December 24 - This Christmas

My roommate, Marin, made this Christmas card for our us. Wishing you big smiles this season.

August 13 - Beck Bash

Among the crazy getting hitched frenzy were friends Rob & Jen.

Rob was really excited about his socks.

Pink was the theme. They had painted these crocket sets to play with.

Rob's brother, Richard, enjoying the music.

Jen was beautiful and I was playing with my new camera.

This cheesecake was incredible! They actually ran out of desserts and cut up the wedding cut before the bride and groom.

Someone else playing with my new camera.

Meredith and I

Rebekah and I played together at Amy's Canadian wedding too.

The cute Bride

They had a huge turn out down at Millenial Falls in Draper, Utah. They asked me to take pictures, so I have a ton of all the friends from the ward and dancing. It was great. We later decorated their car where they stayed that night before they took off to the airport the next morning for a honeymoon in Mexico.

I have found that I really enjoy weddings.

July 24-27 - Bear Lake

Morgan, Mom, Madison and I watched the Pioneer Parade like last year and the many years growing up.
Morgan rode with me up to Bear Lake, but she wasn't much company. :)

A little set up.

With a break or two in between.

Bandana Buddies

Madison being old and anti-social.

Gypsy keeping guard.

We can't forget the raft.

So we pile in......literally. It was just at the end of camp.
Janna got to meet up there too.
Mushy had a ball in the water.
Olivia wasn't effected by the coolness of the sunset.
A couple of mommies keeping watch.
A gorgeous sunset.
Several more days at the beach.
Supervision.
Mushy is perfectly content playing alone.
Madison practicing her ice skating jumps.
Mo burying herself.
Exhausted.
Every summer my family would go camping up Ogden Canyon. Last year, my mom moved us to Bear Lake. Minus the mosquitoes...and it is a fantastically good time.

Um....

A friend of a friend of a friend posted this on this on her blog. Take the time to read the link:

MY SCREENPLAY ADAPTATION OF STEPHENIE MEYER'S "TWILIGHT"By Eric D. Snider

Bobbie and I couldn't stop laughing at this line: "He (Edward) is hot buttered seduction on a stick. I'm not interested in him sexually, of course, because sex is dirty, but wow -- LOOK AT HIM!"

July 22 - Maceroo

Every day with Macie is a special day.

July 20 - Birthdays

Long time friend, Brooke, has an adorable family. She throws great parties. Crazy to think some 14 years later we would still be hanging out at the zoo.

July 18 - Family Lunch

Megen was in town and I was able to meet up with everyone for lunch!

July 16 - Relief Society Presidency

President Mindy had a bridal shower. As good counselors Marin and I supported her.

July 15 - Night on the Town

Amanda has always wanted to treat her grandparents to a limo ride and dinner at Benihanas. When she did, she invited me to join in the family fun.

The one requirement...I had to find a date. Not an easy task.
But a friend John stepped up to the plate.

Amanda's parents and Aunt Shirlayne & Neal too.

We coordinated our outfits.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Inkley for an excuse for a great night.

Thanks for letting me share this special day with your family Amanda. :)

July 12 - Classic Summertime

Old time friend, Meigan, was expecting her second child after something like eight years. My day started with attending her shower with Nikki.

Then friends Ryan and Travis had a combined second annual slip n' slide birthday party.

They added soap.

By the time I got there after the shower the group had wheedled down.

A more intimate group returned to Marin's for the evening.

starving of course.

keepers.

The birthday boys and the huge cake.

Night Volleyball.
The day was complete. enjoyable.
