Rocky Mountain High

Snowbasin snowshoeing

I told Bry that I wanted to do something we'd never done before and mentioned snow shoeing.  He made it happen.  And I loved it!  It felt great to get outside and do something.  Plus, I got to hang out with this handsome guy.  (2 pictures for today!)

Fly Fishing - Booyah!

"Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters."   -Norman Maclean (A River Runs Through It)

My hubster loves that movie/book.  He pretty much can quote any line from that movie/book. 

This summer I've been lucky enough to go fishing with him a couple of times.  I took these shots of him last week.  I was having an "off" day, so I grabbed the camera and got some pretty awesome shots of him!

Spring has sprung

Well, at least the flowers have...

I've had the awesome opportunity to tag along with a great photographer friend lately. (THANK YOU...THANK YOU Scott!!! See his amazing talent here). Last Tuesday, I was able to go to Salt Lake with him for a bridal shoot. During some "down time" I snapped a few pictures of the flowers at the Salt Lake Temple and another great spot we shot at.

Isn't this place incredible?!

See more spring shots here.

Moab Jeep Safari - 2010 edition

Every year, my hubster's family goes to Moab, UT for the Easter Jeep Safari. They've been doing this since my Mother-in-law was a little girl. It's been a fun tradition to carry on with them.

We started out the trip by watching all the "crazies" go up Potato Salad.... Here's just a portion of the Jeeps...it's insane, but awesome!

Love this Jeep!!

Saturday was the "Jeep Parade". They close the main road for a while and everyone going on trails lines up. It's pretty dang cool. Here's my brother-in-law Dano's truck. Someone drove by us when we got on the trail and told Dano his truck was "Bad A**" - so there you have it...

This beauty used to be my Father-in-law's blue Bronco. Bry's uncle's friend (stay with me..), Bob, bought it and turned it into this sweet ride.

Brother & Sister-in-law (Colten & Carli)
I just couldn't get enough of the views....

And then I 'had' to get Rod & Stef to pose for a few. Rod might kill me for putting the last one on, but I think it's HOT! These two have a great relationship and I think these pics show it ;)

Hope everyone enjoyed their Easter! Thanks for lookin'!

West Yellowstone

We enjoyed a very much needed vacation to West Yellowstone this past weekend. Our great friends Mandee and Clint invited us up there. We stayed at Mandee's parents cabin - they were so generous to feed us and let us stay there. It was awesome! You can read more about our trip here. My hubby took the above pic - pretty dang good!!!
My beautiful girl - she makes me smile.

My favorite season...

We went up to Albion Basin this weekend to have my sister-in-law take some family pics of us... The colors were AMAZING to say the least. I was so excited going up there - I just wish we would've had more time to stay (hungry, tired kids don't mix with an anxious camera happy mom...) Enjoy the pics.

(a little too much sun flare...but I still love it.)

Jackson Hole

I just got back from a week in Jackson - my favorite place. There's something about the Tetons that captivates me. I can't get enough of them (just ask Bry - I think I took over 100 pics of just the Tetons!!). My next favorite thing is the old barn on Mormon Row. (Is it weird to be in LOVE with an old barn?!) I had to take advantage of it and get some shots of my kiddos. Bryn is my little poser/model. She LOVES the camera. And Rett is.....well - all boy! I love how they turned out! I just wish I would've had more time. Our nephew Jace and my mother-in-law were with us, so I got some shots of them too.

I can't believe she' s mine - isn't she gorgeous?!
I love this one...HA HA - this shows all of their personalities to a "T"!

Bry's mom and her grandkids...


Hope everyone enjoyed their 4th!

Moab - Jeep Safari

We went to Moab over the weekend to watch all the jeepers. We used to do the Jeep Safari when we were first married - BL had a sweet jeep. This was our first time back in 6 years... I was excited to take pics of something other than grey & white!

I LOVE taking photographs. I'm so blessed to have a man who supports me and is patient while waiting in the car with 2 sleeping kids while I stand outside for 1/2 hour taking a gazillion photos of an old fence and stops every 50 feet because something catches my eye that I HAVE to photograph!!......and who gives me "constructive critisism" so that I can become a better photographer. You rock my world!!

(She's getting so big....)

I LOVED this old fence...something about the hard work that went in to putting it there...

Rett got his own jeep - kept him entertained 99.9% of the time....
