Dinner for 8



Last weekend Jonathan and I meet up with his buddies to get together and catch some shrimp in our mouths.. Thats right folks, at the local Bonsai, a Japanese Steak House, they fling your food at you. Well not all of your food, but if you are lucky you might get a few extra pieces of shrimp flown your way!! The rest of the food is cooked right there in front of you. I love smelling the yummy foods being prepared right in front of me! Bonsai was a new restaurant for me, but I have to say I loved it so much, we will definitely be going back!! It was so much fun!! I would really recommend it!! :) The food was great, and our cook was HILARIOUS!! (mostly because he made really random comments, and it was funny because we could barely understand him). The menu is a bit pricey but you get a ton of food so sharing is a great option! Also if it is someone's bday they take a picture of you and they put it on their wall. So if you go to Bonsai look for our picture on the beam by the hostess. We claimed we had a birthday, but truthfully we didn't, but we couldn't go and not get our picture on the wall!! :) (dont ask about the easter egg, we couldn't figure out why it was on there)
After dinner we went to Boondocks with the (newly-engaged) cute couple Cory and Kristie (they are next to us in the picture)!! They are so much fun to be with, I love hanging out with them! We had a blast playing miniature golf!... Unfortunately I left my camera in the car so I didnt get any pics, and I was in heels... not a good idea to play golf in heels. But because it was last minute I didnt have any other option, so I toughed it out and we had a great time. They kept laughing at me because I had a "stance" when I was putting.  YOU TRY PLAYING GOLf IN 4" HEELS!!! Oh and we still won!! We now have a free dessert next time we get together! Can't wait!!! :)

Utah Talent - Photography

I dont know if you have noticed... but Utah is full of talent!!! We have so many gifted people living in our beloved state. I have been on this "local" kick lately, I love finding local stores etc, for everything and anything! So I have decided to make posts about some great local finds. Today I wanted to talk about a great local photographer.

When I was planning my wedding I found SO MANY great local artists. I say artists instead of photographers because I can be a photographer, I can take pictures just fine... these people make art out of the things I just take pictures of.

My most recent run in with a local artist is Lindsay Ross. Now some may say that I have a biased to her because she is family (close enough) and because she takes GORGEOUS pictures of my nieces... but the real reason I am biased is because she took pictures of our precious pooch!! haha, no really though, she does a GREAT job!! My niece's are gorgeous anyway, so that does help, but the pictures that she recently took of them are just too precious!! Also because Holly doesnt have a blog, I feel it is my duty to show off her children.. so make sure you check them out!

Biased or not, anyone with eyes can see that Lindsay has a great talent for capturing the moment. Lindsay also takes great shots for sports, weddings, and family portraits.. and I hear she may even be getting into the puppy photo shoots soon ! ;) Check out her talent for yourself!!

WELCOME

Guess What?... We have MOVED. Lucky for you, you can still find us here.
