This One's For Jamie!

Just checking to see if you're paying attention ;) Here are Jamie and Michelle circa 1985, in our apartment at Ricks College. I wish you could see the rest of our outfits, I'm sure they were fabulously 80's. That's our Hawaii wall behind us (along with a Miami Vice poster of course.) We were on the countdown to BYU Hawaii. Such fun memories, one of my favorite years! I'm glad we can keep our friendship alive, Material Girls Forever!!

Homecoming Dance

I guess it's truly a Homecoming, since Colton is going back to his old high school for the Homecoming dance! His very beautiful (and nice and sweet and fun) date is McKinzie Moore. She is a Senior at Sky View this year.

Since McKinzie has connections at the florist, she had a boutonniere made to match the corsage we had ordered!

After spending the day horseback riding up at Bear Lake, these two clean up very nicely. I think they make a cute couple!

In A Fall Kind Of Mood

I know, I know, everyone is trying to hold on to the last bits of summer, but I have to say it: I love the Fall! It is my favorite time of the year. It's been a little cooler in the evenings lately, and as my mom would say, feels a little "Fallish." I love the colors of Fall, the foods, the clothes, the holidays and the leaves! I sometimes feel like a gypsy in the Fall and want to just fly away somewhere. This year though, I'm looking forward to settling in to more of a routine, and getting some things done around my house! Happy Fall!!

Kate is Great!

Kate is Eight! Kate is Great! Kate has a chocolate cake! The cake makers were at it again for our cute friend Katie's eighth birthday! Since Katie loves horses, we made a chocolate brown horse cake and it was yummy! Happy Birthday, Katie, we're so glad you're our neighbor and friend!!


Hey you eight year old cutie patootie!!

Here's a real horse for you, Katie, her name is "L"!

Extreme Missionary Makeover

Wow! Here's the before and after of Colton's haircut. He came home for dinner last Sunday with this new 'do. We hurried and snapped some photos so we'll have one to attach to his missionary papers. About 2 more months and those papers will be going in! Do you think he looks old enough yet to go on a mission?

Party Like A Princess!

We partied like Princesses last night at Young Women. We invited the little Junior Primary girls to join us and we gave them a Princess party complete with costumes, crowns, pin the kiss on the frog prince, frames and photos, cupcakes, story time, and even doing the "princess walk." Those little girls just ate it up, but I suspect the older girls were having just as good of a time!

Here are some of the princesses working on their frames.

Kori (Giselle) and I (Evil Queen Narcissa)got our costume ideas from the movie Enchanted.

Oh Giselle!

It's fun to be evil!

Bedtime stories for the little princesses!

Miss Photographer!

Kori's dream has come true, she made yearbook photographer for her school this year!! Yippee! She is soooo excited and we are so happy for her and proud! Here is a small sampling of some of my favorite recent photos from Kori, Miss Photographer:

She took this one at yearbook camp this summer when the yearbook staff had the run of the school. It just seems like a happy photo to me.

Here are 2 of Kori's best friends Kenna and Kate. She has about a million pics of these cutie patooties, but this one's my fave.

Here's just an interesting perspective of a sundial. It's all about the details, and Kori loves these kinds of up close, interesting photos.

Kori took a lot of fireworks shots this summer, and this simple one is my favorite of the bunch.

And of course, a self portrait! I'm sure this isn't her best one or her favorite but it's just such a Kori face, I love it!!


Congratulations, you're an official photographer, now the work will begin!
