Campbell Bridals!!

I went down to Vegas this weekend for Courtney's bridal shower! We had so much fun and had a good turn out! The wedding is just two weeks ago! I can't believe how fast it went by. We went out early this morning and took a few bridal shots. She has a gal who is going to photograph the wedding day at the temple so she just wanted a few at a different location. 

The sun was SO bright this morning! I was getting so worried that all the pictures would have the "squinty-eye" look! But we came out with a few good ones!! I still need to learn what the best time of day would be to go out and take pictures!! I have no clue what I am doing!! 

90th birthday bash!!

We went up north Saturday to celebrate Grandma Prices 90th birthday! What a great celebration! She is a tremendous woman and I feel SO blessed to know her. She has such a sweet spirit!! Here is just a few pictures from the party!  

Bert Price!

Rob and cousin Ashley

My mother in law and her mother!! Aren't they so so cute!!

Father in law! I think we only have one other picture with him, so this is a treasure to us!

I still can't get over just how much Rob and his mom look alike! She is such a great woman!

He'll always be her baby boy!!

I love when we are able to go up and spend time with Rob's family. The are great people and care for us so much! We are both so grateful for them in our lives. Because of them, Rob and I have been blessed beyond belief. 

Just for you Heidi Pimp Shiz!!

This post is dedicated to me dear cousin who has been asking for pictures of our home! I have been putting it off because I haven't unpacked everything and decorated much but you can just use your imagination! 

Ok! Front view and the garage is on the right side (unfinished decoration on the front, there will be shutters, plants/flowers, etc.)

Kitchen

The living area is to the left of this picture....

through the arch way is two bedrooms and a guest bath and to the right is a laundry room and master and garage.

Kitchen again!

Ok Heidi, thats about the best I can do for now!! Guess you will just have to come visit me!!

..........................................................

We are so thankful to be in this beautiful home and we know it has been a blessing from the Savior! Rob and I have been having a FANTASTIC year and getting into this home 2 days before the first time homebuyers tax credit is nothing short of a miracle! 

I love love being an aunt!!

Ryan and Katie came into town with my mom this weekend for a family baptism and homecoming! I love being able to see them as much as I can! I wish that I lived closer to them so I could watch my little niece grow up!! She isn't looking like a baby anymore!! I gave her her very first haircut... no more 4 inch mullet!!! 

We took a few pictures before they left today! She is just such a doll! 

First toddler photos!

My best friend has been in town visiting me for a few days and I thought it would be fun to take some pictures of her handsome little man!! 

I found out quickly that kids weren't as easy as grown-ups! But we had a blast and ended up with some great and fun pictures that captured this little guys personality! 

The picture below is my favorite!! 

I am loving learning new things on the camera! I know that I am no pro... but it is something I really do enjoy! So if anyone out there needs pictures, I need practice!! 

Truly Blessed..

"I thank the Lord for any given day..."

Every Sunday after I wake up, I go to the computer and turn on my pandora.com radio!! I type in "Hilary Weeks" so that pandora will search for her music and others like it.. Well today is just like any other! I sang my little heart out this morning while listening to the spiritual music while getting ready for church! Sometimes I just sit in this room and listen to every beautiful word. I am humbled every Sunday while I keep at this tradition! Music is such a powerful tool in my life. I find it impossible to sit here, listening to this music, thinking of anything but that sacrifice that was made in order for me to live today. 

My life is so very blessed. I have a mother who is selfless in every way and a father who has an attitude on life that I have always admired. An older brother who is so honest and who has been right there for me whenever I needed him. A sister in law with such a great desire to do and learn more. My baby sister who has been the great reminder I have needed to remember to never judge another and to always believe in others when they may seem lost. And my pride and joy little brother who I admire in every way. He will change lives someday with the unique spirit he has always carried. 

The lord let me travel down one rocky road to figure out who I really was. At times I doubted his love for me because I thought he was taking away everything I ever loved. I could have never been more wrong. So many amazing people came into my life and influenced me for the better. But just when I thought I had lost everything, my wonderful husband showed up and showed me everything I never knew I was looking for. The Lord does has a plan for each of us and I am so grateful he is trusting Robbie and I to build an eternal family. 

And I could not be more blessed than to have the friends that I do. Growing up, my parents always tried to teach me that friendships would change and that if you only had a small handful of true friends then your life would be blessed. I can honestly say they were right. My life is better because of those friends in my life, and I hope they know who they are. 

Sorry if this post was a bit to personal, but today I am so grateful for my life and every blessing I have. My savior is near and I know I am loved and protected. The greatest gift I have ever received is the gift of the gospel that I live. The power and light of its truth has brought immense joy into my life. I want my friends and family, and all of you, to know that I believe with all of my heart that the church is true and that because of the sacrifice that was made for each of us, we will one day return to live with our Savior. And nothing else in the world will matter, nothing will make us think any less of others, all that we once worried about will all seem so small, there will be unconditional love around us... and I look forward to that day. 

Engagement session!

My beautiful sister and Tyler asked me to take their engagement pictures for them! I was so honored and excited!! I search photography websites often just because I love pictures! I hope to become as talented as many gals I have seen! I don't have an editing program or anything so these pictures are just pretty basic but I still love them! We took tons, but I decided just to show a few of my favorites! 

(the picture below needs to be in a magazine.. these two are so in love and I just think this picture shows how happy they are to be right were they are in their life!)

(I wanted to get a fun/different shot to show her ring, and I really really liked how this one turned out!!)

..the picture below was one of my favorites of this gorgeous couple!!..

..and the last one I have just always loved those types of pictures and I thought Court's jeans looked cool against that wall!..

Those of you that don't know my sister and Tyler, you are truly missing out! I adore every piece of them. I have never seen a love like theirs before. Any raging storm that they may face, they have overcome everything much stronger than others I know. I am so proud and happy for them both. In fact I get a choked up just typing this, but their type of love is a blessing and should be an example to many others around of an unconditional love. 

Cute fonts??

Ok! I have seen so many blogs that have SUCH cute fonts! Like on there header or for the post title? How on earth do you girls do that!!!?? I have been meaning to ask forever! If anyway could clue me in that would be AMAZING!!! I need to have a cute blog!! 

My handsome boys!

"..But as far as I can see, I've got everything I want..."

I wanted to blog about my hubby today! He just got promoted at work to a "suit and tie" guy! And I just think he looks so handsome! Rob and Burton are the best of friends so he had to be in the pictures too! (along with burtons chew toy, which just so happens to be an old bra that he loves.. so please excuse that!!)  

Robbie is such an amazing husband! He never complains and I think lately he has been doing the laundry WAY more than me!! With us both working and in school all day it can sometimes be hard to do the chores! I just want everyone to know how proud I am of my love! He is such a hard worker and deserves this promotion! 

Things have just been falling into place for us. With the house and Robbie's job, we just feel so blessed! 

Eventful Saturdays!

We had such a fun/eventful Saturday! After work we thought it would be fun to take Burton to Sand Hollow and see how he would do in the water! Byron and Katie met with us with their tiny little puppy Kadence! We had so much fun and Burt LOVED the water! Except for when little waves came toward him he would try to jump over them! And he wouldn't just walk in the water.. he would jump to get anywhere! 

Then we went to our house and had a little BBQ! And while the boys wanted to play the Xbox, Katie and I decided to make a trip to Walmart and find something "girly" to do! I'm not sure how many of you follow the MAKE-IT-AND-LOVE-IT Blog but I sure do and I have been wanting to make these little hemp balls forever! 

Katie and I would have made more but we were running out of the string so we will have to finish later!! The pictures below are backwards in order! But Enjoy! 

The start of the hemp ball....

Here are what they look like all rolled up!

And above is the finished product! Mine are the brown, green, and burgundy and the others are Katie's.

Byron and Katies little princess! 

Saying hello to the camera!

Burton playing in the water!

And that is how he got around in the water! Jumped his way anywhere! 

Running for the water! He loved it, we will have to take him more often! 

Oh and ALSO! These pictures were all taken on my NEW camera!! Which I LOVE! They are just so clear and the color looks so much better
