Photography

I was once told that the best photographers are really just the best editors.

While there may be some truth to the statement, it is not to detract from the art of photography. It is the magic of capturing a specific moment, an odd angle or a pop of contrasting color and light. It is the art of finding beauty in the ordinary and everyday. It is the decision to make those things permanent and special by the click of a button, the flash of a bulb (and of course in our case, a little bit of luck, some digital enhancing, and a bit of good editing;)

Our Weekend...

Our weekend was awesome!! to start off... we posted our furniture on KSL and that went really well, i mean really well... the first thing we posted was our couch, which I personally didn't want to sell YET... but Kyle thought it wouldn't sell that fast... an hour after i posted it, a guy came to pick it up :( now i only have a really crappy couch to sit on... but over all i'm happy our things are selling and we don't have to worry about it anymore.
Saturday night we had a game/dinner activity @ our Branch... It was so much fun... they had sooo much food, I couldn't believe it... but what else can we expect from a spanish branch... we had clowns and dancing... It was Morrison's first time to see clowns and he did really good, he didn't even get scared :) he just stared at them... a studying stare!


... and I won these mugs... aren't they cool?!

Spooky Halloween!!

We started our Holloween journey @ Cornbelly's Pumpkin Patch and corn Maze... We had a blast but were blasted by the freezing cold wind... I had never gone to a corn maze before nor a pumpkin patch... It was great to be able to experience it with my beautiful family! We only got lost in the maze a few times ;)


After freezing our buttuties off we headed home to carve our pumpkin...


This is our great pumpkin... "The Robo Lantern" Designed and brought to life by Kyle and I... and PLAYED with by Morrison :) he was crying because he thought it was a ball and it wouldn't bounce...

And our halloween ended with a couple parties where we dressed up, played the Wii, sang karaoke, ate lots of candy and enjoyed the company of our friends...
