Snedaker Reunion

This weekend was the Snedaker Family Reunion. There were a ton of people and we stayed at the West Pine lodge. It was lots of fun. Claire made instant friends with the girls her age and I felt like I didn't see her much the whole time. We had fun going down the long slide, playing games, volleyball and Chris caught a couple touchdowns in their football games. I felt like I finally got to know a lot of Chris' cousins- and there are a lot. It was so beautiful and we had great weather. Not to mention tons of food - I probably gained 10 pounds! I had so much fun playing around with my camera and using the macro feature on it. Jake was a bit of a handful but he was a good boy most of the time.

Gone are the days..

We've finally weaned Jake off the bottle. I don't know why that is such a big deal to me, but I was really holding out with Jake. I guess it just seems like my baby is officially NOT a baby. Oh sad. Chris said he'd get me a new one if I wanted, I said no thank you.

Little photographer and 4th of July

I forgot my camera when we went to the 4th of July parade, so I picked up a disposable at the gas station. I FINALLY (with the help of Claire) finished the roll and thought I'd post. Claire much enjoyed the little camera and took quite a few funny pictures- I thought I'd post one. The other pictures on the roll were from our train ride to Ogden with my family.

Hunckleberries

Just thought I'd post a little of what we've been up to the past few weeks.

Jake is becoming a little busy body, always carrying something around or getting into something. He has a fascination with getting inside of things. I've found him stuck in one of my kitchen drawers that he emptied out and inside Claire's toy box. As you can tell he also found the bag of cherries and went to town. He's becoming a handful at church and we are in the countdown stage til he's into nursery.




We went "hunckleberry" picking as Claire calls it, and the kids had a
fun time picking and eating. I had never been since we've lived in Idaho and I really enjoyed the drive and definitely want to make it a yearly event.





Chris and I went to a Chukar's game with his dad and sister, that is the Minor league team who's field is just down the street. Chris' work has box seats, so we got to go for free and had a great view. It was a lot of fun, I mostly go for the food - which was sooo good, it's nice not having to share my cotton candy with four tiny little hands! And if you're wondering what a Chukar is... I'll leave that one up to your imagination.




So that's what we've been up to.

Welcome

I've finally jumped on the "blog bandwagon". Enjoy. For more information or to check out my portrait gallery you can check out my website here.

Bountiful Temple

So I got this idea in my head that I would put up a black and white pic of the Bountiful temple in our new home - whenever that happens- because that's where we got married. As I started looking around the internet, I couldn't really find any prints that I liked, so while we were down there I took a few. When I first started doing photography I thought it would just be another phase, but I just fall more and more in love with it the more I do it.

July

Man, it's been a crazy month so far! We've been in Salt Lake the last three weekends. My parents were in town for vaca and to see my sisters new little boy Ethan. She's moving to Wyoming so it's was a nice time to spend with her before she lives even further away. We had lots of fun, hanging out, eating out, and shopping. We were able to go to my Grandma Knighton's 80th birthday party. It's was good to see a lot of cousins I don't get to see a lot, they also had some pretty neat pictures of my Grandpa that I hadn't seen before. It's so fun to see those pictures of my grandma and grandpa when they were young because I never knew my grandpa so it helped me connect a little bit. It was also great to hear a few stories about him too - dad! We also went to AJ's birthday party and had the yummiest sandwhich called Muffeleta, I've never had it before but it was so good it was worth mentioning. I WANT the recipe! Ethan was blessed that same week and we had a nice little Knighton reunion at Bear Lake. My uncle has a cabin up there with some gorgeous views and my folks rented a jet ski. I love Bear Lake, always enjoy it when I go. Chris' two cousins were also married that same weekend- Aubrey and Daniel. They both had beautiful weddings, despite the flu that was running around of which we got a few days later. Then we were back on Saturday for a Bennett reunion, I'm glad we went cause Chris really enjoyed spending time relatives he doesn't get to see very often. I just can't believe it's the end of July, July always goes so fast.
