pictures of them. My camera was dead and stuck in a corner of our trunk. poo. I just found it today. Guess we'll have to take a trip to Seattle pretty soon!

Today was CRAZY! Jonathan and I both gave talks, then we went to teach Primary, and now we are headed out to dinner with a family from the ward. It will be nice to relax this week and focus on applying for jobs. That's right...Jonathan won't be working here at the hospital, so he's on the search for a job that will mostly likely mean ANOTHER MOVE. yay...?


edit****** I stole some pics of the beach this weekend from my brother.

yep, that's my son running away...

Brock & Layla. Aren't they cute? We're so glad we got to see them!
