Conference Weekend

These all got put in backwards... I wish I knew how to change that. If you look really carefully, just above the trees, you can see our little plane! It got sooo high!

Here is Angela and I.... Aren't we cute sisters?

Scott is just about to launch Old Yeller for its first flight...

One of my favorite things about October Conference is going outside and enjoying fall between sessions. Scott and I were lucky this year to have my little sister Angela and my parents here for the weekend. Sunday afternoon we decided to go to Rock Canyon and test out our new toy: a snazy, yellow, battery powered airplane, which we happened to name Old Yeller. Basically it was awesome.

Eating Soup

Eating a delicious bowl of "Creamy Wild Rice and Chicken" soup right now. (I LOVE this soup, thank you Cambells) Its about 100' degrees outside currently, not really soup weather. I took this picture last fall and it looks a lot more "soup appropriate". So I am here, eating my soup, pretending its chilly. Can't wait for October...

Scott's photo shoot

No, Scott is not pursuing a career in modeling, he just is my guinea pig for scoping out new places to take pictures! I'm lucky he is so cute and such a good sport!

Got Mail?

Just look at him! Doesn't our little mail box seem sad? I bet you he is sick of the junk mail and bills he normally gets! Bet you can fix that...

We HATE Spiders

Hate is such a strong word but there really is no other way to describe how we feel about our little 8 legged friends. Living in a basement apartment has really helped us get to know these clever little arachnids more then we could have ever dreamed ( or nightmared). While brushing my teeth the other night I looked in the window well (things only basement apartment dwellers really understand) and there he was. A bird, a plane, no a spider the size of plane. To my horror there was the largest spider I had ever seen staring at me with everyone of his little beaty eyes. Scott of course heard my cries for help and quickly armed himself with: long sleeve shirt and boots, hairspray and a lighter, t.p. and an airsoft gun. This spider was too clever/large for simple death by t.p. and considering his location in the window well, lighting him on fire seemed like a bad idea. Verdict- death by airsoft. RIP big fella, but I must warn his hopefully smaller comrades: my husband is armed!

**The spider photographed above I'm sure is a smaller relative of my spider Peeping Tom, but at least he is smart enough to stay outside.

April Showers, Still Brings August Flowers!

So, I was so bored yesterday that I drove around until I found things I wanted to take pictures of. I was so excited when I found these flowers! They just seem to scream...summers not over yet!!!

Photo Session 1: In the Park

Kristine and I went to the park to take some pictures. She woke me up from my nap and i was like...."meeh." But she wanted a good model to take pictures of, and I can't blame her.
















So Kristine is pretty pumped because she got her new camera. The park was fun; I wasn't wearing my contacts so I felt like I was still asleep.
