My name is Audrey. I am a procrastinator, I enjoying embarrassing myself and others but I hate haaaaate (and get super embarrassed like hide in a hole and never come out) when people make fun of how I spell. I know I cant spell, leave it at that. Thanks jerks.

When I am mad I tell people I am going to punch them in their face and I wish that I would but I don’t. Cause I could kill them with the amount of shear power I have in these arms. Man, they’re tough.

I’ll pick on you when I really like you (as a friend dude, I am married. get off this. pssh.) I tend to be very funny and sarcastic but in “real life” I am super deep and tend to get lost in my mind and its hard to get out of it. I am also very artistic until I’m not, then I get depressed and feel like a freakin’ turd plus I love photography. A lot. Its all I talk about really (besides my son.)

This is Wyatt. He is three, he is talker, picky eater, loves to dance, laugh and dress up as different characters. He tells me that he loves me like poop poop butt. (which in boy talk means a lot) If he could he would watch movies all day and currently right now he is obsessed with Star Wars.

---

This is Cody, the husband.

---

He hates taking pictures, he hates attention, he hates food. basically he hates life. Hahaaa… just kidding but he does hate all those things. He is completely opposite from me. I am way out going and loud. He is completely shy and quite. I love big crowds. He likes hanging out with no more than 2 people at a time. He is a picky eater and I love food. You see where I am going with this? opposites attract. What can I say? Its nothing but entertaining and can cause some interesting fights. But man, do we love each other.

This blog is not only about my family but about my love for photography. I host Texture Thursday. A place to link up photos that you have added texture too or found natural texture in. I also love to display all the photos I take when Wyatt and I go on Spontaneous Adventures together.

Here are some of my all time favorite photos I have taken in the last year…

Plus I also do tutorials, Before and Afters, and How to’s so that you can learn a long with me.

I spent the day blowing bubbles.

I spent the day blowing bubbles with Wyatt, hiking, park hopping and spending time with the husband and good friends and while I was doing all this I was reminded about the other day at 4 in the morning when I had a thought…

I was blankly staring at the TV screen as my mind raced with the worries I have regarding work and a thought came to my mind that hit me with a ton of bricks.

---

“I should take more vacations.” simple, right? nothing profound. The thing is, is I have said this to myself a lot. But for one reason or another that night at 4 in the morning it rang true. so true it made me stop in my tracks.

---

---

I turned off the TV went to bed and when I woke up the next day, the first thought I had was…

“I should really take more vacations. like the good long kind.”

And as I was filing paper work, answering this email, hearing about that problem. I kept saying to myself over and over…

“Man, I really should take more vacations.”

---

---

By the end of my day, out of the blue, I received a text message from my mom that stated…

“Dad was able to get vacation time for June for the Zion trip. Everyone should come!” 

and I replied with a simple “I’m there.”

And not only did I say yes to that trip. I have said yes to the spontaneous day adventures with friends, family and of course my son.

because man, I should take more vacations even if its just to spend a day blowing bubbles with my son.

A Cheap Circus Adventure.

The Circus came to town. By circus I mean the cheap ticket, only 2 elephants, some tigers and those little ponies that go around and around and around in circles circus. There was not one clown. Not one. The acts seemed the exact same as the ones before it, the jugglers couldn't juggle and the tight ropers fell twice.

But all that didn't matter. Because we rode on an elephant, got our faces painted and our dinner consisted of corndogs, kettle corn, soda and a ton of cotton candy.

The kids watched in awe as the tigers jumped through the ring of fire, the circus ladies spun in the air just by their hair. There was motorcycle tricks, dog tricks, balancing acts and a whole lot of juggling.

It was fantastic. I sat next to my parents as we watched my niece and Wyatt watch in excitement. They didn't care that the juggler could barely juggle, that the tight roper fell by accident not on purpose and the clowns were forgotten.

To them, this was the most exciting show that they have ever been too and I hope they’ll remember every second of it.

Especially the elephant ride.
