Stage Coach Days in Arizona

We had the great opportunity to come visit my Dad in Florence, AZ for our spring break!  He bought the Stage Coach that my Uncle owned and gave tourists rides in Jackson Hole, WY for decades.  I even had the opportunity to drive it for a few weeks when my other Uncle, (who drove it for his summer job off of teaching) had some other business to take care of.  I was able to perform in the shoot out in Jackson as well that summer.  Such great times and memories.  I'm glad my Dad was able to keep the memories alive.  The harnesses on this team ("Dime & Dollar") belonged to my Grandfather.

A & B's Wedding

My niece asked me if I would take some pictures of her wedding for her.  It was bright sun that day and  I was worried I wouldn't get any that turned out, but I think we got some good ones.  I can't believe she is married!  She was born the year I graduated high school and she is only six years older than my oldest.  She's the youngest of my nieces and nephews before my children were born.  I don't want to face reality and know that time keeps marching on.  :-)

Favorite Posts

I thought I would share three of the favorite posts of this blog (not counting the desktop calendars).  Thank you all for following my blog, as haphazard as it has been the last part of 2012.

Template #5

Family

Bunting Flags

Template 8

Wow, it sure has been a while since I've offered a free digital template for you ... let alone scrapbook myself.  So that is what I did this wonderful Monday!  I made a 2-page template for you and even scrapbooked using it!

There are spots for lots of photos or you can use them all or less by adding elements or digital patterned paper.  If you want to download you can do so by clicking here or by clicking the preview.

And because I actually got my page done, here's what mine looked like!

Pin It

Family

I really like this quote by Elder David A. Bednar and wanted to share it with you.  I'm going to print it and put it in an 8x10 frame by my family pictures.

If you'd like to do the same, you can click on the image to download it or you can download it here.

You can read the talk by Elder Bednar here.

2011 Fair Entries

Here are the entries I made to the Eastern Idaho State Fair this year.  Some of the photos you have seen before.  I have 11 photos here.  I couldn't decide which of the fireworks photos to enter so I waited until they came in print and then I decided.  I got two ribbons.  One for the picture with the flowers/chairs, and the other for the tinted side view picture of my daughter.

Go in and check out all the beautiful pictures from all the talent in our area.

Week 13 - Ashton, ID

This Weekly Photo post is actually a scrapbook page of our Annual extended family trip to Ashton, ID.  I really liked this layout and the fun page that it was.  I got the Template free from Manda Girl.  I LOVE her templates.

Week 8 ... I think...

Self Timer .... It was really cold too ....

Cool Cars!

Star Valley, WY

My dad said he built this 2x4 cabin.  I'm not sure exactly when and what it was used for because we got interrupted but I'm going to ask him again.  {grin}

Favorite Guy

This guy is my most favorite in the world!!  He can always make me feel better and look at things differently!

This was taken back in January of 2008.  Love my little girl ... (who's not so little anymore)

I have decided to do a 365 day blog.  I've wanted to do one for a long time ... as you can see I posted a photo in July of '09, but then didn't continue.  I also wanted to try out a wordpress blog ... but it isn't as user friendly as blogger in my opinion, so that's why I stopped for a time.  haha

So this is my 365 day blog.  I might use new photos I take but for now I might just post photos I've already taken.  So here you go ... my first post for 2010.

This is my neice.  I took some pictures of my brothers family at Thanksgiving for their Christmas cards.  I thought this one turned out pretty nice.
