"BIRDS IN TREE" 
"FORGOTTEN"Chelsea recently entered a contest through the Lehi Arts council for a Photo contest. Chelsea entered into the Youth division for a nature scene, "naturally Lehi" it was kind of funny how it played out on the day the photo was due. Chelsea came to me and said "Mom, let's go down to the Jordan River and take some pictures." I was free for the moment so we went down there and traipsed through some deep snow and went under the bridge. I was waiting for Chelsea as she ventured on. After a few moments I decided to find her and there she was taking a photo of an old ten speed bike frozen in the river. I thought it was an interesting photo and after a few shots we left and drove down the road a little bit. The sun was setting and the sky was beautiful. Chelsea took a bunch of neat pictures of some birds in a tree and the sunset and then we tried to go to another spot to take the last of her pictures. We went to willow park and found some neat shots and her battery died. Remember, this was the day that the photos were due so Chelsea and I flew back to our house to charge her battery which was going to take some time. We still needed to get the photos printed and framed and get them to the arts council building by 7pm for the deadline. By this time it was about 5:30pm After what seemed like too much time for the charging of this battery, we decided to shoot down to alphagraphics in lehi and print some photos out. Fortunately there was noone in there and the manager, Tiffany, took great effor to print us out the most awesome shots of the bike and the birds in the tree. She thought they looked awesome and thought that Chelsea could win. We were happy with the results and thought she was awesome and then we flew to Roberts crafts where Chelsea found 2 black frames. We raced home so Chelsea could go to Young Womens, and Chris to Young Men's(everyone was waiting at the Stake Center for them at 6:30pm to go Ice Skating in Provo.) We barely made it as it was 6:40pm when we were heading towards the Stake Center and we saw the caravan leaving. Whew! After I dropped them off I had a few minutes to get to the Arts council building and turn in Chelsea's photos. At 6:55 pm I pulled in and the lady taking the entries was just getting ready to close up shop... I made it!!!! Well, Chelsea's photo of the bike won 3rd place and she got a $25 check for all of our trouble (which wouldn't have been trouble if we didn't procrastinate!! Good job Chelsea!!

Those pictures are awesome! Good job Chelsea.
My kids are always telling me things that they need to do 10 minutes before they are due also. But, way to go for supporting her and her talants, because that is what she is going to remember! Awesome pictures Chelse!
You are a wonderful mom!!!
I can only imagine all the running from here to there, that was awesome!
