you know what, I was planning to write to you this upcoming weekend to post your picture. I want to put a face to a wonderful person! =)
But its sooo nice to make my own picture, beside, we are developing that.
I stuck a pic in there for you tiffany, really small... hehe. You get the idea though, right?
I had totally forgot about the van, that was the best for road trips to Utah. And when I move to Boise can I make an appt. for you to photo my kids?
love this idea...so much you have said sounds like me. It made me laugh....I don't know if l could do a hundred but maybe 50. hmmmmmm maybe l will try this week coming up with some and posting them next week.
I read Amy's list too and have been thinking about doing one myself, it's a little scary though - you have to be too honest to yourself :) Maybe you'll see it pop up on my blog w/in the next couple of days.....who knows. I enjoyed reading yours & get to know you better. Thanks.
I know this is a LONG comment but I loved every picture that you posted as well!
I love them, every last one, so fun! The last one literally made me LOL....I'll have to sit down and think about 100 things, I don't know if I have that many, it might take me a few days!
For the record, you absolutely have a talent, a big one! Your photos rock! And I know what you mean about having more kids, I can't imagine being done. :)
So fun Amanda! I feel like I know you now (kinda =) You also sound A LOT like me! I want to accept your challenge, but I'm afraid I'll unconciously copy you when i write out my list...we'll see...i'm such a terrible blogger. [Oh, and yup, you're gorgeous and extremely talented!]
What a great list. I thought I was the only one who did the laundry basket trick.:)
this is great amanda - i will be giving it a go over the next few days...love reading about everyone and getting to know them better.
thanks for sharing
I loved your 100 things about you list -- so much of it I can relate to (except for the getting pregnant this year)!! YIKES! What a fun idea!
That was so fun to read! Amazingly, I can echo about 90% of the things about you as true for me, too! No wonder I like you so much! :) Email me how much you charge to photograph my kids...it might just be worth a trip to Boise. I just LOVE your work!
amanda!!

I'm so glad you added the picts, it was nice to get to know you too.
Hi Amanda. I am actually on twopeas.. But I don't post a ton. My screenname is iamwonderwoman. I would love any pointers you could give me! I loved reading about you, you sound great, and I have only heard great stuff about you from Allison!
102. Amanda is totally adored, admired, and inspired by her older sister-in-law!
103. You are super-talented, creative and amazing in so many ways.
104. Could your kids be any cuter?
105. Okay, your husband is pretty dang cute, too. :) Of course, I look nothing like him, so it's not arrogant of me to say that!
106. You are a fabulous mother!
107. What planet do all these people come from who love to be pregnant?
108. You can always make me (Tami, your favorite sister-in-law) laugh!
109. Why on earth would you clutter up your fabulous pictures with scrapbook pages!
110. I am so glad that Cliff had the sense to marry you and bring you into our crazy family! I only wish I didn't always end up living on the other side of the world, literally, from you guys. Love you! Have a great day! Tami
Okay, I am an idiot! I meant to say you are adored, admired and an inspiration to your sister-in-law! :)
I love your list Amanda ..
It's fun to read everyone's lists!!
Take Care, Julie
Great list! I've seen 3 people do it so far and I don't think I can muster up the courage. I LOVE the photo with the tutu and the cowboy boots!!
WOW...cool stuff! Great pictures & love your tones. Awesome clarity on them! You are a wonderful photographer!!!!!
Ok, looking at your kids, I knew you had to be cute, but wow. You're gorgeous.
I went ahead and did this for this week on the challenge-thought it'd be a good way to "Introduce youself to the Peas". :)
Thanks Amanda for your comment on my blog & OF COARSE I don't mind that you link me:) I should do that on my own blog, BUT too darn lazy to GATHER ALL the blogs I visit...hehe!!! I just keep you all in my favs;)
You really do have some excellent pics!!! ;)
AWESOME! Love the 100 things and seeing a pic of you. Putting a face to a screen name is great!
you're going to force me to do one of these 100 lists, aren't you? :)
this is great, Amanda!
love the photos you stuck in there ESPECIALLY the tutu/boots one.
I'm going to get going on my own list.
thanks for the inspiration.
I love reading these! It's soo neat to learn about everyone. Love #48. That's soo us! We're are a very prompt family, but when it comes to church, we just can't pull it off on time!
Pleasure to 'meet' you Amanda!!
