What therapy looks like to me.

from my sketchbook to you.

Seeing my big sister so happy and in love is probably the best thing. 

There couldn't be a better man to laugh and fool around and love Amber the way that Eric does.

And that makes me happy because I love my sister a lot.

So here are some of my favorite shots from this weekend when they let me follow them around with my camera.

Run.

For your life, for your joy, for your calm and peace of mind.

Run.

Because your legs are strong and your lungs are aching for the taste of air.

Run.

Because what's the point of a life spent walking in the middle?

Sometimes I look at my baby sister and think, "when did you grow up?!"

But really though.

It blows my mind.

She is growing up to be such a smart, beautiful, talented young lady and is one my very favorite people.

Here are some things I love about my sis that you might not know:

1.  She has an amazing singing voice.  You usually have to catch her in the act, or threaten her to sing for you, but when she does it's beautiful!

2.  She is really funny and doesn't have any problem looking silly or making fun of herself.  It's all part of her charm.

3.  She is a good friend.  She is loyal and will always stick up for the underdog.

4.  She can make some really weird faces.

5.  She is easy to please and just loves hanging out with the people she loves, no matter what they're doing.

6.  She loves and has a real interest and care for animals.  Something she and I have always shared a passion for.  I remember one time we went and got a pedicure and spent the whole time talking about different species of jellyfish. 

7.  She has a great sense of style.

8.  She loves to read and is currently working her way through the Harry Potter series.

9.  She has a strong testimony of the Gospel and a wisdom of what's right and wrong that is beyond her years.

10.  She remembers everything. Be careful what you say around Baylee because she can and she will use it against you... forever.

Scored these babies from the DI for $7 and I love them.

They were originally pant overalls, but with a little help from my dear friend Joe and a pair of scissors, they are now the perfect summer day outfit!

3 cheers for summa summa time!!

and overalls.

{a cup of cheer for me, please}

I just love all the Christmases.

ALL OF THEM.

I love when Kota wears her antlers.

She's so festive.

I love Christmas music.

I love when Krista & Ryan and the kiddos are in town.

Eliza & I playing 'princesses'

Bay & Sid sledding

I love Mexican food.

I love remembering why we have Christmas in the first place and the happy spirit that this time of year brings.

We also got a call from my little brother, TJ, who is serving a Mission in Oregon right now!!

We were all so excited to talk to him and hear his voice!

I miss hanging out with that kid all the time, but I couldn't be more proud of him.

I also got a letter from my cute friend, Diane, in the MTC who will be leaving for Costa Rica to serve the people there in just a couple weeks!

It was so great to hear from her. 

Her letters never fail to make me laugh out loud, she is hilarious!

Oh, and I also love onesies.

Jordan got me this sweet number from J. Crew and now I just want to wear it all the time!

 happy christmas!
