St. George Part 3- More Photos!

So these are the remaining that I dare convert over. We had so much fun. I think we will start taking regular trips to St. George in the winter. Why stay up here and be miserable in this snow???

St. George Part 2

I ran out of time tonight, so I only had a few minutes to post this family picture... More to come soon....

St. George Weekend

We went to St. George this weekend with Traci's sister and her husband. We had so much fun, it was really hard coming back! The weather was phenomenal and we couldn't get enough of it! We left on Saturday morning and stayed Saturday night and Sunday night. TJ and I went golfing on Saturday afternoon and again on Monday morning. I think I am a fan of golfing! It was a lot of fun. Anyway, I will include more photos, once I figure out how to convert more of them from my RAW format. I think I understand the benifit of RAW now, with this photo here being the guinea pig. It is pretty cool!

Our Neighborhood (Playing with RAW)

So I started to play with RAW a little. This photo is mostly correct... well... the orange is a little "too" orange on the left side of the photo, but its close enough. I don't totally understand how to edit RAW yet, but hopefully I will figure it out. A friend of mine suggest I do the complete switch over and stop using JPEG all together, but I guess I am still not getting it.

Merry Christmas!

These last couple of weeks have been really busy. I know, its just how Christmas is, but for some reason, it seems a lot busier this year than in years past. Anywho, I wanted to just tell everyone Merry Christmas, and that I will catch up on everything this coming weekend.
On a quick note, I went to the Las Vegas Bowl this last weekend. My friend "Jeff Smith" invited me, it was a ton of fun. I have never- let me repeat- never, been to Las Vegas. So it was really cool to see the strip, even though we didn't have time to stop and walk around. It was a fast 1 day trip: down on Saturday, back on Sunday... so not a whole lot of time. Anyway, hope everyone's Christmas is great- and I will catch up with photos and stories sometime later this week...(I hope!)

Some Favorites

Been a few weeks...

A lot of things have happened, preventing me from updating our blog. I really don't like to write a whole lot; I am more of a visual person. I prefer photos over reading- so here is a quick recap of what we have been doing: I took Thanksgiving week off. Yeah for me! At the same time, we found out Zac had to go in AGAIN to have tubes put in his ears. At the same time as that, the doctor took out his adenoids. That was on Tuesday. We were blessed to have a quick recovery, and by Wednesday he was running and playing like nothing ever happened. Thursday was Thanksgiving, and my brined Turkey turned out great. Thursday night, Traci's grandpa passed, and we are preparing for the funeral. Amongst all of this, we managed to go to American Fork Canyon for an hour or so and test out our camera. So here are a few photos or so of our week... give or take a few days...

Year Book Yourself

My friend Nathalie did this and I thought it was totally funny. So I had to try it out for myself. I am a bit embarrased to say that I graduated in 1992, because it really isn't a great look! Then again, what year is??? So I had to try out a few different decades.. Have a good laugh on me!

Blue Eyes

We bought our camera today! A DSLR Sony A200. We love it- it is so nice! Now we just need to learn how to use it with all its features! Anyway, we were testing it out, and taking pictures of everything we could see...the floor, our feet, the couch, each other... The boys ended up being the focus since they kept saying "pick me! pick me! I want to be in the photo!". But anyways, it looks like this camera does a better representation of color(and I think the 10 megapixels help!). So here are a few pictures of our boys eyes. We love how blue they all are. We feel very blessed to have healthy children. The photos turned out great, but you really need to click on them to enlarge them. Then you can really see their beautiful eyes in action.

Goodby leaves

Its a sad day when the leaves fall. I guess its just that time!
