Sunflowers and Sagebrush

"No More Pictures,"-Daniel

Boise has the best sunsets!

We live in the most beautiful state. My mom and I went on a 10 mile bike ride yesterday morning, and stumbled across this random patch of sunflowers in the middle of the desert and sagebrush. We knew we had to come back and snap some pictures at sunset-(it was all her idea, she has such a creative eye!). I don't think I've ever seen a little boy who could make sunflowers look so cool.

I hardly touched these photos for editing. If I did it was to barely adjust the exposure. I just loved how simple and natural they looked right out of my little camera.

I am going to miss Idaho dearly. Oh and happy birthday to our brother, Elder Johnson who is serving an LDS mission in London. We love you!

Summer Before England: Part 1

The memories of this summer are what I will be holding onto when we move to England in a few short weeks. I'm so grateful we moved back from Pennsylvania when we did, so we could spend just the right amount of time with our families before moving across the pond. This video is mostly the first part of our summer, and then some. From being caught in a huge storm in the middle of the lake, playing "straight arm and leg football" in grandma and grandpa J's yard, to spending the 4th of July in Oregon-the place of my childhood memories. This summer has been a good one-maybe not the luckiest summer of our lives, but more on that later. The clips of great Grandma June are the last videos that were taken of her. She passed a few days ago in her sleep. She is now reunited with Grandpa Boyd. I'm sure that was one happy reunion. Love you Grandma June xoxo.
