Did a photo shoot. Yip! Seem’s I might be back in business. That was one of the hardest part about moving. I was getting so busy. So loving it. I was able to do a photo shoot in Alpine. It was so fun. What a great kid. You can see him
We had a crazy busy Memorial Weekend. We Drove to Idaho. Spent the night and then drove to Island Park to clean the cabin so we can get it listed. :{ I haven't cleaned like that for awhile. Worked my buns off. I am having a hard time letting go of my homes in IF! Yea, to the point…………. I had the biggest melt down ever…..poor JP. But it is right….just not easy.
There are days that I feel like I died. Just moved away and died. Like I moved to a different planet. Each month I was going over on our phone bill….like $400.00ish (I have a 2000 minute plan) . Now I am lucky if I make 700 minutes. If my phone rings I jump for joy. Please don’t forget me. Like I said….right….just not easy.
Ok the reason I am explaining mywhining is because I went with my parents to the cemetery on Memorial Day and my dad showed me some graves. They lived across the road from us growing up. They lost 5 0r 6 kids, all age 0 to 3 and only had one surviving child. I stood there and looked at those tiny graves. I was humbled. I don’t think I could handle that trial. So I will take my struggles and smile.
We went to Iona first. JP’s Dad is buried there. My Uncle’s and Aunt’s are there. It was a horribly cold day, but I was grateful that I could show my loved ones how much I love and appreciate them.
The fish Grandma put on Grandpa’s grave.
My Uncle Bill and Aunt Pat. (he is my mom’s brother)
Aunt ZoAnn, Dianne, Me and my Mom.

Hung out with my hubby.
Went to lunch with Ryan and Syd
When I got back to Utah, Stacy and I made some cute books for all of her kids at school. They turned out so cute.
OH AND DID I TELL YOU THAT I AM A GRADUATE OF NEW YORK INSTIUTE OF PHOTOGRAHY? OH YEA BABY. I PASSED AND I AM ONE HAPPY GIRL!
We have been looking all over the valley for a house. We are pretty picky. There is several thing we will not go without when it comes to a home…..but the #1 thing I will NOT go without is a RHUBARB PLANT. Oh I love the stuff and I love to freeze it so I can use it all winter. I picked 3 huge bags……………….
And yesterday I hung out with Cole. She is doing so good since she has cut out gluten. She feels better and has so much energy. It’s great. She is so stinkin cute.
I love my family and I am so grateful for them. I cherish each and every moment.

Ok first of all what is up with my buddy Nicole? When did she become a super model?! Seriously she is gorgeous!!! While the rest of us approach the ten year reunion having aged a decade Cole looks better than ever! She's always been pretty, but wow... I need her secret! Maybe I'll cut out Gluten LOL! Congrats graduate! So proud of you! Keep us posted on the house hunt. You made me crave rhubarb pie, my absolute favorite! Beautiful memorial day pics of your loved one headstones. Hugs Mama!
Congratulations on graduating! So exciting! I love all those pictures of the headstones on Memorial Day. It's a neat experience to be able to go visit our loved ones who have left this life. Sure do love you, Judy! :)
I read Shan's comment and totally agree- Cole is GORGEOUS! :) So is Stace! You've got a great family! I know how hard it can be to move and feel a million miles away from everything you love! Keep making the best of it... it's the little things like rhubarb that make life so great! ♥
LOL!! What the heck do you and JP have in your mouth? And.....Hmmmm.......looks like JP is the grouchy one. His smile is upside down. ; D
I did not know Cole was having issue with her health. That is SO good to know that she has finally got some answers. My sister also as done SO much better since going gluten free. She eats like a celiac. So it's helping a lot!
Also I must say I am SO proud of YOU with your photography. You went and followed a dream, worked hard and crossed the finished line! YAY!
I just KNOW you will do so well with your business there. And I know one day you will feel SO at home there, just like you did in ID. I know.....right.....but not easy. ; D
Love ya!
P.S. I just have to say one more thing.......I truly love this "Memorial Day" that you all got going on there. So cool. I enjoyed the pictures of your memorial day in remembering those passed on.
Looks like you had a fun time in Idaho. Loved the pictures. WAY TO GO GRADUATE!!!! I want to hire you in JUly to take our family photo when all our kids are home. If you're ever in American Fork around lunch time call me - we'll do lunch.
Love You,
Sandy
