FUN.

Isn't it hilarious how kiddies just cant keep their gear on in summer?? Ivy is always burling around in the nicky-noo-nar in hot times especially when there is water from the hose involved. Good clean fun I say!
Cheers,
Lee :)

Great pic of everyone...looks like fun! Love the Simon story...

I drove up to my brother's house yesterday, just in time to watch his three year old son pull off the last of his clothes, in the front yard, and head off around the corner of the house. :0) Nice to know he isn't the only one who feels clothes are optional this summer!
Have fun in Provo!

LOVED that stage with my kids...nuttin' cuter than a little bum on a warm summer day. My all time favorite photo is one of my now 17 yr. old (He was 3ish at the time) with 2 of my oven mitts on his feet, standin' there like sugar in the raw. *LOVE* it. Grab the camera, before it's too late!

I live in salt lake city and am so tempted to stock the hotel...is that wrong? Its so hard to think that so many of you are having a party 30 minutes away. ENJOY!
btw i love that you used the word DUDE!

Have fun!!
happy belated anniversary too!!

I dont think many kids his age like keeping their gear on during summer - my little sister used to do it all the time.
If he is still doing it when he's 18....panic!

You groove on with your creative self, Ali. :)

Hey Ali--I was there at CKU "with" you for the first time and I loved it. Loved your class especially. Thanks for all the inspiration and motivation. I've met you a couple of times now. I am the gal from Oregon who told you that you were the only person I would wait in line for an autograph from--well, you and Donna. I'm hoping to go to CKU-A next year, and no, I'm not stalking you, but I will take your track if you're going to be there. I figure if I get your autograph often enough you'll eventually start recognizing me and eventually know my name (I was also the one who told you about the Daisy Bucket at the the Portland CK convention--I'm on their DT, and now also on the DT for Fancy Pants Designs--their stuff rocks!) I love your work, your photography, your design, and most of all your writing. Love that style. And I love that it is how you talk in real life. Very cool.

Isn't it fun doing what you love! Have a great time up there... (BTW -- only 35 days!!!)

What a great photo. Looks like you girls were having a hoot of a time. OHHHHH soooo need you all to come to Australia

Have a great trip Ali- can't wait to see your creations! I sure wish i could make the two peas event in Wi. But i'll be attending one of your classes in November - hopefully!

LOVE that photo--so cool. Love it when "film" (somehow "media card" just doesn't sound quite right) captures a perfect moment of fun. So jealous of everyone heading to CKU--I'm sure it will be a blast!

Hey Ali!
Can't wait to see the mini-book demo your going to do at the 2Peas Crop. I am all signed up and ready to go! See ya there!

Ahhh the running around naked phase. I've heard rumors that as a child I would go out the back door fully clothed and come in the front door naked. We lived next door to my best friend, a family that was very religious and were sure this was not a good sign for my future. I am happy to say I worked out all exhibitionist tendencies as a tiny child.

Have fun!

I enjoy your blogs, have fun sharing your talent with others.

Man, I so wish I was able to go! Maybe next year?
That Simon story cracks me up! Must be a boy thing.

Have fun in Provo - I'm so groovin to spend some quality scrapping time with you in Stamford in October :) Peace!

FUn pic of all of you! Have a great time at CKU :)
