Proof of skydiving!

I'm Leaving on an airplane!

Coming in for a landing

I'm still smiling~ In fact I was so giddy I was ready to go again

Mystery Canyon

Yeah, these are from a while ago but it was an incredible time and I was going through my Southern Utah experience by getting my Cd's out and organizing photos and I just had to share these. I get all giddy when I look back at them.

This is me starting into the swim in the log jam from a flash flood

My friends doing the same. The smell left something to be desired.

After the swim!

The log jam was incredible. When a flash flood comes through a slot canyon it is like a dam just broke and so much water all at once goes through the canyon and moving anything in it's path. I have seen logs nearly 50 feet up in a canyon from a flash flood. Here we were swimming with debris and really had to help each other make it through. You can't move when you are surrounded by logs ,silt, branches leaves and who knows what else.

If you zoom in i am in this picture towards the bottom of one of the few rappels in this canyon. This was the largest rappel. Somewhere around 220 feet down. You hook yourself up at the top and you then walk across the cliff edge to align your self just right before the descent. That was probably more scary than the rappel itself.

Here is the end of the canyon where it drops in to the "Narrows" in Zion National park.

Yeah! Wet soccer shorts is not that attractive and I had a whole lot of people below me taking shots of it. That was fun to rappel down a waterfall though. :)

OLD TIMES

I was looking through some of my scrap book stuff and found this. I thought it was pretty funny and how much we have changed. Enjoy! Kim, Larissa and Holly

Bridger and Gideon

Top is pic of Bridger right after we brought him home from hospital. Next was taken on Branding day here on teh ranch. Bridger is in the middle with his two buddies, Clancy on the right 3 days older and Trent on the left 1 day younger. Kids of my good friends Aleah and Lindsee up here in the mountains. The next is Bridger only hours old in the hospital with His brother Gideon. Bridger looks pretty big next to Gideon for a newborn. ( remember 10 lbs of baby there) Next are pictures of Gideon eating a peach on our porch at 15 months old and a picture in the spring right when he turned a year old enjoying the outdoors. Gideon and Bridger have brought us so much Joy and we have been so blessed to have them be apart of our lives.

Photography

Here are some of my favorite landscape photos. The first are down in southern Utah of a Prescribed fire done right along the border of Zion natn'l park and the resort. (Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort) The tree one is me looking through a grove near Nampa. The next is a slot canyon in southern Utah called Pick a Boo. Next is an ice drop on a tiny branch dipping into a stream at jump creek falls in Marsing. Then a sunset with mist in my parents backyard. I photo shopped the powerlines out of it and the last is the stars. I love that one.

Love has no limits

This is a picture of Joseph and I when we were engaged. It is so fun to look back on these pictures and remember so many fun memories. We look so young and so good. I love My Man!!!!

Richie Brooklynn and Michael

These pictures were so much fun to take. These were also around 4 or 5 years ago as well. Anytime anyone wants me to do fun portraits of their kids, I need the practice. It has been a while since I have been in the swing of things in the photography world.

Abigail and Bethany

I was going through my photography album and found some favorites of my Neices and nephews. The top is Baby Abigail in the hospital and the rest are of Bethany, my sister Rachel's daughters. They are so cute.

Rock Climbing

I love rock climbing and hopefully will do it more in the future. This is down in St. George Utah at green valley gap or something like that. This is when I worked in Southern Utah at Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort. We were always going and playing in slot canyons, repelling and hiking. It was a lot of fun being down there and I am so grateful for that experience.
