WOW!

Okay! So I can't believe that Christmas is already over, but it will be in my heart all year long as I try and do the project for next year! I have scanned over 3,500 pictures over the last 4 days and it is fun, but overwhelming because I still have soo much to do... I know everyone is going to get sick of hearing about my picture project... so sorry! I just am trying so hard to get as many pictures scanned as I can before the audits at work and school starts on the 12th! It was fun seeing a bunch of you around Christmas at Alli's shower. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and has a fun New Years!

Crazy Month~

These past few weeks have been crazy ones. With finals & getting ready for Christmas it has been crazy! Tonight is my last final!! YEAH!! I am so glad this semester will be over because it has been a crazy one! On Sunday I stayed in Pocatello, so that I did not have to get up at 4am & drive to Pocatello for my exam at 7am. It was suppose to be a cumulative exam so I studied for 3 hours on the first 6 chapters...needless to say their were only 2 question on the exam! Bummer... I just hope I passed his class. Tuesday I had another final & had gotten together with one of my friends from class & we studied a total of 10 plus hours over the weekend & then I left work at 2:30 to study some more! I checked my email before I left work, but there were no email's from the teacher. I went over to the school & studied more & I felt really good about this test, because I wanted to get a good grade in the class. The test was suppose to start at 6pm everyone was there except one student & the teacher. We waited around for half an hour before someone checked their email. He had emailed us at 2:40 that the test was cancelled due to weather conditions & his "beater" car. I was happy that it was over, but furious that I had studied so much. Then a couple of weeks ago my week went like this...Monday-sick& missed a test Tuesday- my coworkers mom died Wednesday- went & made up the test & got a parking ticket Thursday- my brother went to the doctor & that same day they did a catscan to check & see if he had a tumor.(We got test results back a week later & he doesn't have a tumor Thank goodness) Friday- my coworker's mom's funeral. That week I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown because I still had school with all of that going on. So even though my grades aren't going to be as good as I would have liked them to be it's ok because there are more important things in life. Besides all of this I have been working on a big Christmas project for next year...DVD for my siblings. I am scanning, scanning, and scanning pictures that we have of when we were growing up. I think so far I have scanned over 4,000 pictures & still have it seems like 10,000 to go! I am seperating them by child & scrapbooking them all on my favorite website for this (scrapblog.com) and then I am putting them on a DVD to music so that their kids can see what they were like growing up. I am also putting all of our home video's and dare video's on DVD for them as well. I wanted to have it done for this Christmas, but next year it will be done! I started doing DVD when my neice McKayla was born. I did two her first 6 months & then I did one for her for her birthday. I am going to do this for her every year! I also did one for my brother's 30th, my brother's wedding, my coworker's mom's 80th (it was in October & I also went & took pictures...last one's ever taken, I feel very fortunate to be able to take them) I also just got done with one for my mom's friend for her siblings & kids with her parents on it. Her parents are both gone & she has the pictures of them growing up and through the years the DVD turned out great! I am also working on one now for my grandpa's 80th~ Anyways I better get back to studying, I can't wait to see you all for Christmas!

Holiday Season

I hope everyone is doing well! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and everyone will be at our house! It will be fun~ I am going to take pictures of McKayla in her Christmas dress! Things have been a little bit crazy~ finals are coming and I am trying to get all of the projects done before I go back! Kaylie was up here for a couple of days so we were able to hang out! It was so much fun & then I got to take some really cute pictures of her kids! I wish that everyone lived closer so that we could get together and take everyone's family pictures. Hope everyone has a great holiday! I hope to also see everyone at Christmas time...

Update...

Well I haven't posted for a while... my apologies...things have been crazy for me! School is crazy & I can't wait until next semester. I had to drop out of my tax class... I just had too much going (16 credits and working full time), so I was pretty disappointed in myself, but I had to do it & next semester will be better! On October 26th it was my birthday & I turned 24. Wow~ I feel a lot older, not just because of my birthday but just life itself! I have definitely been keeping busy with everything going on and I will be excited for a break at Thanksgiving.. I definitely need a vacation soon! McKayla is very cute and lately has been very excited to hang out with her auntie! On Halloween she came into my work to see me & she wanted to stay...she has never done that, I think it had to do with the candy we had, because she is a mama's girl! I was excited that she wanted to stay with me. The other day I took a paper over to my brothers house and she came running over to me and I picked her up and she told her parents bye-bye, I was so sad that I had to go to work & couldn't take her with me... I think taking a child to daycare would be extremely hard to do! Anyways everything else is going good~ Hope everyone else is doing well~

Picture update!

Check out Candra's Pix for updates! The kids are Kaylie's sisters & neice & nephews... Enjoy! The family is one of my favorite families ever! They look so cute~

Picture update

Check out Candra's pix for an update! Here is a sneak peak of the pictures that I have taken & finally gotten them updated!!

Catch up!

Happy Halloween everyone! I have been tagged by two different people for two different things, so those I will get done first & then post another update for later. Life is definitely crazy and not showing any signs of slowing down! I really wish that it would slow down so that I could catch my breath. This is a picture of my niece in her Halloween costume that auntie Candra bought for her! She looks so cute~her daddy is a bronco's fan so she is too. Then she has the matching bracelet & bow!







This is the first tag... Carlie tagged me to post the 6th picture in the 6th folder on my computer! It ended up being one of myself instead of McKayla, which is amazing since a lot of pictures are her! I have been trying to scan all of my mom's picture so that I can put together DVD's for my family, anyways this is one of me when we went to Canada when I was little... I tag anyone who wants to try!


Seven Random things about me!

Angie tagged me to give 7 random things about myself...


1. I hate spiders!! I am so deathly afraid of the things and how appropriate it being halloween and all! Even little ones freak me out. I can't even imagine when I have a place of my own and have to figure out how to get rid of them. Maybe I will have to call my little brother to come and kill it he would do anything for me right Adrian?? (this is a cute spider though)

2. Speaking of Adrian...I do love him now, but when he was born...I totally took all of my stuffed animals & brushed their teeth. My mom had just gotten home from the hospital after having a c-section & nobody was watching me, so I took my toothbrush & tooth paste & brushed their teeth... They will never let me live it down!



3. I have a lot of movies... Kids, chickflicks, action, and even tv shows... I know it's crazy!


4. I love prison break! It is my favorite TV show ever! And it comes on Fox every Monday night which by the way is usually when my night classes are scheduled...good thing we have a DVR on our tv to record it & this season is one of the best yet!


5. My favorite name for a little girl is Madalyn it has been my favorite name since I was 6 or 7, and when we would play house I would name my kids Madalyn & Elizabeth... I've grown out of Elizabeth, but I am still in love with the name Madalyn. Madalyn Kay will be the name of my little girl... hopefully it will be ok with whoever I marry.
6.I hate my hair! It is naturally curly, so a lot of people think I am very lucky, but I hate it! I feel like I am always trying to tame a wild beast. I got it from my grandma on my dad's side Lucky me!

7. I love shoes! My sister says I have OCD over stiletto shoes! I love them! It has been more difficult to wear really cute shoes lately because I walk a lot on campus & up 4 flights of stairs everyday! Here is a picture of my niece trying one of my shoes on!


I tag anyone who would like to do this~ it was kinda fun trying to think of random things!
Will post more later!!

Crazy couple of weeks!

The Last couple of weeks have been a little bit crazy! I have been keeping very busy with work & school & picture taking! Last weekend alone I had 4 sessions! Another thing that happened was Wayne Richards of KLCE (radio station 97.3) died. It has been so sad but also very cool to see all of the "Drive Safely Wayne" signs around town. There is even a big billboard on Yellowstone for him. Very touching.

Last weekend I took a break from the busy schedule & saw Nights in Rodanthe! Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors & I had read the book. It is a great movie~ Very sad~ I am also in my spare time reading his new book The Lucky One~~

The following are a preview of the pictures I had taken last weekend~ Check out candraspix for a full view of the pictures~ Hopefully the ones I took this weekend I will get up there real soon! We even did our family pictures! Amazing with the crazy schedule all of us have~ especially me~ I also got to go to LeAnn Rimes! She is amazing & so down to earth I love her voice! Anyways hope all is well for everyone! I will post again soon!

4 weeks down!

Wow!! Thank goodness 4 weeks down!! If only I didn't have so many more weeks to go! School is absolutely crazy! I have two exams this coming week~I am not looking forward to! Things have been pretty good! I had another crazy Tuesday~ this time it was my tax book that cost $150.00 was missing 50 pages!! AHHH! I better not have any more bad Tuesday's! It comes in threes & I have had my three so I should be done right? I have also been busy taking pictures~ I did a soccer kid & wow sports shots are harder than I thought... they turned out cute.. here is a preview & then check out Candra's Pix for more! Have a great week...

Life is Crazy!

Well it has been a couple of weeks... lots has happened! I had a scary experience last Tuesday. It was late at night and I was coming back from class & stopped at a red light. The light turned green & I started to go, when I had a strong feeling to look to the right, just as I did there was a car that had run their red light and I was about to hit them head on. Angels must have been watching over me, because I was able to stop my car without hitting the other car. It was a very scary experience, but I am grateful I did not hit the other car, because I can't even imagine what could have happened. School & work are keeping me busy as usual. The drive to Pocatello 4 days a week is getting very old very fast! I have still been taking pictures & I just posted some

on my other site from a couple of weeks ago, but here is a preview! There just aren't enough hours in the day!



My family & I also just went to Cats yesterday at the Colonial theatre in Idaho Falls. The Broadway musical from New York came here! It was an awesome show! It only played twice, once on Friday night & once on Saturday~ both were sold out shows! They were amazing~ even though I didn't get to go to New York to see them it was still a great show! One day I want to go to New York to see a musical on Broadway! Well this week is just as busy as most, but I will keep you updated!!
P.S. Here are some more pictures of my little cute niece!

What a week!

Well school started on Monday & what a week it has been! Monday started bright and early at 5:30 am. Way too early! My schedule went like this... Monday I had accouting 323 at 8am in Pocatello and then I have to drive back go to work & then I have 2 classes in IF at 5pm BA 400 & MGT 460 & get home about 10:30. Tuesday also starts bright and early at 5am. I have accounting 331Tax class;( and then I drive back for work & have class at 6pm which is Finance 478. Wednesday are about the same as Monday & Thursday is the same as Tuesday except I have Business Law in Pocatello at night! So it has been crazy~ but I will get through it! I also got some super cute pictures of Kaylies kids! They are so cute~ check out more of them on Candra's pix. I also have more photoshoots to come so keep checking for new photos! At least I have a break from school tomorrow to be able to get caught up on my homework for the week to come, but I will at least try to keep up on my blog!

Where does time go?

Well~ time has flown this past week and a half... I took vacation from work & went to Boise for 3 days last week & this week I was suppose to go to Oregon, but that didn't happen (I will get to see the ocean someday). I did get a lot done this week though! I had a lot to do to get ready for school & I took McKayla for a day & took her to Applebees with a friend for lunch & she was so good! She had applesauce & macaroni & cheese! She loves hanging out with her auntie Candra! School does start tomorrow & although I am ready to get it over with I know it is going to be crazy!! I can already see the 1 a.m. study sessions in my future! I did get some really cute pictures of Gracie & her sisters this week---check them out on candraspix & today I got this new one of McKayla so I thought I would post one of Gracie & her sisters & one of McKayla I can't believe how fast all of them are growing! It makes me feel old~ Well hopefully my first week of school goes well & I will post again soon!

Weekend Projects

Well it is unbelievable how much time you have to kill when you don't have homework!! Kaylie & I got together on Friday & made bows--I am so glad she puts up with me:) They turned out so cute! So I came home from work on Friday & made some more! Most of them I am going to keep for when I have a girl, so all I have to say is I Better Have a Girl someday! The other project that I did was the wedding present for my brother-- i think they turned out good too... Crazy! I can't believe I have to go back to school in 2 weeks, but I am officially a SENIOR!! Since the summer classes got on my transcripts I have enough credit to be a senior but since I am going to be an accountant that doesn't mean I am that close--I have to have 150, so I am only about 50 away and then I will be 16 closer after December! One more thing-- my niece had her first sleepover at our house while her parents went away for their 5 year anniversary & she learned the word NO-- it is the funniest thing, you will ask her a question and she will say no and then start giggling, so cute! I am going to try & get it on the camera & if I do I will post it! Well I hope everyone else had a great weekend, will post again!
