Here We Go Again!

Such a cRaZy Christmas break!

We decided to go to Utah to visit with friends and family and left on the Friday after Christmas. What a beautiful drive! I love being able to leave at the crack of dawn, sleep in a moving “bed”, and crowd around gas pumps with grouchy drivers! No, really, I do! One of my favorite things to do is stop at the outlets at Primm, especially the Williams-Sonoma outlet. We got a few last minute gifts from there and we were on our way again.

We arrived in Sandy to visit with the Adam family first. Then came the Anderson’s. We had a blast going sledding...at 9p.m!! Gailon got some amazing shots of us acting as though our ages were closer to our shoe sizes! LoVe It!!!


{I love the train station in Ogden and snapped this as I was getting into the car after a family photo shoot. Just a little bit of my Papa included in the adventure this year. He's a major train buff! Well, anything that has to do with travel. Love ya!}

Then on to Ogden, where we were blessed to attend a private concert at the Treehouse Children’s Museum. My aunt and uncle were able to secure the tenor from the Utah Symphony, George Dyer, to give a private concert to a few of their closest friends and family. AmAzIng, to put it mildly! His voice and style of entertaining an audience made for an amazing event. Not only that, but Gailon was the photographer for the event! LoVe It!!! I'll have to have him share some of those pictures, or check them out at www.gailon.com

Next big event was New year’s Eve. We were able to spend it with my cousin and her family. We had so much fun playing Sequence. They have a tournament and they are serious about this game! We were a bit intimidated at first because we were new to the game, but we held our own and came in fifth place out of ten couples.

We decided to return on Saturday, much later than we normally would have done before. Lucky for us we were able to spend much of it driving through snow, salt, sand, and who knows what else. Made for an ExCiTiNg adventure, to put it mildly!


[sorry it is so blurry, i couldn't stop shaking! you would be too if you were in beaver, utah at the crack of dawn with the wind chill somewhere around 20 degrees! this is the running board of the car, caked in muddy ice and salt. YuMmY!]


Now it is back to the grindstone, continuing our adventures in photography and life!

Happy New year!

I've been in Beaver with the mud and ice and salt and fog. No fun! Glad you two are home safe!!

Thanks! That fog has got to be one of the freakiest things I have ever experienced! Combined with the snow and all, wow!

I am so happy you guys had a fun adventure, but I am really happy you are back. We missed our Tucker Family. Love the picture of your family! PS you and Gailon can have the snow, my body is only allowed to live in Cali weather.
