My husband is deeply passionate about the Cub Scouts. He could not wait until our 2nd child (first son) was in first grade so that he could start him up in Cub Scouts and be there right by his side. I thought that sounded great — Cub Scouts seemed like a really neat way for the two of them to spend time together, learn some great stuff, and go on fun field trips! I wasn’t in Girl Scouts, so I really had no idea what they were going to be doing, or what the Scouts were really all about. Let me tell you, our son LOVES it!! But, his dad may love it even more!! He dove head first into helping with everything he could, and he has even earned a big leadership award (SO proud of him)! He is the leader of a Den… or Pack… or both… I still don’t know all of their lingo. I had no idea how intense the Pinewood Derby race could be. I had no idea you could earn so many beads and patches. But those boys are learning tremendously great life lessons and morals and values and I love it! We planted a tree on their school grounds to celebrate the Boy Scouts 100th Birthday a few weeks ago. Soon it will have a plaque and hopefully the tree will be growing for generations to see. And my sweet guy and his awesome dad helped plant it.

smiles…contagious {fresno clovis wedding photographer}
April 26, 2010
Seriously… when you look at a photo of someone smiling, don’t you find yourself smiling back? I mean, of course I am not suggesting that the person in the photo can see you… that would just be crazy talk. But I find smiles are so contagious!! This is one of my all-time favorite photos… it is from my early years, so its not the best photo I’ve ever taken, but I just love the happiness that is oozing out of it! This photo of this bride’s smile totally captures her personality… simply beautiful!
If you would like to add some more smiles to brighten your day (and who doesn’t??), please visit I Heart Faces !

Was she the bride or one of the guests? Perhaps she found true love…

Perhaps it is a reflection of her contentment, finally finding true love…

It is a common theme… M&M’s seem to make an appearance when children are getting their photo taken. Or atleast sugar of some kind. Yes, sometimes it causes a nice gooey chocolate mess all over a white shirt, but hey, the child is happy!! And we all like photos of happy children, right?? We enjoyed M&M’s at this family shoot, and they once again worked their magic. Even though it was SO cold, everyone managed to smile through the shivering! Seriously, such a beautiful family… you look like you all stepped out of a fashion magazine… and I had such a wonderful time meeting everyone! Towards the end of the shoot, we had GORGEOUS early evening light, and I was snapping away in the field, adoring the way the soft rays were making golden skin tones and terrifically blue skies, when it happened. I sunk my feet into something gushy… one of the cow patties that we had just been talking about trying to avoid. Fortunately only two people were around to see me humiliate myself… but hey, it was worth it! Shoes and white shirts can all be washed, and precious photos remain for a lifetime.

Both my hubby and I were not involved in any uniform groups. My eldest was briefly a Brownie (like a Girl Scout) but she quit, because she felt uncomfortable with all the activities that required her to go door to door (do jobs, sell cookies, etc). Maybe we will have another shot with Narelle.
