train tracks preview

Broken glass and train tracks. This is a place right by where I used to work that I always wanted to do some pictures.. I have to say the pictures turned out so cute, but I don't know if I'd ever take anyone there again.. I dragged my cute neighbors with me.. so check back to see their cute faces!

RagNar

ShaKe YoUr PoM pOm!!

Welcome to my weekend of no sleep, and all stinky runners. This was my first experience with the Ragnar race.



I have to admit, one of my favorite parts was our blow horn. Some people loved it, some people hated us. You could hear us coming for miles. Above you see my sister, Brooke very passionately calling to all ragnar racers. (p.s. this field made my allergies go ridiculous.. my eyes were pretty much swollen shut and had welts around them. I didn't want to take pictures because I had never had anything like that happen, and I was terrified in my delirious state that it might be permanent)


So what is this race you ask? Why is Lindsey dressed so politically incorrect? Because our team was the Wild Wild West, yo! (named after Camille's family's last name.. didn't even occur to me until right before) Ragnar is a relay from Logan to Park City, totaling 180 miles. Our team was made up of two cars of six. In our car we had me, my sister Brooke, my mom, my aunt, Sharon, my brother Colter and his wife Camille. In car one, Camille's family.
My leg was the first for our car, all along the way your car can stop and support you.. get you all the gatorade and e caps you could ask for. Or Rock Star, in my case (which just gave me kidney stones.. I think I passed one along the way.. awesome)

Camille's first leg was crazy uphill followed by one mile of straight downhill. Feels good on the shin splints. Can you see the little indian running up the hill?

Our car was the chief. Everyone decorates their cars, some definitely more than others. There are prizes for the best decorated.

Brooke and I tried to get some sleep before our second legs. It was hard for a couple reasons to sleep. First, it was 9:00. Second, we were on a hill of rocky grass. And I think third, definitely could have made a small impact.. We were right next to the "honey buckets" and every now and then we would get a potent whiff. It was so romantic. I wished Jess was there.

Little bit burnt...


The runs were absolutely gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for better weather. The first day was super hot, our second leg was in the middle of the night, and leg three was overcast but not too rainy.


This is was a lot of the legs looked like when you came to your exchange. Beautiful scenery and lots of SUVs.




I kept trying to get a picture of Sharon, but I couldn't get her face because she wouldn't stop kissing her bicep long enough for me to snap one.


One of my favorite parts of the race.. (maybe because I was done running by this point..)

p.s. I do love my mom, pretty much all of the pictures I got of her I know she wouldn't want me posting on my blog. She was there, though!!

Jenny Pris is gettin' Hitched!

Well.. GOT hitched. Holy cow! I'm to that phase in my life where friend's younger brothers and sisters are getting married. Now I understand how weird that feels. My family loves the Prisbey Family.. and it was fun to see how beautiful Jen looked on her day!

Daddy/Daughter dance..

Sisters!

Jenny and her adorable niece.

Imagine that! The groom made it in one!?

Jen and her mom..

Choc-Attack!

Thanks for letting me share in your big day!

Family Shoot

So I was nervous because I've never tried to get a good picture with pets before, but I felt like I got some really fun pics!

My cute cousin-in-law and her little girl. She has the happiest kids!

And I love this little dance...

More from this fam to come!

Here's just a little snippet from a quick family shoot I did this weekend at Sugarhouse Park. We didn't realize that it was Strut Your Mut, and there were so many dogs! Running and splashing everywhere!






Thanks to Ash for coming to be my "help" and it just ended up she got to hang out with me. Lucky ducky.

My cute niece is so photogenic! I'm lucky to have such cute nieces and nephews.. here are some of my faves..

She did not want to be sitting up here. It's higher than it looks.

Maybe my favorite... such a pretty face.

It's amazing how photographing your own kids can be so stressful, but I learn so much about how I really want my pictures to look. These pictures didn't turn out how I wanted.. so I know I still have so much to learn.. but I thought that I'd post some of them anyway.

I took these for Grandmas for Mothers' Day, and this is just about the time when Bauer became a mama's boy. He was fussy and just wanted to be held.. Benny gave him a sweet little kiss.

His poor little fat feet don't fit in shoes. :(

Sweet smiles...



So.. with this HTML can you see the picture or is some still being cut off? Let me know! Thanks..

p.s.. what am I going to do without Gossip Girl and all their awesome music? (That's where I got this song playing now that i LOVE)

Harts con't..

So I loved how these turned out both in color and in b&w.. just a little more to see of the Hart kiddos

can you see the pics?

So I just got a comment saying the pictures were not completely visible on her computer.. They are on mine, but I have a big screen.. So tell me, are the pictures being cut off for you?

I would love comments..

Thanks!

Welcoming the newest addition to one of my favorite families, the feinauers.. teensy tiny Sarah Jane

They're only this small for a split second, I swear! And if they're mine, they're never ever this small..

Welcome to the family, Sarah Jane!

I love a good cryin' pic..

She was so content and we lucked out, because in between little cat naps she was ready to open her eyes for us.


Welcome to a crazy world!

Kay.. I know. M.I.A. But at least that means I've got plenty to post! I've been in an anti-blog funk, and a Ticket To Ride online addiction. That's right. I play Ticket to Ride online, and I have an addiction. So that's how I've been spending the time I should be posting pictures..

This little group of kiddos live in my neigborhood, and wanted to surprise their mom with some pics... awww


You can't skip the waterfall when you go to Garden Park Ward. Ya just can't.



We got tons of great pics, and I'll definately be posting some of their singles. I hope that their cute mom had a great mother's day!
