Brooke took some beautiful shots of us all in the boats on the way to and from the rope swing at Sheep Creek, and some more awesome shots while we were there.

Here are Brooke's great action shots of the guys on the rope swing at Sheep Creek Canyon at Flaming Gorge. I posted a shot of each different guy in progressive shots to tell the story...

Judd starts the climb

Brad scales the rocks

They've reached the jumpin' off place

Brad makes a powerful launch

Tad starts the downswing.

Judd swings wide

Alan lets go for the money shot of the day, in my opinion -

and among these, that's saying something!

Katie loves to fly in the sky.

Crawdad fishin' on the rocks - nobody wants to miss out on that!

The kids wind down around the fire as the sun sets.

Katie was blessed in church this last Sunday, her daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. Thanks to all who came. She looked so pretty in her little dress, I just had to get her and the boys into the studio for a sitting. Here's what we came home with...

Hey! A couple recent items of note -

First, Katie is smiling all the time now, so cute!




Then there's this..

Ethan asked me if he could play with Play-Doh and I groaned an "Oh alright". Usually, he just wants to play with the containers, stacking them and such. This time, he actually wanted to get the stuff out. He was occupied for a while, then said, "I made Lightning McQueen! Come see Lightning McQueen's teeth!"

It took me a secoond to respond and walk across the kitchen and when I did, I couldn't believe the cuteness!

This is what he'd made....

It's a lumpy little car, but he's only three! It's such good 3-D representation!
