Deer Hunt 2012

 I got to go deer hunting for the first time this year, with Josh and the boys.  I was filling in for Aaron.  I took my camera and took only like 5 pictures the entire weekend.

 We had a great time, camping in the most desolate place imaginable.  There were deer though!  The whole time I was on the hillside on opening morning, I just kept thinking how crazy this was, and that the likelihood of really being shot, was there.  Kinda crazy! 

 JD had so much fun and was so tired by the end.  Lots of sun, hiking and late nights.

 When we got home on Sunday night, we grabbed the other kiddos and went for a quick trip up to Pine Valley to scout things out.  Isn't she the cutest thing ever?

 I don't know, he's pretty cute too :).

What a great weekend!  We did eventually end up with 2 deer.  A 4 point and an Elliot deer that only had a horn on one side.

Me and My Bestie

 I love this guy. Seriously, 12 years together and I love him more and more each day.

 Oh, there are days that he drives me Crazy!!  Like up the walls crazy, but I would never want to go through this life with anyone else by my side. 

I'll even include this one for posterity sake.  Kids, your dad is a crazy guy, but love him anyway!

My Greatest Blessings

 My greatest blessings and accomplishments in life, call me mom!  There is nothing that I could have done with my life, that can amount to that title.  It is the greatest title and honor that I could ever have.

 I am so blessed to have 3 beautiful, smart and talented kids.

There are no words powerful enough to convey how much I love them.  But believe me when I say, I do love them with all my heart and soul.

My Beautiful Family

We've had lots of family pictures.  And each year it seems to me that I love them more and more.  Maybe, I don't really love the pictures more, but I love the subjects of the pictures more and more.  Life is crazy and hectic and I think it's important to capture these moments.  These faces that I love.  Although time moves on and things will change, a moment captured in film, will never change.  It will always be a perfect moment in time. 

 I love my family so much! We are not perfect, but together we are all perfect for each other.



Thank you to my wonderful friend Lynnette for capturing these moments for us.  I LOVE them and will cherish them always!

Football

This is JD's last year of flag football.  He's just to big and to good to keep playing flag.  It's off to tackle next year.  And boy, oh boy, is he in for a wake up call.  We'll see how he does.  He's so hard on himself.  He gets that from him mom.  He is really good though.  I love watching him and capturing these moments.  They go by all to fast.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

P.S., I love my new telephoto lens!

Dixie Round Up

My kids love a good reason to dress up in their cowboy and cowgirl gear!  Dixie Round Up is a favorite for the kids!  This was my kiddos before school that day.  And yes Piper is eating a popsicle at 8 am.  I blame Grandpa Scott and Dad for this obsession.

The girls waiting for the rodeo to begin.

 Tyson, Camden, JD and BayLee.

 This kid loves rodeo!

 But maybe not as much as this kid.  If we lived in Piute county I have a feeling this one would be a full fledged cowboy.

Awww, Wrangler butts drive me nuts!

Twilight Football Game

I LOVE our neighborhood.  Josh and I have talked about moving so many times, but I don't think I could, because I can't think of a more perfect neighborhood to raise my kids in.  This was a football game that Brother Moulton started the other night with all the kids who were playing in front of my house.  They boys loved it.  So greatful for good neighbors and a all the kids in my neighborhood!

Princess Breakfast

We had the chance to go to Breakfast with the Princesses.  We only did it because Brooke was playing Rapunzel's little sister. We were so glad we went.  It was a huge production and so well put together.  Piper loved it!

 

She got to go on stage with the princesses and learn how to curtsey.



 There were several girls in my ward who were in this and it was so much fun.  they did a great job.

 Up on the stage.

 Pipers very favorite part of the whole thing was this cute little frog.  This girl can do amazing things with her little body.  She was flipping and jumping all over the place.

 Piper with Brooke and Belle!

One of the cute little Roger girls!  I can't remember which one. 

Mini Cheerleaders

 Piper had the chance to do a mini cheer clinic at Snow Canyon.  Her besties did it with her of course.  Jordyn, Pip, Addison and Adilyn!

 You can count on my kid being silly.  They got to cheer at one of the football games.

 I love telephoto lenses.  I wouldn't have been able to see her otherwise.

 They learned a cheer and did a dance to Call Me Maybe by Katy Perry.  It was so cute.

 Piper was so sassy.  The video is darling.

 We stayed and watched the rest of the game after they danced.

I love these 3 cutie pies!
