Photography

Matt got me and SLR camera for Christmas 3 years ago and I FINALLY learned how to use it on manual. I found a photography class at UVU that is part of their Continuing Education. It was a lot of fun and I actually understand my camera now and it is so nice. I actually can't believe it took me so long to take a class to learn about it. I had no idea how much goes in to photography. I have practiced on Carter a bit, so these pictures are some that I've taken since starting the class.

Carter of course doesn't sit still for more than 2 seconds, but was able to catch a few good pictures.

I thought this flower was really pretty.

Those are just a few pictures I have taken. If anyone wants any pictures I would gladly practice on you for free.

Girls Weekend in St. George

In August the girls in my family went on a girls trip to St. George. We do it about every year and we also go watch a play and the Tuacahn Theater. There is usually lots of shopping involved too. This year was smaller than the other years. Some of my sis-in-laws couldn't make it and I sure missed them.

This picture made me laugh...it sure shows our excitement to watch the play.

Sabrina, me and my cousin Bailey. Her and her mom came with us this year and it was a lot of fun having them there.

The next morning we went to Kneaders for breakfast. It was delicious as always. After we ate we headed up TJ Max and the outlet malls. After that we went and got some ice cream and then headed back to the condo. The next morning we went hot tubbing and then packed up and headed home. It was such a nice getaway with the ladies.

Thanksgiving Point

In July my sister, Sabrina, came with her husband and girls for a visit. While they were here we went to Thanksgiving Point Farm. Their girls and Carter loved seeing all of the different animals.

The had an area for kids to go play and see what they do on a farm. They had fun playing with all of the crops on the tractor.

Carter wasn't sure what he thought of the pony. He thought it was fun, but was kind of scared to be on it. He's afraid of most animals since they are so big, so it made him a bit nervous.

My sister, Sabrina, and I.

We also went on a carriage ride and all of the kids really liked that.
