Hovely-Long Wedding


Busy Photo Shoot Weekend!!!!  We drove down to Emmett thursday night so we could attend Craig's older brother's wedding on friday. I photographed that one (will post pictures later...currently on craig's laptop which he has at school...
I also photographed another wedding on Saturday.  After a tearful morning Breanne Hovely and James Long II were married in not so clear weather Saturday afternoon. (OUTSIDE WEDDING..hense the tears.)  We were able to get some pretty nice pictures during the breaks in showers and ended up being able to move the reception under cover and had a great reception at a nice Golf Club.  It will be a wedding neither them nor their guest will ever forget.  

While I was down their I also did some commercial work and photographed some of my sister-in-law's hairbows and bracelets for her website.  My camera got a lot of hours in this weekend.

TWILIGHT vs. SEX AND THE CITY

So I was in the kitchen just now cleaning up thinking about Twilight....no big surprise since that seems to be the only think on my mind lately...everything reminds me of it in way or another...every song on the radio seems to be between a torn person and two lovers.  anyway!!!! So I got a kick out of the fact that my two favorite things...once the twilight movie comes out would be TWILIGHT the movie and SEX AND THE CITY the movie.....how polar opposite could two favorite movies be. ???  (I know I am sinner for watch sex and the city) but I can't help it.  Im addicted...I justify it by saying I didn't start watching it till it was on TBS and they edit out most of the "bad" stuff.  

anyway the reason for the post......I was laughing because of the two differences in the movies that I began to see their similarities.  Carrie is in love with "mr. Big" who is like "edward" and he doesn't seem to want to commit with her and brakes her heart all the time.  So she is dating others but still has him in her heart....along comes Aiden.  or "Jacob".  She falls for him and he is so sweet and perfect to her.  But of course can't commit to him fully because of "HER EDWARD" ....seriously are all first REAL loves always stuck in your head for comparison....and muddy the waters for any good relationship afterwards.  Good think I came to my senses and agreed to marry "my jacob" (CRAIG) or I would have been miserable!!!!!!!  

  *****I love you craig and you are my dearest best friend....how lucky can you get to marry your best friend.  (NOT TO anyone...if you have a best best friend who is of the opposite sex and can at all be attracted to that person...go for it. )  

but sorry Aiden, carrie did end up with Mr. BIG in the end. and of course anyone who read the book knows what happened with BELLA.

I am and always will be on TEAM JACOB.

FIRE!!!

Well craig and I experienced our first home disaster tonight. 

SORRY!!!! to those within a 50 mile radius of our apartment, because you probably heard the fire alarms that wouldn't stop for like 30 minutes.  There was so so much smoke.  

Note to self.....don't let craig cook!!!!!  I came home from my Zumba class to find craig heating up some hamburger for taco's.  the amount I made for him wasn't sufficient and he wanted more...I was fine with that but I guess he forgot he was heating up oil for the shells, as he was sitting on the couch on his computer, when I look over to the kitchen and see flames up to the ceiling.... I was like CRAIG!!!!!! he ran to get the extinguisher and put it out.  the alarms sounded after we had it out (thanks for the heads up :(  but the extinguisher's white sand was everywhere!!!!! smoke was everywhere!!!!! and our fire alarm didn't have batteries and we couldn't unplug to stop the load noise.  Soren was asleep in the living room and woke up freaked! It took forever to get the smoke to go away to see the damage!!! not to bad.  the black washed ride off the cupboards and walls.  the hood from the range was pretty messed up, black but still fine...we need to replace the little plastic fan because thats melted...but all in all you would have never known their was a huge fire.  It took forever to clean up all the smoke and I went through like 5 magic erasers and 50 towels.  once it touched the black wall it would just start smearing it all over and I had to grab a new one.   Im sure our managers will see a bunch more damage than really is necessary but we didn't kill anyone and the kitchen is still in use and I think for our first disaster it went pretty well :) for a disaster!

COUNTY FAIR!!!









So its the Moscow annual county fair and I pretty much saw my whole ward/neighborhood there so they must have been hard up for something to do on a friday night as well.  So we decided to roam around smelling cow poop and have a grand time!!!! The kids had a blast on the rides, and getting to see all the animals.    I was surprised that Kaydence knew the difference between a chick and a duckling!!!
 

Kaydence is crack up!!!!

Kaydence is such a crack up.  Whenever this Sit and be Fit show comes on that I think is for old women who can't really get up and exercise comes on she gets so excited...MOM!!!! its the exercise show.  She did the same thing a year ago and we haven't add a satellite since then so haven't had this show but its pretty funny that she enjoys watching and doing this and even remembered it from last year.  She has a very serious face and does every move very perfectly.

READ TWILIGHT SAGA *check*

Last night I finished the remaining 30 pages I had left of the fourth book in the Twilight sage.  I don't know why some people didn't like it but I sure did.  I loved all 4 books, some say the second book was their least favorite but it was one of my favorites due to the fact that I got to remember and see my husband and my life in the book.  He was "my jacob" who brought me back to life and I thank him for that.  anyway!!!!! love love love this series and the lives of these characters and am really jealous of bella!!!  AND can't wait for the movie in december.

I read the first book in book club last year (my book choose actually) and didn't get around to reading the last 3 till this month.  Yes I read all 3 remaining books in a 3-4 week period.  Tell me how I managed that raising two kids, I can't remember its all a blur and my eyes are strained and I have a headache from reading but I did it, and couldn't get enough. 

ANYONE who hasn't read these books I highly recommend them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOREN!!!




So my son turned 3!!!  and we got him a big boy bike and safety gear.  We opted for the bigger bike since he would have probably outgrown a smaller one in 2 days.  He has a little hard time getting off and on by himself but Im sure he would have needed help at first with a smaller one.  He just loves it and Kaydence is really jealous of him.

Sneaky Kaydence

So we put the kids to bed and craig went back to school to study and I finished up a blanket I was sewing and sat down and watched some TV.  When craig came back home I got up to find that kaydence wasn't actually in bed at all, She had snuck out and was apparently watching tv without me knowing.  But as you can see, she couldn't last very long and fell asleep.  This is how I found her.  She even brought olly out (stuffed pig)


NEW LENS/KIDS PLAY














So I got a lens for my camera yesterday and tested it out while the kids played outside.  They're were some neighbor kids Damon and Micheal who played with them.  Damon is also a boy in Kaydence's preschool Class so she was quite annoyed when Soren started calling them his friends.
My new lens is a nikon 50 mm which will allow a smaller aperture (1.8) which will allow for a more shallow depth of field which means more blurry backgrounds!!!!

TV

So we have been without TV for like 3 weeks and for the most part its been alright due to getting video's and kid cartoons from the library but I don't think I could have lasted much longer.  I'm such a wuse!  Way to addicted to TV.  Hopefully I can still keep the house clean!  I was doing great without any TV, but I have some projects and the 3rd and 4th twilight books to read and usually when I have something to do the house takes a back seat!!!!

Also my little baby soren turns 3 on friday and its making me sad to see him so grown up, and Craig doesn't seem to think we need another any time soon.
