{From the backyard} Challenging times Stretched thin Tired That is when we show what we are made of, right? That is when we  collapse under the weight of it all... Or we can blossom We can breathe deep and show our true colors to the world. What are your true colors?...
This weekend a dear friend met my momma and daddy. She shared their meeting on her blog and I'd love for you to head on over and read about my sweet parents... Love you, Cindy! Thank you for the sweetest post ever! Kate
We have company in town this weekend, the perfect time to try out a new recipe! I made Baked Chicken Legs and Black Bean Salsa. We spent the day outside at the pool together, so something fresh and healthy sounded perfect. I chopped two Roma tomatoes, 1/4 of an onion...
If we were able to sit down for coffee today, I would go on and on about the hummingbirds. The hummingbirds are very active right now. They are everywhere. Have you ever listened to a hummingbird? It's amazing. It is a high pitched trill. Like a sweet little whistle...
You may remember Amelia from her first birthday shots a while ago... These are her beautiful sisters. Aren't their eyes amazing?! Have a wonderful day! Kate

The Picnic in the Park Sessions were amazing! Spending time with friends, photographing children and a beautiful day at the park. Who could ask for more?! A sweet friend from work brought her daughters. Aren't they beautiful?! Harper reminds me so much of Julia....
I wish I could get closer to these crazy birds for you. Gambel Quail. They are the silliest birds I have ever met. They run. They refuse to fly even if you practically drive over them. I'll try and get closer for you, ok? Have a great day! Kate
Those curls and those eyes! Amazing. Izzy and Millie, you are beautiful. Their little personalities are so precious! They shine brightly with smiles and giggles. Have a great day! Kate
Aren't they stunning? They are so yellow. So bright and beautiful right now. This is a Palo Verde in full bloom. Beautiful. These trees brighten up all of the desert right now. It makes me think of the song: "I'm walkin' on sunshine..." Hugs!...
Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Matthew 6:26 St. Bernard's held a celebration for 1310 AM, honoring one year of Catholic radio in Phoenix....
On our walk today, let's go just a little further, ok? This is our little green space in the neighborhood. It is still pretty strange to me that everyone has rocks in their front yard instead of grass. Some days I just need to feel the grass between my toes. Ya know?...

I'm going to take you on a walk through the neighborhood! Come with me, ok? Yup, flip flops are just fine. Crazy catus flowers. During the day, they open wide up, then at sunset, the close up again. Crazy awesome purple tree. Nope, I don't know what it is. But it is...

Amelia, Â it was so fun to meet you! You are precious! Your mom is a sweetheart and your grandmother is one of my favorite people on this planet! I know you have a very beautiful life ahead! Blessings, Kate
I walked around the corner and found Nate leaning on Julia's shoulder... just learning and watching. I am blessed. And at peace. Knowing they will be friends, just like my brother and I were. Hugs to you and happy Friday! Kate
While the kids were practicing, Brian and I wandered down the street just to take a quiet walk together. Do you know what we found?! Father Junipero Serra, established Mission San Juan Capistrano on November 1, 1776, over 230 years ago. The story begins in 1775, when...
