I Love Luci...IN VEGAS!!!

Can I just start by saying...I LOVE KALAMITY!!!

This last week I had the opportunity to go to Vegas with my Fam Bam!

Here's what went down...

While there we danced on the strip to raise money for our cause, Luci.

 I made a new friend, Precious! She was adorable and loved to dance! We danced together for a while!

 I love these people!

Shopped.

Ate good!

 Cheesecake Factory and Chipotle :)

Took a dance class.

And relaxed by the pool!

It was a blast and I'm regretting not taking my nice camera.

So these lame picture quality pictures are from my phone, but they'll do.

I had so much fun and can't wait til our next wild and crazy Vegas strip, all in the name of service of course! :)

GRAD. BUYS.

Well I've been busy with lots of graduations and shopping. 

Hahaha.

Here is the DL on the last week for me...

I've needed some good summer clothes. Wearing garments it's important to find clothes that won't make me sweat to death!!! :) Haha. I've also been diggin' accessories this summer, so far.

And if you know me, I'm a bargain shopper!!!

 $2 heart glasses of course. Rue 21.

 $7 wide leg trousers, and $3 solid t-shirt. H&M.

 Fun summer hat $6. Forever 21.

 

 Lace headband $2. Love Culture.

 

 Cute fake jean leggings $10. H&M.

 

Then it was graduation time!!! Jeff and I had 3 graduations to go to! These are all the seniors I had the pleasure of photographing this year!!! I'm excited for my little photography business and how it's growing, but even more excited for all these amazing graduates and their bright futures! They all will go far! I feel blessed to have such personal relationships with each of them!!!! Especially my siblings and cousins!

(More fun pictures from the graduations later!)

 Then on Friday I HAD to have these chairs!!!! Now I can't wait to redo my table!!!! If you have any suggestions on the table, please share!!!!

Better  pictures to come later!

 

 It's coming together so perfectly!

And lastly, I thought I'd share my new no make up trick! EYE BROWS!!! Best trick ever! If you want this color eye liner I have them you could buy for $1! :) 

Okay, I'm headed to Vegas for a Kalamity get away so I better pack!

I hope everyone has a wonderful Memorial Day! Hopefully I've inspired you to go shopping! Hahahaha! :)

Snow Canyon Stripling Warriors!!!

Well I am a SCHS alumni Warrior and proud of it!

What I'm even more proud of is the number of stripling "warrior" missionaries we have from Trevor's graduating class!

IT IS INCREDIBLE!!!

I was blessed enough to take the pictures for them.

They turned out great!

I can't wait to hear all the amazing mission stories of lives that were changed from these Warriors!!!!!!!

These are the ones that have calls....we have more missionaries to come!

WARRIOR NATION!!!

It's been a hard high school season for these warriors with the loss of fellow friends throughout their high school years, 2 of those losses just this last weekend.

But one thing that touched me about the testimonies I've heard about the deaths, is that they are going to be stronger missionaries because they have had to find out for themselves if the atonement and plan of salvation is real. Because of those trials they are made stronger and will bless so many more lives, plus they'll have guardian angels to assist them on the other side.

Life is precious, do all you can to make a difference.

I'M PROUD OF THESE KIDS!!!

Alma 56

State Champ!

Trevor and his rugby team took state this last weekend!

I've been so amazed this whole season with how disciplined and how amazing they are.

As I've learned more about rugby, I think it's become my favorite sport.

I'm really sad that Trev is done but I'm so excited for their victory!!!

Here are some highlights from the rugby weekend...

 Jeff and I rolled into Salt Lake around 11 and had a few hours to kill so we of course went shopping and ate! These are BOMB! Avacado egg rolls and the sauce is to die for!

 Chicken piccatta....exquisite!

 Bug eye shopping!

Low quality picture with the temple in the back :) then it was off to watch some rugby!!!!

 The state game was at Utah University's soccer field!

 They played East High and they were big boys!

Proud dad watching!

 Final score...29-34 SNOW CANYON!!!!

They did the Haka!

 My studly brother!!! He is an amazing rugby player!

 Trevor is quite the little hot commodity with all the girls so I was teasing him with this picture and you should've seen the girls watching me take this picture. Hahaha. They were pretty jealous. :)

(He has no idea how cute he is and I love it!)

 Signing the game ball for coach!

 Trevor with his coaches!

 I love my husband! I seriously hit the jackpot! He always supports me and my family and he always has a happy countenance. He teaches me so much each day about life and about love. I love him and I am so grateful to have my as my partner for "like" EVER!!!!

 After the game we went to Temple Square as a family and I went crazy with my new camera! It seriously is so amazing! All these pictures were taken at night, in not good lighting....be amazed!

 I'm thinking of printing some of these!!! Seriously I love them!!!

 Looks like day...taken at night!

Reflection in the water....ridiculous right????

 Then I saw a bride and asked her if I could take her picture cause I was really excited! She agreed and I captured these beautiful pictures!

 She gets married June 3rd and I'm really excited for her! 

 Angel, Cecilee's boyfriend, lives up in Salt Lake so he buzzed over to cheer on Trev and then hung out with us for a little! It's always fun getting to know him better!

 True love stories, like ours, LAST FOREVER!!!

 Then we walked across the street and had some cheesecake before driving home.

 It was a busy Saturday, driving there and back in one day but it was TOTALLY worth it! We had so much fun and are so proud of Trevor and all his accomplishments. It was a crazy week with mission call, state championship, and then seminary graduation Sunday, but these are memories we will hold dear forever!
