Girls Weekend.

Tiff, Brooke, Allisa and I took a little road trip conference weekend and went to stay with Tiff's sister Tonia (who is our friend too). We had so much fun!! We went out to eat, shopped in Park City, went to a movie, shopped somemore and ate some more. We had a really good time and it was good to get away for a few days.



Lance took pictures for us and was such a good host all weekend.

So, we decided to make funny faces for this picture. By looking at us you can tell who complied to the "fun" request. Evidently Tiff thought tilting her head was really funny and I'm not sure about Brooke maybe it was her confused look, which is kind of funny. It was a really fun weekend and I think it is time for another trip!!
Thanks Lance and Tonia for letting us stay and for playing late night Family Fued.

I'm so lucky!!!!

This weekend was so very crazy, and I was kind of complaining that I was so tired and had so much to do these last 3 days. Which included today 6 hours of church meetings. Remember I am just stating, not complaining. Anyway, tonight as I sat down for a little me time, I decided to read some blogs, one of which was ironmanjace.blogspot.com. Jace is a little boy that went to daycare with the girls for a couple years. Jace is 6 and has lukemia. As I read through my tears his moms account of their journey through this horrible ordeal, I am so thankful for my kids and that they are healthy!!!



With that said, most of you who are reading this know how I am about my cameras. Yes, I said cameras, I have two. I sat down this week to review the pictures I had taken and found these on my memory card. I am 100% certain I didn't take these pictures and I for sure don't see any adults around. Well, last weekend while I was doing a "watch party" in my basement, Kinlee and cousins found my small camera (if it would have been my other camera, I wouldn't be posting about it, because it wouldn't have been cute!), and here are the results. Enjoy!!

They are a funny I must admit!! There were a few more, but they were EXTREME close ups. I guess if there are small children at my house, I need to keep a better eye on them. But, you would think my 9 year old would have figured out the rules around here and pass them onto the other kids that come to play, but I guess not.

Soccer

Kinlee played soccer this year and really liked it. Maybe it can be something that she can stick too and continue with. I sometimes wonder though if it is more of the social stuff that they like with sports. Anyway, it was fun for all of us and might be the closest thing I actually get to a child doing sports, since I don't have boys.

(Hey, who is that sexy lady in the background of this picture? The first person that can guess who it is and post a comment on this blog gets a free watch band.)

Dad even made it home to a game, believe it or not!! Good season Kinlee, you did a really good job!!

BACK TO SCHOOL!!

Here are pictures of the girls on the first day of school. I can't believe that summer went so fast. I might even have some summer stuff I didn't blog about, but I guess its too late now.

Jerika started 8th grade this year and Kinlee started 3rd grade. The both had a pretty good first day. I even got a little teary, because next year Kinlee will be in middle school and Jerika will be in high school. Time is just flying by!!

I decided this year that I am VERY glad that Jerika is still about a head taller than all the boys her age, because they would all be knocking down our door on a regular basis. (Even if I do say so myself, she is pretty cute!)

Kinlee is doing amazing in school!! She is so smart and doesn't really need much help at all with her homework.
I am just thankful that I have such amazing kids!!!!!

OOPS!!

I forgot I can only blog 4 pictures at a time if I do it from Picasa. Anyway, here's the whole family.

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.
