Sharp Family Pictures

Wow, we have been busy the last few weeks!! We had our big Sharp Family reunion the first weekend in August, so we took the opportunity of having most of us together to take our family pictures. My friend Becky met us at the park before the reunion and helped me take pictures of all of us (that way I didn't have to run into position). Thanks Becky!!
We are missing Brycen (Blake's oldest son) and Tyler.

Thanks Kelsie for getting all of the adults to smile. It was tough work, but someone had to do it.

Grandkids

US! A little off balance, but that isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Stay tuned for pictures of ALL the Sharps that came to the reunion. We hadn't been together since grandma died, which was when Jerika was about 3 or 4, so roughly 10 years ago.

Girls camp

I just got a new calling as Personal Progress Specialist in the young womens. I had my calling about 2 weeks when they asked if I was going to girls camp. Most of you know how I love the outdoors, which is not at all. So, I asked them what they were doing the first day and they said hiking and the I asked what they were doing the second day and they said canoeing. Not wanting to seem like a really bad sport, I asked what they were doing the third day and they said crafts. So, I said I would go the third day. I actually went up the second night and stayed 2 nights. It was really fun to be there with Jerika and it really wasn't that bad sleeping in a tent.

This was me and two of the other leaders, Joceylyn Kam and Suzette Gee, they were amazing!!

This is all of the leaders and all of the girls, minus a couple who had to leave the night before.

Jerika and I with our matching shirts. The theme was Seeking Our Savior. Thank goodness for headgear we were looking pretty scarey, okay I was scarey, Jerika looked good and she had been there much longer than I.

Jerika and her friends spent most of their spare time down by the river, at least we never had to look for them, they were always in the same spot.

Helping with lunch, which I might add was amazing and so were the dinners!! We had lasagna one night and dutch oven chicken and potatoes the next night. It was a really fun time had by all and all the girls in the ward are amazing troopers.

Soooooooooo cute!!!

Melissa's neices and nephews were so cute!! They all danced their little dance and then they danced with Melissa & James.

Then they all got treats from the treat table which was also cute.

The Cake

My first wedding.......

My amazing friend Melissa just got married and wanted me to take her pictures for her. Well she had more faith in me than I did, so I told her to hire another photographer. Anyway, after the "real" photographer left, I got to take the fun pictures. Here are a few of the 535 that I took and can't wait to scrapbook with you Melissa.

Silly Bride, we have the same sick sense of humor!!

Mr. & Mrs. James Ward

My cute niece!!

My neice gave me the pleasure of taking her Sr. pictures while she was here for two weeks. Here are just a few out of the 1,000 pictures we took. These aren't her favorites, but personally some of my own. I can't believe my brother is old enough to have a senior, he must be really old. Thanks Ash, it was a lot of fun!!

I was trying to think the other day what I should call my little photograph business and I came up with "Just Shoot Me" photography. I thought it was pretty catchy, even if I do say so myself. Anyway, if you need pictures done for anything, call me or email me.
None of these photos are photoshopped, which I think makes them look even better, once again just my opinion.

A few more.....

My babies are getting so big!!

And.....it seems as if I might need to get a life. I am sure blogging a lot lately. I think that is because I have been taking a lot of pictures the last few months. However, people are going to thank me someday because I took a lot of pictures. Say what you want and complain about me taking pictures, but mark my word, you WILL thank me. All that aside, here are some pictures of my girls. These were all taken within 2 blocks of our house. We didn't have to go too far for great backgrounds. Aren't they cute?

Feeding the "Fish"?

After we left Greg & Tiff, we thought it would be fun to go to Big Springs and feed the fish. Well, to our surprise, there were no fish, you fee the seagulls instead. Which the girls liked just the same, so it didn't really matter to them.

Then we went to Macks Inn and they waded in the very cold water there. All in all it was a really fun day and it is amazing the fun and beautiful places we have to go right in our own "back yard".

RELIEF!! I found them.

Okay, so these are some of pictures I thought were lost, I did download them onto my other computer. I would still like some ideas about where to save all the pictures I take.



This was our afternoon in Island Park with the Stoddards. The kids had a blast riding the 4 wheelers.

This is Tiff the mighty hunter. Okay, it is just a bbgun, but she was a pretty good shot.

Greg put all the kids but 2 onto the 4 wheeler and took them for a ride, he is a very brave man. Look at the amazing view and all the trees, it was beautiful up there.

Tiff & Cort

FREAKING OUT!!!

So I am unable to locate some of my pictures from the 4th of July and I have just reformatted my memory card, so they are gone. I thought I had downloaded all of them and boy was I mistaken. I am hoping I actually downloaded them on my other computer. I guess that is what I get for being too hasty and deleting my memory card. Does anyone have any good ideas about where to save their pictures other than discs? KaReena had saved hers to an external hard drive and it crashed. I do have some saved online, but my picasa web album is full. Let me know all your great ideas. Thanks!!

July 4th - morning & night

I don't know when I will figure it out, but my pictures always load in opposite order. Does that make sense, this should be the last picture. Anyway, on the 4th we went to Ashton for the parade with my mom & dad, Nakia's family and Allisa's family and then we headed to Island Park to hang out with Greg & Tiff's family (I will post pictures of Island Park later). After Island Park, we went to Terry and DeAnn's house to watch the Rexburg fireworks. Yes, my face was sunburned and yes I did have racoon eyes.
