What kind of gem are you?

What kind of gem are you?
 

I got Turquoise.You tend to be protective, repel negative energy and bring good fortune to your friends, which are many. You have a peaceful, playful spirit, like a clear blue sky. In romance, you are attractive to a partner who makes you laugh. You are drawn to work outdoors.

Daddy-Daddy

2 years ago today my Grandpa (Daddy-Daddy) passed away. He was the best Grandpa in the whole wide world. He would always say to me "who's the prettiest girl in the world wide world" and I would say "me". I have a lot of great memories of Daddy-Daddy that I will always remember. One of my favorite memories of Daddy-Daddy is when I was a little girl he would take me to go see a movie at Valley Fair Mall. Then we would go get something to eat at Chick-fil-a. He would always come to my band concerts and he liked watching the Jazz band play. After my concerts money would exchange hands. Another memory of Daddy-Daddy is when I had plastic surgery done on my nose Daddy-Daddy came over a couple of times to my house to be with me while my Mom was at work. He would bring me a Jamba Juice and he feed me can peaches. Another memory of Daddy-Daddy is a scary one. My family and I went to my uncle Ryan's football game and his school team was playing Tooele at Tooele. I remember that it was raining while we were at the game. I think I was 4 or 5 at this time. Daddy-Daddy was carrying me up the bleachers and he slipped and fell down some of the bleachers. I got a cut on my forehead when we fell and I'm not sure if Daddy-Daddy was hurt or not. I remember I was more scared for Daddy-Daddy being hurt then if I was hurt. I have a little scar on my forehead from that lovely fall down the bleachers that I will always remember but in a good way. Daddy-Daddy always smelled like cloves when you hug him. And whenever I do smell cloves I always think of him. Another thing I remember about Daddy-Daddy is that whenever we would leave his house he always wanted us to give him a call when we got home. So, that he knows that we made it home safely. I miss you very much Daddy-Daddy and I know that I will see you again. I love you Daddy-Daddy.

Go Utes!!!! Kick BYU's ass!!!

I'm not a big fan of college sports but when the University of Utah plays BYU especially in football I am a fan. I sure hope that today's game that the UofU kicks BYU's ass and win the game. I think that BYU is a great college and has great programs you can major in. But I think that their sport teams are awful. Go Utes!!!

The Vang's Family Portraits at Murray Park on 7/26/2011

On July 26, 2011 I shot a family portrait at Murray Park. I shot Mary and Mike Vang's family. Mary and Mike Vang live in my neighborhood and are in my Mom's ward. I have know the Vang's for a very long time. It was so good to see and visit with them on July 26th. I took there pictures at Murray Park in the evening and it rained while we were taking pictures. When we finished taking the pictures it was pouring so we time that perfectly. Here are some of the pictures that I took that day. You can see the rest of the pictures on my photography blog at www.tlgphotographyllc.blogspot.com. Take care everyone and have a great rest of the day.
