First of all, one of my best friends Tania came up with her family from Tucson and took beautiful engagement pictures of Briana and her fiance Eric. They are AMAZING and hands down my favorite engagement pictures I've ever seen. Plus it helps they are such a gorgeous couple. Here are a few highlights of the shoot:
Disclaimer on the first picture: This was my idea for an engagement picture but she stole it or rather I let her borrow it. So when I use it for one of my engagement pictures later on just know that I am NOT copying her. :) Another fun fact about this photo is that Eric restored this vintage bike for her for Christmas. Amazing!
Next, the big news in Rachel's life is that she got her braces off! She has always looked super cute but she looks so grown up now! She's a beauty!
Speaking of beauties...Lauren got all dolled up today and went to prom. I had to post a lot of pictures because quite honestly she looked STUNNING and I want to show her off.

(Um, Lauren you're kind of far away from your date!)
Wow, I really do have some good looking sisters!
And finally I've been trying to be more crafty/domestic so I wanted to show you a few things I've been working on in my spare time (this has been a series of projects over the last five months or so)...
The following bike painting and typewriter key paintings were copied from a Pottery Barn catalogue. They were way too expensive to buy, so I just used them for inspiration and made my own versions!
You can't really tell how cool this next project was from the picture so I'll just describe it to you. It cost me $2.00 to make. I bought a styrofoam wreath and book from the dollar store and then made a wreath from the pages of a book. I felt a little bad for tearing apart the book since my mom always taught us that "books are our friends" but trust me it wasn't great literature in the first place. :)
And finally, sunflower cupcakes that I made this weekend. They're from this adorable cookbook called "Hello Cupcake" and I've been dying to try something from it.
As you can see we're keeping busy and loving life!
