Addicted to say the least!

So I recently got Adobe Photo shop and many other programs for school/work and I really have been addicted ever since. I look at a picture and sometimes a great idea pops into my head. Here is an example. I love the black and white photos with color. It is a good thing this is what my major is so I can make good money one day while it will still feel like playing!

While I love the before on this shot I love the edits. Let me know what you think Mel.

What do you do when you have no school..... go to the Lake!

It was a perfect day to head to the Lake. Audrey was able to go with almost all of her friends. The kids built sand castles, buried each other in the sand, played in the water, had a picnic lunch, and had some great laughs. It was so nice to just relax with my friends and Audrey hang out with her friends. It really was a perfect day.

Yellowstone

We had the opportunity to go to Yellowstone with Heather and Brian on the 18th of July (I know I know a little late). Anyways we were there from 8am to 8pm. It was a busy day full of fishing, sightseeing, and many good laughs. It was a good day.

4TH OF JULY

I always love the 4th of July and this year was no exception. We went down to Idaho Falls and watched the Fireworks. It was so much fun we meet up with the Coopers and the Lindstroms.

This was the first year Audrey did Pop Its and sparklers which she enjoyed. Audrey really liked the fireworks this year. James and Audrey kept running around it was so cute. I am so grateful to have such great friends and family!

Final Print

I thought it would be nice if you got to see the final version. I was happy with the way the photo turned out!

What do you think???

So for my photography class we have to do a poster size picture. I have always wanted a picture of the temple. So I thought this was the perfect opportunity. What do you think honestly. I am still editing and would love some feedback.

Life at the moment

My life right now is crazy! Seriously. This is a normal week. School full time, working 15 hours a week, making time for Audrey, and cleaning the house (Though I have to say Dennis does almost all the laundry, and a ton of housework! thanks babe). I can't wait for this semester to be done. One more month and we are finished with the semester. My mom took Audrey for me for an entire week. I think all the stress was starting to catch up with me. I was starting to feel like a bad mom because I am either at school or work everyday which makes it hard on Audrey and myself honestly. It was a break Dennis and I both desperately needed. I think it is safe to say Audrey needed it too.

I was able to get away for the weekend at my mom's and get recharged. I was also able to spend some one on one time with Audrey. Thank you mom I Know you lost some sanity having a three year old with a big attitude! We really owe you one.

I was able to get some fun shots while I was done there. Just thought I would share some random pictures.
