Kallie's photo shoot

I had the opportunity of taking some pictures for Kallie. She is getting ready to graduate from her Dental Assisting program and wanted some pictures taken for her announcements. I am not going to lie I was very nervous when they asked me because I have really only done pictures for my family. But I had so much fun and I am so grateful that I got this opportunity. Here are just a few that I ended up editing. After I deleted the bad ones we still had 158 good ones:) so it was a great photo shoot. I hope you enjoy

EASTER 2012

TODAY WAS A GREAT DAY.. AS SOON AS I WOKE UP THIS MORNING I WAS OVERTAKEN BY THE SPIRIT AND I WAS VERY EMOTIONAL. I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR MY SAVIOR AND FOR ALL HE HAS DONE FOR ME. I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I WAS ABLE TO TEACH MY 3-4 YEAR OLD'S TODAY ABOUT WHAT EASTER IS ALL ABOUT. THE ATONEMENT IS AN AMAZING GIFT THAT WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
AFTER CHURCH WE HEADED UP TO ALMO AND THEN ONTO THE CITY OF ROCKS WITH A LOT OF MY MOMS FAMILY FOR A PICNIC. WE GOT TO ALMO BEFORE THEY WERE OUT OF CHURCH SO WE WENT TO MY GRANDMA'S HOUSE AND HID EGGS FOR MADISON TO FIND. SHE GOT SUCH A KICK OUT OF FINDING THEM. MY DAD AND CHASE ALSO FIXED MT GRANDMA'S SWING AND MADISON THOUGHT SHE WAS IN HEAVEN SHE LOVES TO SWING. ONCE WE GOT TO THE CITY OF ROCKS WE ATE AND THEN WENT ON A HIKE, CLIMBED SOME ROCKS. IT WAS JUST A BEAUTIFUL DAY TO BE OUTSIDE AND ENJOYING THIS WONDERFUL SUNSHINE WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED WITH.

Happy Easter..

I found this video and it brought tears to my eyes. What an amazing message this lady has relayed through this song. I am so grateful for this Easter Season and for my testimony of Jesus Christ’s love for each and every one of us. It is the gift of Jesus’s Life, Death and Atonement which truly is “the Miracle that rescues you and I. I pray that we might all remember what Our Brother has done for all of us.

Denver Day 5, 6

On Thursday I decided to head out to a Butterfly Pavilion. It was one of the coolest things I have been to. There were thousands of Butterflies and some beautiful flowers. There were several times when the butterflies would try to land on you, freaked me out sometimes!! They also had a creepy crawler section too.

Todd got out of his Training early on Thursday so we decided to head over to the Stadium where the Denver Broncos play. I have always been a big fan of the COLTS!! And it makes me so sad that Peyton Manning is going to play for Denver now. So I had to go check out his new stomping grounds.

We then headed out to Dave & Busters where we had dinner and the traffic was freaking crazy it was backed up for a long time. They had it catered for us and then we all got a card that had 75 tokens on it and unlimited video games. It was a fun way to spend our last night in Denver. Todd and I also went next door to an Imax theater and went a saw The Hunger Games. The lady and the ticket office gave us 3D glasses so we were goofying around with them.

We woke up Friday morning and started our long journey back to Malta. we decided to go through Wyoming this time and we got to Cheyenne we missed our exit and ended up going 20 miles out of the way. But we made it back to where we needed to be and started our journey across Wyoming. The was was INSANE.. I thought it blew hard here in Idaho but it is nothing compared to Wyoming. We stopped at Little America, it is crazy how you can picture something completely different than what it really looks like. We made it back to Malta at about 6:30.. It was a long trip but I am so grateful that I got to go and I got to spend time with my husband.. It was a lot of fun to get to go to Denver I would love to go back. Maybe next time we will fly ten+ hours in a car is too long for me:)

Denver Day 3, 4

So on Tuesday I woke up to this ALOT OF SNOW!! I was not really feeling like driving around Denver while it was snowing so I hung out in the hotel while Todd went to his training. I went out to get some lunch and that was it. It was just cold and miserable. Todd got back to the hotel around four and then at 5:30 we met everyone else down in the lobby and we headed to the Cherry Cricket for dinner. I was very good. It didn't take us too long to eat so Todd and I decided to go to the Aquarium. I have always wanted to go to an Aquarium and it was alot of fun.

 This big turtle kept following us around. We had to walk through a tunnel at this point so he could swim on both sides of us and over the top of us. It was pretty cool there was also this shark that just hung out on the top.

 Got to love that they had a tank just for FINDING NEMO!!

 After we got out of the Aquarium we walked out to this. It was beautiful. I am so sad that I couldn't get a better picture. But it was so cold and my hands were frozen.

 Finally on Wednesday I woke up to sunshine. So I decided to go shopping. So I headed to this little strip mall and found a Maurices and got me some new clothes I was super excited. That night we went to dinner at Benihana, It is a Japanese steakhouse.
