Love this picture of Andrea!

The girls

This was so funny because Evaly had no idea that her umbrella had turned inside out because of the wind. She just kept shooting! She was really not used to this kind of weather!

Photo Contest at Main Street Pizza!

The winning shot of the week! Congratulations Andrea!

The morning after - beautiful blue skies! What the heck?!

Every time we do a new round of hiring, we put on a photography "boot camp" for the girls to do some crash course training on all aspects of photography. This was our second attempt at it. We headed up to Midway and stayed in our timeshare for the week so we could really focus on photography without any distractions. I think it went really great! All of the girls are newly hired except Evaly who has been with us for a while but lives in California, so we wanted her to be involved in this boot camp. They all did so awesome with their shoots. We had some absolutely crazy weather up there - we didn't see the sun all week, until the Friday morning when we were packing up to leave, it was a beautiful sunny day without a cloud in the sky! I guess we should have waited one more week to do it! Oh well, it was so much fun!

33 Weeks!!! Less than 50 days to go!

32 Weeks...ouch....

Check out our red trees! There was snow on them this morning.

Hinckley Kids

Sweet Baby Layton Look at those cheeks! Hyrum Kayli girl Little model Carter Don't you love his hair! Awwww I love this one of Dawson and Carter! Cheeeeeeese! I got to take pictures of my darling nephews and niece at home in my mom and dad's yard. Aren't they the cutest! Dawson got his little finger stuck on a prickly bush before we could get a single picture of him :( We also didn't have time to do a family shot of Nathan's family, so we just got the kids together.

My brother Derek just found out that a video of one of his songs is in a contest on cmt.com! They didn't tell him for a week about it, so there are only 8 HOURS left to vote!

Halloween

We didn't plan any costumes for Halloween since we were gonna be in Tennessee, so we went through some of my parents' costumes and threw something on for the night. We took some of the kids over to my Grandma's neighborhood for trick or treating and got to see a lot of my cousins and their kids.

Dixie Stampede

I've been wanting to go to the Dixie Stampede with Todd since we got married so we finally did it while we were at home. It's a fun dinner show where you get your own whole chicken and you eat everything with your hands. It was the Christmas show and it really got me excited for Christmas time! We went with mom and dad and we took Kayli and Hyrum. They were so cute the whole time and loved watching the horses, ostriches and pigs. All the kids just loved jumping all over Todd!
