Happy Birthday Will

Yesterday was my nephew, Will's, birthday. He turned 4.

Will had a Diego themed party -- the coolest cartoon for the youngsters. If any of you have kids of your own (or if you're an aunt or uncle) you know all about Diego and Dora. Will has been into Diego ever since last year when he got some new Diego shoes that he claimed made him run really fast.

These kids were hilarious and quite the handful! My favorite game was reindeer, reindeer, elf (aka duck, duck goose) because the kids didn't quite catch the concept of how to play. Moms were on the sidelines coaching them when to run and sit. They had a blast chasing each other!

When Will opened his presents, he was the most gracious boy ever! He would say things like 'I've always wanted.....' and 'This is always my favorite...' and he was so enthusiastic with each gift opening, and even read the cards that came with each present. What a good boy!

Happy Birthday, Will! I love you :)

Zydaan + Spiderman

Today was awesome! It made me want to be a kid again...

I photographed Zydaan's 5-year birthday party. He had tons of cool friends, snow cones, a pinata, and Spiderman came! Spiderman gave everyone a quick superhero training course and had the kids do push-ups, sit-ups, and jumping jacks with him. Then he gave them a ride on his 'web' rope. Spiderman did magic tricks which enthralled everyone and then he made everyone a balloon sword or butterfly.

Happy Birthday Zydaan! Here's a SLIDESHOW with more images from your fun day.

Birthday Bash, Riveting Ranch

Saturday evening, I had two fun activities to attend -- my friends birthday bbq and a party at a ranch.

It's always fun to see old friends and have an excuse to see each other. It seems like there isn't enough time these days to always see each other or keep in touch as much as we'd like. So, we find excuses to get the gang together, and birthdays are one of these excellent plans ;) Happy Birthday to Jessica, April, and Mendy! Thanks for being such awesome friends to me. I love you guys!

P.S. The beautiful girl in most of these pictures is Namda (hope I spelled it right). She is half Tibetan and is simply adorable! Every time I see her, she is more and more darling.










































Unfortunately, I had to leave the birthday party early...but I went to this awesome Young Single Adult Party up at a Ranch in Brown's Canyon (close to Kamas, UT). It was such a beautiful evening. A big crowd went outside for some skeet shooting and then I went down into the fields to take some pictures of their horses. Horses are magnificent creatures and it was exciting to walk up close to them. Here are some of my favorites from the evening. Thanks to the Roger's for sharing their Ranch with us!
