Becca and Ryan's "Behind the Wedding Scenes"

The  real photographer got lots of great shots of Becca and Ryan so I just stayed out of the way and took a few pictures of what was going on beyond the main event.  It is funny to see the shots you actually got when you download your camera--I discovered I took pictures of people I dared interupt, mainly our side of the family.  They already know I'm obnoxious.  "Sorry" to Ryan's people, whom I did not dare approach.  I should have tried harder to get a picture of the bride and groom together, but the picture of Bill and Becca was a beaut.  The day was beautiful and so are Becca and Ryan!






























































Jodi's Grad-yee-ation Day

Jodi did it.  Again.  She swears this is the last time she will do the formal graduation, but a friend talked her into it, and in the end I think she was glad she attended the Weber State 2012 Commencement.  And while we were in the neighborhood, she picked out her gift at the Bookstore for a great price.  Who's complaining now?
The Walk In:  "Hey Jodi, we have our tassles on the wrong side--switch quickl!"




Complete decorum and solemnity during the somber march into the auditorium.



They want to us sing the school song?  I've never heard it before.




Did you know I could sing Opera?  My sister Kellie taught me.  This song  is worse than Oh Christmas Tree.




The retiring Weber State University President:  "I just can't stay at the College knowing Jodi Black is graduating."


Speaker:  "I am impressed with the maturity and serious nature of all you graduates in attendance today. . ."



"Hey look! It's my Mom trying to take a picture of me from the other side of the arena."

"Now switch the tassel again."




People who wear the black robes are no fun.



It wasn't me. . .


Can we trust these two not to melt our bones in the radiology lab?



Proud day for Dad!



Weber Wildcats forever!



We are very proud of you Jodi!  Good luck with your new job in radiology at McKay-Dee Hospital and enjoy your summer before the MRI programs begins.


Mom:  Jodi, if you just pose for one last picture, we'll go with you to the Bookstore to look for a little graduation gift!

Favorite Days that Make Life Worth Living!

Sometimes the Lord lets you have one of those perfect days.  Four-wheeling with Jodi recently will forever be etched into my "favorite-days-in-this-life" list. Thanks Jodi!
Jodi led the way. It was hard on her to wait while I took pictures but she was a sport.


Why the perfect day?  The trail was superb. 



The water was clear.

The rocks were red.







The arch was tall.



The pines were fragrant.





The sky was blue.


The breeze was cool.

The company was extraordinary.
And the Gospel has been restored.

Amanda's Baptism

Little girls are so much fun!  Everything they feel, they wear on their faces in bright emotion.  A baptism is a special occasion and Amanda was so excited for her special day.  It was thrilling to be able to help her get some pictures to remember forever that time of her life.






Fairies in the Neighborhood !

We have some adorable little fairies in the neighborhood. I promised to help them put together a little scrapbook.  First, they said they wanted to scrapbook  making and eating brownies.  That was a brilliant plan so we did that since we were all chocoholics.  Then they went home to "dress-up" and we took a few cute shots to match their crowns, fluffy skirts, and wings.




















Natural Bridges: The Search

LeGrand and I are searching for some exceptional San Juan County pictures.  One morning when neither of us could sleep, we jumped up and beat the sun to Owachomo Bridge in Natural Bridges National Park.  We actually had to wait for 30 minutes for the light to hit our subject, but we were the only people in the park so it was an awesome wait.  Here are some of our photo attempts:
