Arcade Fire

 

i just went to one of the best concerts of my life! it was so much fun. really, just was amazing. i am still on a high from it all ... i'm just still overwhelmed by how amazing it all was that i can't possibly put it in to anymore words. never going to forget this night. i'll leave it at that.

picnic

today we had a picnic
... instead of doing homework.
& it was great

i love springtime!

april

last weekend we went up to midway for a few days to see family and watch conference. while we were up, i did a little photo shoot of anna (for a school project). she is such a pretty girl.

it was a much needed, great, weekend. and it got up to 65 degrees on friday! i am so excited it is finally april! you have no idea. i've always thought that march feels like the longest month of the year. april means it's finally spring, and i am loving this sunny springweather.
