I SPY a GIGANTIC NOSE

So the three of us were on our way to Show Low to run some errands.

There are two games that we always play to pass the time.

ROCK<> PAPER<>SCISSORS

and the old faithful I SPY.

It went down like this.

Brae says...

I SPY someone who has a green shirt,

brown long hair, she has a little girl and she has a GIGANTIC NOSE!

Jeremy and I look at eachother and just start laughing hard.

Then I had to break the bad news to her.

I say...

Brae guess what I looked just like you when I was your age.

 (Except she is alot taller)

You don't have daddy's nose.

You have my GIGANTIC NOSE!

Don't worry the boys will LOVE you.

Look Daddy loved me and married me and my GIGANTIC NOSE!

This is what I feel like today

This is what I feel like today....

I'm hoping to get it together.

MEANWHILE......

I Love this FACE! Graham Cracker Crumb LIPS and ALL.

Well I Sold my beloved camera.

I was going to buy the newest version of the Canon Rebel Series.

But sadly...

They are sold out everywhere.

And now I am going to patiently wait......

I went ahead and got another camera to have.

I got the Canon Power Shot SD 940IS 12.1 MP.

I'm enjoying it. Like any camera I'm trying to get the hang of it.

It will be nice to quickly pick it up instead of dragging around my camera BAG.

I took the above pics with it.

Not too bad.

my lil' hip hopper

Usually Brae isn't wearing makeup but on a special occasions.

Such as this.

Her Dance Concert.

She was awesome.

She LOVES Dance!

She is in the little hip hop class and in tumbling.

She is loving it.

She was a monkey for her tumbling act.

Except at the very end she was the doctor.

Saying "NO MORE MONKEYS JUMPIN ON THE BED!"

She was dressed in a Dr.'s outfit.

Big glasses and the old fashion Dr. head gear.

She did a great job.

They were in the newspaper.

She is getting more confident in herself.

SO proud of her!

My First Senior Pictures

Check out my photography blog.

I did my first senior pictures!

Tell me what you think.

hiGhlightS from Brae's BIRTHDAY PARTY!

We first started the party with

 decorating their own

gift bag.

Then we dyed eggs.

The girls had 4 eggs to dye which took 45 mins.

They all wanted their eggs to look oh so pretty!

Then they decorated their bunny cupcakes.

While they did that I had one girl

 at a time pick 

a design and I painted their faces.

We had butterflies,

 a clown,

 a fish bowl and a

special sparkely design.

We then opened gifts.

They sang to Brae.

Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday to you,

You LOOK like a clown,

and you ACT like one too!

This is the bunny cupcake

we made.

Isn't it cute.

My cousin Susan gave me the idea to do.

The girls loved decorating their own.

What a fun party!

my LoVeBug turned 6! MArch 26th!

I love looking at pictures of Braelyn.

She was the best baby.

Sleeping through the night at 6 weeks.

And she never cried.

 She was always so happy!

Braelyn was about 18 months here.

Braelyn found Daddy's paintball mask.

I like to take pictures of Braelyn's side profile when we

go to the beach. Those cheeks aren't as chubby anymore.

Darnit.

Couldn't hear Brae went to check on her and there she

was making a bubbly mess.

Atleast it was a clean mess.

So pretty!

She put in a bunch of barettes and put on her bracelets.

Looking so pretty....

Now she went and turned 6 years old.

I still can't believe it.

My lovebug is growing up!

She got the present she really was hoping for her Twinkle Toes.

She loves them.

The little diamonds light up when she takes a step.

She is our special birthday girl

*She is in love with fairy tales.

I love that she believes that every time a baby giggles a fairy is born.

*I love that she has three favorite songs.

1. I've gotta feeling that tonight's going to be a good night.

2. Concerto in A Minor for two violins.

3. Adam was a Prophet first one that we know....Follow the Prophet.

* I love that I get valentines cards and love notes from her nearly daily.

*  I love that her favorite foods are steak, asparagus, mushrooms and shrimp.

And of course a good ole' otterpop for dessert.

* I love that she is all mine and I am so grateful to be her Mom.

Braelyn's First Recital

Braelyn's first recital and mine as a teacher went very well.

My kids were excited and did sooooo well.

I always get a little over the top the week before and tend to

be a little hard on them.

But they all just shined and were so happy with

their performances.

Braelyn played May Song and it was fabulous.

The kids were all awarded certificates for their first

performance, a small bouquet of flowers, and a violin pin

which they will recieve every spring concert to remind them

how many years they have been playing.

Braelyn and Baylee got a certificate for 100 days of practice.

I should have taken more pictures of her but this is all I got

and she is looking a bit sleepy.
