Weekend in Provo

Here are some pictures of the girls playing on our trip this weekend to Provo. They had a lot of fun playing together and I am selfishly grateful that they are back in Provo for now.

Update coming soon

An update with photos of my family reunion to IL will be coming soon. Someday when I am not so exhausted and frustrated with coworkers.

For My Crazy, Crafty (in a good way) Sister In Law

Dear Trina,

It seems that your crazy craftiness is rubbing off on me. Every time that I walk into a craft store I am drawn to the fabric section, which is quite silly since I do not sew. However I find myself sorting through stacks of fat quarters looking for fun prints. Well today happened to be one of those days, and I found some cute ones. So what was I supposed to do? Buy them of course. Now I have some really cute fabric quarters and nothing to do with them. They don't all go together to make a fun cute quilt or anything. Plus the fact still remains that I do not sew. So, I have these cute fabric quarters that are yours if you desire them. See the photos below. If you do not want them I will simply return them no harm done. If you do want them I can either mail them to your temporary residence or bring them to IL and give them to you then. Please advise.

Sincerely your Crazy, Goofy, non-sewing SIL,
Gwen

4th of July Sky

These Photos are from the 4th of July. We had a nasty rainstorm at about 7:30 that lasted for an hour or so, and this is what it left behind at sunset.

5 Hours Later....

So I started uploading all the pictures last night. As you can see they are not here. The files are way to large to put on the blog. So I uploaded the entire album to www.mpix.com. I will just send a share file to everyone and it will have the option to buy the photos. It's pretty reasonable, I so far have selected 48 prints, mostly 4x6 size and several larger ones for my walls and I am only at $29. They get cheaper the more that you buy. So if you want to just buy them yourselves, or pick the photos and sizes you want them in and let me know. I have a copy of the CD that I can send if you want to download them to your digital albums (mom & dad), as long as you mail it back.

There are multiple pics of each shot because they were edited differently of the size is larger. Let me know! I am excited to keep ordering. I may have too much fun with this!

Watch for the email! Oh and if you order yourself make sure you Check "Do Not Color Correct" at the checkout. Otherwise you won't get what you are looking at.

Okay well here is one at least!

It's in the Mail!

My CD of pictures from our photoshoot is in the mail and should be here in a couple of days! I am super excited and can't wait to start making prints. Everyone get your wallets ready! :D Meegan posted some more on the website today and so far the B&W is my favorite. When I get the CD I will publish as many as I can on the blog except for the ones Meegan has already published. So if you want any prints of those let me know. Watch for photos on here soon. They will probably come Thursday when I am in Utah visiting my SIL and nieces before they move to Arkansas. Then I work all day Friday and Saturday, but hopefully by Sunday I will publish some. I loved this photoshoot. It was fun to watch Chloe be herself and was well worth the saved up money. I wouldn't have gotten near this quality or selection at a portrait studio. Although after seeing some of the photos I have realized more and more how much weight I am putting on and my desire to get back in shape has increased significantly. Once Chloe is more comfortable at her gym classes I will use the 45 minutes of time each day (4 days a week) to work out. My goal is 20 pounds in 6 months. Or sooner if I can. I am working better at eating healthier though in this heat with no air conditioning it is hard to have the desire to cook. So that might actually be to my benefit if I just eat salad everyday! :D

Miss you all!
