Art Project

We have been wanting to paint our own canvas photos for quite some time now. Shaileen went to the store with Kimberly and my Mom this morning and the canvas was finally on sale. Tristen and Nelson got off work early and they wanted to do some painting as well. I love how mine turned out as well as everyone else's. I have never been good at painting or drawing so I was extreme happy with the final product. Shaileen's was really cool too because she made his and hers canvas paintings. They are pretty much the exact same paintings but they one will go up above my side of the desk and hers will go on her craft side of the desk. Hope you enjoy!

New Art Piece

This afternoon we went to Ross to see if we could find any cool artwork and boy did we find one...we found this HUGE piece that you can see in the photos. It was so large that it would not fit on the car so we put it on top of the car and drove home just holding on to it like it was a mattress. We love it!

Real Salt Lake

REAL SALT LAKE

Yesterday we went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game. It was Shaileen's and my first time ever going to a soccer game. Good thing Nelson sat by Scott and me to tell us some of the rules when we were confused. It was a lot of fun and we would for sure go again. Real even won 2-0 and they scored their second goal in the stoppage time at the end of the game! I definitely have a lot to learn when it comes to soccer if I am going to become a fan but I can feel it coming on! By the way I put Shaileen in charge of our point and shoot camera so we could get a different perspective.

These 2 pictures was right after they scored a goal. It was funny because the people that sit in the south stands go absolutely crazy! Take their shirts off and start spinning them around and yell and scream and stuff...

Shaileen's attempt at the sunset photo! (too lazy to put it through photoshop so this is how it came out of the point and shoot)

FIREWORKS

FIREWORKS!

I have been wanting to get a great photo of some fireworks and I had something in my mind that i wanted to capture but the dang buildings were in the way! Here are the best photos that I took last night which are not very good. Next year I will have to scout out a better spot to get what is in my mind. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves though being able to watch fireworks over the whole valley. You could easily tell that they legalized arial fireworks because they were over the entire valley. It was nice to not have all of the crowds around us and it being a bit more serene than usual. Shaileen even said that she thinks this should be a tradition.

Yay for tripods..(too bad I forgot to take it off of manual focus so we were not in focus, stupid photographer)
