Life February 28, 2012

Sorry we only update once a year. Blogging life has taken a backseat to our real life. These photos were recently developed from our old film camera. Each photo telling a raw and genuine story from events of our life.

For our one year anniversary, Loren planned a surprise hot air balloon ride at sunset.

Us eagerly awaiting our adventure above the clouds.

Dream come true.

35mm means you don’t get 23 tries to capture a decent photo.

“The winds have welcomed you with softness.
The sun has blessed you with his warm hands.
You have flown so high and so well,
That the gods have joined you in your laughter
and set you back again into the
loving arms of Mother Earth.” -Balloonist Prayer

My handsome husband.

Wedding rings 300 ft in the air.

Denver, CO shooting a family video of the beautiful Wilcox family.

Elitch closed. Sad day for this guy.

Colorado in the Fall is a wonderful experience.

Sometimes I like to pretend I am Martha Stewart. Autumn dinner party.

Bike riding with this little monster and her leopard pants with uggs.

Hunting down our first Christmas tree with my dad (frequent CA visitor).

Onesie pjs are a Christmas tree decorating must.

Loren’s fishing hole fishing companion (Greg).

The beautiful Lindsay Smart everyone!

Our New Year vacation getaway with our dear friends The Smarts.

I don’t condone killing animals… and yes, that includes fish.

We sleep in this 25 foot gem every Christmas break in Boise, ID.

My parents bought this van in 1984. They used this vehicle to transport their 6 children (including me) to every state in the nation (except Hawaii, duh). 2 days before Christmas, Loren begged my dad to drive it. 7 minutes after we got home from taking it downtown to a diner… it blew up. This photo was taken the day after.

God is Love at Salvation Mountain. Loren surprised me for my birthday and took me to this beautiful place that I have been wanting to go to for years.

LOVE.

 

Life takes on a whole new meaning, when a man dedicates his life to constructing this mountain out of recycled material and his love for God.

I spy…

Shoe tree.

The birthday extravaganza continued on bikes to the ACE hotel. In love with this place.

Moving to California means we have an excuse to be Disneyland season pass holders.

Shaving this mop real soon.

Disneyland Christmas edition is 10x cooler than normal Disneyland.

He makes all my dreams come true.

Every day he visits us he has to get his 4 mile beach walks in.

One long neck looking at another.

All i wanted was a real baby giraffe for my birthday. Loren couldn’t find one… so he bought me this. I’m not disappointed in the slightest.

Beach side camping.

Loren with Tavish and Marshall for a morning surf.

Introducing: the boys.

Introducing: the girls.

The movies depict it all wrong. This is really what married life looks life.
