Marching Band Tour

Ran across this pic of a spider

I attempted to take while on tour

with OHS Marching Band.

This was a year Andi was in color Guard

and the band went to California

where Van Guard is held.

This guy was nestled in a web

he had spun between two trees.

I bet he was predicting 'fly by' bugs.

Derek's Family

We were able to meet more of Derek's sisters on Andi and Derek's wedding day. The sun was bright and intense, but we wanted photos before the reception began. You can still tell how beautiful each girl is despite the need to squint. (my apologies). Andi and Derek recently took a vacation with this side of his family. Andi had a G-R-E-A-T time with her new sisters! I am sure she will post pics on her blog soon.

Beauty of Wyoming

The clouds kept me in constant aah.

Wind energy.

Pretty good for driving and

shooting pics at the same time.

When you are the only person

who is in the car

sometimes you have to take

the pics on your own.

I was surprised at what I was

able to shoot one handed.

So many trains in Wyoming.

I did slow down a bit for this shot.

I love the rock formations.

So much history and story

with each layer of sediment

and with every wave and line.

Above: Pulled off the road for this one.

B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L

I Believe in Christ

This original oil done by my T-A-L-E-N-T-E-D
little girl is displayed in my home

as a visual display of our belief in Christ

and a reminder of the beauty which is within us all.

Wow! What a talent!

Amanda has the A-M-A-Z-I-N-G opportunity to study with a professional artist for a week. Today was her first session with him. He demonstrated a new technique for her to try. The top sketch is what she did. The bottom is his. My Grandpa Rigby and Uncle Neal (both artists themselves) are watching from heaven doing a little dance. Most likely the same dance I am doing right here.

Pages by Becky

Becky and Jim have been staying at our home for the past few days. Jim had an appointment at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City to see what can be done about the scar tissue growing over his eye. (He will be back in another month for the surgery.) So Becky and I got a few days to play...so we chose scrapbooking! And stocking up on scrapbooking stuff!

These are some of Becky's pages I had scanned to add to my albums.

Anyone have suggestions on where to get amazing and amazingly cheap 12 x 12 prints made of these?
