the past month....

2011-01-19T22:15:00.000-08:00

Okay... where do I start...
First, A few weeks ago Mckinley and I both got the flu. Mine was about 24 hours.. Mckinleys.. 2 WEEKS! She wouldn't eat and puked anything I would get her to eat.. She also had a rash.. here is a photo of her face...

It was not fun having a puking baby.. and yes I did get puked on numerous times.. and I learned my tank top and bra was a wonderful vomit catcher...

Any ways, she got better and started being happy again.. and she eats better then she ever did!

In other news Mckinleys hair is long enough for a ponytail!

I thought is looked so cute.. but my sister said it looked like a greasy, tree hugging man pony.

Here is yet another photo with the beloved tooth brush..

we have been going to the park lately since the weather has been nice. and Mckinley LOVES it.

This is karcyn. She will be one in a few weeks and they love eachother!

Mckin tried to get on some little girls bike.. Spenser was very proud! hahaha

Little Rylee bug! I love this photo of her. This is Mckinleys other friend.

Mckinley didnt quite understand the slide...

karcyn has found her own way of getting around... walking on her knees.. you can see her little trail..

this is at the park by our house! Mckin Loves the swings....

I don't know what she was doing here.. but it made me laugh.

So that is about it for now... But I am going to try to get back in this blogging thing! so there will be more soon!

no time!!!!

2010-12-06T20:17:00.000-08:00

Mckinley is so funny! So LOVES accessories!! Hats, glasses, necklaces, SHOES, and anything you can think of. She is such a girly girl.

She is a Screamer.... and she thinks it is hilarious!! I don't....

hopefully i will have some more time soon! But I do like being busy! I love what I do!

2010-11-04T15:27:00.000-07:00

Mckinley Marie turned ONE on Oct. 19th! We had a fun birthday, and she enjoyed it. It is so crazy she is one.. It seems like just yesterday I was in the hospital... But at the same time it feels like she has been in my life for ever! I love her so much, she is such a funny ball of sunshine!
A few things to remember:

The Quilt Retreat was a blast! I am so glad I got to go.. I didn't get much quilting done (Mckinley didn't want to quilt.) But I did learn some fun blocks. I can't wait to get them finished. And I took Mckinley swimming for the first time. She did really know what to do about it. But, I think she liked it.
It was Quite the weekend At Ruby's inn, too much to tell everything but here are a few things I learned....

~Mckinley likes Oranges...
~Fans and fireplaces will make a VERY smokey room...
~family is EVERYTHING
~I can make elderly women laugh...
~Quilting lights are not just for night time...
~a pouncer is not someone that pounces on you..
~I lose everything!!!

last few weeks.....

2010-01-25T12:13:00.001-08:00

Sadly, this weekend was our last weekend with Grizz. He decided it was best for him if he was with a family with a yard. The family we found lives up north with a big yard. They have a 12 year old girl, Grizz will be her dog. So Grizz will have a best friend who will play with him all the time! We were sad to see him go, but I have to say, I LOVE not cleaning up hair!! And the SMELL is almost gone!!! YEAY! We will miss you Grizz, But not your shedding!

Also, A few weeks ago we took a trip to Fontana California. Very fun.... but not! haha. Spenser had a race there so we rented a RV and Drove there with Mckin, Ryan, Eric, and Angie... oh and Grizz!!! haha What a mess! It was fun, but I dont think will be doing that again anytime soon. But fontana was beautiful! ABout 80 Degrees the whole weekend! McKinley loved the sun!!

Here she is in the RV..

And Also, in these last few weeks, Mckinley Marie Turned 3 MONTHS! I can't beleive it. I am so excited to watch her grow..
*She smiles all the time!!
*Laughs at Chelsea Lately, and Cassidy (my sister) Beatboxing!
*She has found her hands and is Contantly eating her whole fist!!
*She has resently started rubbing her eyes when she is tired... So cute!
*She loves to stand!
*she LOVES the Bumbo!
*She mostly sleeps Threw the night.. (10-4 eats the 4:15-9:30)
I can't wait to see what else she learns!! I love being a Mom!!

For April... 10 things you didn't know about me!

2010-01-20T20:29:00.000-08:00

1. Right now I am typing this one handed because McKinley loves watching me type.

2. I am deathly afraid of some one coming into my house and shooting me in my bed! It has gotten worse since Kinley was born.

3. I am even more afraid of the dark! If you looked me in a dark room alone with no sound I would have a panic attack!! Thing come out in the dark!!

4. I have ADHD and have already left the room and come back. I can't do one thing for too long! that is why I am always making different things. but get bored with it really easily. and forget things. I right things everyday in my "to do" list, but i have never checked or a whole list before, I always get side tracked. Some people think its funny but I really get frustrated when I can't remember things and I wish I could focus! I used to be on medicine in High school so I could sit through a class but the meds. made me depressed so I stopped taking them.

5. I am not a good reader. I slow and sometimes have to reread to understand what I read. It takes time for me to get myself focused on words.

6. I HATE the beach! The sand is too itchy, crabs freak me out, and ocean water is so salty is Gross!!!

7. I SNORE! pretty loud too!!

8. I Hate loud music! I fact if you get in my car, there will usually be no music on at all! I don't like to listen to music much. only when I am really in the mood! I have 50 songs on my Ipod and I have had it for 2 years.....

9. I love SVU! but I sometimes get too wrapped up in it, and get nervous that it could happen to me!

10. I love to pick zits! and black heads! ecessially spensers!!!

there you go ten things... every one do this! I want to know ten things about you!!

Mckinleys Blessing!

2010-01-03T14:09:00.000-08:00

Mckinley Marie was blessed today! It was such an awesome experience! I am so grateful that my dad could bless her for us! He did an amazing job! And she wore my blessing dress, which I have to say, make its that much more special! What a FAntastic day!

HAppy ThanksGiving!

2009-11-29T20:04:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-24T16:38:00.000-08:00

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!

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

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2009-11-02T09:47:00.000-08:00

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!

Baby Dress!

2009-10-02T10:09:00.000-07:00

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..

2009-09-22T07:11:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-09-10T07:11:00.000-07:00

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!!

2009-09-03T09:12:00.000-07:00

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!

2009-09-03T07:28:00.000-07:00

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!!

2009-08-15T18:07:00.001-07:00

These are so much fun to make! Seriously!

New Flowers!

2009-08-13T17:34:00.000-07:00

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!!!!!

2009-08-07T16:29:00.001-07:00

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

2009-08-04T09:12:00.000-07:00

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.

If you have a color you want or an outfit to match, I can make one for you! Just tell me what what color, style, and size you want and I can do it!
This one is made with 1930's reproduction fabrics and Yo-Yo's that were popular in the 30's and 40's!

This is the first one I made.. Just fun colors and Fabric in between the flowers.

This is one of my favorites! The Damask print with any color of flower I love!

I love Bright! This is the brightest one if have and I love the orange in it!

Orange is awesome for summer!!

This is the Damask print again but its a smaller band.

2009-05-29T13:49:00.000-07:00

One of my friends and I have been talking about making head bands. Mostly for her..... i am not much of a headband girl myself. so I decided to make some for babies..... here is a picture of one i just finished.... my little girls first headband.. hahhaa

CRAZY WEEKEND!

2009-05-27T08:16:00.000-07:00

Memorial weekend was deffinently eventful. Saturday, Spenser and I drove to Vegas for my cousins wedding! which was beautiful, and had AMAZING FOOD!! After spending a few hours there we drove home at about 10. I fell asleep and woke up in my worst FEAR! Spenser had ran out of gas..... in the gorge!! at 11:50 at NIGHT! Spenser got out and tried to find sevice while i sat in the truck and cried.... (i am pregnant and terrified of being stuck somewhere with no service! as far as i new we were going to die!) you never know what could happen what if some one didn't see spense walking around and turned a little too tight around a turn and hit him. of what if the slammed into the whole truck. or what if some crazy person driving though saw the advantage to kill to innocent people! Or Just spenser but made me watch! or what if some one just decided to kill spenser and i was stuck there all alone with a dead husband! or what if freaky hills have eyes people came down from the cliffs and ate us! or.... i could go on for hours!! I was TERRIFED!
After about 20minutes of finding service Spenser got ahold of his friend Jake! YEAY! and jake got up from bed and brought us GAS!! MY HERO!! Thanks JAKE!
After that long horrible night, sunday morning we got up at 4:30 to drive to sundance for spensers downhill racing. And I got the privliege of sitting in the back with grizz! (who doesnt know how to share the back seat!!) When we got there it was frezzing and raining! But spenser had to practice! So he did a few runs and beat him self up, sliding every which way in the mud.. and he broke his new helmet! (at least it wasnt his head) Finally we checked into our hotel and we went to dinner.... and got to bed around ten... only to get up at 6. to get to the race! Monday was a beautiful day. and of course i got fried! But after all of that CRAP... Spenser ended up getting second place! YEAY FOR SPENSER!! good for him!

Fattie me, Spense, Austin, and our little pup grizz.

WHY MEN ARE NEVER DEPRESSED!

2009-05-15T08:01:00.000-07:00

Men Are Just Happier People-- What do you expect from such simple creatures? Your last name stays put. The garage is all yours. Wedding plans take care of themselves Chocolate is just another snack. You can be President.. You can never be pregnant. You can wear a white T-shirt to a water park. You can wear NO shirt to a water park. Car mechanics tell you the truth. The world is your urinal. You never have to drive to another gas station restroom because this one is just too icky. You don't have to stop and think of which way to turn a nut on a bolt. Same work, more pay. Wrinkles add character. Wedding dress $5000. Tux rental-$100. People never stare at your chest when you're talking to them. New shoes don't cut, blister, or mangle your feet.. One mood all the time. Phone conversations are over in 30 seconds flat. You know stuff about tanks. A five-day vacation requires only one suitcase. You can open all your own jars. You get extra credit for the slightest act of thoughtfulness. If someone forgets to invite you, he or she can still be your friend. Your underwear is $8.95 for a three-pack. Three pairs of shoes are more than enough. You almost never have strap problems in public.. You are unable to see wrinkles in your clothes.. Everything on your face stays its original color. The same hairstyle lasts for years, maybe decades.. You only have to shave your face and neck. You can play with toys all your life. One wallet and one pair of shoes -- one color for all seasons. You can wear shorts no matter how your legs look. You can 'do' your nails with a pocket knife. You have freedom of choice concerning growing a mustache. You can do Christmas shopping for 25 relatives on December 24 in 25 minutes.No wonder men are happier.

A bowtie!! What do ya think?

2009-05-12T07:59:00.000-07:00

She Can Do IT!!!

The Search Is Over!!

And can You guess Who this is?? on the OFFICE...

2009-03-18T08:19:00.000-07:00

HEllo! It has been awhile since I have blogged anything. That is because sitting at the computer for that long made me very sick! Haha! But I think I am on my way to the good side now! I am not as sick... and I am sick less times for the day. YEAY!! I have showered!!!! and I shaved my legs!! HURRAY!! I have even had enough strength to start cleaning again!!! (my poor house) I have started pucking a little more, but I am sick less!

Since I haven't blogged we have done a few ( not much) but a few things, so here are some pictures!

First, Spenser raced his rhino in winkenburg Arizona. He got fourth in his category and 10th out of everyone! way to go spenser! It was amazing he even got to race, because the might before the race spenser wanted to get to know the land and test out his ride. One of the axis' broke mid turn and whipped them right into a very large 25ft. cactus! They got it back to camp and realised we need parts..... so we drove to prescott (about 90miles away) to spensers friend Lance's house to get what they needed. We got back around 11 so it was too dark to work. so even though the race started at 11 the next morning, they decided to wait til morning! When they got up they had about 3 hours to take off, relube, and put back the whole left side!!! They started working as fast as they could, and they finished with no time to waste... not even a test drive!

Here they are trying to finish before the race begins.... this is about 20 minutes before they had to me there!!! I really thought they werent going to make it!

But they made it!! it was unbelieveable!

And off they go!!!

A few weekends after that I got to do Jessica and Jasons Engagment Pictures! It was so much fun, and they are adorable together! And here in a few week we are doing there bridals! that will be so much fun! I can't wait! her dress is gorgous!! And she is wearing TURQUOISE shoes!!! SO FUN!!

TAgged!

2009-02-17T11:31:00.000-08:00

So I guess there is a game on blogs where someone tags you and you have to put up the 4th picture of the forth file on to the blog! and I was tagged by Jessica Mangum.. my picture is not too fun! its just my car when I wanted to sell it last year.

Interesting Doctors App.

2009-02-07T06:30:00.000-08:00

So about the pass month or so I had been feeling sick; diarriha, neausa, weird pains. Every time I ate I would feel that way. So, I googled it (of course) and it came up with chronic neausa after eating. And it matched everything that was happening. So I decided to make a doctors app. to see if that is what I had, and if there was something I could take or do to stop it. They got me in as soon as they could (they said it sounded serious). Friday morning I went to my app. And I got to do some fun test... haha not.... Then to doctor turned to me and said.. "Have you taken a pregnancy test?" "Well no." I repiled. Of course I wasnt pregnant. That didn't even pop in my head, not to mention I hadn't missed mother natures gift yet... At least I thought I hadn't. So odvoiusly after that answer I was told to pee in a cup. I waited for a few minutes, then the doctor came in am said "you are about 4 weeks along!" HOLY WHAT?!! yep. for weeks! haha so I guess I am prego! Crazy! We were not expecting it but we are very excited! YEAY!!!

Not Much Has happened....

2009-01-30T09:17:00.000-08:00

Okay so I haven't "blogged" in a while... but nothing has really happened. The only thing that has changed in my life is my hair color.... (haha this is what happened when I am left alone for too long.....

So Other Then the Brunette hair... nothing has happened in my life! But my Awesome little sister Cassidy seems to be changing every day.. its seems like just yesterday she was out skateboarding and begging me to teach her how to curl her hair (okay so she hasn't boarded in a while but the hair part.. haha that was yesterday) But now she is turning in to a beautiful young woman (sorry dad). She ran cross country and got 7th in region, she is now running track and is amazing at it, she only needs one and a half credits to gratuate and she is a junior ( I wish she could have shared her credits with me.. that would have helped me alot haha) and this prom she was in junior prom royalty. She has done so good for herself, and I am very proud of her! She could achieve anything and she will excel in everything she tries. (exept for hair... haha sorry cass, that is just not your forte.) But here are some pictures from Prom of Cassidy. She looks so beautiful! (p.s. I did her hair... haha....)

Cassidy's Pictures

2008-11-30T08:02:00.000-08:00

Friday, my parents were still in Vegas and my sister, Cassidy, came home early from my Grandmas (She hitched a ride up, she wanted her traditional thanksgiving), So she spent the night at spenser and I's home. It was so much fun having her around, we watch get smart, and I talked her in to letting me take some pictures of her! That was great fun! They Aren't the best, I really want a nice camera for christmas! Hint hint, Santa.... But here some are, Because I want so show my hot sister OFF! AOH AOH!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

2008-11-29T20:29:00.000-08:00

This Thanksgiving was the first Thanksgiving I have ever had not at my Grandmas, not with my cousins, and not with my PARENTS! And I have to say, I was a little nevious at first. My parents went for Vegas for a totally nontraditional thanksgiving (my brother had a pigskin game...football) so there was no chance in going with them, and we were not driving up north, therefore.... No Grandma... It was Spenser's Parents turn anyways, but it was my first Thanksgiving without my family... so you can see I was a little sceptical. But it turns out Everything was great! There was even a Traditional Thanksgiving day family fight!! I don't know about every one else but thats deffinently is a tradition in my family! ususally between my sometimes say to much aunt, and my very short fused mother... This year spenser made me feel right at home when him and his older brother got into a joking gone worng tiff... IT WAS GREAT!! Now theres the Thanksgiving Spirit!! They got over that fast and it was so much fun spending the holiday with my new family! Oh and of course the FOOD was amazing! I am definently greatful to have such an awesome new family (greatful... you know.. cause its thanksgiving...) It was AWESOME!! I hope there rest of the year goes just a good! happy holidays!

I also made a new friend.... spensers... niece... Kind of.. Vanessa!

So I know most people aren't putting christmas decor up for a little bit... and I do LOVE thanksgiving, I am not forgeting about that! HAPPY THANKSGIVING! But I also LOVE Christmas DECOR!!! Christmas is deffinently NOT my favorite holiday... I don't like the selfishness it bring out of lots for kids and adults! Not to mention my birthday is December 24th! I get gipped every year. And everyone watching me open the few presents I have (or picked whether to open it on my b-day because it was a Birthday/christmas present) are only thinking 'humm.. I wonder what I will get tomorrow... oh that's cool... I wonder if I will get something like that!'. There is also a wonderful tradition in my family...... everyone gets to open one present the night before Christmas.... MY BIRTHDAY!! So I get to watch people open a present on MY BIRTHDAY!! anyways enough with my feelings towards Christmas.. As much as I don't like the holiday, I love decorating for it! That is my favorite. Its been eating at my ever since i got a ton of stuff at my old job (interior elements) 75% off the day after Christmas! So I couldn't help my self any long... They had to come out! so Here is a picture of my project last night! and it only took about 30 min. to make! But that is just the begin!!!

2008-10-26T18:25:00.000-07:00

This Saturday was Debbie (my mother-in-laws) Birthday.. So Spenser and I spent the day Carving pumpkins for her party, (she had a pumpkin carving party) With Spensers Brothers, and their wives. It was fun being with the fam. His brother, Bryan, from SLC was in town as well, who by the way has the cutest daughter I have ever seen! She has the cutest personality. They Hadn't seen any pictures from the wedding yet so I pulled some up on the computer so they could see the ones of Libby (Bryan and Amy's daughter.) And the First thing Libby says is "Oh I look soo pretty in my wedding dress." She was a flower girl (one of the ones on my top picture picking up their peddles they droped....) And loves her "wedding" dress! She wears all the time to church, and tells every one about her wedding dress! She is a doll!! Anyways We were carving pumpkins and here are some pictures for my pumpkins..... He got a little... sick..

2008-10-24T07:04:00.000-07:00

This week Bella went to the Groomers.... She had got something stuck in her hair and her ears were just too matted, so...... She turned out like this. Ha Ha, I feel Bad but her hair will grow back and she will be cute again. I guess for a little while I will just have a Chihauhua!

Other then that nothing excited has been happening. I am just slowly getting ready for Christmas! I decided to start buying decor. now so its not as much money all at once... I just can't wait to start putting the stuff OUT!!

2008-10-18T18:13:00.000-07:00

2008-10-17T08:04:00.000-07:00

So Spenser Had to go out of town to do some doors, and he had to stay over night. Therefore, i was home... all alone! which sucked! But me and one of my friends decided to go take some fun pictures to pass the time (her other half was also gone) And This is what we ended up with... Now we definently arent Gideon... but I think they turned out pretty fun... considering we did them in thirty minutes, chasing the sun, and threw some last minute outfits together....

I think I get it now..

2008-10-14T07:40:00.000-07:00

Okay so I think I have got how to use it. And now that i know.... I have to admit... Its kind of fun! So spenser and I, as you know, were married August twenty-3rd 2008. Nothing really exciting has happened since that... Except, I recantly quit My wonderful, well paying job as an oral surgeons assistant, to work as a designer/delivery girl at a flower shop, where I get paid almost half as much... Now some of you might think I am completely crazy, but i have decided that i want to do something I love and I am trying to find that. I want a job that I love and I can be happy doing for... pretty much ever. So that is why I have decided to work at the flower shop, bloomers (who did my flowers for my wedding! they are wonderful!), go to hair school, and take some college classes! Ha ha.... It should be interesting, but I am detemined to find the career for me!

Any ways, enough about that! We have had one other little change... We have added a new member to the fam.... GRIZZ! bella needed a little brother. We took him to his first vet app. and at six weeks he weighed 16.5lbs. (bella at a yr. weighing 7.4lbs) Oh and he is a Saint Bernard! Ha Ha and he is definently going to be a challenge.... for spenser.. he's not my dog!

One more thing!!!
