Family Pics

One of the best parts about being a stay at home mom is that I have lots of time to learn new hobbies.  My newest project is photography.  I really want to learn how to take amazing pictures.  I took a one day class at Dixie State to learn the basics about my camera and photography.  For my birthday this year Dillon bought me an awesome new lens for our camera and other equipment like a tripod.  Over the Christmas holiday our family was all together so I took some family pictures of everyone.  It was my first attempt at taking pictures like these, but I think some of them turned out all right.  I need to figure out how to take pictures outside in direct sunlight.  I couldn't seem to figure it out  Either everyone was in shadows or they were staring straight into the sun.  The blinding reflection from the snow didn't help either.  I guess that's why I'm just going to have to practice, practice, practice!

There's a Moose in this Hoose

This was an amazing Christmas, probably the best I can remember.  I loved spending time with family, and it was so special to be able to spend the holiday with Autumn.  She is the best gift we could have received this year.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from the last few days.

Laundry Day

Our Weekend in Pictures

A surprise visit from Grandpa, skyping with Grandmas, playing as a family by the Christmas tree, and of course obsessing over the new camera lens that Dillon bought me for my birthday...life can't get much better.

p.s. come visit us in St. George (you know you want to, Krystin Jo)!
