Angela Lilyquist Photography: July 2011

Since my lack of posting/updating is pretty obvious I thought I'd give you a sneak peak at my best excuses for the absence. In my best David Letterman voice...

#10-Our sweet 12 year old Alaskan Malamute is very sick with pneumonia. It was very touch and go for a few days but we're still crossing our fingers that he'll pull thru!

#9-The night before we left for a 4 day camping trip with Rob's brother & his family our dishwasher went ca put! Yes that's a real word folks-it means dead as a doornail. We finally got a new one after almost 3 weeks and man was I ready to throw a party! Who knew 3 weeks without a dishwasher would be such a life altering event?!

New baby :)

#8-Every year I photograph the Bountiful School of Ballet dress rehearsal and create a poster to hang in the studio. This year I actually did photos for both the ballet and the jazz rehearsals so my work load was a little larger than normal.

#7-Last weekend the kids and I were invited to enjoy the day boating on Utah Lake. We had a great time-minus the time spent waiting out the storm in the car :)

#6-Tuesday night around 8pm I got a call from my local credit union asking me where I was located at that exact moment. You're not in New Castle Delaware? Nope. Do you have your debit card in your possession? Yep. Well I'm sure you can see where this is going but I'll sum it up just in case. Some lovely little criminal in Delaware created a fraudulent debit card and happened to make up a number that matched my business debit card. He used it to purchase $598 of who knows what from a Wal-Mart of all places. Of course there was no way to catch it until it had already cleared my account. Long story short I had to fill out a bunch of paperwork and close the card before any other charges could hit. Luckily the funds are back in my account now but not until after 24 hours of some serious stress.

#5-We spent the 4th of July celebrating with friends and family and the good 'ol West Bountiful parade then hit the "giraffe theatre" for Cars 2. Afterward we spent some time swimming in Grammy and Papa's pool then headed to Pizza Factory for salad bar and yummy bread sticks then back home to play games and watch the Eaglewood fireworks from our back deck. A great time was had by all :)

It's pretty rare that I will allow anyone to capture me on the other side of the camera so this is a rare treat. With my sweet niece Sophie :)

#4-A new park opened in our neighborhood recently and it comes complete with it's own set of water fountains. Who needs The Gateway and 80million people when you can just swing over to our own little gem?!

#3-As I mentioned in #9 we spent 4 fabulous days camping at Rockport Reservoir with Rob's brother Gary and his wife Danae and their sweet kiddos. The weather was warm and fabulous and the kids all played and played and played. Savanna even learned how to play chess with her Uncle Gary.
