Cute Families!

I love to take pictures and these two beautiful families asked me to take theirs. I was so excited to do it. I always get nervous worrying that they won't like them, but I was wrong. They loved them. I still have a lot to learn. Here are a few pics I took. The 2nd family had 25 people which was a huge challenge for me, but great experience.

A girls night out in Park City

I love being a wedding coordinator, but I love even more the women I work with.  We work long hard hours to make the brides dreams come true by making her wedding day the most special day of her life. We have a blast working, laughing, and stressing together.  This was a well needed night off  staying at a 5 star resort at the Canyons, eating yummy food, playing fun games, watching movies, and of course shopping.  I love all of these women.  They are really special and I am so lucky to have them in my life.  They make me a better person.

Jana and Bre decided that someone should use the jucuzi tub!  Nice bubble bath!

Austin and The Head Gear

All those that remember the 80's movies where the nerd wore head gear will get a kick out of this.  Austin has to wear head gear at night and everytime I see him wear it  I just start to laugh.  So, we had some fun taking pictures.  The second one gets me giggling all over again. 

An update on our pool.

Ok...Here is the swimming pool that Grant built with the liner and water in it now.  Our neighbor came over and couldn't believe it.  He said he had never seen anyone build a pool themselves from the begining to the end. He was pretty impressed as we all are. Me... I am very happy the pool cover is on so I don't have to lose any more sleep worrying that someone might fall in.  Thanksgiving is the goal to swim.  We still need cement and the water to be heated, but pictures will be taken of our big event. That you can be sure of.

I'm so proud of Austin!

Austin decided to try out for the Junior High Basketball team.  We were really excited for him.  He made the first cut and then the second cut out of 80 boys.  The next cut would be for the team.  We were all really nervous.  The next morning we found out he didn't make the team and the coach said he was really impressed by Austin, but he was the last one cut.  It was hard to take, but Austin is determined to make the team next year.  I am so proud of him.  He didn't let this get him down.  I'm so lucky to be his mom.

Halloween!

Anyone who knows me knows I don't love Halloween.  I mean it is the day of the dead. Yuck!  However Grant and I did manage to go to the temple and do work for the dead on the day of the dead.  Now I like that.  Anyways....It's fun for the kids.  Here they are dresseing up and getting ready to do there Thriller dance as Young Women and Young Men at the ward's Trunk-or-Treat Party!  The kids were awesome.  They ended the dance with Austin doing a back flip.  I have it on video...I will try and get it down loaded.  It was awesome! I would like to think they get their dancing skills from me.

Scary!

Thriller Dance!

Marissa still looks cute even when she is trying to be scary.

Here we are...doing what we do best....handing out candy in the back of our car.

Bre and Daisha showed up just in time for the candy.

Our Pool!

So... Grant decided he wants to build a pool in our backyard, but the catch is....he is building it himself.  He has worked every weekend in the hole in the last two months except when we had bad weather.  They pour the pool-crete next week and put in the liner.  We should have water by the end of next week.  Just in time for winter. LOL  No...Grant wanted it done before he went to Afganistan. I am so proud of him.  He has done a great job! I will post more pictures next week.  I think we will be swimming on Thanksgiving.

Family Pictures

I thought to myself.....What better place to take family pictures than in Hawaii. So we did.  It was a little hard putting the camera on a tripod and running into the pictures, but I think they turned out nice.
