Layla Grace Marsh (how you can help!)

Dear friends,

I’m sure most of you are familiar with the heartbreaking story of sweet Layla Grace Marsh.  www.laylagrace.org Her story has captured the hearts of so many of us over the past year, and the news of her passing on March 9th was simply devastating.

If you’re like me, you want a way to offer support to this grieving family.  I’ve recently been re-introduced to the Tupperware company through my dear friend, and Tupperware consultant, Elizabeth Boyd.  I am excited to have the chance to organize a simple fundraiser through Tupperware to benefit the Marsh family.  Attached is a link to a special fundraising catalog.  As you will quickly see, Tupperware has come a long way since the days of the burping, burnt-orange containers in our mother’s cabinets!  There are many fun, functional (and I daresay fashionable) products available to choose from.  The best part? Tupperware will donate 40% of all sales directly to the family of Layla Grace.  Their mounting medical debt is undoubtedly overwhelming, and I know that any assistance they receive is a blessing.

All orders can be placed and paid for online, and the products will be delivered directly to you.  Please take a moment to click on the link below and consider making a purchase.  Not only will you be delighted with your new Tupperware, but you will be supporting a precious family in need during their darkest days.  The last day to order for the fundraiser is this Friday, March 19th, so please don’t hesitate!

Please share this link with anyone and everyone!  If you have any questions about products or the fundraiser itself, don’t hesitate to ask.

With love,
Janica Boles

Cassie and Rick

I dare say that Spring (and loooove) is in the air.

Finally.:)

Cassie and Rick, much like the newly budding flowers, are a breath of fresh air.

And they’re dang cute, too.

I wish they would just loosen up…

Cassie.  Gorgeous.

Did you happen to notice the laughter in these pictures?  I just adore a couple who can share giggles, snorts, and belly laughs with the greatest of ease.  Cassie and Rick made arrangements with the lovely folks at the Showboat Drive-in Movie Theater to hold our session there.  We had the run of the place!   We dodged some rain showers and may have pretended that it was warmer than it really was…but all in all, it was GOOD TIMES.  Cassie is best buddies with my best buddy, Alicia.  It was so fun to re-connect with an old friend of a friend.

(Well that’s just silly, Janica.  After all these years, I’d say Cassie has officially graduated to a first-generation friend.;))

Cassie and Rick, I can’t wait to hear all about your amazing Hawaiian wedding ceremony.  It all sounds completely magical.

♡ As it should be. ♡

Rachael Earl - So cute! Some of those last ones remind me of the movie theater scene in Grease (in a good way!) Love them!

Chelle & R - These pictures are adorable…of course I’m probably not the most objective person! You guys reallyn do photograph well. Make sure we get some of these!

3…2…1…

BLAST OFF!

We shot a rocket today…what did you do?:)

The following video was shot during the rocket’s maiden voyage.  Please note my panic and instant camera-drop in the moments following lift-off when I was 95% certain that the rocket was going to come crashing down on my daughter’s head.  Moments later, however, the parachute dislodged and the rocket drifted gracefully, and harmlessly, to the ground.  My triumphant “WHOA!” is when I realized we were in the clear.

Nerdy.

Chrystal - Great to see the Christmas gift put into action!! Looks like you guys had fun!

Micah + Sam

If you think that Micah and Sam appear to be a perfectly adorable couple…

…then you are 100% correct.

She’s the mac to his cheese. He’s the pb to her j.

And they’re getting MARRIED!

The future Mr. and Mrs. Jones.

A match made in….any guesses?;)

So THAT’S what warm and fuzzy looks like.

Micah and Sam, you crazy kids are just plain awesome together.

Micah is a brilliant artist and such a gentle, caring soul. She has this knack for making people feel at ease…she’s good company. Sam is a bit of a prodigy in the music department. He passionately serves as the Contemporary Music Director at Cypress Creek Christian Church and there are undoubtedly big things to come from this guy.

I have so much respect for people who truly GET each other…no frills necessary.:)You two are setting yourselves up for such a wonderful future together. I can’t wait to be a part of the beautiful celebration on April 9th!

xoxo

Pat Cooksey - What creative beautiful pictures. Sam and Micah turned a
warehouse district into a thing of beauty. Could it be love?

Keri

What’s cookin’, good lookin’?

Oh wait, I know!  It’s my NIECE, Karli!!

Sweet Keri, motherhood looks goooood on you.

I cannot wait to meet this baby.  And I’m not the only one.:)

Aunt Janica.

I like it.

I can’t believe that in a few short months my baby brother Brandon will be a Daddy.  (and a GOOD one, too!)  Keri’s baby shower was last weekend and she drove allllll the way down from Lubbock.  After the pink wrapping paper was all shredded, the last sip of sherbet punch was slurped, and the final group of chattering ladies made their way out of the door, we were able to grab a few quick shots of her perfectly adorable belly bump.  Next time I see my dear sister-in-law, baby Karli will be hanging out in Keri’s ARMS!  I am giddy with anticipation.  Keri, Brandon, and little Karli, I love you to infinity and back!

P.S.  Will you just get a load of this cake from the shower??  My friend Angie is an absolute cake-making dynamo.  If you need a cake, and want it to be fabulous, send her an email: angielindquist@yahoo.com

Chrystal - Ooooh! I love the B&Ws too! I can’t wait to meet Karli. I am ready for you guys to be back in Houston. I hope you get big prints of some of these Keri! They are great pictures of you.
