Andrew's photos

Andrew went out with his Grandpa Harris on a photo-shoot, and he took a long a camera for himself.  It is always humorous to see what he thinks is photo worthy.  Here are a few that he shot.  My favorite is the three legged dog he saw.   

Mormon Messages

Both Emma and Allison had the opportunity to get a taste of the actors world.  We were casting for this Mormon Message, and while working with the producer on another project, she was looking at pictures of the two girls and she asked if Emma could cry on cue.  I had never thought about it before, but I knew Emma was good at tears.  One time she teared up because some dude on Wipeout purposed to his girlfriend on the show, or when Polly Pocket got sent to boarding school.  So I went home, asked her if she could cry, and sure enough within minutes she had tears.  So she and Allison got cast in the short film.

Emma said she was nervous at first, but it didn't take long after being introduced to craft services with all the twizzlers you can eat, and having someone do hair and make-up, that she told me she wanted to do it every day.  Allie was a bit shy at first, but once she got comfortable with "fake mom" and "fake dad" she did great.  That was also their names the rest of the shoot.  Fake Mom and Fake Dad.  I also had a lot of fun because I got to spend the whole day with my two girls.

a few random photos

1, 2, 3 and 4

On a cold spring day, Allison realized the vents blow out warm air. So naturally she set up camp directly over the vent with the quilt to capture all the cozy air. Genius.

Oh this was a treat. The car wouldn't start, and realizing it was the battery, I figured it must be dead and needed to be replaced. So I took it in, and the guy said he would test it out. The battery was fine, and he told me it was probably corrosion. Then he told he has seen worse, but it definitely took a strong second place for caked on corrosion. He then proceeded to give a few tips to clean up the corrosion. But the lifesaver was the bearded greasy guy in line behind me. "Coke! Pour Coke right on there and it'll clean it right up." Thank you stranger. So on my way home, I picked up a Coke, took a sip, then proceeded to clean my horribly corroded battery cables. Sure enough, Coke! Coke cleans it right up.

Having fun with Grandpa Harris. Nice Silly-band toupee, I am sure it will catch on real quick.

Sloane is catching on quickly. She sees Allie coloring and insists she color too. Luckily Allie was excited to have her join in.

OWe got our money's worth out of these. Well at least I think so, not sure how long he had them, but we like to think we got our money's worth.

The Easter Pre-School Extravaganza!!

 Day before Easter we went to the Easter Carnival sponsored by Allie's pre-school.  They had games, activities, prizes, luke-warm hot dogs sans condiments, pretty much the usual event experience.  The kids loved it, it was a nice pre-holiday celebration.  A bit cold, but that didn't slow the kids down much.

A dash of Salt

We now have first hand experience of why it is called the Great Salt Lake. That's a cuss-load of salt. And amazingly flat. Found out one of the treasures of visiting the Salt Flats is making a pit stop in Dell.  It's pretty much a gas station, a run down hotel, truck and bus.  But great for photos.  Plus the gas station is no normal gas station, they had the usual sugar foods and caffeinated beverages, but also had milkshakes and a whole realm of fried foods including shrimp.  A rather unique picnic if you will. Big thanks to Lowell for snapping these shots (i'm actually in a couple of them).
