sadness..

Brad is leaving tomorrow. I have gotten use to him over everyday and sleeping here, but now that he's moving back to Washington, Logan and I will miss him so much! He's a really funny and great guy... its been interesting but fun having him here the past couple of weeks. Have a great time in Washington Brad, say hi to everyone for us!!
Logan and I will be coming up hopefully around end of June early July. and then im hoping to make it out when Adam and Carrie have their baby blessed. Anywho well i have to go to work.. have a great day all! and if its hot out there try to STAY COOL... its blistering hot here! ug!

smoothies

I recieved a bunch of fruit from Tammy, the lady i nanny for. She's going on the south beach diet and cant have any fruit so she gave it to us, and we went and bought ice and banana's and made SMOOTHIES! oh i love these smoothies they taste just like Jamba Juice! this is all i do (i odnt know exact mesurements i guess everytime! lol)
Ice
2Tbs of Sugar
1 Banana (sometimes two if i want more banana)
Strawberries (usually i put about 5-8, the frozen ones work well too)
Squeez one orange above the blender as it is going (make sure its only the juice coming out and not too much of the pulp) (you can use orange juice too)
Milk
I blend mine together and then once its mixed up i leave the blender on, clean up then i turn it off, this way its very smooth and no ice particals! hope you like it! add more fruit like blue berries, raseberries, or whatever! this is just the kind we make because its all we had

home sick

Isnt it funny that i was not homesick during the holidays, or on my birthday? i was not homesick when we first moved, or when i spent my first month away from my family. But now over 6 months later, im home sick. I miss my family, friends, fimilar surroundings. I miss highschool buddies, best friends, and the water. I miss the calm heat in the summer and the raining winters. I miss the short drive to beaches, zoos, and happy memories. I miss being able to drive less than an hour and i was able to visit all 12 neices and nephews. I miss my beautiful red room and my parents comfy leather couches! lol.. i miss not having to pay bills, rent or anything else that sucks your money down hole! I guess where im getting is that i just miss everything that made me happy in washington. Now im finding new things that make me happy in Utah. Like camping, training table, dollar theater, my own apartment with logan, my job, the close park, our ward, and beautiful but HOT HOT weather. Im not sure why all of a sudden i have been overwhelmed with homesickness, but its sure nice to have logan with me! I miss you guys all so much!!

hey guys!

im so excited to announce that i will be selling my doodles online at digiscrap.biz!!! im so excited! i cant wait!and to be honest we could you a little extra money. lol.. anywho.. here are some examples of what they look like:

we are ALIVE

WOW it has been SO long since i posted! SO sorry about that... lets see what has been going on... Brad moved in. Its been pretty fun... he is moving back to Washington on the 20th so only a few more days to have some fun! lol... This last weekend was our first Annviersary and it was a blast! Logan surprised me and took me up to Heber and stayed in a hotel with a JETTED TUB in the the room! way cool! i think i took 5 or 6 baths, each an hour long.. no joke lol i lived in that thing! Then we went swimming in a Natural Spring wich is located in a crater and its 93 degrees! i have pics and will get them up. I called my Grandma to ask her about the resteraunt she and my sister Amy said that had YUMMY shakes and we went and.. well THANK YOU GRANDMA! wow the shakes are amazing! lol...YUM... well today was my last day with the Majors (the family i Nanny for) She wanted to be a stay at home mom and so I found a new family and i am really excited.. a 9month old little girl.. and she is way cute! i will still get to see Emily, babysitting her next week, but just hanging out with them too... well its late, im tired, and i have tomorrow off so im going to clean n stuff... have a great night and ill update tomorrow with pictures!!

stuff

I havn't scrapped a boy LO in a while, and i got this super cute kit from digiscrappin! im back on their team and i might even start selling my doodles!! I doodled the alpha, and the frame on Matthew's LO. Today was a good day. Sarah had her twins, Bryce and Baby A and i went down and said hello. Held baby A and wow they are so CUTE!! They are healthy and beautiful! congrats Sarah and Scott! Anywho its SO late and if Logan wasnt asleep i wouldnt hear the end of it.. yes i still get grumpy when im tired in the morning lol.. im better though even ask logan! lol anywho.. well im out to bed hope you all had a good day! love you

just some Layouts

Here are a couple layouts i did over the last few days... the one that says love has alot of my doodles on it! i love how it turned out.

Art Journal

Rhonna Farrer (rhonnafarrer.typepad.com) is doing a 21 day Art Journal... well its the second round.. but the whole thing is like this: it takes 21 days to form a habit. So she started a 21 day art journal.. each day you do a page and she provides a quote and you just go off of it.. the quotes are all related to keeping goals... thats the other part. As we do this Art Journal you commit to something to want to form.. For me its being healthy... walking each day, eating better, going to sleep earlier, etc. I have been doing a good job, and to be honest this journal has helped alot... This is my third type of Journal and i LOVE it! I have kept the normal kind of journal since i was 12. This in Feburary i started a Quote Journal, I just write down quotes i like, love, inpire me.. etc... and now this Art Journal.. which im going to keep doing long long long after the 21 days are over.. i want to have alot to pass on to my kids.. and i think Journals are wonderful! Anywho here are what my pages look like.. its my art so its not perfect and i like it that way.. i dont paint in the lines, my colors mix, and its my style.. so no laughin lol.. anywho...

We have an Annoucment....

WE GOT TWINS... Well Gold Fish Twins ( not Indentical) lol...Arnt they the cutes little guys?
Logan and I picked them up yesterday at Petco after our very fun packed day! First Logan went Shooting with Brad and Cameron, While i stayed home and worked on my art Journal.. Then Logan got home and we packed up some snacks and a fresbie and heading south to Provo Canyon... we drove around there, we both havent been ther before (well logan has once but it was at night a few years ago.) Anywho well its was so much fun! We followed the river all the way up to the BIG lake and we Went to Heber and got Ice Cream Cones from McDonalds then headed back down, stopping a few times here and there to check everything out... camp sites, the river, views, etc. THen We stopped at this park, Provo Canyon Glen Park and played Fresbie! it was a blast! Then we got back into town, got the fish which we each picked out one and named it... and that one we picked out is for the other person! I named the white one Sophia and Logan Named his Fester, then went to Smiths and Bought Croncials of Narnia (At Smiths if you bought the movie you got a 12 pack of coke products, 2 bags of dole lettuce, and a red Barron Pizza... YUM! Then we picked up a pack of ice cream mix, came home and made Strawberry home made ice cream (thanks amy for the maker!) and had pizza and watched the movie with Brad and HIs friend... Then Today it was so nice we headed down to the local park by us and played some fresbie and then walked 3 miles! it was a blast! LOVED IT! anywho well gotta go! love you and miss you all!
