So long old friend....

So I almost never post on this thing. In fact, I can't remember the last time I did. That being said, I wanted to do a blog to an old buddy of mine that is no longer with us. So this is for you old pal.


We've been through some good times and the bad. I remember when you first came around, I wasn't sure what to think of you. I didn't understand your style, your way of life. But as we spent more and more time together I began to understand who you were and what you stood for. I remember the first Utah football game we went to together. It was cold and you tried to keep me warm. You were there for me when I was growing my beard, some people made fun of me but not you. You traveled with me to new orleans, who can forget our time down on Bourbon Street? At disneyland you went on every single ride with me. I knew sometimes you were a little scared and worried the rides could mess things up, but you did it anyway. I'll never forget our time in hawaii. Our snorkling expeditions, riding the waves together, or just hanging around in our hotel room. No matter what you always had my back, and I thank you for that. I know you are gone, but we will always have those times and no one can take them away from us. So here's to you my friend, my companion, MY SHAG! Gone but certainly not forgotten!!

Macy Paige Thomas

My sister Meg had her baby on Monday...isn't she so stinkin cute?! I just want to squeeze her. She was 7.2 pounds and 20 inches with chubby little cheeks and a ton of brown hair. That makes 10 grandkids now on the Wakefield side, it's just chaos when we are all together....

Hailey, Meg, Macy and Alexa...family of girls!

Dreaded Pictures

I really really hate getting family pictures done. I never know what to have everyone wear, how I should do my hair, how to get Tate to cooperate, or where to even get them done. BUT, I needed Tate's 2 year pictures and I really wanted one of all of us. So I called my old friend Jen from highschool who does them and she is awesome--she was amazing with Tate (who was acting less than amazing) and I just thought she did a great job. I highly recommend her....look here if you want to see her other work. PS--I don't know why they are showing up blurry on here, maybe I downloaded them wrong??I love this face, you can see he's planning something sneaky to doThis is what he wanted to do instead of pose...throw dirt and look for bugs
