Evie Lynn Stewart....

I just have to take a minute and express my gratitude for this wonderful woman that Heavenly Father placed in my life. This last weekend was a long one for me. I won't go into details but I needed someone who knew just what to say and when to just say nothing and just be by me. And this person was Sean's mother, who I consider as dear to me as my own mom. Evie Stewart... Thank you. I needed you so bad and I don't know how anyone could have made me feel better then you did. I love you mom! Thank you... I am so grateful you live close enough that all I have to do is get into the car and head over, and there you are. Don't go anywhere! I love you.

Sean's extended birthday...

HELLO all! So Sean and I went to the UT Jazz vs WA Wizzards last night and it was really fun. I am not one for basketball I grew up in a wrestling family so we never watched basketball. But I really did enjoy it so much. We had great seats and the game was good. We were almost 20 points ahead the whole game and it was great. The people here love their Jazz and it was such a good night for Sean and I. We got to get away from studying and the gym and homework and laundry and just get out and have fun.

Here are the teams getting ready for the game... Standing for the National Anthem.. It was done really well actually. Usually I am not impressed but I was pleasently suprised!The little tiny Jazz Cheereleaders. These girls were so good. I was amazed and I can't wait to have little girls. Sean said they get to do this when we have them..... THEY WERE TINY AND SO GOOD. They did their dance so well and it was so fun to see.

WE WON!!!!! GReAT...

Of course Sean is watching the game while I am trying to take pictures.... Bless his heart. LOVE my husband... HAPPY BIRTHDAY WONDERFUL MAN!

MOM!!!! THANK YOU!

hey so my mom came for the weekend and it was so good to see her. She is always so helpful when she comes to see me. Sean loved it. She jumped in and did the dishes and he didn't have to... That sure made his day. We didn't have a ton of time but it was so fun to have her here. I miss her alot and I was worried I wouldn't be able to see her before we left for Korea. LOVE YOU MOM!!! O And my little brother came down from Rexburg ID. That was fun... The Stewart boys like to see what all he will eat at the Korean Restraunt... Which was EVERYTHING.... We went to my cousin Ali's bridal shower Saturday too. It was fun to have the cousins all together!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!

this last weekend was my Husband's 26th birthday... A day he has not been looking forward to with a TON of happiness. BUT he didn't seem to dread it either. I did want to make sure he loved his birthday and looked forward to them from now on. SO..

"SUPRISE!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!"

we all yelled as he walked into our home Saturday evening. I have been planning his party for weeks now making sure I had everything for him... Presents, balloons, streamers, LOTS OF CANDY and other goodies and our family there. I had a blast planning it and Sean's reaction showed that he really had no idea what was going on. He just stood there with a terrified look on his face, trying his hardest to figure out why there was so much shouting coming from his home that was supposed to be only holding his wife and her friend... He just stood staring at us.... NOT sure what to think exactly. He had never had a suprise party before and it made his heart stop when we yelled. PERFECT!!! It turned out so well.

I cooked and decorated all day to get ready for this, and did my last minute shopping too. THANKS ERICA FOR PICKING UP HIS BALLOONS AND COMING OVER FOR A "GIRLS DAY filled with SCRAPBOOKING" SO I COULD HAVE A REASON TO MAKE SEAN LEAVE THE HOUSE! We decorated and got the house all ready and then the family arrived... and we had to wait.. Of course Sean had gone to see Kyle and then with Lance to the gym so we couldn't get him home. We sat waiting while he did his workout and then decided he needed to get 2 moves for the night. GRRRRRRREAT Sean... We are all sitting at home practicing "SUPRISE" or "HAPPY BIRTHDAY" or "Don'T MOVE OR I'll SHOOT" we couldn't decide what would be best.

WE went with "SUPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!" and stayed away from the shooting one. So that was fun. I made Sean's cake... It was banna with bananna cream and chocolate frosting... I got GREAT reviews from the boys like always! And so that was wonderful.

THEN IT WAS PRESENT TIME!

ok... so I am terrible at keeping things a secret. I gave Sean 3 presents this weeks before the party... First his new workout pumas. CAUSE HE HAS LOST HIS OTHER GYM SHOES AND HAS BEEN WEARING HIS NICE FANCY BLACK SCHOOL SHOES TO THE GYM! and I couldn't watch that for another night... HE LOVES THEM. that is good... THEN thanks to one of my customers at the bank I got 2 nights of tickets for the both of us to a hockey game... That should be lots of fun! that was the 3 things I gave him till at the party... WHERE HE GOT HIS LAST PRESENT! LOWER BOWL TICKETS TO THE UTAH JAzZZZ! Oooooo GREAT! I had no idea hw would love them so much. His reaction was GREAT and it made me feel good I could give him such a nice birthday! AND THANKS EVERYONE for coming... It was perfect.

testing out new WATERS

Well... testing out my new camera is more like it. I had some very willing subjects to photograph. It was so wonderful. I got to take out my new camera, and really try it out. I loved it. The quality is amazing. It is a little bit harder to focus then I thought but I am sure with practice I will be AMAZING. (we shall see about that.) At least that is what Sean says.
So I took Sean's brother, Lance and his cutie pie girlfriend Erica into Provo Canyon. They were really good sports and did whatever I wanted. From getting on the ground to crawl on their bellies to basically doing gymnastics on the bridge. I had such a good time, and I think they did too. They told me I am going to be a GREAT photographer cause I keep saying " O you guys looks so CUTE! You look GOOD!" and that anyone would be willing to smile and pose for pictures with compliments like that!
I can't wait to show everyone how they turn out. I was going through them last night with Sean, I think he is always a little suprised at my pictures. I get comments like "Was that your idea? That is so COOL! GOOD idea!" Its fun to have him be proud of me and want me to show off what I can do.
Anyhow, I am going ot get a website up and get my advertising going so I can be IN BUSINESS! I can't wait to jump in and do it. I love this. I love to capture a moment that we could never get back, we can only look back. And I got it. I can't wait to document a part of your life. Freeze that moment in time. And then give it back to you in a small way.
SO.... HERE I COME!

our home....

I don't know if these pictures our home justice... NOT on the looks but how much time and thought I put into our home... Sean too, boy did it take forever to decide where to put the couches. We moved around our home OVER and OVER. And couldn't agree on where we wanted it, we only knew where we DIDN'T want it. Anyways, the pictures above are our living room, and below is our dining room. MY two favorite looking places. They clean up nicely. And Sean loves them. Those curtains are made out of sheets... That I wore to a toga party with Christine and Jessica and Sean and Lance at the boy's house. It was fun. Anyhow... LOVE it. Thanks mom for finding that BEAUTIFUL table and chair set. WE LOVE IT.
