The Wendover Air Show

We went to the Wendover Air show this weekend. Here are my Dad, Lee and Lee's friend Geoff. They rode their bikes down, while my Mom and I rode down in the nice air conditioned car.

We saw some really cool planes and lots of different models.

There was also an auto show going on, and we saw lots of cool cars as well.

I loved this one. The replica trailer was so cute!

We had such a fun day and we ended it with a bit of luck. Lee ran out of gas as he was exiting the freeway to go to the gas station and was literally coasting in. The timing couldn't have been better! Geoff almost ran out too and barely made it himself.

Am I blind?

This is what happens when you hit a UPS truck. Ya, you read that right. It was parked and I backed right into it! I have no idea how I didn't see a big brown truck parked there. In my defense, it was a narrow parking lot and the truck was sticking out past the parking stall.

Krazy Kota

One of Kota's favorite toys is Syd's old Christmas collar. He is always getting it stuck around his body and he'll run around with it looking like a sash. It's so cute! I just love my little Peanut!

The Marsing Kids

I took pictures of my friends kids. They are the cutest kids and I had such a great time doing their pictures. You can view more on my photography blog here.

It tastes like Chicken!

Kota has gotten into the bad habit of eating grasshoppers. It's so gross! There are so many times where I have to chase him to get him to drop it before he comes into the house.

Family Pictures 2009

My Dad and my sister Lindsay took our family pictures for us. They both did an amazing job and I'm happy with how they turned out. These are my favorites...

Four Wheelin Fun!

We took the jeeps up the canyon yesterday. We had such a great time. I love taking those drives. Your hair gets all tangled and you get so dusty from the trail, and it makes for a great day! We went up through AF Canyon and dropped down into Midway. We stopped for lunch and enjoyed everyone's company. There weren't to many leaves changing color yet, so we'll have to go back up there again!

photoshop fun

I was bored so I decided to play around with photoshop. This is what I came up with. I thought it looked really neat.

Things I am Thankful for

I have been really frustrated and disappointed over our adoption situation. It's a hard trial to go through, but I realize that the Lord has a plan for me and I need to be patient while he puts that plan in place. That is definitely easier said than done, but I need to stay positive and remember all the blessings I have and not focus on what I don't have. With that being said, here is a list of some things I am thankful for.

1. My husband ~ He is the best partner I could ever ask for. He is so supportive of my dreams and strives to make them all come true.

2. My parents ~ They are the best parents in the world!

3. My sisters ~ I have a great relationship with them and I love them so much!

4. My brother-in-laws ~ I never had brothers growing up, and I'm so thankful to now have brothers who love me and watch out for me.

5. My sister-in-laws ~ They have accepted me like a real sister into their family.

6. All of my nieces and nephews ~ I love watching them grow up and being a part of their lives. I wish more of them lived closer.

7. My friends ~ I have wonderful friends. We may not see each other a lot, but I love how we can pick up where we left off when we do see each other.

8. The Gospel ~ I'm so thankful for the gospel in my life and the blessings it brings to my life.

9. My dogs ~ Since we don't have kids, they have filled that void in our lives. Even though Kota still has accidents and Syd shreds our bedspreads, I love them so much. I also love and miss Maggie every day and am so thankful for the time I did have with her.

10. My job ~ Even though it's hard to get out of bed and go to work sometimes, I am grateful to have my job.

11. Lee's Education ~ Who knew that Lee losing his job would be a good thing? He is enjoying school so much, and we will have a better future because of it.

12. My Grandparents ~ I am so thankful to be able to have a good relationship with my Grandparents. I love them so much and it will be hard to see them go.

13. My health ~ Working in a hospital, I see so many people less fortunate than myself with health issues. I am thankful I am healthy and able to do so many things.

14. Utah ~ I love the fact that I was born and raised in such a beautiful place. I love the mountains and the many other beautiful places around the state.

I could go on and on about all the things I am thankful for but that would take days. I am so fortunate in my life to have so many blessings and to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.
