Photo Shoot


On our first day we arrived in Utah we drove straight from the airport to my oldest friend in the world's house. Amy was leaving the very next morning for a two week vacation on the east coast and this was our only chance to visit. It was MacGregor's birthday so we ate pizza and salad and Aunt Brinn had made a beautiful birthday cake.

The boys can't wait to see Alex on every visit to Utah. Once Amy's kids asked her if we were their cousins. She told them it was pretty close. We agree - we are nearer to cousins than any non-related people could be. The boys don't even need any warm up time - they see each other after two years and they are off and running and always sad to say goodbye.


Amy is an outstanding photographer. She is slowing building up her business and portfolio. We had been traveling all day and didn't exactly look our best (my hair) but she squeezed in a short impromptu photo shoot in her back yard. You can see some of that shoot here.

Thanks Amy. We wouldn't have missed those 2 hours for the world. And I think the pictures came out great!

Brittney...I love you. I am so glad you guys were able to come by the night before we left. It was such a treat to see your family and Brinn's. You are so good at keeping your friends close. My kids were thrilled to see their "cousins"...and I was thrilled to see my 7th sister!
