We built a garden.

What do you do when you want a garden, but have critters everywhere?  This is our solution and so far, no critters have quite figured out what treasures lie inside.  Big thanks to my husband for not laughing at my idea, and taking my (detailed, maybe too detailed) sketches and turning them in to a reality.  Next year I plan to expand the garden and use electric wire to surround it, but keep treasures like tomatoes and melons in this raised garden.  All supplies purchased at Home Depot. 

Oklahoma Adventure- No. 4 Red Brick Nights

We lurve Guthrie.  Just a quick 15 minute drive from our house and a totally different world.  On the first Saturday of the month (through October?) they shut down downtown Guthrie for Red Brick Nights.  There are food trucks and bands and families.  Soooooo fun!  We happened to go on the 3rd of July, so there were also FIREWORKS.  The next day we went over to friend's houses to swim.   And I threw in a pic of Harvey with his awesome swim instructor, Tiffany Rains. 

All images shot on Walmart's finest Fuji Superia film with my handy dandy Canon Sure Shot A1.  A great waterproof point and shoot for when I want to relax and not think about apertures. 

Adventure Oklahoma- No. 3 State Capitol

This one is free!  And, honestly, July turns out to be a great time to go.  The building is almost empty.  We went for a breakfast at Kitchen 324 and then headed over to the capitol for some nice, free air conditioning.  And LOTS of stair climbing!!!  The kids LOVED the stairs.  I was surprised how much the kids like exploring around the state capitol building.  There are guided tours, but we just kicked around on our own.  Shot on an iPhone (because my film camera can't go through the x-ray thing they send your bag through).  

Yeah, about this tab...

Clearly, I have not been doing a very good job of keep up this here 'personal' tab.  But, it is important.  We are a family.  That is why we do what we do.  We want to help you preserve your family's narrative.  And our family is part of our product.  You need to see us, to know a bit about who we are...because, we will be right there during the most important days of your life.  With cameras.   There is an element of trust there.  And, trust is a two-way street.  

So, here you go, here is our family.  These are our two boys.  We are nuts about them (even when they drive us nuts).  And, they are why we pour our heart and soul in our business.  This is not a hobby.  This is how we provide for these two.  Its not something to be taken lightly.
