Ana's baptism photo shoot

Last night we got Ana all done up and took her to some spots around town to do a little photo shoot of her in her baptism dress. We had such a good time, well at least I did, I'm not sure Ana LOVED it. She was hot and sweaty. These first few pictures are some of the pics that Chris took with his camera.













These next few are some that I took with my camera that were some of my favorites.



















I'm pretty pleased with how these all turned out... of course the subject matter was pretty beautiful! I just can't believe how grown up she looks!

All grown up

It always amazes me when I get a wedding announcement in the mail from one of my former colorguard girls. Not because they found someone to marry, but because to me they will always be little junior high/high school kids... forever and ever.
I only taught at Riverton for one year, but in that year I met some of the most amazing girls ever. 

Mylee was one of those amazing girls! What an honor it was to be asked by her to make her wedding cake! 
Yesterday was her wedding and what a beautiful bride she was! It was fun to be a part of her special day, thanks for asking me Miles, it meant a lot!

Our weekend in Pineview!

We got home today from a fabulous weekend of camping with our dear friends up at Pineview Reservoir. This has become an annual tradition in our neighborhood, this was the third year that we have gone and we honestly look forward to it every year. This year certainly didn't disappoint! 

The days were filled with playing at the beach, boating, wake boarding, tubing, crafting, game playing, sand volleyball playing, friend playing, swimming, sun bathing and junk food eating. The nights were filled with, campfire sitting, marshmallow roasting, Werewolf playing, and just enjoying each others company. 

We truly feel so blessed to have so many wonderful friends in our neighborhood, they are AMAZING people, some of the best we have ever lived by. As I sit here typing I am reminded from my aching body, just how much fun we had on the water. I tried wake boarding and ACTUALLY got up and skied around for a few minutes before crashing. I was so proud of Faisal and Ana. Faze tried tubing and LOVED it, Ana tried water skiing and was not so in love with it. I'm just so proud that they tried it. Sienna and Tae ate it up tubing and knee boarding. We were in a different campsite this year because our normal site was already booked, the new site had an awesome sand volleyball court that the kids LOVED hanging out at, not only playing volleyball but also playing in the sand. The water was pretty high this year so there wasn't much of a beach, so it was pretty cool that they had another sandy area to play in. Warning! Lot's of pictures!
































 Here is a video I took of Ana skiing for her first time!
