April 27th

Shanna had a boutique at the Bear River City Civic Center. There were quite a few vendors with a lot of fun things. Shanna had a Scentsy booth with all her fun stuff. I hung out there for the day and then had to head to Huntsville for a photo session for my friend Sara's little boy. I haven't been to Huntsville in years it was nice to get out of my neck of the woods and go somewhere else. He was a busy boy, but a lot of fun to shoot. Two year olds you just have to go with the flow and do what they want to do.

Afterwards, I took the kids to El Matador to eat. Again a place I haven't been to probably since high school. It was very yummy.

Then we headed home. We were all tired from a long day. Didn't get home until about 10:00. Maisie and Parker are such troopers. I can drag them just about any where with me and they for the most part are really good. Only fight a little bit. 

Photo Sessions

I have been so busy with photo sessions this month. It has been kind of stressful and I have learned that I am not going to take on more than a couple sessions each month. We just seem to have too much going on and I like to have the sessions edited and to the clients within a week or two. It has been good and I love doing it, but I realized I need to make time for the family. May should be much better. So far I only have one scheduled.

1st Camping trip of the year

Now that we have our trailer we are always anxious to go out for our first camping trip and are not afraid to brave the weather. We knew it was going to be a little rainy, but that didn't stop us. We went with Eric's friends from work Jace and Ashley. A couple other friends from his work came up. We decided to go up Cub River, between Franklin, ID and Preston. We camped in a parking lot because everything was so wet. We left our house when the kids got out of school at 3:15 and picked them up with the truck and trailer and then headed up there. We were the first ones there, but soon Ashley and her little girl, Gianna, arrived. It sprinkled off and on, but when Jace arrived he put up his canopy and we just stayed huddled under the canopy and put it to the edge of the fire. Other than the rain it really wasn't too cold. 

We stayed up kind of late just visiting and having good time. It's just nice to enjoy the outdoors and good friends.

Saturday it rained until about 3:00 in the afternoon. We stayed in our trailers until the rain let up and then we were able to go outside. The kids couldn't wait to get on their bikes. Parker insisted that he still could ride his bike in the rain. Once he went out, he had about an inch of mud on his tires. 

Later that day Eric's friend Gary and Jaren came up with their trailers. There were a few other friends that came for a little bit and then left.

Of course, because we were going home on Sunday it was the nicest day. The sun was out and no rain. We still had a great time and glad that we went. Can't wait for our next trip. 

Visiting Price

Eric's sister Bridget has been trying to schedule me to take pictures of Raygon for a month. It has been hard to get our schedules to cooperate, but finally we were able to make it work. We headed down to Price after Eric got off of work Friday night. We didn't leave until about 7:45 p.m. and got to Mary's about 10:30. I hate driving at night. I am always afraid of hitting animals in the canyon. The weather was kind of temperamental and I was worried it was going to be raining for Raygon's pictures, but it worked out. She is such a cutie and has so much energy and life. 

We went to the dinosaur museum and then let the kids play at the park for a little bit, before heading to Cody's.

We hung out at Cody and Lexi's in their back shop with a bunch of their friends. It was fun hanging out, socializing, and having a bbq. I can tell that Eric really misses his family and friends. Wish we could make it down there more often, but our schedule's have just become more crazy.
