...The New Hobby...
But back to what I originally was talking about, the pumpkin patch... Everyday I pass by it, the setting sun starts to shine through the trees by it and there are always a ton of kids running around picking out their pumpkin... To me it looked like the perfect picture of Fall... thus my new hobby: photography... I've decided that I am going to start taking a picture a day for 100 days while reading up on photogrpahy techniques so that I can thus have a new hobby/talent... hopefully by the end of it I will have that talent and a pretty tight portfolio! I've always wanted to be the mom who can take awesome action shots of her kids when they are doing their thing, be it sports or dance or just sleeping, so I think I need to learn now, so when they finally get here I'll be ready to document their lives in a really unique way! With all of that said, I created a new blog just for the pictures.... it's http://digitalcameradiary.blogspot.com/ and I'll post a picture that I have taken every day for 100 days (maybe more if I feel like it)... I plan on actually stopping by the said pumpkin patch today and take that piture of fall and post it tonight! Wish me luck!

...In The Valley...


















Once we left the Provo temple we went to go get me a BYU t-shirt so I could go to the BYU v Utah State football game... Pretty much I'm, free of chrage, coming up with better cheers for the cougars... They can thank me later... I made Aaron take a picture of me tomahawking the BYU cougar statue since we pretty muched owned them on their field AND Elder Perkins, an elder serving in my ward right now, didn't believe me that if he game me his family's phone number that I'd meet up with them.... well I did! They had some awesome seats at the game... They are the tightest family I know! I'm really glad I got to meet them... Perkins was super trunky after he saw the pictures... I loved talking to his mom and I think she enjoyed getting to tlak ot someone new about her son :) After BYU stomped Utah State, Aaron and I went to go see my friend Hayden Liljenquist.... We all started watching a movie at his house and next thing I know I'm being woken up because I guess I dosed off.... Aaron took me home so I could sleep and get ready for conference the next morning... I'll be sure to post about the rest of the trip in the next blog....

...A Girl's Weekend...
Saturday we went to the Brogan Museum in downtown and got to play around there and made play dough and got to do experiments on electricity... After the museum we ate at Chick-fil-a and the girls got to play on the playground... That night we ate at Sonny's (ummmm how I love Sonny's!) and went to go see the movie, Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs.... it was decent... hopefully my kids won't drag me to see movies like that though (knock on wood)...
Basically Makai and Rayden, who were sisters, Payton was their cousin, reminded me of Lindsey and I.... Makai loves to sing and is full of random knowledge... She knows EVERYTHING! while Rayden was the life of the party... She was always causing playful mischief and was always into how she looked.... I'll let ya'll figure out which one was me and which is Lindsey, but I think its obvious!
Tiara got a lot of pictures with her camera so I'll have to post some of them later but here is one of me and Payton with her butterfly

..."Real" Adult...
Basically, life is full of hindsight... I mean take today for instance... I became a "real adult..." what makes you a real adult you might ask? Well according to this almost 20 year old, its when you have to pick out your health benefits and doctors that YOU are now paying for and then you realize that you also get life insurance just in case you croak and you have to pick people who get your money... INSANE! but today I had the hindsight of wishing that I was force to take a class on becoming an adult once a year in high school instead of gym once a semester... Hindsight.... but then I just realized... maybe becoming an adult is when you have to tough it out through these life decisions that you have no clue how to make... that's what really makes you a real adult... if not you would be skating by and kind of living life too easy... I don't want that either... So here I am... an real adult who now needs to rethink what time really means to her and the things that she should really be doing with it.... so far three things are on this list: 1. Serve the Lord more... 2. Spend more time with my loved ones... 3. Be a positive impact im more peoples lives....
Ready? Lets get started!
