Baby Dinosaur

This is what the baby dinosaur looks like when she is throwing a fit. Just be grateful you cant hear the sound track that goes with it!

Arizona

I went to Arizona to see Kacie this weekend. We got someone at her party to snap a picture of us, too bad its not the best one. Even though the picture didnt come out so great it was a great weekend. Her friends were wonderfully nice and even though we hadnt seen each other in a few years it was great.

The only scary spot in the weekend was that the fire alarm went off at 2am. I sat bolt upright, and was speaking before I even had my eyes open I think. Im a bit bossy when it comes to stuff like that. I started telling her to find her shoes and get up. I found my shoes and my phone (I realized later I should have went for my purse too) and was opening the door (after feeling for heat of course!) before she even found her shoes. It ended up being a false alarm (no one else was even up and looking out their doors). I couldnt go back to sleep after that cause I kept thinking about all the people who didnt even get up and see what was going on. I kept making Kacie promise me that she would get up when Im not there, no matter how many times the alarm goes off. That was scary!

Disneyland

Kayla and I went to California Adventure today. I was excited because there was a carousel there that had reopened that would be at least different than the horsies I get so sick of. Kayla liked it-requesting to ride a fish. It was a rough trip for some reason. She was perfectly well behaved of course but for some reason she had to go to the potty at least once an hour. And in the end the bathroom we tried to get to was closed and she ended up having an accident. Of course that was the only time Ive gone without a change of clothes too... Needless to say that was the end of our day. Poor kiddo was so embarrassed.

Wires

There are chargers and electronic gadgets everywhere at my house. Im crazy about them for about 3 months and then they just get left somewhere. This was my latest pile of chargers...what a mess

Swimming

Hilda and I went to my mom's to swim for the first time of the summer. She went down the slide, Im too chicken but I like to take pictures of other people doing it.

New Purse

Hilda and I went out to the Cabazon outlet mall because she need a new purse. We both ended up with one. And almost the exactly the same one too. Its the same style, though mine is pink and hers is just a solid black. but talk about a great deal! They were regularly $300 and something and we got them for less than $100, cant go wrong!

Josie & Nina

American Idol

I loved Kara and bikini girl on AI. Kara sure showed her how the cow ate the cabbage!! LMBO!!

Mini Me!

I had Josie for a few hours and so of course I took advantage to make it a photo op. I took these snuggly pictures. Later looking at them I realized that she looks like a mini me! We have the same eyes, eyebrows, and skin! Silly!

Kindle

This was my graduation present from my family. Its pretty awesome-you buy books (at a discount) from Amazon (wirelessly wooohoo)and then they are all in one place. If you knew how many books I have you would know how exciting that is. I have books EVERYWHERE at my house. It has no backlight, its called 'digital ink' so its not bad for your eyes like a computer is. It also has a feature that allows it to read ANY book outloud which is an added bonus :0

Thanks guys!

Game night

Brandon, Kim and Hilda came over to have a BBQ and play cards. Every time we finally make time to get together we always wonder WHY it takes us so long to do it because we have so much fun as a group.

New Phone

I took about a million pictures and for some reason I could not get any of them to come out well, I guess phones are just not photogenic, lol. Anyway, I havent liked my phone for a long time and I kept complaining. I finally decided I had had it and went to the Verizon store to buy a Blackberry. Of course I got there and ended up not liking them after all. But I found a perfect phone for me. It's the LG Versa, its touch screen with a flip full keyboard (thats not touch) so I can text faster which was my whole goal. So far its perfect!

Brandon Has A Birthday!

Brandon thought the off-roading card I bought him for his birthday was too funny.

Messes

Kayla and Natalie played for hours in her room, and this was the result!

Home at Last

My Girls

I spent almost all of Tuesday with Robin, Maddie, Chloe, Emmy, and Abbey. I miss them a ton! I have a different picture I really want to post but I dont want to put pictures of the girls online outta respect. So I thought this one was a compromise, its the Doodlebug's (Abbey) bellybutton. I let the girls run around with the camera and this is one of the shots she took.

The Puddle

For some reason I didnt think I might need tennis shoes or even a sweater while on vacation (silly!) so I was wearing a tank top and flip flops (at least I had jeans) while it rained..

Graduation Gift

From Gma

Play Day

On Saturday Brandon, Kim, Hilda and I took the day to play. This was the first time we had been on any vacation as a foursome. We spent most of the day at River Park, we road the gondolas above the river then walked next to the falls. Afterward we walked over to the water play area and watched the kids play (as well as a wedding party take pictures). Then for the first time ever for me, we walked over to giant wagon and played. Ive seen it a million times but never went over too it. We went up and down the slide a few times then laid in the grass (okay I sat, lol) and watched people play around.

Later we played at the local arcade for awhile, watched "Fighting" (dont waste your money), drove by my apartment and then had not good service, but delicious food at Outback before we went back to my Uncles for the night.

It was such a nice day my brother commented over and over that he couldnt ever remember having a nicer day, and that he was so relaxed. It really was a great day. We plan to get together more frequently and find things to do as a foursome :)

Graduation

I finally graduated! This is me and my family on the banks of the Spokane River. Im going to brag here for a minute since I cant brag in person otherwise I sound like a snob, lol. I graduated Summa Cum Laude!!! Wooohoo! I had no idea until I got there, lol I just did my classwork, I never paid attention to exactly what my GPA was...but 3.9/4.0 is darn good!!

The ceremony itself was torture, it lasted almost 3 hours and I only knew one person there. Although by the end I knew the lady next to me pretty darn well, lol. We talked through the whole ceremony cause we really couldnt see and it was BORING! One of the faculty told me that there was a second ceremony at another school the next day that I could attended-oh heck no! One was enough!!! Who would wanna do it twice anyway??

Flight Day...

Of course I missed another day "sigh" We flew to WA and I just missed taking the camera out :(

I LOVE HER!

Kayla and I went to Disneyland (I was anxious about my trip so I figured that would be a great way to kill some time). Everyone was so sweet offering to take pictures of us. This is my favorite shot of us today. We were hiding out in the corner of Donald Ducks Boat and she wrapped her little arms around me and just squeezed. AWWWW

TV Time

My TV runs continually when Im home, I like the background noise even if Im not watching it. The funny thing is, sometimes Im so caught up doing other things that actual programs never get turned on, I just watch "AT U-VERSE" bounce around the screen...

Roxie & Kayla

*Hugs*

Homework

I spent the whole day finishing up homework (my last assignment before graduation!) so my camera did not come out today.

I hope I do a better job next year getting a photo everyday. Ive already missed about 3 days this year :(

APA Fomat

Ive used this book a billion times for the papers I have had to write for school. Im so excited to be able to put it away permanently!

Hilda Meets Josie

Josie is two and a half months old and this is the first time Hilda has gotten to see her. Hilda told me to make sure I was just taking a picture of Josie when she saw me snap this, I said ummm and took it anyway, lol!
