Daisypath - Personal pictureDaisypath Anniversary tickers

Well we've been married for 4 years now. I never thought I'd get married within 2 months from meeting and going on our first date, but sure enough you can't help who your heart falls for. I'm sure glad my heart fell for him. We were married on Feb 29th, 2008 because leap year may come every 4 years, but a love like ours comes only once in a lifetime. We were just recently sealed for time and all eternity and it feels so wonderful knowing that we are now a "Forever Family". It's been such a blessing to have Chad in my life and I am grateful every day that the Lord lets me enjoy here on earth with my SOULMATE.

B.B.B.S.U. (and spouses too)



(Kody, Bryan, Dad, Ryan, Justin and Chad)

Every month my brothers get together for what they call BBBSU (Brothers, Breakfast and Blowing Stuff Up). They usually get together and go running in the early morning. Then they go to Ihop or somewhere for breakfast. After that they drive out to the West side of Utah Lake and they do some shooting or "blowing stuff up". Well this time my mom and I tagged along and we soon learned why they don't take women.


My brothers and dad all brought their guns as they always do. It was kind of cool to see their collection of guns. Ryan had a shotgun and Justin had a hand gun. Kody had a revolver and a little pink camouflage handgun and my dad had a miscommunication and brought his nail gun and nails (instead of handgun and shells). He also brought this really REALLY loud shotgun that we could all feel when we were standing anywhere near him.


When we were ordering breakfast all the guys quickly ordered their food and a glass of orange juice. My mother and I had to put in our special ordered food and then substitute hash-browns for eggs or some other kind of difficult order. Then we had orange juice and then water on the side. The guys just laughed and made jokes about "this is why we don't bring women". When we drove out to go shooting, the guys drove to the spot, set up their targets and started shooting. My mother and I were more concerned about how beautiful the view was and when the next "potty break" would be. I was more into taking pictures and getting the "right shot" with the camera than I was worried about shooting the target in the right place.



Needless to say, we now know why they don't invite the girls to go with them, but I am so grateful that they made an exception just this one time. I had so much fun hanging out with them and I am so glad the Heavenly Father gave me 7 amazing brothers. I'm grateful for my beautiful sisters too and I hope they are able to come with us sometime.



Way to go Chad!!!
Ryan is getting the perfect shot
Dad helping with the kick back
You go Sarah Palin...

Kody has the hang of it

Love like CRAZY





They called them crazy when they started out.
Said 17 to young to know what loves about.
They've been together 58 years now....Thats crazy.

He brought home 67 bucks a week.
Bought a little two bedroom house on maple street.
Where she blessed him with 6 more mouths to feed....thats crazy.


Just ask him how he did it,
he'll say pull up a seat.
It'll only take a minute to tell you everything

Be a best friend,
tell the truth,
over use I LOVE YOU.
Go to work,
do your best,
don't out smart your common sense.
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
and love like crazy.

They called him crazy when he quit his job.
Sellin' home computers boy they'll never take off.
Well he sold his one man shop to microsoft,
and they paid like crazy.

Just ask him how he made it,
he'll tell you faith and sweat,
and the heart of a faithful woman who never let him forget.

Be a best friend,
tell the truth,
over use I LOVE YOU.
Go to work,
do your best,
don't out smart your common sense.
Never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
and love like crazy.

Always treat your woman like a lady,
never get to old to call her baby.
never let your prayin' knees get lazy,
and love like crazy.



They called them crazy when they started out
they've been together 58 years now
aint that crazy?

Happy Couple





































On Sunday I was able to go with my brother Justin and his new fiance Yvette to take their engagement pictures. It was a lot of fun but also very challenging at the same time. If any of you know my brother Justin, you know how much of a joker he is. Anyway it took what seemed like forever to get him to take a seriously normal picture. I was ready to smack him at times. I was also pleasantly surprised when Yvette never seemed to get flustered or frustrated with him once. I kept expecting a "diva moment" (only because I know I would have had one) but to my surprise she was so amazing. She just laughed and laughed and thought my brother was so funny and awesome. What an amazing couple. I am so happy he found somebody who is into him for everything he is and loves him despite of his past or flaws. How great it must be to find a true soulmate who looks past what everybody else sees and understands who you really are inside. I love you both and I am so very happy for you both. I can't wait for the wedding.
