Halloween Party

Last week we got together for a Halloween party.

Highlights of the evening:
1. trying to describe our love life in the form of a candy bar in front of everyone. and kelsies suggestion of adding milky way to the list of choices.
2. moms attention to detail in costumes. going so far as to tie a toy with a thing of string to throw out the window of a bus
3. candlestick salad.. hahahaha
4. yummy yummy homemade donuts
5. shans 100% spandex costume

wait. I should re-number those in order... if that was the case, shans costume would be number 1. And without further adieu, shans costume: (shan, be grateful.. there were much worse pics I could have used)

portrait party

Saturday Nov 1st
$45 family half hour mini-sessions
This is the last time we'll be doing this for a while so if you know someone that needs family pictures let me know!

There is only one more slot if you want me to do the pictures- which is 4pm.

But Courtney will be doing sessions at the same time so even if I'm booked you can have her do the pics.

I love this man :)

So I was going through some of me and nathans really old pictures and I came across one of my alltime favorite pictures of nathan. One day we decided to sled down the stairs at his sisters house and man... i'm glad that I caught this expression. I just can't look at this picture without laughing. It definatley brightens my day in some odd way :)

Then after laughing about this picture with my sister-in-law and nathan I remembered from a month ago when we went to the point of the mountain last time and he just looks so hilarious in this picture. So we started going back and forth between the pictures really fast. oh my. We were laughing so hard I almost peed my pants.

off roadin

We love going up to the point of the mountain above lehi and draper to hang out. This time Travis came with us and we played around with Charlie, jumped off sand dunes, and did some off-roading.

Snow, snow go away...

...only come back on Christmas day...

39 days!

In exactly 39 days we are headed to a southern caribbean cruise with shan and randy! yay! We are so super excited to have some time off work and get to spend our days and nights together in amazing places! Here is the map of where we are going:


A couple things I am especially looking forward to are-

The bioluminescent bays in San Juan:


The beautiful island of St Lucia:


The beaches of St Kitts:


Maybe snorkeling to a shipwreck in Barbados:


*sigh* I wish it was November 7th already...

So long summer

So this summer has been absolutley insane. I've been so busy with work that I haven't had too much of a summer at all actually. Anyways, I thought I'd share some of my favorite shots from this short summer so you guys can see what I've been up to:
