Mission pics

I love when I have a chance to practice my photography.  It isn't something that I feel I can do full time, or even part time, right now, but I love that I get asked every now and then to do a shoot.

Here are a few snapshots of one of my dear friend's son who is preparing to leave for Argentina soon.

Great website.

I want to share this website. We are loving it. I want to start a scripture journal now. Cache and I have started to used some the scripture study ideas. Even Eden is using some of the advice she gives on studying the scriptures. The Redheaded hostess. <---click

GLooooRIA

I had to take my camera to church last Sunday for a project that I am working on for the bishop(i don't usually take my camera to church) and I loved this moment so much I just had to take a picture of it. I held the camera way down low and tried to be as sneaky as I could. I wasn't sure how fellow worshipers would feel about me taking pictures during a sacred service. shhhh-don't tell anyone.

Angels We Have Heard on High

FHE

We are going to be learning this song for FHE tonight(there is an updated version on Sugardoodle.net which includes Elder Neil L. Anderson). Not only will it teach Peanut and Finley the apostles, but it will help me and Chuckles too, we are always getting the apostles mixed up. This last week we were able to attend our first temple session at the Draper Temple and we were in the same session as Elder Richard G. Scott, we were trying to remember what his talk was about at Genenral Conference 4 days before. We were totally wrong we said it was on Provident Living and no it was on Temple Worship. Hopefully this song will help us keep them all straight.

WOW, wow, wow!

I know this is probablly posted all over the web, but I was totally amazed by this girl's knowledge of the LDS church and I wanted to document it for me to watch again (and maybe again).

A movie by our Youth

This is hilarious, we had an movie night in our stake in which we had to present a BofM story, and the production had to include a vacuum, which explains the "vacuum brigade". It is 6 minutes long and look for peanuthead, since she had to come to Young Womens with me on the night of filming they gave her a part.

Sad day

I about fell over when I started my nightly ritual of reading the news and saw that our prophet passed away today. It is sweet that he was able to pass away so quickly and without much pain. I am sure he is rejoicing at being with his sweet wife again. I love that man.

A Conference Break

Kids bring a challange to watching General Conference, in fact I don't know if it is possible, has anyone found a trick to keeping them occupied during a session? Thanks goodness for TiVo. After what felt like a WWF wrestling match during the sunday morning session, Cache and I thought we would take the kids to the park for a picnic and kite flying. The weather was cool, but nice and the kids enjoyed being out of the house.

Here is Eden with her impression of the kite, she wanted it to fly like the birds.

She did the monkey bars on her own for the first time and was so proud of herself. Can you see the terror on her face? She is complaining of sore arms today.

Asher thought it was great to be able to run and slide and be free from the confines of the house.

I thought this picture was cute of Cache and Asher, they have so much fun together.

As we returned home to watch the afternoon session Asher was tired enough to take a nap and Eden was content to watch a movie downstairs by herself. Cache and I enjoyed a great session, and especially enjoyed the peace and quiet.
