Malias First Grade Christmas Program

Malia had the cutest first grade Christmas Program! She was the animated excited one the entire time. That girl can not get enough of the stage! It was so cute! The Grandparents were invited and Malia loved that part! Here are a few shots from the performance....

I Braved IT

I tried it for the first time in my life......Black Friday Morning...I had gone to bed with no intention of getting up at 5 am to go stand in lines and fight over cheap dvd players, but I woke up out of nowhere at 4:30 and it was as if Target was calling! My husband said what are you doing?? I replied thinking about going shopping.....he then proceeded to tell me I was crazy. I told him he was right and I was going to go back to sleep......30 seconds later I flew out of bed and threw jeans on ...he laughed and said " ha ha I knew you couldn't resist" It was CRAZY! I have never seen anything like that in my life! Hundreds or maybe thousands HA HA of people in a store like a herd of cows......no one could move or do anything. Im the idiot that tried to push a cart through the electronics dept. I figured out quick that you dont bother with the cart at first...you run straight for the $25 dollar DVD player that is a total peice of junk and grab as many as you can because in my house.......we go through DVD players like toilet paper. I managed to spend $500 dollars on a lot of ????? cool stuff???? Needless to say I returned $300 of it the next day........Im famous for buying then returning:) HA HA it was fun though...Ill probably pass next year.......unless I hear Target calling me at 4:30 AM again.

Thanksgiving.........Finally

Wow am I behind.....tis the season. My life has been crazy and full of fun! I am trying to get all my last minute Christmas cards ordered for people ( including my own:) and staying busy with my three girls, my photography business, my primary stuff, etc.....there's more but I wont bore you! Here's a few pics from Thanksgiving. You know I love to post huge pics and all that but I am so swamped right now its not going to happen....I guess I'll have to deal with small ones! I would post more but it was taking FOREVER tonight !

OKAY SO HANNAH MONTANA IS ALWAYS IN MY LIFE SOMEHOW:)
DO YOU EVER GO AWAY HANNAH?

Blast from the Past

It's been 18 years since I went to the Marriot Center in Provo Utah at age 13 to see the New Kids on the Block Concert. Those of you who know me understand that I had a MAJOR obsession here. The Curran girls and I use to spend all our time singing and watching new kids videos. We were I guess what you could call obsessed:) It was so funny when we found out they were coming in concert and that they were back together as a group. We couldn't resist. So we got row NINE tickets and we had a blast!!! IT was so much fun and such a blast to be with the Curran girls again and remember all the good times we had as kids....so heres some pics. Warning: They are still good looking! HA HA


We Started at Cracker Barrell only to find out that they had Breakfast there that morning! AHHHH!!!!!!!


Here they come..................


And Karen loses it......yes thats me screaming, crying, and laughing all at once......It was just too much I was going crazy...........I lost my voice!


It was just like back in the day! They were soooooo good!








The coolest ending I have ever seen it went on for like 30 minutes.......







At this point we were all screaming don't leave!........very sad......I hope it's not another 18 years!! They sang all their old songs and I still remember every word, and dance move......okay so I use to have 336 posters on my wall of them. It was funny the crowd was mostly 30 year old moms and they were all decked out in neon colors and total 90's gear like side pony tails and big buttons, puffy painted shirts and ripped jeans.......it was seriously funny. Call me crazy but I REALLY had fun and I am praying they come again.......ERIN? SHANNON? Are you with me on this one????????



My niece Kassidy came too......she's hooked now :)

Waiting for more snow!

My girls were so excited when it snowed...I had to go through the whole routine of getting on their coats, boots, gloves, hats, etc......only to have them go outside and freeze! They never last long out there. Ember will not stop talking about the snow she loves it! I love these cute pics of her having fun.....two years is the cutest age! Except we are jumping on the potty training wagon ...Yikes......

WHEN WILL I EVER LEARN TO KEEP SCISSORS, MARKERS, MASCARA, CLEANING PRODUCTS, CRAYONS, MEDICINE, DVD'S, HAIRSPRAY, SUGAR, AND ALL OTHER ITEMS THAT CAN CAUSE DAMAGE OUT OF REACH!!! YOU WOULD THINK I WOULD HAVE IT FIGURED OUT BY NOW:) APPARENTLY NOT.......THIS IS EMBER WITH MY MASCARA ON:)

Happy HalLoween! !! ( LET IT END!)

Our family picture attempt:)

This was nuts...trying to do family pictures .....we did our best and all four of us girls had strep throat at the time...am I crazy? I have been neglecting my blog again so its catch up time:) Here I go again!

All three smiling! A miracle for sure!


Dang my husband is so hot!!

Pumpkin Patch

Finally we got to do something fun! It seems like once school hits there's not much to post about! We had fun taking the girls to Corn Belly's at Thanksgiving point. Fall wouldn't be fall without the pumpkin Patch right? Chad and Julie and Grandma and Grandpa came to add to the fun:)

Does it get any better then Cinderella in Utah?

Jason had SOOOOOOOOOOO much fun milking the cow! HA HA

To die for corn dogs.......they really were good:)

Hmmmmm powerade or coke??? Good choice Weston!

Brusied up Baby

This does not look like the same child I did a cute photo shoot of a couple weeks ago. Ember fell off my lap and just about broke her nose. She hit it on the edge of the metal chair on our deck. Ouch! then she fell face first and her tooth went in to her lip causing a fat lip. Then because of her nose, she got a really bad case of the goopy eye thing. GROSS!! I felt so bad for her! This picture actually looks really good compared to how she looked in real life! I sware the life of a two year old is so rough:) Actually this is before the lip situation.

SLACKER!!!

That is what I am! A total slacker. I have been neglecting my own family blog AGAIN!! I sware I am the worst. Time to play catch up again:) I really need to do better. Last week was so fun for me! I had the chance to go to Logan to mentor with and AMAZING photographer! Moments By Kellee . She taught me sooooooooooo much! It was seriously one of the most amazing and eye opening experiences. Theres no way I can really explain. So I got a chance to see what it feels like to be the client...the person posing for the camera. It was so HARD! Its weird having all these cameras on you and doing all these funky poses. Kinda good for me to see how it feels since I am always the one behind the camera....so I hate to do it but its kinda funny so I'm posting a picture of myself....I KNOW it's amazing you are seeing a picture of me on my own blog! Crazy but it was bound to happen sometime:) Enjoy......it wont happen again for a long time:) HA HA

Lovin the leaves

I'm sure you can imagine all the fun I'm having with the fall leaves. I'm going camera crazy! It seems everyone wants their family pictures taken at this time of year. We all start thinking about Our Christmas cards this year and what picture we are going to put in them! Here's a sample of my shoot of Malia last week. Oh they are cute! Visit my SHINE blog to see the complete shoot!
