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.

New Blog

I had to create a blog for my custom images class. Go check out some of the shots that I have been able to capture! There is also some photos from heathers engagement shoot!

Ghost Town- Bannack, Montana

I have been meaning to post some photos from Bannack. For my Custom Images class we went a preserved Ghost town. I had a blast! Dennis and Audrey were able to go along as well which really made the day. We spent literally all day there. Poor Dennis, Audrey was a little model for everyone which was really cute. Anyways, I will post more photos hopefully tomorrow. I have been having fun editing them.
This shot was taken into a program call HDR. What it does is you take 3 of the exact same shots however you blow one out, a normal shot and a dark shot and it combines the best of all three. I will post more on this as well later. It is amazing the shots that have been created. So fun. I think I have really found what I love to do!

Mother's Day Weekend

For Mother's day we went to Mesa Falls and had a picnic dinner.  I was trying to figure out something to do. I wanted to do something fun and memorable. I had a great day. Church was a little long. Dennis and I accepted the calling of Nursery teachers and Mothers day was our first day which was challenging. I know we will grow to love the calling. Anyways, the falls were really neat. I think it was the closest I have ever gotten to the top of a water fall. see photos below. On the way back to the car we ran into some hikers who told us about some moose. So we drove to the pinic area and sure enough their was some moose. We had Dennis's binoculars so we put the camera up to the binoculars and we were able to get a closer shot of the moose. Thanks Dennis for a fun day! I am so grateful I get to be a mom. Sometimes it is challenging trying to balance everything. Although when Audrey laughs or says something funny it really can lighten the mood. 

FHE

A few weeks ago we went with our friends bowling for FHE. (FHE is Family home evening where we get together one night a week and devote it to our families!) It was so much fun! It was Audrey's first time and she had a blast. it was so cute watching Audrey and James. They could not bowl unless they pushed the ball together. After bowling we played in the game room and ended the night at DQ for some much needed ice cream (or fries :) ) 

Do we really look alike???

People always say, "Oh she looks just like you, or just like her dad." However, a few weeks ago I had to take some photos for a school project and Audrey just had to be in them. I was glancing through photos tonight realizing how much we really do look alike. What do you think?
