Birthdays

We went to Boise for my birthday, and Craig and Chelsey and Cole were there too. It was way fun to get to see them and have a double birthday party since Cole and I share the same birthday! Charlie got me a new camera, since our old one was crappy, so here are some fun pictures with my new camera! :) Beware, there are a lot!

Kira at her dance recital on Saturday night, she did great!

He loved this little 4 wheeler, just sat on it forever!

He loved his Grandpa that weekend and crawled over to open the rest with him

My favorite picture, I think it is so sweet!

Cole trying to sit in Emi's lap

We did a cake smash and Cole didn't want anything to do with it, so we all took turns doing it instead! This is the only picture I got of that, Chelsey did the best!

I stayed the whole week after my birthday there with my sister and Adi wanted me to read a book to her, she just melts your heart!

Me, Kira and my mom and Lagoon for dance nationals. I hitched a ride home with them at the end of the week.

Me, Kira, and her mom Shana

Kira on stage, she did great!

It was such a fun week and and a fun weekend with them staying with me!

American Fork Canyon

So Heidi came for a visit this weekend (yay!) and we went on drive today on the Mt. Timpanogos highway up through American Fork Canyon. The fall colors were out and it was so amazing! Usually when we go on drives in the fall it is all yellow, but this drive was filled with red everywhere! I have never seen so much red in concentrated areas and in so many different colors, so beautiful!! At the end of the road there was a little parking lot with a trail up to Cascade Srpings. It is a really pretty spring that comes flowing down the hill in little shelf pools. It was just a day filled with beautiful things! Plus we got to go to breakfast with mom and dad on their way back to Boise from the trip. It was a nice little visit to hold me over til Halloween when we get to do a weekend! Ok, enough typing, we'll finish with some pictures...

Me and Charlie :)

Bright yellow!

Doesn't even do it justice, but the whole side of this ridge was just covered in red!

Snookums :)

Wow

Another new post in less than 5 months! It's a miracle! And one with big news too... Charlie got a new job in Utah and we move labor day weekend! It has happened so fast and is still happening fast that I just don't even know where to begin. He will be working for eBay and it is such a great opportunity for him and we are both really excited and scared and sad all at the same time.

About time!

So I figured it was about time for a new post, haven't really done anything since Christmas though, so all you get is a picture of my new hair do. :) I chopped it off and I am loving it! Not the best pictures, but its what you get! :P

Its not super short in front, but it is in back! We actually clippered the back a little bit, new experience for me, never used clippers on me before! But it is so fun and so easy to do, and I totally love it!!

Christmas

So I have one picture from Christmas! Charlie did most of the packing because I was at work and he forgot a couple of things! :) Like the camera, the pie crusts, and the whipping cream. I had everything else to make the pies except the crusts! haha So Emily being the great sister she is brought pie crusts up and saved the day! So here is my one picture, I got the greatest pajamas ever on Christmas Eve!! I love them!!I especially love the penguins on the feet! And on a very exciting note, my schedule at work got changed! I got changed to a new department, Data Entry, and I am loving it. It takes a little more brain power which is nice, not just a thoughtless robot anymore! hehe So I don't have to be to work until 7:30 now!!!!! YAY! So its 7:30-4:30 Monday-Thursday and 8-3 on Friday. It has been so nice not to have to get up and 3:45 anymore! Anyway, that is it for now. :)

Family Pictures

So my sister put up a preview of our pictures on her photography blog if you want to see them. They turned out awesome and I love them! http://imlearningtophotograph.blogspot.com/

More Info on Job.

Its a company called SCI. Its a 2nd level mortgage company which just means they don't deal with the financial aspect they do paperwork for it. Today was my orientation and it went really good, they just went through policies and stuff. On Monday I start my training so hopefully I can learn quick! I am really excited for some extra money and being able to get out of the house!

News

So I got a job!! Yay! I had the interview yesterday and they called me today telling me to come to work tomorrow! So its really fast and I'm a little overwhelmed, but I'm excited and so glad it happened. Hopefully it goes well!

Adi

I got my hair done again on Tuesday and wanted to switch it up a little so I went really dark with a few highlights of my usual red and hot purple hair extensions, its totally wild and a lot of fun! The extensions are clips so I can take them out if I don't want purple that day so that is nice too. I went to show Ashley and my niece totally loved it. She wants to be just like me when she grows up and I just love it. There is a little bit of hero worship on both sides, she is the sweetest little girl and I love her to death! So since she wants to be like me, she wanted purple too so Ashley found some markers that are washable and put a few purple, pink, and brown highlights in, too funny. So I had Ashley take a picture and she posted it, then I stole it. So here it is.
So in love with that little girl!
