Rather Random

I havent posted in a little while so I just thought I give an update. Devin's  on a soccer league here and I was realizing, we don't have ANY pictures of either of us playing soccer so I wanted to get some pictures to prove to our grand kids that we really did play soccer, were hoping to still be playing when we have grand kids lol! So here are a few fun shots of Devin at his best!



I wanted to try and get some cute pictures of Elysa while we watched Dev play. It was REALLY windy, plus Elysa just kept wanting to go play on the "Weeee" aka slide. There were TONS of people there so I couldn't get any cute shots without some weird person in the background so I gave up on that but I did get this cute photo when Elysa finally started to tucker out, she is almost impossible to get pictures of because she is such a little busy body and doesn't hold still for more than 2 seconds!

Later on that day we went to Hyrum Dam. I had to write a report for my history class on the history of something in Cache Valley. We really wanted to go to Old Ephraims grave but wasn't able to make it up there, plus we didn't want to get stuck in the mud because we heard it was still pretty muddy up there. My grandma gave me some really old history books about Hyrum and the Dam. It was actually pretty fun to read because it was stories from the pioneers rather then just straight old history facts. Our teacher wanted us to actually visit the place we were gonna right about so we could have some sort of emotional connection to our report also. So I took the opportunity to get some pictures.
I love my little sis so much! She is growing up WAY to fast! Kinda brings you to tears sometimes with how fast they grow. It's about time to bring on another little one :) Were thinking maybe next summer, we'll see! Elysa is ready tho, she carries around her little babies ( I should get photos of that huh? ). She loves to tuck them in their crib and give them kisses a nu night. It's so stinkin' cute. She's gonna be a good big sister. I just love family, especially our little family. I love that we do everything together and its so fun getting to experience new and fun things together too. We are driving to Yellowstone in July and I am SOOOOO psyched! Anyways just had to post a little something :)

Easter a little late

I was going thru my pictures and realized I never posted about Easter. However that was all during our move so I think I have some sort of excuse for getting to it so late. I'll just post the pictures I scrapbookedbecause it basically tells/shows it all. :)

WoW!



I officially went a whole month without updating! I apologize! ALOT has happened since I update last. I will kinda just hit the key things:

1. We officially moved into the "new" home. Things are going well. We still have ALOT to do, mostly painting besides redoing the gutted out bathroom and getting new countertops for the laundry room, master bathroom and kitchen. Sigh, still alot to do but the living room is completely finished besides the decor that I want to do!

2. I started up school again. I'm hoping to graduate in August if not sooner. My sister in-law, Cammie, was kind enough to watch Elysa while I am at school. After school, at 2:00, I started a new job working with a friend of mine from soccer. I am their graphic designer, so I work there from 2-5. Devin took work off at 2 now so he can be home with Elysa while I work. ONTOP of that my teacher offered me a job with him! I am just doing freelance for now but he wants to hire me on full time down the road! Once I am done with school I am going to work with him and Devin will be a stay at home daddy :) * he's so excited!*

3. I explained in number 2, besides school now I am working 2 jobs, technically 3 with my own business! I still have some clients i'm trying to clear off my plate! So I am one tired girl! Sometimes I don't know how I am going to make it thru the week!

Hardest thing about it all is not getting to be at home with my baby girl :( I realized I have been replaced with her stuffed monkey a.k.a "mon-tee". It is nice how much she misses me when she gets home, switching places with papa, so that helps some.

Here is a pic I took of her for one of my class projects, yes I had to let her play with markers ( not that that's new anyways lol) for the picture, but it turned out SO cute.. she is a good little model!


Here's the finished ad. As you can see it was for a crayola crayons ad :)

This is my digital Scrapbook. And.. yeah.. i designed the papers and stuff myself :) sweet huh?

Elysa's Favorite Video! She asks for it by pointing at the computer and yelling "Apples!Apples"
