Reading in Public

Photobucket

It is official, I have put a self banning on myself. No more reading in Wal Mart-EVER! I was there the other day buying some groceries and since Jory is out of town working, I figured I could lolly-gage and read. So I picked up a copy of this book, "The Miracle of the Wooden Shoes." It was sooooooooo good. So good, that I was bawling in the middle of Wal-Mart. Yeah, a little embarrassing... No more of that. At any rate, this is an AMAZING book that just came out that I thought about putting on my Christmas list. However, I have decided it's too good to have to wait until Christmas Day and should be read, shared and enjoyed over and over again through out the Christmas Season this year.

Lovin Life with the Kids.

BEWARE....

Long post ahead!

I couldn't help myself, these pics make me GIGGLE! I went over to Mike & Geena's after work to take some pics of the kids and oh what fun I had! These kids will NOT sit and pose for me at all, but it's ok cuz they turned out so much fun. Snuff took this first one of me and the kids on the steps. Clearly they are too excited to trick or treat to pose for a pic.

Flying Bugs... man, she thought this was SO fun! LOOK at those dimples!

Photobucket
I LOVE this shot of Kobs, but it made me depressed at the same time cuz he looks so much older and grown up. **sniff, sniff**

Photobucket
If you look closely, you'll notice that a part of black tool from her
tutu got caught on her pumpkin so it was dragging while she was walking.
LOL...

Photobucket
Silly girl!

Photobucket
Kobe was very into his character as you can tell.

Photobucket
Kobe and his buddies. I don't know the kid in the orange shirt, but he
kept begging me to take his picture.


Photobucket
I don't know why I love this shot of her, but I just do.

Photobucket
I love little man! These were fun to take of him up in the tree, totally has the Halloween feeling you know?

Photobucket
This is about as good as it gets for posing these two...

Photobucket
Man what a cute little sucker!

Her little expression makes me giggle in this one. She's getting
faster with those legs of hers.

Happy Halloween!

I am working for a great dental office and the team LOVES to have fun. We all dressed up and and had a lunch together. I think it was nice for our patients to see us in costumes. Esp. considering a lot of our patients are children. I haven't dressed up in YEARS, but still-it was a lot of fun. Here are a few of the pics taken that day.

Lessons learned.

You know how in today's digital world, a lot of people are buying these nicer cameras and saying, "oh we can just go in our nice backyard, set up the camera on timer and take our our family pictures," or my personal favorite, "I have a friend/family member that has a nice camera they can just shoot our pics for us-that way it'll be free anyways." I'm here to tell you doing that is LAME! For the love of all that is holy and sacred, do it right and just get a photographer! Here's the reason I say this...

This week Jory and I "tried" to take our family pics. Jory insists on doing them ourselves with a tripod and self timer (as apparently this is our new family tradition). So we went up the canyons and failed miserably. There was nothing all that looked pretty-unless you like the dead creepy tree/branch look. I could see how Jory looked and he always looked good, but then I would have to run as the timer was going and try to position myself that looked somewhat decent. I looked like a complete retard. I was so frustrated and Jory was getting annoyed with me-but people, hello... I am a photographer so of course I'm going to be more particular! We took like maybe 15 shots before I was DONE and went home pouting like a baby. I'm still pretty butt hurt about it too. I have been sitting here aimlessly editing everyone family pics and ours are the WORST! This was my last attempt at this, never again. I will hire one of my photographers that I lust after.
Live and learn my friends! ;) Ok, I'm done venting...

Trunk or Treat

We took Kobe to our ward's Truck or Treat Friday night and it was so much fun. Kobe always has such fun costumes. Of course he took home a ton of candy.

Photobucket
This years costume: Storm Trooper. (Wait, did I say that right?)

Racing to the Promised land. I'm not being cheesy here, that's really what the name of the game was called.

Photobucket
I don't remember what this game was called, but the kids got to throw velcro balls on this guy.

Photobucket
Kobe actually hit the guy right on!

Photobucket
The 3 legged race Kobe ran. Love his face on this one too.

Photobucket
This is one of my friends Ashley and her way cute boys. She is one of the funniest girls I know. Not to mention GORGEOUS!

My Siblings

Every time I clicked on our blog, I'd see that scary stand off thing as my first post and it was starting to get on my nerves, so I figured I needed to find something good to blog about. Nothing really exciting is going on quite yet, so that's why I'm putting a pic of my family up. Well, the siblings anyways. This pic was taken 3 years ago by Scott Hancock Photography. We have added Camilla's husband and little Bugs since then. Oh... and Kobs looks a lot different too.

Anyways, I totally love them. They're amazing.
