Check this out! :)

If you'd like to see more of this beautiful family, check out my photo blog! Do you recognize them? I took their pictures last year too. I've also got a couple more sessions coming up so stay tuned! Thanks!

 One of my favorites from the session!

 And just because I love it, a picture of the Gila Valley Temple I took yesterday. I'm getting this one printed BIG to hang on my wall. Let me know if you'd like a print too!

Goodbye Summer

Summertime, you will be missed. But honestly, you won't be missed all that much, because I'm really looking forward to some cooler weather! Here are some pictures from this last month of summer.

In the beginning of September me and the boys went with my parents and their friends to Lake Powell. It was a lot of fun! Grady made me so nervous though. I never let him take off that life jacket! Luke loved everything. My favorite part was the feeling of total freedom I got when I rode the jetski by myself. As a mom of little kids, I very rarely get that feeling of freedom!

Grady suprised me and was actually a little scared riding on the jet ski, boat, and being pulled on the tube.
That is Grady sitting on my mom's lap in the middle of the tube. He sat very still.
After we went to Lake Powell, the boys and I spent a whole week at my parent's house while Ty had job training down in the Valley. While we were at Lake Powell my parent's llama, Dolly, had a baby llama. Luke named the baby llama Lisa. I have no idea where he got that name from, but I think "Lisa the Llama" has a nice ring to it. My parents now have 5 llamas. This is baby Lisa with her mother at only 48 hours old.

While at my parent's house and Lake Powell I read the entire Hunger Games series in only 8 days. This series is even better than Twilight! If you haven't read it, I highly reccomend it! Even my brother and brother-in-law enjoyed the books.

My mom and I went and took the boys out a lot while I was in Lakeside. We took them bowling, mini golfing, to the park, to visit my parent's horses, and I even got to take Luke on a go-cart ride.

I wanted to close with this one shot of my boys actually playing nicely together in the backyard. This happens so rarely I just had to take a picture! (Luke honestly was happy!)
