I thought

...that vacations were suppose to be fun. It has been complete DRAMA to get ready...and do you know what...we are only going to Park City. Every 5 minutes when are we going...how about NEVER! Ya...that will teach them to ask me. Whew...thanks for letting me vent.

So, I am going to be gone and I wont be looking at me emails until Monday but had to leave you with some photos.

I will introduce to you my new niece on my side of the family (I no longer provide all of the grand babies) This is Maddie she is part Indian (Navajo & Omaha) and isn't she beautiful. I can't get enough of her...my kids never had this much hair.

C-ya later

Cell Phone Bill

Hey just had to give a shout out to you all. I got my cell phone bill today and it was $971.00 Can anyone top that? Ummmm....I am going to have to make a phone call.

Beautiful Eyes

Look at those eyes. I had to take her photo. We were at a ward carnival not really the place to be taking an official photoshoot but had to take some to edit those eyes...and the flowers in the background not sure if they are a distraction or if I like 'em.

Yep...still love my 5D

So, I am sitting here trying to come up with something amazing to write down for you all to read about "B" but I might ruin it...well because I am not good with my words.
Now, I know this family that "B" comes from and they are simply amazing musically talented like the Osmonds, yeah...the Osmonds (Osmonds are from Utah too).

"B" you are treat it was a lot of fun and I simply love your personality (oh...and you are beautiful) you are going to go far, girl.

....ummmmm really had a hard time choosing what to show too many good ones.

















..........alright this is the last one.

...by my very talented photographer friend Megan It really was a challage to think about me and what I do (I must not do it very often). So, I guess I will play along...and I've been asked to name 7 quirky things about me...ummmm, it really took me some to come up with something...but here goes.

1. I love to laugh. In High School I was labeled most contagiuos laugh (I think it was hard for them to choose between most likely to succeed or most popular). I will laugh at anything trust me if you get hurt and its pretty funny you will get laughed at. My kids know this all to well. Here's a good story my son was tired of his hiccups we tried everything from him holding his breath to drinking pickle juice. The only thing left was to scare him...so I did and he was terrified but what happened...his hiccups were gone. It was a good laugh enough to cry.

Oh...and that Nepolian Dinamite was so funny that I cried then too.

2. I have to sleep with my window open...got to get that yucky morning breath air out...ya know what I mean. And the extra advantange to that is you get to snuggle in your blankets cause it's so cold in your room (my DH doesn't like it very much in the winter).

3. I love to bug (irritate, annoy, taunt) people...but try to do it back and you may get kicked...in the nuts, sorry honey!

4. I love to mow the lawn.

5. I am an addict...yes, I am addicted to sugar...anything sugar you've got me.

6. I hate the smell of coffee I think it's disgusting.

7. I love anything with salt, so that pickle juice thing to get rid of hiccups...love it, salt and vinegar chips, and just plain old salt on anything I eat. I've been told I may die sooner but for now it's really good.
j/k...I am really giving it a good try to be healthier.

Now it's time for me to tag 6 people: Angie, Brooke, Jean, Jennifer, Sheena, Shelley

Newborn

This is my new niece and she is already on her best behavior she was very obedient and kept every position I put her in. I hope that she continues this path.














I found another that was too cute to leave out.

Happy Day!!!!

I got my 5D today (SCREAM.........YEAH....Wahoooooo!!!!)

Misty's family were my first victim's and I have to say that they were perfect too (great little models) but little "Z" had something else in mind for this shoot (didn't want much to do with me) but the second she put on the Tu Tu. She was good to go. I have to say there is something about fluffy frilly stuff that makes a girl feel beautiful.

The Look

A friend of mine called me the other night and told me I needed to drop everything and come to this location, so I did, and as I received directions I knew I had been there before...in High School.
I totally forgot about this house and it had the coolest old bus that I hope I can use it later for maybe some Bridals or something. Stephanie thank you for getting me over there...BTW you should check her out she has been training with me for a couple of months now and I will miss ya when you start to get busy. I have to show you the shot that I absolutely love. I just love this look she gave me.

A Splash of Fun

Some water fun for ya here. It took quite a few attempts to get this shot.
I was supprised at how hard it was get my little Isaac in focus but after all the failed attempts I am happy with the results of this one shot.

The joy of being a kid

It happened again

...another beautiful bride. I was really trying to do something a little different on the edits but I don't know if I budged very much from what I am used too. And by the way this girl is a size 0 (hope you don't mind Shallin) somehow I skipped that size.
