Conference Weekend Scrapbooking

Derick had a track meet in Delta on Saturday and so I didn’t think that I would be able to get any scrapbooking done at my Sister Lori’s because I thought that we wouldn’t get there till late Saturday.  But Derick finished earlier that we thought so we were able to go up earlier to Lori’s.  So I did get some scrapbooking done.  It was fun!2003 throwing rocks in the river2003 tyler & Snail2007 Kaitlin Tumbling class2011 Derick Photoshoot2011 Derick Photoshoot 22011 Kaitlin Photoshoot2011 Kaitlin Photoshoot 22011 Tyler Photoshoot2011 Tyler Photoshoot 22011 Derick Track Discus

Throwing Eggs at the Bridge!!!

2003 Throwing eggs at the Bridge with sister ballardWe were staying in Leamington and Sister Ballard call and asked us if we wanted to go throw eggs at the bridge.  WHAT?   Sure, that sounds like fun.  So we gathered a bunch of eggs and met at the bridge.  We brought spoons to have spoon races and then just had a blast throwing them at the bridge.  Sooooo much fun!

Go Grizzlies!

2011 Grizzlies Hockey Game

When the Youth from our ward went to the BYU basketball game, the Deacons weren’t able to go because the were attending a Pow Wow.  So their leader Brother Kent said that if they would do the Pow Wow, that he would take them to a Hockey game.  So Tyler and Kirk went to watch the Grizzlies.  They had a great time.

Lowes workshop 2003

2003 Lowe's workshop

The boys always had such a fun time going to the Lowe’s workshop with Kirk.  They would go every month to do a new project.  The first time they got an apron and safety goggles.  Each time that they completed their project they would receive a pin to put on their apron and a certificate.

Tyler is thirTEEN!

2011 Tyler bday 13

Tyler choose to go to Boondocks for his 13th birthday this year.  He invited his good friend Tolby to come with him. They  had a blast riding the go carts, playing lazertag and the arcade games.  He’s pretty proud of the fact that he is no longer a “Tweener” , but officiall a “TEEN”.

Photography 101

2011 Photography 101

My sister and I taught a Digital Scrapbooking class for her ward and then afterwards there was a photographer there to teach us how to use our cameras better.  I learned about aperture, shutter speed, white balance, and ISO.  There were a couple of Seniors from their ward that modeled for us.  I still need to practice A LOT to get everything I learned down.  But it was a start.

Christmas 2002

2002 Christmas with Santa

Santa:  “What is it that you want for Christmas”

Tyler:  “I want a pogo stick, if you can find springs”2002 Christmas

I just love the wonder and excitement of Christmas.  Traditions of reading the Nativity, singing your favorite Christmas carols and the anticipation of opening gifts.

2002 Christmas Tyler 1

Can you tell that Tyler is into anything that keeps him moving.  This year he got a mitt and a bating stand, a skateboard, and Santa was able to find springs and bring him a pogo stick.

Scrapbooking Retreat #1

2011 January Digital Scrapbooking Retreat

My sister Lori and I planned and put together a Digital Scrapbooking retreat this past January.  It was so much fun.  We had ladies from, Idaho, Washington, and Colorado plus here in Utah come.  We taught, had workshops on photo printing, journaling and photography and had a blast doing Speed Scraps, Bingo, and other challenges throughout the two days.  We look forward to many more retreats.

 

It was so much fun to see 3 of our Creative Team members.  Amy came from Washington,  Sherri, came from Colorado and Brooke is from here in Utah.  They design with the kits that we design so that we can show people the versatility.
