THE HOLY MOTHER OF ALL BLOG POSTS!!!!!

Apparently, this here blog hasn't been updated in quite a while, and all two of you that read it have let me know.

So heregoes!

Me and Manny went to Pride with James in SLC. I was really glad I went, even though seeing dudes hold hands makes me bawl.  

It was pretty amazing to see such a great turnout, and makes me realize just how many people there are in Utah that feel the same way we do.

Rock on, gays.

 We went camping by Bear Lake with a bunch of Manny's cousins. 

 This trip included several epic 4-wheeler rides = a whole bunch of dirty, dirty people.

Manny and I kayaked to our favorite spot in the back of Causey reservoir and camped.  

 It definitely takes some logistical genius to pack all your stuff in little boats, but it is SO worth it.

 It's so quiet and gorgeous, we did not do nearly enough kayaking this summer :(

 One of the best parts about camping?  Taking books and not having anything else to do but read them :)

The annual 4th of July BBQuah was bigger and better than ever! 
We had about 30 awesome guests come celebrate with us :)

Sister had a birthday :)  Great party with great company.....

 ...that somehow ended with the beer pong game of all beer pong games.  Apparently the lampshade on the head is a signature trick shot that
was invented this night.

  Brayden started playing pad football this year.
Isn't he the cutest little bobblehead you've ever seen?!!!

Oh, and Manny is one of the coaches on his team.
It's been pretty fun watching both of them out there on the field :)
I even bought TWO Bees t-shirts. I never ever EVER thought that would happen.

Alex has also been playing JV Tennis for Bear River,
but I don't have any pictures of her :/



Ok, so that wasn't really as long as I thought it was going to be.
I've probably left out a whole lot, but if I don't have pictures of it happening,
I tend to forget about it!
I'm going to promise to TRY to do better at updating:)

This summer has been absolutely crazy. hectic. madness.
So what does a logical person do when they are so busy all the time?
They start a business.
Yeah.

I'm kicking my hobby up a notch and I'm pretty damn excited about it.
By excited, I mean that I've been nauseous and anxious and doubtful for two months prior to launching my site. I'm an overanalyzer, but after finally jumping in (Ok, it was really more of a slow tentative lurk from the kiddie pool....) I feel pretty good about it.

I've got creativity pouring out of my nugget, and sticky notes all over with ideas for shoots and things I'd like to do. Tell your friends!

So here she is, friends. One of the reasons I've been MIA lately.
I've been putting crazy amounts of energy into getting this going  :)
