winter

today has been a rough day. and i fear that it isn't over yet. bad news keeps on coming and my brain works less and less as the minutes pass. 

it's days like this when i need to be grateful for moments like these...

 on a rainy sunday. 

wearing our new beanies. 

we had a bit of kissin' to do. 

man i love this boy.

isn't he cute? 

the weather is getting colder around here & this means more snuggling on long winter nights. 

i. love. it.

and hopefully i will burn off all this negative energy in spin class tonight. if i get to the gym & spin is canceled you might just see me sitting in the corner crying. seriously. 

the olson family.

the olson family shoot is up on the photography blog. see more here. 

it's time

 today is pie baking day. every year, on the night before thanksgiving my sisters, my mom and me all get together and make pies. i am so excited! and this year we have a new addition to the group... i wonder if i will want to bake anything with sweet little brylee hanging around.

Happy Thanksgiving!

last saturday was a great day. one of the best. we woke up late. snuggled & read in bed. went for a 3 mile jog. headed to bruxie for brunch. they just opened a new location on birch street & we had to check it out. tyler had never been & i couldn't take him not knowing the goodness of bruxie any longer. 

then we headed to la. i did the olsen's photo shoot & then we headed to little tokyo to make a dinner reservation to surprise tyler's dad for his 61st birthday. while we waited we stopped into starbucks to get our annual christmas cup of cocoa. we waited for the rest of our party to arrive while sipping our hot chocolate in the rain. it was magical. 

then it was feast time. at shabu shabuyo. oh and judd is already wearing the shirt we gave him for his birthday... he is in the navy & tan plaid.

then it was shopping in little tokyo...

we found these little gems... they were white gloves & arm covers. we see ladies driving around with these all the time. it was funny to find them in the store. 

brylee's blessing day

our niece brylee sue clausen was blessed last sunday. it was a wonderful day for our family. we love this little girl & her parents so much. we all feel the joy she brings to our family. morgan did a wonderful job bestowing a blessing upon her. i am so grateful for the priesthood holders in our family. 

 brylee, 

thanks for coming to our family. i love you SO much and we are so excited to watch you grow. thanks for making me laugh & letting me snuggle you. 

love, 

aunt amy

just a kiss

it was 5 years ago today that i kissed that sweet face for the very first time. oh what a magical night it was. it was on a thursday night, after we watched the office and grey's anatomy (which is still a tradition of ours by the way). i remember him leaving for a weekend trip and leaving me wanting more kisses. 

let's just say we kissed a lot the night he returned. 

here's to many more years together and lots of kissin!
