Photoshoot: Richard's Kids

Saturday (Oct 15), after Collin's football game, we went to the canyon and took pictures of the kiddies. It was such a beautiful day! The weather and colors were absolutely perfect for pictures and general enjoyment of the lovely time of year. Here are my faves:
Collin:
Elise:
Andrew:
Marcus:
A few others that I liked, of the changing leaves:


To end it all, I told the kids I would zombify their pictures for Halloween. Here's the result (I used Picnik to zombify the pictures):

Of course, me:

Collin's Football Game

As I mentioned previously, Saturday, Eric and I went to Collin's football game. It was fun to watch him play as he learns the game.

I love football! I mostly don't care who is playing as long as it's a good game. Of course we like the NE Patriots - as the NFL goes, anyway. College: Eric and I are split. I love the Utes he loves the Cougars. (Go Utes!)

Collin's team did not win the game and it was sad to watch the little fallen faces as they slunk off the field. I reminded Collin that he's still learning the game and that all the great players started exactly where he is now.

Collin has such a tender heart and always has. He's not a bully or a hitter, so it's a tough change for him to get out there and stand his ground and even hit to a tackle.



Go Wildcats!

Saturday Update: Weight and Autumn

Today, it's been about a month since we ended our Biggest Loser contest. I got on the scale with a little bit of trepidation - not sure how I've been doing (eek). To my joy and excitement, I've lost an additional 8 pounds!!! Yeah!!!

I should have guessed because I've been pinning my skirts closed for work.....to the point that it might be bordering on sloppy looking. :) It's hard to want to go shopping because I don't want to spend money on clothes that are meant to be temporary as I presumably continue to lose weight.

I've been fortunate to have coworkers and friends give me their clothes as they, too, have been losing weight.

Now I really need to REfocus on what I want and why (which will come in a later post).

Friday Night Videos

It's about time I start back up with my favorite feature. :)

Oh to have this talent...amazing:

Scary!!! Smart police officer...AND how does one hit a parked car on the side of the road, anyway? Really? You're not paying attention!?!?!?:

A cute Pixar short film: Mosquito:

Caremelite Fair

September has been busy. I have been out and about, taking pictures of the life I lead and I take so many pictures it takes forever to get them off the camera, (photo shopped, if necessary) and posted in places like my blog and flickr.

September 18: Eric's mom, Kathy, joined me at the Caremelite Fair in Holladay. My coworker, Tim, has invited all of us many times over the last few years and this year, I decided to go help raise money for the nuns who live there.

Here are the pictures I took and loved:
My coworker, Tim and his grandson:
Scottish dancers were fun to watch. Of course, I loved the bag pipes:
Tim gave us a tour of the chapel. I felt a little irreverent taking this picture, but he encouraged me to snap away, so I snapped fast and quickly moved on:
This statue of Mary was donated earlier this summer:
Greek dancers entertained the crowd:
