Photo Dump

Now that I have figured out how to download my photos from my phone, you all have a bunch of photos coming. Here are a few now and there will be many many more to come. After all, I am kind of addicted to taking photographs.

Here is Matthew - or should I say Rico Suave.

M.K.D., K.B, and K.D. -- three of my favorite girls from our last ward in Virginia. They all go to BYU now and I went down there to meet them for lunch. It was so much fun to catch up. Hopefully I can go down again soon. I loved seeing them and I am sure they are always up for a free lunch out. :)

My Renaissance-boy son. He loves to sew and thanks to Grandma Linda's enormous task of making what seems like a zillion school kits for the humanitarian center, he gets to do it as much as he wants.

BCS Baby. That is all I have to say! I am sorry that BYU had to fall so hard in order for the UTES to have an undefeated season. Wait...no I'm not sorry! What am I saying! It is a happy day in the Lewis household. Here are some phone pics (thus the poor quality) from the game. Matt and I were on the very top row and they were awesome seats. We had a great view of the field and no one kneeing us in the head.

Me and Matt at the game. Look long and hard at this picture. It is one of the very few ever taken of me. (At least post-kids. Why do you think I am a photographer -- so I don't have to be IN the pictures.)

What a great view of the valley we had from the top row!

My friend Matt T. Now I call that team spirit! ...much more appropriate than painting your whole body red and running around shirtless.

The throngs of fans rushing the field. They took down the goalposts with 20 seconds left in the game because they were so worried about them.

This is why.

This is why I haven't posted for a while. I am hosting a Holiday Gift Show at my house and it will be so Great! My friend Stephanie and I have co-hosted for a few years now and every year it gets better. Anyone is invited so come and bring your family and friends. Here is a hint though...if you want a fresh wreath or topiary you had better get here early. They go fast! I hope to see all of my local friends there.

P.S. If you are a blogger and post this on your blog, send me the link and I will have a special treat for you at the show.

I enjoyed this one...

I just saw this on my friend Andrea's blog and it made me smile. Even though I am boycotting all Christmas things until after Thanksgiving. I always love Gap ads and it makes me want to shop there. Oh yeah...that is what they are supposed to do. I guess that is why those ad execs get paid the big money.

pics of cute kids (not mine -- my kids I mean)

I had the pleasure of photographing my cute neice and nephew yesterday. They are ages 1 and almost 3. Baby C. gave me a run for my money but thank heavens for digital cameras. I can take hundreds and get a handful of really good ones. Here are a few. (Anne these are for you.)

Baby C. in her puffy shirt and looking gorgeous!

Isn't he handsome. This is one of the times where he is sitting still or not pulling a funny face. He is sitting in the chair "like Jake does". He loves doing anything that the cousins do. Including sitting on his chair backwards. To his Primary and school teachers - I'm sorry.

I promised him that I would take a picture of his pumpkin and this is it.

We are Ute fans!

Look at this cool new accessory we have at our house! Isn't it cool? My neice had to start a business for one of her classes and this is the business -- painting a "U" or a "Y" on your driveway. Clever! Luckily it is a year when both teams are doing well and people aren't embarrassed to have one of these on their driveway. Ours is semi-permanent paint but they have permanent also.

A Little Hike and Homecoming

This Weekend is Fall break so since the kids weren't in school Thursday Matt took off work and we went for a little hike. We chose to go to Lake Mary because it wasn't too far. Something too ambitious would be disastrous for our whiners -- Oh I mean kids. It turned out to be a great time and further reminded me why I love living so close to the mountains. Here are some pictures we took on our hike.








Olympus High School's homecoming game was a couple of weeks ago. The team isn't doing so well this year but they won this game. It was fun for the kids to go and see their friends and I love the feeling of night games in the autumn. The view of the sunset from the stands at Olympus is always so pretty. Go Titans!
