So much FUN!

Ok, so here are some more before and after shots, this time with people and not flowers. I had a request so here you go. I probably won't be doing this a ton more. In the future I will just be posting the afters, but enjoy the difference here. It is amazing! I LOVE THIS PICTURE! My two favorite men. How can you not love them?
She is a princess, isn't she? I just can't keep her away from those darn doors.
This handsome man wins me over every day. I just can't get enough!

New found joy...

So, recently I have gotten a new digital SLR camera along with Photoshop and have become OBSESSED with all that you can do with these two great toys! Here is an example of what I am talking about... Here is the before and after of a sunflower in my backyard. I didn't do much with this picture, just brightened it up. That is the beauty of the nice camera, the picture is already great. Photoshop just gives it a little oomph! So pretty! Here is another... it is a good picture but I thought I would have a little fun with it... I love this picture! It turned out great!

Raspberry Days

This post is a little slow coming... sorry Steve! A couple of weekends ago we got to go to Bear Lake for Raspberry Days. It was great. This is the weekend that Steve looks forward to every year in Bear Lake. (well at least for the summer time). It is the annual Diederich family reunion and we can usually plan on great weather and fun. This year didn't disappoint. We went boating with Steve's brother Daniel's family, went to the fair, saw the parade, and saw fireworks with the whole Diederich clan. It was a ton of fun! This is Reagan with McKensie and Tori, her cousins, on the boat.
Here is Steve spraying a wave on the water... He is always a kid at heart and he proved it on the water...

Jumping the wake on the wake board.
Doing a back flip on the wake board.
Reagan didn't like the life jacket too much but she was a champ about wearing it. Her cousin, Abby, had her laughing so hard it was a riot!
Steve and Reagan watching the "nah, nah's" at the parade.
More watching of the parade.

This is what Crew did while the rest of us went boating. He doesn't look too sad that he missed out, does he?
Watching fireworks... Grandma and Papa Henrie came up on Friday and Saturday to spend some time with us. It was great to have them there. Reagan would rather be with them than us any day of the week. The weather didn't disappoint. We had sunny skies with sudden short and sweet rain showers throughout the weekend. I was in heaven!

Ahhhhh....

I have just finished the best book in the Twilight Series... Yes, you heard my right... it is the BEST! I am so sad to see the series end after that fabulous book, but at the same time I am so happy it ended the way it did. I love all that happened to Bella and those around her. I couldn't have imagined a better story! Mrs. Meyer - thank you for writing such great books!
