Hey, if anyone knows any seniors let them know I will do senior pictures for free! all they need is a CD for the edits!!

CHrisTmas Time!!

I finally decided to put up a tree.... I had my other stuff out but we are Putting down tile starting today, so I didn't want a big tree in the way. BUT, I needed a tree up so I got an idea.... Here is how it turned out.....

Eventful Day!

Today was a very Eventful day. And because these pictures didnt upload in order for some reason, I am not going to tell you in order... not that you care or anything... Any ways, Here is Mckin Dress up in her polar bear coat, and Adorable bonett, Spenser Grandma made! We were going to go let grizz play in the snow in pine valley, but ended up at the dog park instead... either way it was cold and she was all nice and bundled up!!

Earlier today I was looking online at some bows.... and well I tried to make one.. it is so big its halarious on her tiny chuncker baby head!
Here is the bow close up....
Today, I also decided to add some finishing touches to her room. I made some pillows for her crib. Made a M for her dresser, and finished the Stuff hanging one her wall..

Spenser also sent me FLOWERS today!! What a loving husband I have! I put them in Mckin's room because I thought they matched perfectly! What a fun day!

ANY ONE??

Okay so I am broke and thinking of ways to get a little extra cash for the holidays... So I was thinking if anyone need some Christmas pictures done I will do them!

Haleymariephotos.blogspot.com I have new pics, check them out...

HAppy ThanksGiving!

Thanksgiving was amazing! We went up to my grandparents with my whole family! We had about 30 wonderful family members there. It is so crazy to see my family grow and bring such amazing people into our lives. Its weird to think thanksgiving used to be the "big people table" and the "kid table". This Thanksgiving there were just 3 Huge tables, two for the kids (and their spouses, and girlfriends!) and one for the parents... It is so amazing how something so big and amazing and AWESOME, started just for one Small town boy, and one smaller town girl fell in love! I am so grateful for my family and SO proud of them! Every single one of them is amazingly talented in there own way. Cousins going to BYU, and the U, Some are so crafty, One got a 34 on their ACT, and one is the most AMazing Skate border i have ever SEEN!! They are all so awesome! any ways.. My grandma finally got to see my little mckinners and here is a picture of the 4 generation...


in other news, I painted my wall this weekend! I am planning on redoing my living room.. Well i am going to redo my whole house! I have just starting in my living room. I painted the wall and I am getting all new EVERYTHING! so let me know if there is anything you want in there! And I am selling the couches! so if you need some couch and chair let me know! haha

I was a little bored today, so I decided to try some Christmas Pictures with little McKinley. They turned out pretty fun. She is getting so big I can't believe it! And she is so strong. she holds her head up just fine, when she's on her stomach she puts her head up and looks around, and she almost rolled over today!! That is not normal for a 5 week old baby. She is such a blessing! and of course we love her more then anything!

MOM

So, having McKinley is so much fun! She is an awesome baby! She is still alittle confused about day and night, but we are working on that.. She is getting better.. She is so amazing! I couldn't imagine life without her! She is my little zoolander, haha she loves making the "blue steel" face! it is halarious! here are some pics of her the past few weeks, and some blue steel shots! haha

Blue steel!

my favorite!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

It was McKinley's first halloween! Which she pretty much slept threw.. We went over to the Achibalds house and passed out candy. Little Mckinley was the cutest little flower. Of course, because we weren't at home she peed on her onesie, and puked all over my bee tutu. So, for half the night she was just in her flower, and I was all wet! Haha, but it was the best halloween ever! I love my little flower!

Lee was frankinstean.... I didnt even notice he was way taller then normal! I guess because I am always lookin up at him anyways...

Everyone dress up, except party pooper spenser!

I think Mckinley Enjoyed her first Halloween!

One week....

ONE WEEK, til my due date! YEAY! But I went to the doctor today, and she doesn't want to come out.. I am not dilalated at all. she is very content in there. hopefully this week it will change, I am ready to see our little girl so we can name her! hopefully my next post is pictures of her...

Baby Dress!

Yesterday, I was bored and got the idea that I want to try to make a dress... I didn't have a pattern or anything, but I figured it would be easy... It wasn't so EASY! But, after getting frustrated a few times and rethinking my strategy I ended up with a pretty cute Dress! And a flower and Headband to match! Yeay..

Okay, so I have 23 days til my due date! Crazy, I am so excited for so meny reasons. I can lay on my stomach! I won't be sick any more (hopefully). I know I will be exasted, but I would trade being sick for being tired any day! I still need to find a Pediatrician, so if any one has heard of any one good let me know. my ankles haven't gotten swollen. That is, I think the only good thing right now. I am ready to POP! haha

This pic is actually from a month ago... haha I am bigger now..

YESTERDAY!

Yesterday was a pretty eventful day. I got up first thing and got a spa pedicure. It was the best thing ever! After that I finally got my car cleaned. YEAY! clean car! After spending what felt like forever in my car, I got an Idea to make something... so i headed to roberts to get some fall leaves, berrys, and acorns.... And made this......

After finishing my M, spenser came home and we went to look at cars.. I was very close to getting a brand new CUBE. But, the numbers just werent right... so we decided not to get a new car.. on the way out, I spotted A used white vehicle, It was cute, very nice, suv style, leather seats, and preowned buy and older couple (and that was odvious it still looks brand new). I decided to test drive it, and fell inlove! So I had to have it!! Leather is great for spilling on, Its a little higher then my car so its easier to but the carseat in, and NO TRUNK! so i can't stuff things there anymore. haha! Now I am ready to be a mom!

MY QUILT!!

I am so excited! I am almost done with my QUILT! All I have left is the the quilting!! yeay! I can't wait til it is competely finished!

INSTALLING A HUSBAND!

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 andnoticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance --particularly in the flower and jewelry applications,which operatedflawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuableprograms, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and theninstalled undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0, and Golf Clubs4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simplycrashes the system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix theseproblems, but to no avail..

What can I do?

Signed, Desperate


Dear Desperate:

First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package,while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: 'IThought You Loved Me.exe' and try to download Tears 6.2 and don't forgetto install the Guilt 3.0 update.

If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should thenautomatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs avirus in the background that will eventually seize control of all yoursystem resources).

Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program.These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does havelimited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You mightconsider buying additional software to improve memory and performance.We recommend Food 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,

Tech Support

FUN!!

These are so much fun to make! Seriously!

New Flowers!

So, today while I was procrastinating everything I was suppose to do today (Clean the bathrooms, change my sheets, the laundry, the dishes, work on my baby quilt) I figured out a fun way to make flowers out of fabric! And some with ribbon! They turned out really cute. (at least I think so) So I am making quite a few for my baby girl!! YEaY (which by the way now Spenser loves the name Taylor, and I don't think he is letting this one go, He loves it) I am making them in every color!! If you would like one let me know because I have a feeling I am not going to be able to stop making these... I love THEM!

STUPID DOG!!!!!

I got my crib delivered yesterday! In a Huge box, taller then me. But we couldn't open it yet because we had Ryans (brother inlaw) birthday dinner to go to. We were gone maybe an hour and a half and we come home to a house full of 3 inch pieces of cardboard! Grizz had wripped the whole box apart!! The first thing I saw was a piece of chewed wood... ... I started to ball, and I ran into my room shut the door and got in the bath (that is a good place to cry). While is socked in the tub, spenser cleaned up the mess. After He cleaned up he came in and told me it wasn't that bad. But I wasn't about to go out there and see what he had done to my crib. I was too pissed! I would have killed that dumb dog or maybe just put him out front and just left him to run away.... So, because of the things I was thinking to do to grizz, I stayed in the bedroom and went to sleep. The next morning (this morning) I woke up ready to see what I was going to have to fix..... Turns out Grizz only chewed on the wood that doesn't show. So, After I spent hours putting it together (I can't beleive how meny parts its came in, some was competely unneseccary) None of the teeth marks show... He is one lucky dog!

NAMES

Okay so Spenser and I don't really agree on any names.. So We need some help! I told spenser I would put the names on here and have people vote.. I am not going to tell you who likes what name, just let me know what you like better.
1-Ellcie
2-Emery
3-Emerson
4-Abbigail

Now its time to move on to the next project for the baby's room! Painting Frames! haha let me know if you have been dieing to be painting frames and I will happily let you help....
