Sweet Sixteen!

Nope it wasn't mine of course but it was one of my sophs', Shandie's!

I woke up early in the morning(about 7:30 :) ) and got ready for play practice. I was expecting something terrible since the performance is in a week, but we just went over scene changes. The real grueling practice is yet to come. The play is my life for the next week. Yippee.

After practice and teaching piano, I got to go with five other awesome girls and an amazing mom over to Idaho Falls. I wish I had a picture, but I forgot the camera after trying to remember to bring it all week. Shopping at the mall proved to be great, other than the fact that I bought a shirt rather than the much needed pants that I was supposed to get, I just hope they last long enough to get back to I.F. After the lovely shopping, I got to watch this movie!. With everyone deciding between Dear John and Blind Side, I think we made the right choice when we missed both showings :)

Super adorable movie. I was laughing through most of it, enjoying the romantic comedy to it's greatest. So cute.

Free Canvas

I saw this on Creative Crate about a month ago and was tempted to do it. It is a free canvas, but after I filled everything out the shipping was ten dollars. Ten dollars on a $50 canvas really isn't that much but I had already spent $20 with my new debit card and decided I needed to tie it up before I got carried away and used my debit card on the internet for everything I wanted. When I changed my mind I had lost the web site and couldn't remember which blog I had seen the advertisement. When Creative Crate blogger posted she had gotten her free canvas, she posted the link. I am excited, now I just have to decide what I photo I want.

Wolf Moon

Yesterday I heard that the moon was supposed to be seen really clearly from the sky without a telescope. I wasn't sure how clear it was supposed to look, but the sky sure wasn't. There was lots of "plane trail" clouds in the sky and the pieces of light from the moon could be seen peeking from behind them but that was it. At home we watched and enjoyed "Once Upon A Mattress" After the movie, lots of light was showing into the window. I went over and opened the blinds and was blinded my the light of the moon. It was like looking at the sun, it was very bright and beautiful.

January

First post of the year and it's halfway thru January, I am so all the ball this year. First off I wanted to share this picture simply because I absolutely love it and have had it as my desktop picture for a year and I don't think I'll be changing it anytime soon. I hope to be able to take such interesting photos, I love, love, love fairytales and the fairytale feel photographers are able to capture.

Utah!

This weekend was so fun! I really enjoy being around grandma and grandpa and Heather and Roy and their beautiful girls. They are so cute! I got to go down to have Heather take my senior pictures. I've been trying to find the perfect photographer that wasn't far away, and she matched the description! So I headed down with half of my wardrobe and took a few pictures. Logan has such great spots and the leaves at this time of year are colorful and still in the trees, it was exciting. Here is a pic of grandpa surrounded by girls like he was all weekend.

For several months I have wanted to a make a candyland cake. Since I was sick on my birthday and sweets didn't seem like such a good idea, I saved the plan. Sharing with grandma, grandpa, and a bunch of little girls seemed like a great plan. It turned out to be a super sweet cake.

HeidiAnn and Amberly had fun taking pictures in the back.

One of the many Beautiful pictures that Heather took. I am so happy with them.

Thanks Heather!

Halloween!

I love Halloween, and I don't really know why, I don't like being scared, I don't like gory things, but I really like the feel of it. Maybe it's because the holiday feels old kind of like an old house. I don't have a clue why Halloween is my favorite time of year, but I just love it. This year we dressed up but really didn't do much. I volunteered to help with Trunk-or Treat the night before, so I decorated the trunk of the van and dressed up as Velma, while Adam and Amberly dressed as Shaggy and Minnie Mouse. It was fun to have us kind of themed. On actual Halloween, Adam and Amberly went trick-or-treating for a few treats, and then we sat down and watched Scooby-Doo while eating Scooby-snacks.

Snowball fight

This is really delayed, but here is the snowball fight when it snowed in the beginning of October.
