Someone asked me the other day if I have a lot of clients! The answer is YES! I have my big family and 22 of the most adorable grandchildren ever! Clearly biased, I know, but what can I say! ALL grandmas feel that way! And in about three months, there will be another little face for me to capture on film!

HALLOWEEN 2011

FIFTIES COUPLE- Den and Kat- I looked in the mirror and what did I see? My mother and grandmother!! weird!
BARBIE AND KEN- Treavor and Sara- Ok, we were dying!!!!! So funny, so clever!!
BUDDY THE ELF AND JOVIE- Adam and Tristen "I just like smiling, smiling's my favorite!" BTW- Hand made by Tristen!!
FLOWER POWER- Travis and Kim- " This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius!"
COACH AND HIS TRAINEE- Chad and Tiffany- most comfy costume for sure!!
HIPPIES- Stephen and Tara--LOVE THE SHOES STEVE!

I know these photos are going to make Telisa laugh and cry! We missed the little VL's so much, but we were thinking of them the whole time!!!! It was our first Halloween Party in years and years without the grandkids. It was nice to have the mom's be able to relax a little at the party! Sadly Tara was feeling pretty ill and limping from her blisters from running the half marathon that morning!? But she was trouper, providing all the fun games for us! Thanks to everyone for showing up, bringing delicious food and outfitting yourselves for the season!! You're awesome and I love you all very much!!

Spooky Half Marathoners!!!

Yes! Through sickness, hours of waiting in line (to register and to get on the bus!), bleeding blisters and too busy to really train (Tiffany), these three amazing mommys ran a half-marathon through Provo Canyon on Saturday, September 29th! They persevered and came off heros!! I'm so proud of Tiffany, Tara and Sara!!! Costumes were optional, so of course......

GO TEAM TARA & TRISTEN!

I'm so proud of my two girls for their participation in a triathlon on Saturday, September 24th. They, along with approximately 400 other mommies swam 300 meters, biked 11 miles and then ran a 5k! Tara has participated in a half marathon and few other runs. But for Tristen this was her first experience! This was really out of her comfort zone, but she persevered! Both girls trained really hard, however the final couple of weeks of training they were both sick. They came in 6 minutes apart from each other! This is something I could never imagine myself doing EVER, so I am even MORE impressed and proud of their efforts!!!!

CADE'S BAPTISM

Saturday, September 17, 2011 was the day Cade Michael VanLeeuwen chose to be baptized by his father Adam. For our family, it was a lovely event and a new chapter in Cade's life.


The VanLeeuwen family raise their Ute flag with pride. This was also the day of the BYU/Utah game. Disaster for BYU!!!! (may of been their worst game ever!!) Victory for the Utes!!!
