Number 1!!

Ever since Gavin and I started dating I would go to his weekly hockey game. I have only missed 2 games, one when I was in the hospital having Kalista and then the week after. Kalista looks forward to it every week, whenever we walk by his equipment in the garage she points to it and says daddy hockey stuff!! Then she cheers for him and says Go Go Go!
I just want to say I'm very proud of Gavin, checking his stats, not including last nights game, and he's tied for number one in the league.

If anyone ever wants to come watch a game, I'd love the company. You can check the schedule online

Metcalf Family Reunion

We went up to Malad ID this past summer and stayed in a cabin up there for Gavin's family reunion. His grandpa Metcalf and aunt Tanya and her kids were all there. It was a lot of fun to be able to meet his grandpa and for Kalista to meet him as well. Here are some photo's of the family. I'm not great at editing just yet but i'm working on it.. the lighting wasn't the best under shade of a tree and there are a bunch of sunspots i'm still learning how to edit those... Gavin's sister Ralina was in labor so we all gathered around her and took some quick shots before they left to go back to SLC to have their baby girl...

Thank You Good Samaritans

My grandpa Smith had a heart attack on Wednesday this past week. He is doing well, from what I've been told. I'm so thankful to the people that helped revive him and give him more time on this earth to spend with our family. Kalista spent some time with him this summer at yellow stone and it would make me so sad to think she wouldn't be able to see him again. I love you grandpa!!
Here is a link to the KSL news story!! I was shocked to see this on the news but it is worth hearing about good things in the news..

Photography Models

I'm going to start building my photography portfolio and will need to take some pictures in order to do this. So if you want some pictures taken I'll do it for free and give you a few edited ones in exchange for your time.... I need families, teens, newborns, maternity, bridals pretty much everything so if you're willing to spend an hour or so with me in the evening I'd love to take some pictures of you. I will be in Spring Creek in October the week of the 13th and can take pictures while out there so just let me know.

Just a few pics

Kalista being silly.. she loves getting her picture taken...

Bath girl.. every time i put her in her froggy towel she looks at herself and says awww Kali cute!

She was so proud of herself for putting on mommy's swim bottoms and that hat it was too cute

Hmmmmm a bit confused but maybe it's time for the potty

Baby Kasira (gavin's sister's baby) she was blessed on Sunday..

These are just some recent pics of us. Not much to update. I'm starting to feel back to normal these days and starting to get a bit of a belly. Kali is being so cute and frustrating all at the same time but I love her to death.

Grandpa "Push"

We had the Metcalf Reunion in Idaho at a little cabin just south west of Lava Hot Springs. At the cabin there was a swing set that had a tire swing. Kalista could have lived in this swing she loved it SO MUCH. Gavin's dad and mom spent well over an hour pushing her and now whenever she talks about Grandpa or Grandma she says Push Push... It's cute so now they are known ans Grandpa and Grandma Push ha.

Yellow Stone

We had a Smith Family Reunion in Yellow Stone this summer. It was SO pretty up there.

Time Out

These picturs are old but I wanted to post them anyway.. a few months ago we started giving Kali Time Outs and she Loves them haha.. Olivia, the little girl I nanny, has had them for a while now since she's a bit older than kali and kali always runs over and wants a timeout too haha It's so funny. Here area a few pictures of the two girls playing around.
