William's house

Tina, Kevin, Nate and I went out to dinner in Columbia
Here is a really awesome stained glass window
that was inside the restaurant



Somewhere around 11:00pm Tina decided she had had enough
 of her ugly floor and asked me if I wanted to help her replace it.
You know me...I love a good project.  This is the floor around midnight. 
LOL

This is the other bathroom in the house. 
 It is what the one below looked like when we
 started the remodel of floors and refacing her cabinets.


What a huge difference huh? I should start another business.
  :)

A white Christmas

Snow falling Christmas night


My house after all the snow fell

This is the first white christmas since the 1940's for Charlotte
Nathan's first one ever too!
Snow ball

I'm not sure but I think Koda liked the snow

Doggies playing

Christmas Eve and Christmas

Ive decided that I am no longer doing a picture a day blog.  Why you ask?  Well because my life is crazy. I have four kids two dogs a cat 15 piano students and starting up this photography business.  I really just don't think to take my camera out everyday.  I use it a lot and i still plan on posting my favorites but it is much more likely to be once ore twice a week.  I'm glad for doing it though.  It made me learn about my camera a lot faster than i other wise would have.  It also taught me to look for and appreciate the beauty around me so much more than I ever had before.  So with that being said....Here are my favorites from the past Christmas filled week.  :)
Christmas Eve morning we always make gingerbread men
Lots and lots of gingerbread men
A whole lot of gingerbread men
The Cummings come over every year for christmas eve dinner
Baby Natalie is getting so big
Emily realizing presents are under the tree
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!!

Madison's big gift
She loved it!
Natalie's reaction to seeing the presents for the first time

Bryson's first present

I hope everyone had a merry christmas!

:( 
Still purty though.

December 8

There isn't a whole lot of things that are more cozy feeling than
stocking's hung over the fire.
Except for maybe the hot chocolate in my hands
:) 
Yummy!

December 7

You know what is so awesome in my life right now?
My kids are old enough to leave at home for a little while by themselves.
So every once in a while Nathan and I will sneak away on a date
that i don't have to fork 50+ dollars on a babysitter.
This night we went to Kohls do to some more Christmas shopping!

December 6



See this amazingly awesome person
I kind of like him
He got me my Christmas present yesterday.
Guess what it was???
Remember how I told you I was hoping Best Buy would work with me on my camera problem
Well......
they did!!
And Nathan let me super upgrade!!!
This pic was taken with my new camera which
is insane and i have been reading the manual like crazy.
My last camera's manual taught me a lot but this one is CRAZINESS!
But the pictures it takes is AMAZING!
Especially inside.  That was my biggest complaint about my last one is that my indoor shots were always so crappy
Not with this baby. Pure AWESOMENESS!!!
I love you babe!!! Thanks so much!!!

December 2

Time to get the Christmas tree
I'm a little sad because our weekends our so full this year
we couldn't go cut one down.
The kids still had fun though and the
 Giles hung out with us!
It's a little grainy,
it was getting dark out,
but still a super cute picture.

Dec. 1

Let the countdown begin!!!!!!!

Nov. 30

So I finally got my camera back and guess what?  It's already doing the exact same thing again.  I'm pretty sure I'm going to go raise cane and try and get a another camera today.  Maybe they will just let me take waht i payed for this one and put it towards a nicer camera!  :) That would be awesome. Happy early Christmas today.  Who know's, I'll let you know what happens.  In the mean time I took a few to catch you up on what's been going on around here....
been mastering the art of Chocolate molten lava cakes
here is one all done...
still working on it.


My baby boy turned 9
9!!!!! 
Where did the years go!
He started talking to me about leaving on his mission in just ten more years.
He has always liked talking about it, but now at nearly half way to when he'll
leave the thought of it makes me cry.

Emily was a pilgrim for her Thanksgiving program.
Doesn't she look so cute!

Fall is so pretty here. 
 I'm sad my camera was gone for all the peak colors.

Sheila came to town. 
It was fun for all three of us to be together again!
I got to do a photo shoot of the two of them downtown.
It was super fun.
I'm learning so much with each one I do.

I have another one on the 4th with 7 kids.
It's a little scary!  :)
I was given the priviledge of making Tucker's first birthday cake!
It came out so super cute!!
One of my favorites,
 all though it did suffer a little trauma in the car ride over.
:)
Happy Birthday Tucker man!



I love you Amy
That is all!

THIS was crazy...but loads of fun!

I have ALWAYS wanted a pretty tree
While my hubs was in California there was nothing stopping me from succeding!
Mwahahhahhaa
I can use this traveling bit to my advantage!
:)
