Staying Busy!

Sorry to all of you who might have visited my blog in the last little bit and was sadly disappointed in the fact that I have been away,. I know, I know I have been saying it to myself you wanted this now stick with it.   Sorry!

  Now that is out of the way.  Welcome back to you all, whoever you might be I am glad to be back I have been to the warmer side of UTAH in the red rocks and early heat of the white sand dunes for easter with the family.  We had so much fun riding four wheelers and sitting around the campfire, my family is so much fun to hang out with.  We went the whole weekend without serious incident until my brother Tyler and his family tried to go home early ahead of us and ended up getting stuck in the sand.  Again, thanks to my family we rushed to help dig them out  and get them on there way home.  Unfortunately they ended up leaving their front bumper with us and my other brother Bronson was able to work is magic and fix/ save the bumper.










  Denise and I then traveled even further south to ST. George first to visit my wife's family that we have not seen in awhile  ( Many thanks again to Steve & Linda Stay and to Bill & Norma Stay)they were gracious enough to let us crash at their homes and second to take as many senior high school portraits as possible.  Oh and many thanks to the Desert Hills High School "Thunder" I had a great time taking pictures of their highly competitive games, last Friday against Hurricane High and Pine View last Tuesday, You guys Rock and I hope you all enjoy some of the great shots that were captured.  

    

 I am proud to announce that my happy smiling baby boy has now got his two front teeth and he swam in the pool for the first time ever and he is such a cute little fish he naturally took to the water kicking and swimming,  he floated on his back and kicked and loved it unless you tried to help him to keep his head up off the water it really made him nervous which is great and so I am now way excited for this summer it was a blast.


                                                                                                                                                                                                              I got the great honor of shooting the very important 1 year old portraits of Dallin B.  Kirsten your son is so busy and was a blast to photograph and your daughter Abby is always so fun to talk to what a great personality she has.  


 












     It's Wednesday and now I only have one more day to work this week but, after being at work after being off is always hard to go back to.  It is made a lot easier working with the guys I work with, "thank you" for covering for me while I was out you do make it easier to come back.  Even though the first call from a customer that is an idiot makes it all come back to you really quickly, so much for a vacation. 


It has been fun catching you all up with the craziness that is my life.  I hope to next post leave you all with some helpful photography tips that you can use to capture pics of your kids and family any where using any camera especially the point and shoot kind.  
  Thank you to all that support me and my photography and of course my "Family"  you are all wonderful.

Out in the Rain

So I went out yesterday, early in the morning just before it started to rain and I was going to find the perfect shot.  However I don't think I found the perfect shot but I did find some interesting subjects.  Please take and look and tell me what you think,

      Came home tonight ready to just veg-out because after the week I have been having, I am feeling exhausted.   Instead, Bryson greeted me with the cutest smile, he is getting so big. He is now 7 months old "And Growing" as the song goes.  Well that changed my whole mood and instantly I was ready to play.

   What is it about your kids that makes you feel better about everything, except for when they are being naughty (I am not to that point yet).    I  started to fix dinner after I stole him from his mom, he loves to cook with dad, after that it was time to wrestle because that is what dads are suppose to do right?    He is really into dad beating up his teddy bear, he loves to tackle is bear and squeal at the top of his lungs it totally makes my night.

  My wife and I had the talk last night, the one you have with your spouse after you have anything new like kids or animals.  She looks at Bryson and says to me  "What did we ever talk about before you"  being the typical man  I quickly said "All kinds of things, mostly things that had nothing to do about babies or animals".  I started to try and think of one of our many conversations we use to have and realized that I cannot remember a single one.  Since my entire life "just like my beautiful wife" has become totally about Bryson.

 Honestly,  being a dad was the one of the last things I had on my mind but life does not go according to your plans you adjust your plans for life.  In fact, kids whining in stores and restaurants drove me absolutely crazy and it still does but I am finding that I am a little more patient.
