SMILE

I think these photos say it all! Super Cute Kids. Special THANKS to my cousin for her house, the field and helping take these pictures.

Sneak Peek

Sibling Love

The best part of putting these two together on the couch is that Lily managed to push Jack off the edge followed with a Whoa!

Fun with Jack and Lily

While Jack and Lily's parents tour Asia (Japan, South Korea, China, and Hong Kong with the EMBA program at BYU they have left them with Beth's parents for a week and now with the Emmett's for the last week. I plan to keep posting photos of these two so John and Beth can see how well their children are doing. As you can see they are all smiles these days.

Final Saturday in Irvine

Following Luke's second birthday party I headed over to Kira wedding reception at the park in Irvine. I am so happy for her and excited to hang out with her in Utah. She and her husband are living in Daybreak.
After the reception I headed down to Newport beach for a bonfire. I begged Ryan to join me before he headed back to LA and managed to get one last photo on the beach before I left. I do miss all my wonderful California friends and look forward to seeing them in July.

bIrThDay PaRty for Luke

I had the honor to photograph Lucus second birthday. I took about a 130 photos but just selected a few to share here. Luke belongs to my dearest friend Andrea who I met 10 years ago while living in the dorms at Utah State. While I was homeless her parents were kind enough to take me in for a few days. I loved getting to spend time where her and Luke before I moved.

Friend of Luke

Andrea

Ryan (Andrea cousin) and his niece. We all showed up in GREEN so we took a picture.

Farewell to Ashford

This post will be a work in progress when I have time to come back and write about my memories in this home and talk about what each of the pictures are. After all we lived there for 10 years and my little brother posted on his blog all his memories.

I moved to Utah

So I am still alive and am so close to coming back to the blogging world. I have plenty to blog about and lots of photos I plan to post. My only problem is my lap top has all the photos and I don't have the internet. Maybe later this week I will find a hot spot in Park City with Wi Fi and start working on a post. I hope as you read this post it finds all is well with you and your families.

If you haven't heard I moved to Utah and am currently living in Park City. I will be job hunting the middle of June and until then I will be enjoying some free time with family members in Logan. I hope to find a job in Park City or Salt Lake in the next few months.

hApPy BiRtHdAy To Me..

I guess I needed lots of air to blow out my 2 candles on 2 cakes. Happy Birthday to Me!

For my birthday this year I invited friends for dinner, dessert and dancing all of my favorite things that begin with the letter D. It was a wonderful evening and I am so grateful for the friends that were able to attend.
