Our Story

My site is just about showing off my cute kids. We are a big family and we like to go places. Also, I like to take lots of pictures and this way I can show them off.

This is when it all started...2002

Our family went to Moore Idaho where Kirk's mom and dad live. Kirk had planned a deer hunting trip with the boys and so we all went. The girls and I enjoyed relaxing and being in a beautiful quiet place.


We saw this moose almost everyday!


The kids played in the Big Lost River catching hundreds of fish with their bare hands. Kirk and Maggie found a place to read.

Here's a fish Ally caught. They would catch them and throw em back in.


This creek looks nice and calm. It's not too far from the house. It's on Grandma and Grandpa's property, but don't let the calmness fool you. Jaiden and Ally have a different tale to tell. They were having fun just looking for fish and walking in the water when out of no where, four racoons came out of the bushes and started hissing at them. Ally and Jaiden were so scared they took off running and those little rascals chased after them. Ally didn't have time to grab her shoes so the poor thing ran through the weeds and rocks to get away from the racoons. It was really scarey for them and a day they won't forget.


Bridger shot his very first deer. He had to skin it and everything else, all by himself. Kirk and the boys went elk hunting this weekend so I guess it wasn't gross enough to keep him from trying again.

Jaiden and Ally were making friends with the cows. I snapped a few pictures of them with the herd of cows in the background




One or our favorite things to do is to take a ride on the hogs (four-wheelers). Here's a cute picture of Ally and Magz.


Marshall loves it too!


I was up every morning to capture the great light that a sunrise creates. What a beautiful place!

Halloween is almost here and the kids were really into decorating this year. I still have a lot of decorations from several years ago. Jaiden wanted to decide where they would go. It was fun for me to see them so excited about it.






Here is my pumpkin mice house!

Bullfrog Fall Photo Shoot plus

I had another opportunity to go out on the fall 2008 Bullfrog Spa photo shoot. We had an awesome time and they are going to use a lot of my pictures for national and international advertising plus our Bullfrog catalog. Some pictures may appear on our website. I was pleased with the amount of pictures that turned out. They chose 84 pictures that they will pick from. These are a select few of those. As always, I learned a lot from this experience. I feel like it's the only way to get better. I still have so much to learn.















Hannah and Jaiden make masks




Marshall doesn't need a mask in this picture... What's with the hair!!!
