I have the coolest family. Cooler than yours. There I said it.

Check out this video my little sister Heather created! With music by my brother, SnySny.

Each one of my siblings is extremely artistic in one way or another. Often in almost every possible way. It’s awesome.

But we really, really suck at softball. Sorry, Dad.

For anyone who doesn’t see me regularly, I wanted to show off my dog, Captain. (Captain Flint, officially) He’s the most cuddly, beautiful, quirky dog ever! All he ever wants to do is be right where we are. We love him. How could you not?! Big and white and mine. No, you can’t have him.

My favorite thing is his golden eyes. They’re very unique and extremely expressive. Not to mention those white eyelashes!

Captain is a Wolf-Dog. Or Wolf Hybrid, as they’re sometimes called. (timber wolf and gray wolf) He’s probably about %20 wolf. (though there isn’t really any way to tell) He’s also got oodles of malemute and husky. Honestly, the percentages don’t matter. He’s just a part of the family. We got him at 3 months old, and he grew and grew!! When standing next to me, his back is about at about my hips. The Captain is really fun to walk; I get lots of double takes. Heh heh heh.

And, lucky for me, he’s only a year old. I get to have him for many years to come.

I made a little Captain video. Because I like visual aids.

The music is “Remy Drives a Linguini” by Michael Giacchino from Ratatouille.

A side note – This is not a breed for beginner dog owners! Or for anyone who is impatient. As wonderful as The Captain is, he’s a lot of work. He needs a lot of attention, discipline, exercise, and loves. So, just in case anyone out there thinks they want one, just do me a favor. Do your research! There are so many different breeds of dog, all wonderful in their own way, and you have to match the breed to your personality and lifestyle. …Ok, sorry. Lecture over.

He’s such a sweet dog. We’re so lucky to have found him! (yay KSL) One day, I’m sure I’ll end up getting a little friend for him. Perhaps a border collie or a golden retriever. Only time will tell!

How about you people? Any dogs, cats, rodents, or reptiles at home? I love them all, so do tell!!

Last Sunday, my sister Jen and I went up the canyons near her house to have some fun. We’re dorks, and we love skipping about in the woods whenever we can. Who doesn’t, right?

Well, Jenny happens to be an extremely talented photographer so we did a little photo shoot, just for kicks. I love doing this! She knows how to make it fun, capture the moment, AND how to compose a picture properly.

I’ll be honest – The entire time, I felt beautiful. She made me feel that way, taking so many pictures. There is a strange cultural phenomena where girls can’t admit that they feel pretty without somehow being stuck on themselves. That’s just wrong! This doesn’t apply to everyone of course, but as a whole, we need to be more ok with feeling confident with ourselves. Inside and out.

I’m all for being modest. But at the same time – we women are excellently talented in the field of seeing the beautiful things in others. That’s the way I feel, anyway. So, here’s a quick remeinder:

You are Beautiful. You. And so am I. And there is no need to apologize.

Ok, enough of that. Just sayin’. I felt very special, and we had a lovely time!

If you ever need a good photographer with an artistic eye for any reason, contact her. I’m not just saying that because she’s my big sister. She’s freakishly cool, you’ll love her.

My beautiful sister in law, Mercedes, is getting married this Spring! Brandon is quite a catch, girl. Well done, Sades!

She was sweet enough to ask me to paint a small illustration for her invitations. With her permission, I’m posting the options I gave her.

I’m not sure which one she’ll be using just yet.

Wager a guess?
