Busy.. Busy... Busy

Where did the summer go? Can anyone go find it for me and bring it back? I cannot believe how fast it is going.
I have been super busy doing newborn and family photoshoots. Check out my site to see lots of new pictures.It has been a blast. Plus hair, plus digital scrapbook designing, playing with kids, painting my basement, Loving my little guy, taking weekday trips( since Scott works weekends). , Eating ( way too much I might add).
We had fun on the 24th at our friends the Barney's. Mapleton fireworks ROCK! Thanks guys!
Crew crawls everwhere and I swear is the cutest thing in the whole world. He is so smiley!
The girls have enjoyed having their very first summer off from dance since they were 3... But are ready to go back. Oh and they are obsessed with Michael Jackson now! They have too watch the thriller, bad and billie Jean videos at least once a week. Friends have been here they have been there.
It really feels like summer...except.... I missed my boat this year. We didn't take it out once!
Sorry I havn't had a lot of time to comment on everyones blog but believe me I look when i can!

I needed some bath pictures of crew for his 9 month pictures since I have one of the girls in their bathroom. There are so many cute ones you just have to go to my website www.danicphotography.com click on client proofs and view crews and the girls.
The girls decided they want to re-do their bathroom with fun bath pics of them too. i thought it was a darling idea. Check theirs out on the site too because they are hilarious! Here are just a couple of pics. COPYRIGHTED IMAGES!

Vegas or Bust

I would be here all day posting all the pictures to our recent trip to Mesquite and Vegas. The girls both got digital cameras as an early b-day present and took a ton of pictures. No one will believe that I didn't even take one picture with my camera It stayed in the bag the whole trip. We had fun going to the shark reaf aquarium in vegas at mandalay bay, Visiting circus circus among the other hotels.
It was so hot! I do not know how people even stand it.
We also saw the new Harry Potter movie while we were there. Scott and I had to go back later that night to watch it again because Crew was fussy during ther movie.
We went bowling at the Virgin River Hotel, that was fun. it was a great little getaway. thanks Dad for treating us to eat. And Thank you Chad for the breakfast buffet. it was yummy.

The girls and all of us Loved freemont street! that is what vegas is all about baby! here are a very few of our pictures from the trip.

4th of July and remembering Michael jackson

We spent the fourth at my parents this year. Since Scott works night now I did not want to hassle with the staium crowds by myself. i am not a patient driver so we went to my moms for a relaxing day. And after hearing how everyone was so dissapointed in the fireworks show at the Stadium this year ( Scott said it wasn't worth it) I am glad we did not go. We had a fun BBQ , games, hot tub and then a great fireworks show.
It was Crews first fireworks. he clapped and loved it for about 15 min. till he fell asleep.

Crew and Uncle Chad

Crew watching the Fireworks.

The jets even flew right above my parents house. I never saw them that close even at the stadium. It was very cool. I wish I could have gotten a better picture but I was not expecting it and grabbed it and shot.



My brother Chad bought a ton of fireworks fo reveryone to watch. Thank you Chad!

Crew all set up for the show above.

The kids loved Sparklers

We played fun games

REMEMBERING MICHAEL

I watched the Michael Jackson funeral yesterday and was still in shock of his death. I remember rushing home from school as a young girl because they were going to play the long version of thriler that day and I did bot want to miss it. I remember dressing up in a sparkly white glove and red jacket because I loved him so much! I had posters in my room.

After watching the funeral I realized how many wonderful things he did for everyone. it is shame he had to have so many plastic surgeries because I remember the time I thought he was IT!
I know he did not do the things the world accused him of. Who could writet We are the world and make the world a better place and do such things. So to Michael I say goodbye and thank you for the wonderful memories.

What is wrong with this world?

o.k So my daughters sat outside today in the hot sun for an hour and a half doing a punch & popcorn sale to try and earn money for an upcoming trip. Not ONE car stopped. What is wrong with people today. i stop for every little kid out there selling lemonade or whatever it is they are selling. how can we teach our future leaders the importance of hard work and earning their own money if we do not help them.
I was furious. i gave them each a dollar and told them I was sorry. I watched an Oprah a few years back and she said the same thing. She stops every time. it only takes a minute out of your day to make a little child smile. Come on people it is only a quarter. Really.
