Summer Reading

May 29th, 2010

Thanks to my fabulous sister in law I have a great pile of books to drool over this summer.  Hopefully the sunshine will come out and act like summer so I can kick back in the lawn chair and read!

We will miss you Grandad!

May 12th, 2010

The world lost a kind and gentle man today.  I was lucky enough to marry into his family.  He lived so far away that I didn’t get the chance to hang out with him a lot, but the times I did get too were wonderful.  Great-Grandad you are so loved and will be missed!

Soccer, soccer, soccer

May 1st, 2010

It’s that time of year again and we are in full-swing soccer season with both girls.  Lakes is rocking the house this year.  She’s the most aggressive that she’s ever been & she is finally learning how to juggle the ball, which is cool to watch.

We’re sure proud of our girl!!!

Launching model rockets

October 20th, 2009

A couple weeks ago we decided to go launch some model rockets.  I only attempted a handful of pictures….and only got ONE with the rocket actually in the frame.  They take off soooo quick.

I was mostly snapping pictures of these two cute babies…

Isn’t she sweet?  She reminds me of my Pepper dog who was also an alaskan malamute.  This is Kita our new cousin, haha.  My brother in laws family just got her.  I imagine this is what it is like to have grandchildren…..I can play with her and gush her but I get to leave her there when I’m done.  HAHA!

These two adore each other!

Summer is almost over, only a week and a half left until school starts.  Hopefully they’ll be filled with lots of fun!  Today we are off to check out some land DH bought in Nevada, he has this weird desire to live off grid! ;)  Check out his blog here, http://www.montellooffgrid.blogspot.com/

A whole lot of catching up to do…..

July 22nd, 2009

Okay so this will be a big picture post because I’ve pretty much let this blog go and I feel bad about that!  So here’s a lot of what we’ve been up to this summer….

Back in June my sister in law brought her family from Ohio to visit.  We stayed at my other sister in law’s house and had lots of fun…..hot tubbing, slip n slide, playing with cousins, bowling, etc, etc, etc.

Our family from Ohio!

Then of course we had a birthday (which I did post about already) and then it was the 4th of July so we went over to the cousins new house in town lit some fireworks!

Tried a little video lighting here…

Then my brother came into town with his kids for 2 weeks and we played some more.

Camping…

We went to Bear Lake

My younger brother was in a 4-wheeler accident the end of June and he broke his femur.  He still can’t walk but he did make it to the beach with us.

This is my skinny little Grandma who has no meat on her bones, freezing at the beach.  It was actually a really chilly beach day though, in the 70’s and a strong breeze.

My red neck brother! ;)

My Mom!

In the middle of having family here my oldest had a 4 day soccer tourney.  Her team had to play girls a year older because not enough teams their age signed up and they ended up taking 2nd place, it was pretty sweet and we are very proud of them!

We headed to a wheat field to attempt family pics!

My Man and I

Oh and I can’t leave out the red neck waterslide!  We got to go to this for a soccer party and it was pretty sweet.  Some farmer made this HUGE slide in his field, it was a total blast and pretty intense!

That’s all the time I have for now…..I hope to do better in the future.  This will likely be more of a family blog for now.  You can check out my portrait blog at www.jbroadhurstphotography.com/blog
