My Sister

This post is waaaaay over due. Back in August my good friend Kari offered to do a fun photo shoot with me and my sister "Boots". My sister LOVES posing for pictures and modeling, so she was all for this idea. We had such a blast and Kari did such a great job! I believe she has her own photography business and if anyone is interested in her services let me know and I can get you her info!


I am definitely not as cute as my little sis Boots- but I love these pictures anyway and I am glad my sister and I can be best friends. We have such a good time together and we are always laughing.


Here she is- what a skinny, cute, model!


Some more of us trying to be serious, but I can never pull it off as well as she can. I was constantly laughing and Kari was desperately trying to snap shots in between all the giggling. Good work Kari- you are a trooper!
This part of the evening was pretty neat! Boots was lovin the silhouette look- and she got tons of cute pictures but I picked the best one of her and the best one of both of us.

Our last shots of the night were Boots' idea. She got me this cute matching t-shirt and she wanted to do some fun angled photos. Pretty cute.


And the woman of the hour--- KARI! Isn't she adorable? We met about a year ago in Biology class at the University of Utah (I love this school by the way) and I am so happy we are friends. She is so cute and talented and smart. We have a great time together (even though I haven't seen her in a while :( Sad stuff) and I just adore her! Thanks for the great photo shoot Kari!

Hey hey hey!

I am so lame lately and don't have much to report. With this semester slowly coming to an end, that is all that I have time for. I can't wait until December, maybe I'll have a life again :)



At the beginning of October we decided to take one last trip to Disneyland before our season passes expired (Sad Day!). And we were so excited when our close friends Eric and Colleen said they would come too. We love these guys and they are so fun and cute. We had only a couple days planned for California and they were really busy days! We loved all the Halloween decorations at the parks and had a blast in the warm weather. There was one thing about this Disney trip that was extremely disappointing-



This Halloween, Disney decided to throw a Micky Mouse Halloween Party (which he had heard a little bit about), this party is on Tuesday and Friday nights, so they CLOSE the park at 7 pm (which we had NOT heard about). The catch is- you can go to the party if you pay an extra $70 (after the hundreds you have spent on tickets in the first place) and they only do their fantastic, fabulous, wonderful Halloween firework show at this party. This is one of the main reasons we wanted to go in October!! Last year we drove down for one day of Disney just to see this show. Needless to say, we were a little disappointed that day. So when we got the boot at Disney, we spent our evening at California Adventure and watched World of Color- which is also cool :)



I am sure all of you are sick of hearing all about our frequent Disney excursions, but never fear- I don't know when we will be going back now that our passes have expired. I don't know if I'm up for buying another pass just yet, maybe in a couple years we'll try again.




We were pretty terrible at taking pictures this time around, we mostly got photos of all the fun decorations, but these are our cute friends and these are the only 2 photos I got of us. And no one got a photo of all 4 of us... we are so lame.














In other updates, we celebrate quite a few birthdays in October. So here is a birthday shout out to my sister-in-law Shanelle, my boss DB, my good friend Ambria, my cuz Alec and my brother-in-law Shawn! Happy (late) Birthday everyone! Here are a couple photos from Shawn's birthday party. I love Lexi's expression in this photo. Don't mind my extremely tired face.



And all the girls love to help dad open his presents. I can't believe how big my nieces are getting! They grow up way too fast. (Again- don't mind my nasty face... proof that school is slowly killing me)



With the holidays coming up- I hope I have some fun photos and stories.
