Just got back from Costa Rica

Hey guys, we just got back from Costa Rica and had an awesome time! Alisa looked hot with her little belly and bikini! And really it was just inspiring and relaxing!

I have been posting more images to my photography blog. Go check them out!! Also let me know if you are interested in buying any. I have already had a much bigger response to them than I thought. And have sold quite a few. I have all of the images printed 20x30 and they look amazing. If you want to check them out let me know.

6 weeks of changing

These are weeks 17-22 of Alisa being prego. We've been photographing Alisa every week in the same spot in our house here in Salt Lake. Things have changed a little bit on the angle of the shot but it is amazing to watch Amelia (our baby) grow.

You can check the weekly photos out at my photo site www.caseyhyer.com/blog/

Its a girl!

We just went to get our ultra sound and found out that we are going to have a girl!!

She should pop in around July 23, and stay with us for about the next 18 years or so, so yeah.....

Fail Blog

I like to start my day with a little laugh. So every morning or afternoon I go to failblog.org and have myself a little chuckle. I hope you all like it.

17 weeks prego

17 weeks along and Alisa is doing great! I just thought I would throw these up for you all.

My wife is beautiful!

Sytematicly increase your strength for climbing

I've had a few people ask for our climbing workouts lately. They are a little bit geeky but check them out if you want.

Slowing down/NuClimbing

Hey guys, I know we haven't been posting a ton lately. We are a little more boring now that we are trying to hatch a kid. Poor Alisa has been sleeping roughly 14 hours a day. But She is showing a little bit and is cuter and sweeter than ever! In all honesty she has been twice as sweet than usually and every thing is great! She is going to be an amazing mom.

On a side note I have been revamping my guide book climbing site. I've got it updated with a Wordpress blog/site and I customized it.

Scott and I have been doing some crazy training for climbing and I'm going to devote a part of the site to training for climbing. I haven't put any of it up yet, but I'll post the workouts soon.

Baby on the way!!

The word is out, the baby is on the way. Should be due on July 24ish. Alisa and I are pretty freaked out because we now have to be responsible, but we are excited.

This ultra sound is awesome! If you look close the baby is kickin' it with its legs crossed. I thought it was pretty rad for sure.

Alisa has been super tired and a bit sick, but things are on the up because she just finished her 1st trimester. Woop woop!

Also some good news, I have 4 cousins and some really good friends having babies all in the same month (ish).

Caden & Mandy got engaged

Here are the pics of Caden and Mandy. They got engaged last night. Wooo hoooo!!

Christmas Card

My team would like to wish you a merry Christmas. I have been laughing at this since we shot it! I have a pretty sweet crew for sure!

Dark Ops Wii Gun now for sale!

Hey, just thought I would tell you guys that this new Wii gun that I photographed a few weeks back is now for sale. 

Check it out.

Pizza night!

So about every 6 months we have pizza night with some of our friends from Logan. This time around we had a little studio set up and though we would take full advantage of it.

There are a few more on my photo blog if you want to check them out. I think the kids photos turned out very colorful and in character.

oh so good

Casey and I went to my favorite place to eat when the weather gets cold.  Unfortunately they have changed their business hours.  No more going in for lunch on a Saturday and no more going in past 3:00 during the week.  Now I can never go there to eat yummy soup unless  I have the day off.  Oh well, I'll enjoy it when I can.  My personal favorite is Lobster and Golden Pepper Bisque.  I can't get enough!

Is there another really good soup place that I don't know about?

To bad we don't have this place in SLC.  

New Blog for Casey

Hello everybody. I want to let you know that (once again), I have a new blog. I have been trying to put Moveable Type on my blog but couldn't get the database to work with it. So I finally figured out Wordpress and uploaded that.

Anyways, Please link to my new blog. It is www.caseyhyer.com/blog/

Also there is a link on my photo site www.caseyhyer.com

Thanks!!

If you are interested in checking out my brother Corey and his wife KrisAnn's new baby girl. I threw a few pics up on the new blog. She is really really cute. Basically the perfect baby. A few people have asked if I have photoshopped her perfect (like I sometime do), but the files are straight from the camera.

b flat theory

You always learn something new when you go to a Mason Jennings concert. Apparently there is a supermassive black hole emanating a B flat note that is 57 octaves below middle C so we can't hear it but it's resonating the earth. Supposedly B flat does some very strange and mysterious things. Many love songs are also written in B flat. The moral is that we all need to absorb the B flat sound and spread love to everyone. What, you don't believe all this mumbo jumbo hippy nonsense? Just listen to Mason. . . he knows what he's talking about.

** thanks Jared for the article.

Overworked and Underpaid

I found these photos of Casey from way back in the day and I thought they described what my job has been making me feel the past few weeks (months?).  

I get a long weekend to take a deep breath, let out a big sigh, and make some goals for Monday so I won't overwork myself anymore.  Here's to taking it easy. . . 

A few more climbing pics

It seems like I've been falling off of this climb forever Mike, but this weekend I felt close. Hopefully sometime this winter when we go back I'll get it.

It's called the Waltz (12d) and it is at Turtle Cave in St. George. Here goes the crux:

First move, big and easy

Then throw up and left to an edge and do a big move out to a gastone.

Here is the hard part for me. Mostly because I am uncoordinated. Hit this little edge 1/8" ish and flat.

At this point you are home free!
Scott did an amazing job on Actual Parchment (13b). Fell off the top like 80 times but that means he'll do it easy next time.

Extreme Hammoking

So we went to St. George this weekend and did some extreme hammocking. Alisa got some serious reading done. I thought it was kinda cute.

Halloween at Stampin Up

So we were Dorothy and her Munchkins (lollipop guild) for Halloween at work. We didn't even go all out. Check out what other people did.
