Engagement Photo Shoot.

2011-12-08T09:35:00.001-08:00

Chelsey and Landis

These two were such a fun couple and guess how they met...the army. Cool right?

They both jumped out of helicopters and stuff to take troops supplies.
I thought it was pretty awesome.

Fun Photo Shoot

2011-08-22T08:44:00.000-07:00

Since working at my new job I've had the opportunity of doing a lot more shooting. The studio is closed on mondays so my boss allows me schedule a shoot of my own if I'd like. My Brother Trever came up and we tried a new lighting technique that we've been doing at work. It's all shot on a white background then you can place whatever background you want. It's a lot of fun!Megan also came with him so we did a mini shoot of them together. They are so cute!

I am a slacker...

2011-07-21T16:37:00.000-07:00

I am such a slacker, I know!!

Sorry to anyone who has missed my lovely blogs. haha
I can't promise that I'll get any better though- it's summer, play time!
As of my life and what has happened I got a new job!! Yep!
I'm now working for Mackley Design and Portraiture.
It's a fun job...or should I say I believe it will lead to a fun job...
right now there is a lot of unknown territory so it can get overwhelming.
Since I haven't really been in a studio since graduated from collage-
there is a lot of much needed reminding. I'll be doing everything
from shooting, editing and designing to answering phones, scheduling and anything else.
Anyways, just thought I'd post the slurpee pics for the last couple months.

I'll be posting another shortly with some fun photo shoots I've done as well.
Hope all of you are doing great and having a fun summer!!

7/11 project

2011-03-13T20:15:00.000-07:00

I haven't been good at keeping up on my blog so i'll post January, February and March's pics for the 7 eleven visit. March is for SURE the coolest and I hope to have plenty more cool ones coming.
YAY for SLURPS!!

and her real age is....

2011-01-24T09:54:00.000-08:00

It's been forever since i've blogged I think i've forgotten how...must be my age!

Yesterday at Church I got a new calling...wait for it wait for it...

"25 or better representative."

This is not a joke people...this calling is for real!

They asked me to stand then proceeded to announce my calling

and as they did I heard a gasp and then little whispers fill the congregation.

Things like: "She's how old," "I was wondering where that old lady

smell was coming from," and "that explains the wrinkles" etc. etc.

Then after sacrament one of my guy friends comes up to me and says,

"Jami!! Now everyone knows how old you really are."

PSH!

Anyways- life is good!

Hope everyone is doing great!

Random (funny) Video

2010-07-29T07:40:00.000-07:00

I think Kenz and I sat there for about ten min laughing our heads off...we just thought it was the funniest thing! Nobody would ever come check on their car either...maybe joke was on us IDK. LOL oh the simple things in life!

So much fun bundled in a box of STRESS!

2010-07-10T19:45:00.000-07:00

RAGNAR!!!!

Last month we were assigned to document the ragnar race for Icon.
We were highlighting a couple NordicTrack teams, FreeMotion team
and a girl and guys"Elite team."
We were given a piece of paper that had everyones names and which
leg they were running.
Our job was to find them, at the right time might I add, and catch
them on film running.
For those of you that don't know. Ragnar is a 24 hour relay.
You have 12 people on your team and you have to get
from Logan Utah to Park City Utah= 188 miles.
So we started at 7:30 friday morning and I got home Saturday
around 8:00. There are teams starting the race friday morning around
5:00 til friday night around 6:00. So there are teams finishing
all day saturday.
Anyways so it was SUCH an adventure, for sure a learning experience!

This pic is at snow basin. Pretty sweet, they had free massage and
chiropractic for the runners, along with a band
(that sucked) drinks etc.Pretty cool lil set up they got going on. We got so many people excited when we would come flying by with the camera watching them run.

I have never been trained in the video camera department...so when out of the blue i'm asked to go be one at the finish line catching the teams we were following come in...I got a lil stressed. Ok a lot stressed. At this point I was running on one hour of sleep, it was 90 degrees and I was in jeans and a long sleeve shirt. (Good thing the shirt was mesh or I would have died, no i'm not being dramatic.) I laugh about it now but at this point I was having to focus on not crying I was just so tired and drained. Anyways...not one to brag or anything but pretty sure I have some good footage. haha ;)
This is my buddy Rick "the Camera Man" Page. I was his P.A. for the Ragnar, we had some good times and good laughs.
First trip to Bear Lake this summer. That place is great! The water still needs to take some time to warm up but it sure is fun. Made some new friends Josh and wait for it wait for it...Josh. haha. There were other to, but these two helped us build the grand castle.

Random things

2010-03-18T16:01:00.000-07:00

This is just a quick update of my life- I Don't have a whole lot of time to blog right now but I didn't want to get to far behind.

Brad- the neighbor downstairs, invited Kenz and I to go Skeet Shooting,
it was SO fun! As hard as it is to admit it, I usually hit like every 1 out of 10...
NOT THIS TIME! I think I hit about 80%!! :)
My Dad would be so proud!

Kenz- Brad- Me

I don't know what the deal was but I started off being a pretty dang good
thrower...but then I just embarrassed my self. haha

BRAD

KENZ-
Tough Competition!

Let me Introduce you to Jason (aka Jace).
Sometimes he thinks he's a gangster- hence the gangster sign. haha
Jace is from Colorado, is on the USU track team and for some reason
seems to be following me around (wink wink).

He went to Burley with me last weekend and we had to introduce him to the farm life,
and of course, dirtbikes! He's only ridden once before, so Trever gave him a
short run down, good times.

JACE and TREV

At a USU Basketball game. I've only been to like two but can I just say
I think the students are so mean to the other team...
Yes it's pretty entertaining and funny, but I can't help
but feel bad for the other team. LOL!!

ME and JACE

ME and KENZ
Lots of fun, not much time, but there ya go!
Hope all is well with everyone!
LOVE YOU ALL!

Red fish blue fish 1, 2, 3...I can make poems to you see!

2010-02-26T09:07:00.000-08:00

I try to be cool but usually I'm just me,
So last week I tried to be cool times 3.
I put my hat on my head, got bundled up tight,
I was going snowboarding you see...I even went ALL night.
Crash after crash I got right back up
I would not be stopped by a few Big Bump(s).

My knees, my butt, my back, my head
"psh, pain doesn't matter," thats what they all said!
So time after time- red face blue face 1, 2, 3
I had so much fun, I didn't even hit a tree.
As I grow up I become cooler and tough
But you already know that stuff.
~The End~

Sometimes Making Memories Makes Ya Sweat

2010-02-15T14:38:00.000-08:00

This weekend some of my family and I went to the little town of Kemmerer Wyoming.

When I say town I mean two stop lights, a grocery store, couple gas stations and the first ever...

the mother store - J.C. Penny's.
History Baby History!

My aunt is the P.E. Teacher at the Elementry School there so she has the keys
and the hook ups for all the fun stuff in the school.
The Schools there have so many fun things to play with for P.E.
It's not just your usual basketballs and a couple kickballs. You want it, they got it!!
They have everything!! Not to mention the pool and the cross country ski equipment.
Sadly my Camera died so I didn't get to take very many pictures.
The cross country skiing was
way fun though. My Dad, Mom, Morgan and I were the only ones that could hack the whole coarse. It was pretty intense and breaking trail makes a person tired thats for sure! I wish my Camera hadn't of died so I could have gotten a picture of us on top of the mountain.
I even got a little (a lot) of sun on my face...can't wait for summer! :)

It doesn't always take lots of money, a big city and lots of shopping to make some of the best memories. Every activity was active, fun and with some of the people I love most.
Whether is racing in the pool, games in the gym, watching mom fall down while skiing time and time again and always laughing,
Jess and DJ thinking the downstairs was haunted or just relaxing and eating the good food-
It was all so fun and I LOVE MY FAMILY!

Blasted Pride!!!

2010-01-09T20:46:00.000-08:00

So there I was at the gym on the the treadmill minding
my own business
when one of those really little, perfect hair, perfect make-up
kinda girl shows up...ya know
the ones that wear nicer clothes to workout in than I do in my daily life.
She jumps on the treadmill beside me (and my blasted pride)
so I think to myself,
"She might be cuter but I can out run her."
Oh I don't know why I have to have such a competitive nature!!
I was already about a mile into my run when this all happened...
Well 45 min later she FINALLY leaves and I couldn't just
stop right when she stopped, that would be WAY to obvious...
so I ran another five min.
Needless to say, the gym kicked my butt today!
What a long run!!

Fun in Photoshop

2009-10-26T20:45:00.001-07:00

Today was kind of a stressful day. Work almost killed me, really, I'm not even being dramatic! Trying to be creative at work can make me wanna pull my hair out sometimes. I got my degree in Photography, let me be more clear, STILL Photography (and business which is boring). I work with mostly After Affects which is dealing with shapes, texts, movie clips, graphics...then making them all move in a way that doesn't look Cheesy or that a two year old did it. My Boss is VERY picky (which I actually appreciate...usually) but come on! I think I just need a vacation. Since I'm not sure I'll be getting one of those til at least Thanksgiving I had to come home today and let loose in photoshop, My all time favorite program. I just wanted to be creative and not have someone tell me it wasn't good enough. lol I think I might have gone a little over-board, but I had fun. I can't wait for the day that I'm my own boss and can focus on photography more. I love it so much! The little man had a photo shoot a couple weekends ago. He is growing so fast! So this is one of the favs and one of my favorite buddies, Parker! :)

Some of my Favorites! :)

2009-10-12T15:59:00.000-07:00

My Nieces and Nephews are so fun to have around! I love them SO much!

Last Weekend I....

2009-10-10T18:39:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Kenz and I took one of our old roommates to Burley. Good times, lots of fun, lots of food...and oh the memories.

Mel, Kenz, Me, Kristen

Ken'z Dad took us out in the middle of no where in Paul and we went shooting then explored a cave. Pretty sure caves creep me out... especially when there are so many tunnels to get lost in.
I wasn't too scared though, seeing that we are all strong enough to hold it up if it were to start crumbling down. haha!

Weekend with Roommates

2009-08-31T14:33:00.001-07:00

Friday night Brooke, Me and Kenz decided to go light some left over fireworks and throw them in the water. As lame as that might sound, since fire and water usually don't mix, it was a lot of fun! The fireworks called, "flowers" look really cool spinning in the water at night. It's considered a talent to be able to always have fun in a town with not a whole lot to do. I love smaller towns and the creativity that comes when people are figuring out something to do.
Me and Kenz... we match! lol All I can say is I got dressed first!!
Saturday night we (all of us roommates) all well on a group date to the Tremonton Fair and Rodeo. Paige (far right) works at the Buckle in the mall and guys are ALWAYS asking for her number. Last week a guy asked for her number and she didn't want to go on the date alone so she told him she would go if he got friends for her roommates. lol It was pretty fun up until the part when Kenz and I's date came across like they didn't want to pay for us to go on any rides...and we didn't bring cash. LOL It was still fun though.
The Group From Left to right:
Back Row: Rob (cut out of picture lol) Brook, Nick, Kenz, Paige, Eric
Front Row: ME, Ryan

Photo Shoot

2009-08-27T10:18:00.000-07:00

This past weekend I had a photo shoot with one of my old friends from high school, Tana, and her fiance Todd. It was a lot of fun and I think we got a lot of good pictures. I can't wait for the day I can focus more time and my career on my photography business. I love it!!

2009-08-14T16:33:00.000-07:00

This past weekend was a family reunion. The Mallory Reunion...It rained pretty much the entire time but we still had a lot of fun! Before it rained we got in a dirt bike ride that ended up being about an hour and a half long! It was so much fun!
Some got bumps, some got bruises, some took a fall or two, but we all ate A LOT of dirt. I love my family so much and I'm SO grateful for my parents that raised us the way they did.
My mom kept us in line while my dad taught us to work hard- they both taught us that when all is said and done...its time to play hard!

Jess, Mel (ate the most dirt), Megan (just getting into this motor bike thing), Morgan (such a young rider and does really well), ME

Awesome Week!!

2009-07-27T14:45:00.000-07:00

This week has been so much fun!!!
Tuesday I had a friend call me up to go golfing, which I have missed SO much! I haven't golfed for two years since I don't have many friend that enjoy the sport, YES it is a sport!
Wednesday I helped set up for one of the coolest video shoots ever, which brings me to thursday...
Thursday I helped on a video shoot with JILLIAN MICHAELS! For those of you that don't know who that is, you should be ashamed, she is one of the trainers off of the T.V. series, "Biggest Loser."

I Loved it, it was so much fun! She's my hero! She didn't start out fit, she had to work for it...and that my friends, is something to be proud of!!! I have set a new goal, a high goal might I add, to one day spend at least a full day with her. Pick at her brain, figure out how she thinks, and of course get some helpful hints. I'm now considering going back to SCHOOL to be a physical Trainer. I just love how the biggest loser is set up and what transformations people go through, they become totally different people! More confidant, happier, healthier...and of course FIT!

Friday I headed off to the good ol' State of Idaho and the small town of Burley to play with family. We went boating friday and it was my first time "catching some air" on the wakeboard!! SO FUN! Wish I had a picture but I don't... I can't wait to get back out on the water and do it again!

Saturday my mom taught me the tricks of the coupon trade. haha It cracks me up! She gets so much for nothing!! LOVE IT! Then when we got home I took my nephew Parker for a ride on the four wheeler. He thinks thats the greatest thing and it keeps him happy so we road around for like an hour! lol Good times!

Sunday was my nieces baby blessing and she is oh so freakin CUTE! I love that girl! We had a nice family dinner after and enjoyed each others company!

LOVE!

4th of July Trip to Georgia

2009-07-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

Over the 4th of July I got invited to go with a friend to GEORGIA. She went on her mission there and was invited my someone she taught (Kenny) to come visit- all expense paid! :) So here is the story (short version) of my trip to Georgia!

We left EARLY (plane flew out at 6:20 a.m.) Thursday morning so in order to have time to drive to the airport, find parking, get through security, etc. we had to wake up at 3:30 a.m.! Enter picture 1- Waiting our turn to board the plane...I was SO tired but SO excited (this was my first plane ride- crazy I know) at the same time that there was NO WAY I was going to be able to sleep. JaNan on the other hand found it very easy to sleep whenever possible.

SO EXCITED TO FLY....

Some of the Random things we did on the flight:
Pic. 1- JaNan Texting one of her many man lovers AFTER they told us to turn off and put all electronic devices away. BAD GIRL! It was pretty funny though how she tried to disguise it behind the emergency pamphlet.
Pic. 2- So I got a little nervous- the only thing I could think of to calm my nervous...
HA! Jk. The guy the sat next to JaNan got one and I don't know why but I wanted a picture. lol So JaNan leaned over and was like, "Um my friend doesn't drink but she likes your bottle, can she have a picture with it?" He gave me a wierd look and kept laughing at me while I was taking a picture. I'm random, I konw.
Pic. 3- My entertainment for several hours while JaNan always seemed to be sleeping as soon as we took off. I fell in love with Cran-Apple minute maide. YUM! (Vodka free)

First site of ATLANTA! :) Though this might be what most people think Atlanta looks like...it's not at all. There are tree GALORE! Everywhere you drive you can't see where you destination is because tree (Big Trees) line both sides of the road. Its so pretty- but it can also cause frustration when you get lost for HOURS on end. I sure am glad I wasn't driving!First meal in Georgia. This was the start of way to many HUGE meals! I tasted things that were, well frankly, disgusting! Of course there were several things that were SO good and thats why I probably gained 50lbs while I was there. lol. Okra, black-eyed peas, Fried Chicken, Salt (is that a food cuz I think they put it on by the cubes), Red Velvet cake, Carrot cake, steak, oh and don't forget the GRITS! (My face turns green thinking about the grits).
This cute little old lady was a friend of JaNan's. She came with us to dinner and was pretty funny. I love her fancy flower hat! Classy! She got mad at me though for waisting some chicken... thats a "sin" in the south! haha

Our Hotel: We stayed in the "Westin." Nice place! It made it hard to wake up every morning cuz our beds were beyond comfy! The timer on the camera was SO fast so I look a little retarted from trying to run and jump on the bed before it took the picture. lol The other picture is a view from our window...told ya, SO MANY TREES!

Play TIME!!! Friday night was our time to play and see the sites of Atlanta. JaNan wanted me to experience riding "Marta" which is the train system that loops around Most of Atlanta. Here I am pretending to "Patiently wait" but really I wasn't very patient. lol

CNN Center

This picture cracks me up! So we went to the Olympic square. In the middle there is all this water shooting up (yes, i'll state the obvious thank you). So it was all black kids so I was like, "JaNan go stand in the middle of them, you'll be the only white tall person." haha See if you can find her. She has a black shirt on so she kind of blends! lol ;)

Underground Mall- It's pretty sweet! There is a bunch of history behind what it was before it became a mall. I won't go into that though. This post is already miles long.

Saturday was the 4th and we had us a nice big BBQ at the Chatanooga River. We had SO much food...enough to feed about 40 and there was 8 of us. Yes, I'm a very patriotic person! I didn't even think about it til I came home that Crocks were probably around those parts! Scary! You can pretty much cross the entire river without even getting your head wet. Fun place to play!

Our group at the BBQ. Kenny is the guy in the wheel chair that flew us over there. He fought in the Vietnam war so it was pretty cool to hear a few of his stories. Seemed like a pretty good way to spend the fourth to me. He's a very generous guy and he always had me laughin at things he would say.

Well there are a ton more pictures and stories I could go on and on about but this blog is so long!! So last but not least is the fly home. I'll only post one picture of the clouds from the plane. I took about thirty, JaNan thinks i'm weird cuz of how many pictures I took.

I like to call this my "Air Force One" Shot. lol Georgia was a blast! I LOVED it and I can't wait til the next opportunity I have to travel again! It really is so fun seeing different parts of the world and experiencing how other people think and live.Oh and P.S. I got to see a FIREFLY!!!! They are so cool, I've waiting 25 years to see one of those bugs!

Prank...

2009-07-13T08:32:00.000-07:00

Someone pulled a prank on me! A little bit ago I woke up to t.p. and love notes all over my car. It made me laugh. The funny thing was that I had to shoot a wedding that weekend. So before I went to the reception I had to wash it all off so I wouldn't be confused with the real bride. lol Yes, I look like crap, it was early, give me a break. haha

Favorite Aunt Once again! :)

2009-06-21T20:41:00.000-07:00

My oldest sister Emily just had her forth baby and she is SO dang cute! It's funny how when new borns come into this world you can sit and hold them and look at them for hours and hours at a time. I love her so much!!!
BAILEY EMMA HILL

Shoes...that express myself.

2009-06-09T11:58:00.001-07:00

So I just bought these shox! haha Lets be honesty here, are they not the coolest? I'm just trying to create my future thats all...someday I'll have money coming out my ears...uh out my shoes? Ok lame joke!

Fun Filled Weekend...and More

2009-06-01T20:59:00.000-07:00

I like to think I get joy out of the small things...I'm not saying I wouldn't enjoy a nice weekend in Hawaii, but non-the-less I had a great fun filled weekend with me and my best buddy Kenz! Friday we went to the new Disney Movie, "UP" in 3D!!! It was a blast! I know I'm not the quickest person in the world and all ya-all have probably already seen movies in 3D but I haven't and I thought it was the coolest thing! It was so fun and gosh we were all SO attractive!

Saturday I ended up having to work, which is pretty much against my religion but I let it fly this one time. So after work we decided we would go up to bear lake and check out how things were up there. It was pretty cold so we just had an amazing skipping rocks contest (cough, cough...I won!) We then hit up "bear lake pizza" and made our way home. On the way home we had a ton of random fun. We stopped at this historical site...not sure what it's called but it was awesome! The water is coming out of the ground! haha ok that sounded very blonde...but it is!! Usually you see it coming out of the mountain, but nope not here! lol It's cool!!

2009-05-20T10:01:00.000-07:00

I don't know where time goes so fast...I feel like weeks go by so slow sometimes, yet months seem to fly! I'm so ready for summer to be here! I've started doing my morning runs again and it feels great (usually). I'm looking forward to all the joys of summer: Sun, longer days, tan legs, family reunions, watermelon, BBQ's but most of all I can't wait to go boating/wakeboarding!!! Don't get me wrong, I don't love it because I can do cool tricks and impress everyone. Lets be honest, I kinda suck...ok I really suck, BUT I'm getting better and I think it's so fun!!!!!! Bring on the Wake!

MY DATING LIFE:

Just an update on my love life, for those of you that care...and some that bug me constantly about it- I'm still single. HAHA!

I've been going on a couple dates lately but the biggest thing i've come to learn about it so far is that I have more respect for those of you that are married! HAHA! Not even kidding, I mean flip there are so many morons out there...how the heck did you people find a true love!? I never have that, "can't wait to see him again feeling." It's more of a, sad but true, "oh he's a nice boy, bless his heart" while think in the back of my head, "glad thats over...now how am I going to ditch him without coming off as a total jerk!?" Yeah so anyways...thats the love life, good story huh? ;) Any tips or suggestions are always welcome...

2009-03-29T19:48:00.000-07:00

So friday a group of us did almost the most random thing I think I've ever done! It was awesome, with loads of laughs, weird looks and pretty sweet pictures.
Our guy friends loaded up a couch in the back of their truck and we went around Logan finding random spots to take a group picture... we like to refer to it as, "the adventures of the couch."
Here are a few pictures...

I'll admit it- I felt tough in this picture! Ha

Advice needed!!

2009-02-26T19:30:00.000-08:00

Ok so here is the deal:
Considering the world around me, aka the LAME economy, is it smart to purchase an automobile (aka "car/SUV" for those of you with a vocabulary below average)?
YES, I have a job- but ya never know how long it will last and if it will pull through. I mean i'm in the production industry...when people don't have money T.V. is at the top of the list of things they start to eliminate so therefore nobody would want to produce anything people watch on their T.V. AND IF THAT HAPPENS I'M IN TROUBLE!! I could do more with my photography degree but nobody really cares about pictures (which is beyond sad) when they only have a couple dollars to their name!
I feel that I need to get a new car while I can still actually get something for my car. They say now is the "buyers market" but is that just what they say to try to keep people buying? Maybe.
Besides...i'm pretty sure I'll be getting married in the near future (my Mom teaches me often about the power of positive thinking so i'm going with it on this one) and if I get married then come kids and i'll need somthing greater than the fabulous VW Bug. Right? Right!! ;)
Anywho so i'm throwing this out there for all your opinions, what do you think?

3- Tag 6 people at the end of your post.

4- Let each person know they have been tagged and leave a comment on their blog.

5- Let the tagger know when your entry is up.

I know I'm a Random Person, but when it comes to remembering what I do, I can't remember anything and I think i'm normal. haha

1-Right now this very second I have fake nails on for the first time in my life...surprisingly I've kept them on for almost a week and hold strong!

2-I LOVE Shox shoes...and I've come to the conclusion that when I get married I'm wearing some with my wedding dress. They are the equivalent of heels for your everyday sporty chick. ;)

3-I have an addiction: Biggest Loser...every Tuesday night is MINE and no one can take that away from me...i've even ended a date short so I could be home in time. haha Dates are over-rated. haha JK!

4- One reason I get so much amusement out of texting is because you get to see how many words are spelled with the same number keys. lol Interesting aye?

5-Most people think it's random that i have all my hang up clothes organized by color...but personally I think more people should try it! It makes getting ready a lot faster!

6-I only eat green bananas. I mean not green green...but once they hit the "normal" ripe stage I don't like the taste. Once they hit the "ripe" stage they then have to sit for another two weeks so they are banana bread worthy. YUMMO!

Ok ok yes i'm random cuz I could keep going but I won't...I've probably lost some friends by having them read this. lol I TAG: G, Mary, Melese, Amber, Tami, Misti

Ok so now that that is over...
It has been such a long time since i've blogged it's kinda sad. I believe I have a great life but I guess since I haven't been on cruises, big road trips or have kids it's hard to feel that it's blog "worthy" lol.
Anyhow- life is great, I love it! I still have the same job... and love it. I signed up for a gym and have been going daily. I feel great! Not to mention there are so many hotties there...LOVE IT! haha I believe my true love is there- if I can just get him to realize this then my life would be complete.
My little Bro got married last weekend and it was beautiful. My sisters and I had to sing at the brunch...we all started crying haha how embarrassing. Love you Trever and Megan!

Love you all!

TAGGED!

2008-10-27T19:57:00.000-07:00

I have been TAGGED by Shannon...I guess the rules are to go to your 4th picture file and post your fourth picture. Then tag 4 friends. I have decided to tag Mary Beck, Alissa Haines, Shaundalee Morgan and Kara Doutt. I hope you girls can do better than me! LOL I don't have my pictures filed in anyway other than folder on my computer so I just went to my fourth folder and went to the fourth picture.... Any way, this is what I came up with.

Ok well good luck to you all!

Decorating can be SO fun!

2008-10-25T15:39:00.001-07:00

So yesterday Kenz and I got kinda bored so we decided we would spice up our apartment by adding some very "fine" decoration. We called up all our friends from, "People Magazine" and had a photoshoot...hoping that the results would bring pictures to hang on our walls. It was a grand ol` time and here are the results...I'm pointing at my favorite hottie! ;)

The Joy of Halloween

2008-10-25T15:10:00.000-07:00

Last night was a pretty INTENSE night. We decided to go all out and go to a corn maze! Now this was not just a corn maze- but a HAUNTED corn maze. There was everything from chain saw killers to scare crows that came alive and ran at us! I got so scared...yes I get scared easy but this was a pretty good rush. I think Kenz thought I was a freak cuz I wouldn't let her get to far away from me. (If I could just find a man, it would be less of problem right? lol) I had to have her to hid behind at all moments. There is just something about people running at you with weird costumes that sends a shiver up your spine and you can't help but belt out a shreek! There were many times when we got so scared and then thought we were alone until we looked over our shoulder! Just FREAKY! Don't you just love halloween! haha

After feeling like we were going in circles for over an hour we decided that we would start makin friends with these wandering demonds in the corn. Yes they still gave us the usual scare and caught us off gaurd...but after that we were like, "ok thanks for that scare...can you help us out of here, or at least point us in the right direction? PLEASE!" They were pretty nice and willing to help. Even after we got help it still took us forever to find the exit. I think it was cuz they used word like head "north" and "turn east." Who does that? I'm from Idaho, I'm a girl and I'm BLONDE! We say, go a couple block, turn right at church, go straight until the brown house...blah blah blah. Anyways we finally found our selves out...and it was a joyous occasion! lol

Life Update....

2008-10-22T15:45:00.000-07:00

I know it has been a few weeks since I have updated all y'all on my life so I thought I would throw a quick update on here. (Some of you have requested I update since you have a boring life at work and need something to read). MY LIFE IS THE SAME AND I HAVEN'T DONE MUCH!

But thanks for stopping by...stand by, i'm sure i'll be doing something very exciting very soon!

Farmer Man

2008-10-04T16:45:00.000-07:00

I just had to post these pictures of my nephew! Last weekend I went home and it's harvest at our house so everyone is pretty busy. Garianne is driving truck for my dad so Parker gets to ride all day long until he is rescued by Tyler. Well Saturday Tyler didn't have to work so he had Parker. He brought him over to the house all dressed up as if he's going out to work! It was so flippen cute! He had his John Deere tractor boots and Caterpillar hat on with some Carhartt overalls. Ya can't help but laugh right? Anyways of course being his favorite aunt I took him out and took some pictures...Don't mind my face...I had just gotten done mowing the lawn so i'm pretty trashy. lol Oh well life's great!! ;)

MY liFe at Firefly Productions

2008-09-12T10:59:00.000-07:00

I thought I would just put up some pictures from our last video shoot. It was 12 different workouts that we shot in 3 days. All these picture were taken by our camera man and I always give him a little bit of attitude and we joke around a lot. He gave me a nick name that some of you (most of you) might agree with with which is "Sass-n-frass." haha So yeah by the looks of the picture you can see I always give him a hard time...it's one thing I do well! ;) These days are always so stressfull and LONG but they are fun and I get some great hours in! haha
Here on the right are two of the sets we used for the workouts and the top one has some of the "pink fitness" ladies. The one on the very left side is so funny and a model that we have used often. She is one of my favorites and has a freakin hilarious belly button...yeah kinda wierd that I know that- but when you are watching them all day you notice just about everything...oh never mind I know I'm gonna get crap about that. LOL Anyways when she was doing this workout for the first time she was workin up a pretty good sweat and she yells out, "Just a warning- I sweat like a Dude!" haha
Then here once again just some attitude and a fun photoshop job. lol It's hard for me to just post pictures cuz even when they are snap shots i'm thinkin in my head..."thats boring I know I can improve it in someway"...then I usually get carried away. Oh well- It's my blog! Get off my back! haha
Just a little side note- yes I graduated from BYU-Idaho and no I have never attented Utah State but I already have more Utah State shirts than BYU-Idaho shirts...lol Oh well- I have to fit in I guess...
XOXO

White Trash Bash... Oh boy!!

2008-09-08T21:24:00.000-07:00

There is no "bash" like a "white trash bash!"
It's just one of those things that I try not to explain! haha

To your left you will see Ty, one of our buddies that pulls off the look pretty well with the suspenders and farms tan!

Above: McKenz and I...check out my pants- Yeah EW! haha They are like 50 kinds of material... NOT comfy! Mom they probably take you back to some good memories! HA JK JK! LOVE YOU MOM!

Left: Stan- he threw this shindig (and yes that word is legal to use when talking about this bash), pretty good turn out! Met some new (interesting) people...but hey I guess I can't judge! LOL Oh the fun and adventures! I mean honestly you can tell it's mostly mormons trying to be funny... most were modest, or at least "mostly" modest and we have the look a like beer bottles...no worries to any of you!! It's just IBC root beer. Heck carbination is enough for me! BLAH! Anyways... until next time!

P.S. There are a lot of you out there that need to update your blogs!!! HELLO don't you know I need stuff to do at work!?

BEEP-weAtHer WArnINg iN LOgaN!

2008-09-01T13:31:00.000-07:00

Yeah so check this craziness out! One day it's bright and sunny and the next day we have this crazy lightning going on! It was so bright, loud and scary! As you can see it was pretty intense! Mckenzie and I decided we would wake up and go on a bike ride in the rain and wild weather- it was cold but very fun. Can you believe the timing of this shot with the lightning!? OH MAN! We both have big smiles but we were crying inside out of fear for our lives! haha

P.S. Ok I can't lie I love photoshop, thats fake lightning...well its real but I got if off the internet. haha We did go riding in the rain but the weather wasn't that intense, just rain and small thunder and lightning! haha I love making people believe i'm cool! ;) Gotta love "my life as me!"

2008-08-24T18:38:00.000-07:00

Yeah Yeah I know, it's been over a month since i've posted and I just feel so bad cuz I know reading my blog is what a lot of you look forward to everyday of your life! :) So to my fans I apologize and to the rest of you I say- here is more about me that you don't care to really know but read to make me feel good! haha!

Anyways first off I had a request to update on what I've been doing in my life in the past few years. Ok so I finally graduated from college. I have my associates in photography and my bachelors in applied business managment. I did my internship for my bachelors here in logan Utah at a videography place and after finishing that they offered me a job- so here I stay! We do a lot of workout videos, QVC, HSN stuff...We also did a music video for Lonestar this summer. That was fun but stressfull! If ya wanna watch it you can go to youtube.com and look up "lonestar let me love you." If ya watch it let me know what ya think. We are doing another music video this fall and maybe making a movie this fall. So if we do those that will be a joy i'm sure!! I still love photography and do it on the side when someone asks me...Other than that I'm still single and looking! haha

Ok so now to add some fun to the blog...a lot of you always add "great recipe's" or "my favorite" or "something I just tried that you must try." So I thought I would join in on the fun and show ya something I recently made and share the recipe with YOU...because you're worth it!

Yep you guessed it...JELLO! It's not the easiest thing to make...but for the very difficult recipe see the side of the Jello box! HAHA! Oh and Yes McKenzie's Jello LOOKS cooler than mine but minde TASTED better! ;) (they were the same jello).

Anyways- thats all I got to say! LOVE YOU ALL!

Oh.......CUTE!

2008-07-10T17:28:00.000-07:00

Over the 4th of July I took my nephews 1 year old pictures...I just had to share cuz he's so freakin cute! What a stud he is- and he has so many different facial expressions. haha! No wonder why it's so hard for me to find a man to marry- there is too much pressure to find a HOT HOTTIE so I can have the cutest kids! :) So i'm gonna start blamming my sinlge life on my sister and sister-in-law...hm sounds fair to me!

Man of my dreams...

2008-06-30T15:41:00.001-07:00

Just another real fast story- this ones short... So the other day I was driving home and as I was making a right hand turn there was this VERY nice (well at leats I think so, I didn't get a GOOD look at him) looking guy on a motor bike waiting at the light (Yeah even cuter than this guy ...thats just a demo pic don't let it fool ya). As I was keeping eye contact all of the sudden he throws a nice little wave my direction! (I'm sure there was a wink too but I was too far away to notice) It was grand and I wish I would have turned around but I didn't and if I saw him I probably wouldn't recognize him. OH SAD! So if ya see him please oh please send him my way cuz I'm pretty sure we are suppose to get married.

P.S. My roommate Mckenzie thinks he was waving at her so if she says anything to those of you that know her just go along with it and keep her happy! ;) hehe

Crazy adventure!

2008-06-30T15:09:00.000-07:00

Wowzers we had one of the greatest adventures the other day. As many of you- probably don't know- my roommates and I love to head off to the long lost mountains, that are forever away but so worth our time and have cook outs. The other day we wanted to have a cook out so bad but didn't have anything to cook and (like the average college student) no money to go to the store and get anything.... Well we decided that we would take a gun and just go hunting for our dinner. We only made it about 10 miles when we saw a"yummy looking" animal! Yep it was a goat. So my roommate gets out of the car and starts sneaking toward this goat with the gun. I was thinking to myself, "whatever there is no way she is really going to shoot that! For one she's not that brave and for two it's somebody elses animal!!!" Boy was I wrong...she got like 100 yard from it and BAM! The goat falls down....I couldn't believe it! So here are a few pics from the cookout...it was SO YUMMY...
You probably don't believe this adventure- and well ya probably shouldn't cuz yeah I just made that all up! haha You had fun reading it though right? ;) The real story: Yes we do love to have cookouts in the mountains...like 5 minutes away- but this was just a HUGE steak I got from home. Usually the steaks are cut up into like 3 pieces a package but this big ol' hunk of meat was what we got! I just started to laugh cuz of course we forgot to bring any kind of utensile except for a fork and a couple small small knifes. So we just decided to throw it on there as a whole. lol It was fun. The fire...well thats another story...I swear they are harder to keep going then I remember! It was our patience tester for the day I think. haha Anyhow, its a good thing steak doesn't have to be fully cooked all the way through! :) Good times, good memories...lots of laughs!

First Post!

2008-06-26T08:09:00.000-07:00

Now when i say "first post" it's kind of a lie....I had a blog once, but I don't think anyone read it so I stopped cuz it was pointless! So now everyone says, "if ya don't have a blog your behind and so not cool." Little do they know I was actually about 2 years ahead of them in the "coolness" department! HA! Anyways- i'll give it another try...

I guess for this great grand and wonderful post I'll tell ya about my morning jog- now usually it's just a jog, nothing big, go out and run, come back and thats that- but no not this morning. This morning as I was getting started I went to cross the street (cuz the sign said walk) and as I was going this moron that was turning right started pulling out to go!! Yeah I had to pick up my speed so I could keep all my limbs attached. It was scary...don't worry, I turned around and gave him "the look." Anyhow so then about a mile into the jog I'm minding my own business well all the sudden like 2 feet away from me there is this HUGE gofer!! (At least I think it was a gofer, I don't know but that would be my guess). Yeah it was, I would say, a little bigger than my head plus a tail- freaked ME OUT! I was gonna stop and say hello but I just figured that would be abad idea. Do they bite?
