Pics from Utah
Honestly - the trip was a business trip. We had a few hang ups we had to deal with while out there with paper issues. Those were a bit frustrating, but we were able to deal with it and move forward. So all in all it was a good business trip!
I think that going out with 5 children and staying for 2 weeks is pretty rough on me,
but the kids got to enjoy time with cousins and Grandparents.
We had some pretty awesome park times and visits at Grandma and Grandpa's home!
Auntie Ruby and Uncle Lincoln treated the kids wonderfully! The kids cannot stop asking to see Spency, Gillan, and Raeden! The older boys were so sweet with our kids as well, helping to make life a bit easier on me too!
While out there I got to meet up with a friend that had a baby the same time as I had Samuel. The kids adored her too! We let the kids play in the park :)
One thing that I thought was so cool was that I had gotten Ruby to read the Twilight Series and she loved it as much as I do! WooHoo!
I found a key to my storage unit and was able to get in and raid my books. I brought home all 20 of my Anita Stansfield books! Even more awesome!!!
My highlight was bringing my camera and utilizing my polarizing lens and tripod.
Also changing the settings some and working with light. It was pretty cool! I had the opportunity to do family portraits for Ruby and Lincolns Family. Fun Fun!!!!
I have a long way to go in photographing - but it was very neat!
Unfortunately I was not able to meet up with Shaney and Ken, or the Gooches. I am sad about that... but hope that the next trip will give me the opportunity to do so. That is if we go to Utah ever again. LOL
I want to wish my Brother a great mission. He leaves July 16th for Georgia - USA English speaking. I am sure he will have a fantastic experience. He is a hard worker with a good heart.
Johnny is due to arrive back to Utah sometime in August. That will be a treat for the rest of the family - but for Matthew and Johnny it will be bittersweet. Since they both understand the reasons - they will not get to see each other for 4 years total because of when they leave and arrive. :(
My only regret is that Matthew and I never got to spend any time hiking or anything for that matter while I was out. I was so hoping he would call or something. It would have been nice to be a bit of a family before he left. I doubt he would consider coming and visiting either. Oh well. Asi es mi vida...
For the record - YES I chopped off my hair! WooHoo!

I looove your hair. It's very becoming.
I'm glad you had a good time in Utah.
Wow. I can't believe Matthew is leaving and Johnny will be back. That means my parents are coming back soon then, too.
It's too bad we didn't get together while you were out here. We'll have to try again. It would be fun to see you.
Love, love, love the hair! I told you a new haircut can do wonders even if you feel like it won't. I didn't think anything could make me feel any different, but my new cut sure did! How do you like it?
I really like the picture you have up top with your son on the swing. I am hoping to take some time soon to learn how to do what you did with the color/black and white. You are doing very well with your pictures :) Glad you had a good time in UT!!
I really love what you capture with your camera. I am seriously wishing that we had gotten together so I could have you take some pictures of my kids. Oh yeah and because I really wanted to see you too! Promise! I am glad that you had fun up here.
Love the hair.
You look great!
The kids look adorable and tell Nathan to smile more in his pics. :)
I know everyone else said it, but I love you hair cut!!!
I noticed you get everyone to read Stephanie Meyer's books. Did you see her new one yet? It is called "The Host". It is already number 1 one the best sellers list! It is not in the Twilight series. It is totally different. It is about ALIENS! I bought it and had it read in 2 days! It is over 600 pages. This one was written for adults instead of kids. I liked it way more than her earlier stuff. To me, now she is an author! You should see if you can get it!
