The Superbowl

Wow, who knew that flag football could be so exciting? Dan's team the Patriots played our best friends team the Dolphins for the Superbowl. It was such an exciting game. Chase played awesome and juked like no other. He scored a touchdown on a return and caught a pass with his finger tips on a fourth down (which was scary) and made a first down in the last seconds of the game. Then with one second left on the clock and the score was tied 26 to 26 Tristen made a throw to Hunter in the end zone for a winning touch down. Our crowd went wild. This game is one to remember. The cool thing is both teams are best friends. The coaches are friends and the players are friends. Most of the boys on both teams play baseball together on the same team. Both teams should feel really good about a fantastic season. The game was a nail biter and the score went back and forth until the last seconds of the game. I'm so proud of Dan and the other coaches for taking a team who couldn't even catch the ball at the beginning of the season to true blue football players. That is a winning coach.
































The Coaches and their Sons!








Hayden you are a great kid. Thanks for coming and supporting the boys. They idolize you and look up to you. You are their hero. They couldn't believe the star and winning quarterback of the Don's football team would show up to watch them. It really meant so much to all of us. Your great!



When I asked Hayden why he came by to watch our Superbowl he said "They come to support me, I wanted to support them." I thought that was the greatest thing ever. Jenny, you should be so proud of your son. I know I am.
Good Job Boys for playing your hearts out and for a fantastic season!

Follow Your Art Workshop Park City Utah, Sept. 17-19, 2010

I recently attended the Follow Your Art photography workshop in Park City Utah. Can you say AMAZING. It was AMAZING. Tiffany is truly an artist. It was so fun to be mentored by Tiffany (who I consider one of the BEST in the business). We had a fantastic group, great weather, gorgeous models, colorful scenery and the perfect teacher. I had one of the best times of my life (and that's saying a lot) because I've had some pretty great times. I think it's important for a photographer to always keep learning and growing as an individual and I hope you can see that in my work. Check my photography blog out for more fantastic shots of the workshop. Tiffany asked us at the beginning of the workshop how we would describe our style. I would say mine is Creative, Flirty, Colorful, Stylish, Illuminating. If any of you ever have an opportunity to take one of her workshops. You will love it. Thanks Tiffany for a job well done. Oh and I must say, check out this beautiful, blonde, bombshell.

Chases Birthday Cake

Here is a picture of Chases birthday cake up close and personal. I told my friend Jill I would post a picture of the cake so here it is.

Lil' Buckaroo

Oh Summer Fun. Chase did such a great job staying on the sheep and the sheep didn't even buckle this year. Wa Hoo. (I don't think it was because of his death grip around the sheeps neck.) Now he's got his mind around riding a steer for next year. Great if I let him ride a steer, I'm going to have to let Katelyn ride one to.

Katelyn in Wonderland

Katelyn, Allie, Shayla and Kristen in Wonderland. I finally got them posted. We had so much fun with this shoot. The girls really got into their characters they were perfect models. I didn't even have to direct them. They just did it and had so much fun with it. Thanks girls for putting up with my Brillant idea. Jenae of Krumpets designs made the mad hatter hat. She does such an awesome job and can brew up anything, (I mean anything) you can think up. She is so talented. Check out her fabulous headbands and other bokah here www.krumpetsdesigns.blogspot.com.

The Gangs All Here / July 17, 2010

These fugitives are considered dangerous and are on the loose. If you see one call for back-up. Do not approach on your own.

Big Boy Turned Nine In July.

I'm alive. You won't believe this but my computer CRASHED. It was a sad, sad couple of weeks until I could get up and running again. I guess it couldn't take all the pictures I've been working on. Oh well I LOVE my new computer and they were able to save all my pictures I hadn't backed up yet.

Chases birthday party was a real hit. He invited 19 friends but two couldn't come, so we had a total of 17 friends at the birthday party. CRAZY LADY is right. I don't know how I survived. I guess it was the help of Dan, Mimi, Katelyn and Alli. Yes I made the birthday cake. I was so proud of myself. A week a head of the party Chase and I watched how to frost a birthday cake on the Internet. I really learned a lot. His cake turned out so cute and I made it a few days ahead and kept it in the fridge. It stayed moist and yummy. WaHoo. They played games, won prizes, opened presents and played fugitive with quite a few Dads in the neighborhood. The kids LOVE the game of fugitive. They played it all summer long. It all started with Katelyn's party. The "Cop" drops you off somewhere away from your house then the kiddos have to make it home, in the dark, before they are found by the cop who is patrolling in the car with flash lights. You have to use your brain and a lot of stealth. It doesn't hurt if your a fast runner. I think the Dads have just as much fun playing as the kids. The party lasted about 4 hours and later that night I was asleep before my head hit the pillow.

Chase is turning nine.

Chase doesn't want me to be on the computer for his birthday. Wow where does the time go? I can't believe he is turning nine. I love you little buddy. I will post more later.
