Winter in Star Valley

Winter in Star Valley is very beautiful but very cold!! These are some pictures I took of views around our house.

The pine tree branches are covered so heavily by snow that they are very close to the ground!

This is a huge icicle that hangs off the south side of the house.

Photography

Lately, I've been obsessed with taking photos of people and things. Here are a few of my favorites:


Here's another one of our yard.

Girls Camp

Hello everyone!! As you know, Girls Camp is a fun and exciting part of the summer. This year our Young Womens Group went to Bear Lake to stay in one big cabin. It was awesome! The Cabin was nice and big! It almost didn't feel like Girls Camp!! Here are some pictures of the fun occasion.

Girl's Weekend

Hey everyone!! I know it has been a long time since I've blogged last! Not much has been going on lately so I haven't posted anything. I decided to blog about my fun Girls Weekend last week. Me, Cubby, mom, Jess, Sara, and Lauren all traveled down to Salt Lake where we stayed in a Hotel and had a fun Friday night, Saturday, and a good Sunday morning together. On Jess's blog she posted some of the pictures we took during the weekend and here are some more we all took!

Christmas/Thanksgiving Memories

Here are a few Christmas and Thanksgiving pictures that I took over the break. Most of them are of Tyson though! I hope all of you guys had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you all have a happy new year!!

Here are some from Thanksgiving:

Grandpa Maxwell's big birthday bash

My grandpa Maxwell turned 80 years old on September 20th, and so to celebrate, grandma Maxwell threw a big party! It was quite the occasion since around 100 people came to see him on his big day! There were pictures everywhere of grandpa, and many different pieces of art that he had made were in one corner. Grandpa used to be quite the artist. Pictures were taken of grandpa, family and friends. Once again here are some pictures that were taken of the big event.
