This is apparently what they use to due before sprinklers. How quaint.

Anywho, this also means that there is a cheap alternative to a water and my nephew and nieces can go rafting in the lawn. My dad provided some rafts, innertubes, and some ropes to pull the kids around. They had a lot of fun and it was a chance to try out my recently repaired Nikon lens. So far the lens is working, I am crossing my fingers that this fourth repair lasts! Shooting with my Nikon camera brings back a lot of memories. And I am reminded with how good Nikon’s autofocus system really kicks butt.

I should zoom into the photo so you could see the sad sad face of Henry. He was asked to push his Uncle Adam on the raft and Henry was just too sad. He wanted to ride the ride. :(

Yes, I could take one of my normal cameras – but then I would probably focus more on the photography and less on just hanging out and having fun. And I didn’t want to worry about my camera getting wet or carrying a large camera on a ride. So I took my point and shoot camera and my iPhone 4 with me. These photos are a mix from both cameras.

And my brother from Arizona was able to make it up to visit. His kids LOVED the roller coasters. I didn’t ride roller coasters till high school so they are one up on me.

In Utah, if July 4th falls on a Sunday, the holiday is completely ignored and celebrated instead on the 3rd and 5th. My family tested out a train float that will appear in the July 5th parade in Provo, Utah. And each kid had the chance to be the train’s conductor/captain. I have no clue what they call the train person.

Although this is a first where these were sliced olives, but Henry apparently is a slave to tradition.

This photo was taken with my iPhone.

It gives me the chance to practice some children photography – and I was even able to get them to calm down for a few minutes to take some headshots. Yes, I should have grabbed a reflector – but when it is Father’s Day and I am just hanging out with the family I usually don’t drag out the lighting and too much camera gear.

My family didn’t believe my joke when I said I arrived to Easter dinner without my camera. They didn’t buy the idea that I might have been taking the day off from creating photographs. I can’t imagine that happening either.

So here are a few photographs of the rolls, the nephew and the nieces. I tried to catch them as they played, read, or just did their thing. That is my definition of “lifestyle photography.” To capture people being themselves.

And these were taken with my favorite lens of all time – the 50mm f/1.2.

While there my nephew Henry decided to hang out in the book bag cubby holes. I had taken a few photographs cropped tight to just show him – but then I thought it would be a much more unique composition to show the scale for the cubby holes in relation to the 2 year old tot.

Maybe during the holidays I won’t worry so much about blogging the daily photograph on the actual day I took the photo. And I spent so much time designing a new look for the website – by now you should see the new look and feel.

This photograph is of my nephew Henry – he is waiting for candy – the kid is obsessed with candy.

And we are born loving BYU. Here is Henry my nephew – granted he was more interested in the chips, soda, and candy than in the turn overs, touchdowns, and overtime game. And although I talk a lot of trash during the BYU vs. Utah game – I don’t have that much hate in my heart. Some of my best friends are Utes.

Julianne mourns David turning 36 years old

I turned 36 today! On Sunday my family got together to celebrate – and not everyone was happy. But I think it was because Julianne didn’t want any more casserole and wanted some delicious chocolate cake.

Guess who loved the chocolate cake and ice cream? And yes he is laughing – and showing off his rabbit teeth.

Yes, it is my favorite nephew in Utah – Henry. He was having a lot of fun at the birthday party. And look at his cake and ice cream – it is obvious he enjoyed it.

And the next two photos of me blowing out the candles – I took by myself – so one of them is blurry – but what can you do with just two hands and a cake.
