5 month old comparison

Jens 5 months

Quinn 5 months

We went to Temple Square on Wednesday night with some of our favorite people to see the lights. Ben & Amy made up curry before we went to warm us up---so yummy!

Oh those fat rolls!!! So cute!!!!!
My baby is already 5 months old! Its gone SOOO fast!

Was reading back over my blog trying to find a picture and ran across some of my "soapboxes."  Why doesn't anyone ever call me out on my self-righteousness and snobbery?   : ) I would call you out, of course.

Here's a little peak of Christmas at our house. Funny story about the green goblet. So I went to a
church activity last week and they had a "treasure trade" (bring your junk and if no one else wants it, it goes to DI). And a woman brought these goblets and I snatched them up as fast as I could. I loved them! My mom called me later that night and I told her how excited I was for these beautiful goblets. I saw the woman the next night and I told her how much I loved them. Turns out she got them from Arby's one Christmas. Buy a combo meal and get a glass type of thing.
I don't love them anymore.

 Daddy does the weirdest things... like make his baby stand in a drawer.


































Gave Quinn a faux-hawk the other night. I think its cute, but I'm worried it might perpetuate his bad-boy image. When it doesn't have any product in it, Thurm thinks he looks like a neo-nazi. So many problems with this haircut---might have to cut it soon.

Baby Jens's first taste of cereal. This picture is deceiving, he wasn't that thrilled or interested.

"And he called His name Jesus-Matthew 1:25"

This is my new photo that I've been working on : )



Artist's Statement

The idea for this unique nativity came to me nine months before I actually took the photograph.  When I found out I was pregnant with my second baby boy I knew that I wanted to take a fine art picture depicting a father and son.  As the concept grew, my thoughts turned to the Savior.  We tend to focus on the relationship between Jesus and his heavenly father, but the relationship between Him and his earthly father seems so special and unique too.  It was so amazing for Joseph to raise the Christ child knowing that He wasn’t his own flesh and blood. Joseph, who was entrusted to raise the Son of God, must have been a very righteous and kind man. I wanted to show in my photograph how much Joseph must have loved the holy infant.

The models in my photograph are actually my husband and newborn. Luckily, my husband has a very biblical look about him. The beautiful light of dusk and the rocky surrounding help give a richness and softness to the photo. It has the effect of being a painting.

This one of a kind nativity would make a wonderful Christmas present or a piece of fine art to hang year round.
