My Grandpa Pingel embarked on a new project recently, and I got to go over and photograph the start of his project for him. He bought a 1957 Triumph TR3 that he plans to restore. He had the same car when my dad was a little boy. The project's a bit crazy, but I think it's awesome. I've enjoyed seeing the progress in just the few weeks he's had it so far, and look forward to watching it come together over the next few years.

The Triumph TR3

I think it might need some work.

Grandpa also repainted his truck. I think it looks great.

Kanab Photo shoot

While we were in Kanab, we did a photo shoot with the kids. It all started from Serene wanting Jess to take photos of Violet. Serene had a watermelon dress, and had bought a small watermelon specifically for the photo shoot. Unfortunately, the dress was way to big on Violet, so instead we put it on Hannah. First, Jess took tons of pictures of Violet (who really could be a model) and then we did Hannah. We tried to get Hannah and Violet together, but Hannah would have none of it - not counting the seesaw. We tried to do Katherine, but she was not in the mood for solo pictures. Lastly, we put all the kids in their bathing suits for a group photo - which ended up in tears for practically all involved. Oddly enough, Matthew was really good about sitting and smiling for the camera. I did bribe him with the promise of a treat, but I'm still rather impressed. I love have a photographer in the family. And I'm super grateful for Serene, who finally did something with Hannah's hair. I never do my own hair, so I had no idea what to do with Hannah's. But ever since Kanab, I've been experimenting with Hannah's hair and it does look really cute when it's up. I love having sisters-in-law.

We wanted to take a picture of the two of them,

but Hannah insisted on a solo photo shoot.

Serene brought the watermelon dress and watermelon

for Violet, but the dress was too big, so she had us

do a watermelon shoot with Hannah.

I love this photo

Kanab, Utah

About an hour after Mark's family cleared out of the house, my parents came to stay with us for a few days. My parents rented a house down in Kanab, Utah, and we were excited to spend Memorial Day weekend hiking and hanging out with my family. Unfortunately, it rained most of the weekend, so we didn't do nearly as much hiking as we originally anticipated. But it was just fun being together. All three of my brothers were there with their families. Highlights from the weekend include a visit to the Best Friends Animal Sanctuary, s'mores on the deck, and cornhole. For one day, Mom and I babysat all the kids while the rest of the adults went off hiking at Bryce Canyon. It's just so much fun spending time with family.
