SLC's Fashion Night Out 2012

Posted on Sunday, September 16, 2012

Last night I had the fun opportunity to style hair with the salon at Fashion Night Out.  I love doing hair for these sorts of things, it allows my to be creative in ways I don't normally get to be in the salon.  Plus, doing hair for a runway show was on my list of things to do as a hairstylist back when I was in hair school.  I feel I can now say my list is complete, something I feel few can say! I still have so much more I can accomplish, I think it is time to make a new goal list!

We did Hair for Mary Rino, a bridal designer who makes gorgeous romantic gowns.  We set hair in curls and weaved hair into big romantic dutch braids.  The green room was crowded with models, makeup artists, hairstylists and photographers all elbowing their ways around each other to finish the looks.


As we sat in the middle of the Gallivan Center waiting for the first runway show to begin, we people watched and were fascinated with how many interesting people were gathered to one place.  I began to get a sense of what it would be like to be at the Capitol in the Hunger Games.  People with hair every color of the rainbow wandered around, hairstylists with crazy (ugly) haircuts and black clothing liberally applied hairspray to models hair, people sat around dressed as if they had stepped out of every era possible. (Bettie Page you're real cute.)  As fun as it was, at the same time it was a little silly.  We all try too hard to impress each other...

Bear Lake

Posted on Monday, September 3, 2012

Last weekend we went to a Otteson family reunion at Bear Lake.  We had so much fun hanging out with cousins and babies!  Hudson did so well being held by everyone and sleeping in an unfamiliar place.


Bear lake is so beautiful, especially when compared to the mucky Utah Lake we are used to.  My mouth still waters for delicious raspberry shakes...yum!

Below, Jason plays twister with my uncle Brent and cousin Logan.  It was his first family reunion ever and he seemed to enjoy himself.

Hudson 3 Months

I can't believe Hudson is already three months old!  The past three months have flown by!   It seems like just yesterday he was a tiny newborn who slept all day and kept me up most of the night.



Hudson now LOVES to hear himself talk. He coos and squeals and jibber-jabbers to himself all day long.  We have had many long conversations about who knows what.

He took his first flight to see his Aunt Brittany get married.

He is so strong, he has been rolling from tummy to back since six weeks.

He has learned to hate his carseat, unless it is nap time.

He is starting to grab things, anything in his hands goes straight to his mouth, even if nothing is in them, his hands are in his mouth.  I found him sucking his thumb after a nap once!


We love this little guy so much!
