My newest obsession...

I'm totally obsessed with this kitchen. I look at it everyday, crazy I know. Maybe I can make mine look half this good, with half the budget:) You can look at the whole thing here.

First "Real" Wedding!

Okay so I know that I haven't blogged in a while and well I don't really have an excuse except for that I've been somewhat busy and somewhat lazy when it comes to blogging. I have a lot of posts to come, but I thought I would start out with the wedding I just did. My neighbor had three kids get married in the last two months and needed a photographer for one of her daughters. I thought this would be a great way to add to my portfolio and help someone out! I was soo excited to do her pictures because she is such a beautiful bride and they are just such a cute couple! I had a lot of fun doing it and felt comfortable behind the camera. I still have a TON to learn, but I think the pictures turned out good and I hope that they're happy with them. I bought and downloaded photoshop CS3, but I have NOOO idea how to use it. I'm taking a night class in a couple of weeks and it will teach me some basic photoshop so I'm sooo excited to learn. I edited these with picasa and I still think they look great. Anyway, let me know what you guys think!

Rexburg Water Park

So Ashley, my sister, and her daughter, Addison, were able to come visit for the last two weeks! We had soo much fun minus all of us getting a virus (all at different times) and Abby having her back surgery (not so fun). But during the times we were able to hang out we did a lot of fun stuff. One day we went to the Rexburg Water Park. Grant, who was scared to death of it last time, decided he thought it wasn't so bad. In fact, I would say he enjoyed it more than Grace or Addie. I took some pictures above of them playing. Addie went down the "big" slide so there are some pictures of her doing that. Then they have a carousel right next to the water park. Again Grant started running to the "horses" and kept saying "neigh, neigh" and ran right past the ticket counter and I had to run after him so that I could pay! He got soo excited about everything! It was sooo fun to watch his reactions. However when it was time to go he was not such a happy guy. He screamed the whole way to the car! It was like trying to carry a little wiggly monkey! Anyway, here are some pictures.

What memories do you have of me?

Memories!!

Here's how it works:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together, or one of the first memories you have of me. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

Geoffery's Graduation Party...

I decided to celebrate Geoffery's Graduation with a little cookout/party. We had family and friends come over to celebrate with us. We planned the party so that Geoffery's grandparents could be here from Indiana and it just so happen to work out that my sister, Ashley, and her daughter, Addison, could be here too! So we had a lot of fun. We cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and had cupcakes and ice cream for desert. We had a ton of fun and it was soo good to have all our family together! For Geoffery's graduation present I decided to surprise him with Wii and he was VERY surprised. I have some pictures of him opening the gifts above. Hope you enjoy and thanks to everyone for coming! We had a great turnout!

Photography... To be continued.

So I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I had my first real photo shoot with my sister and her cute family. The good news continues... I was REALLY happy with ALL the pictures and they really turned out good after I edited them. Now comes the bad news. After spending 2 hours taking pictures of them and then about 1-2 hours editing them, I realized that my camera was on the wrong resolution and I had it on the worst one possible. So now we can't print the pictures any bigger than a 4x6! Ha! So I told Abby this is why this was a practice run. So we will go out and do it again later this week. I just hope I can catch some of the great shots I got the first time. I guess you live and learn. But here are some of my favorite shots that I got. Let me know what you guys think.

Geoffery's Graduation Ceremony...

So Geoffery walked last Friday for his graduation. It was a good ceremony with President Clark (the president of BYU-I) and Sister Beck talking. They both gave great uplifting talks and it was cool to hear from both of them. Grant did really good. He kept himself busy climbing the benchs where we were sitting and I kept giving him HoneyCombs which is now his new found favorite treat. Afterwards, we went up to take some pictures. It was really windy, so don't look at my hair! Then after that we went to eat at Applebees. It was WAY past Grant's bedtime, but he was an angel at dinner and didn't freak out until we got in the car to go home at 10:30! So he was really tired, but he did really well. So there is the update that I promised. We're having a little graduation party this weekend for Geoffery. Congrats hun! I Love you!
