Family Picture Day

Old Fashioned pose?


Nope, can't do it

We're well versed in the Prom poses though

Here's an impromptu interpretation of what it feels like if your mom is a crazy slave driver when it comes to taking family pictures..and, I'm sure this about how your feeling if you're still looking at these:

So much to catch up on, and with school starting and a slow computer to boot, It won't be easy but I'm vowing to give it a shot. I really need to print my blog about now... I'm almost two years into it. Two years! I love the chronology for my family, but I sometimes wonder just how much time I've used up doing this. For now, I'm still happy with it. It may just mean less posts, but I do feel like my family enjoys keeping up with us from afar. Anyway, thanks for taking an interest! Til next time :)

Phone pics etc...

Well, about all I can do from afar is load my pictures from my phone. To document what we've been doing, I figured I'd post a few along with minimal explanations. My fave kind of post. :)

Here's a delicious bowl full of raspberries picked by me each morning in about ten minutes. LOve. It.

This is actually a concert that Sam and I went to back home the night before we left on vacay, tons of fun!
Down at the street fair we came across these super cool custom longboards made from vintage water skis. So awesome.

Here we are stopping by the "Rock of Fame" that my Dad recently had his name added to due to his contributions/sharing knowledge with the city. Pretty cool Grandpa.

This is another one that's out of chronological order and was also back home in Ut. Here I am being shown by my good friend Cassidy where to find Diane Von Furstenburg dresses. This dress was amazing! Like butta. Felt like a dream.

Me kicking up my heels after wakeboarding, an activity that has occupied at least 50% of my time here in Cd'A.

The three musketeers down at the street fair enjoying some sherbet!

Last but definitely not least, the view I enjoyed last night while downtown. The kids were running around chasing seagulls and loving every minute of it. I loved it too, it was a beautiful end to a beautiful day.

I'm so thankful to be from such an amazing place, and as much as I love it here, I love it home in UT too; thanks mostly to my friends. I hope you're all doing awesome and know I'm missing you!! See you soon!

We are here...

Yes, we are here. Well, not home so much, but at least alive and kicking. We've been having a lot of fun this summer and basically wearing the kids out in general. Soon I'll be home, loading up all sorts of pictures; but for now I'll just have to settle for this:

A gem of a picture off my Dad's computer. That chubby little sassy gal would be me -about 29 years ago. I'm thinkin my mom may have had something to do with that haircut... either that or one of my four brothers.
