What????

You Don't Know Much About Christmas

You only got 4/10 correct

So you don't know all of the history and trivia of the holidays...
As long as you remember to put out some cookies for Santa, you're still ahead of the game.

Random Christmas fact: Only 21% of US households has a real Christmas tree each year.


I can't believe I didn't get more than that!!!

Getting back to the swing of things

Things in my little world have been so completely crazy. I don't even know where to begin. My mother is doing well. She had her lumpectomy and actually ended up going back this week to get a little more taken out since her margins weren't clear. A couple of her lymph nodes ended up being positive so she will unfortunately have to go through Chemotherapy. I know chemotherapy is actually a good thing, I mean think if we didn't have it, but it's still not going to be any fun for her. She is a strong women and will do fine :) Plus she has a positive outlook on it. It's our little joke, but every time we talk about it, we joke and whisper "cancer", like some old lady would :) I guess you have to be there, but it makes me giggle just thinking about it.

On a very sad note, Jeff's mother is also very ill with cancer. We got a phone call the day after Thanksgiving that she was put in the hospital. Unfortunately the cancer has spread everywhere. Poor Jeff has been back and forth to California to see her. So please say some prayers.

On a brighter note, the photography stuff has been booming. Lot's of families got their pictures taken for the holidays! I will have to post some for everyone to see.

On the scrapping front... I'm a guest girl for Dani Mogstad this month!!! I was so excited to be asked. She has awesome designs and I have been a HUGE fan of her stuff since I first started in this fun hobby! I did actually manage to get 2 pages done... don't faint!! Both of these kits are available at Sweetshoppedesigns.com


We are getting new wood floors installed this week and our house is full of fumes from the sticky stuff they poored on the floor this morning. I'm getting a huge headache and hopefully they won't find me gasping for air in the morning... hee hee!
Ok everyone, if you read all of this you deserve a treat!!

Richard & Renee

So Richard and Renee planned a wedding in 2 weeks, and even though that seems like a small amount of time, everything went off without a hitch! The wedding was so much fun and who would expect less out of them. They wanted this event to be fun, casual and focus on the things they love the most... family and friends! Here is a little slide show if you want to take a look: CLICK HERE

I've been so busy lately! I have about 4 family shoots that I am editing, so more of those to come soon!

This week we are heading over to my family's restaurant for Thanksgiving. They close the place down for the day and we have full access :) This year we have to bring the stuffing and the green beans.. just thinking about that dinner makes me smile. LOL I LOVE stuffing!! What is your favorite Thanksgiving food item??

Breast Cancer



My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer this last week. I am still a little in shock, so I haven't blogged too much about it. Please send her some good thoughts and say some prayers if you pray. So far things are looking good. She may only need a lumpectomy and radiation. She luckily had mammograms every year and it was caught that way. So if it's time... go get checked!!

Halloween Recap

So I almost forgot to mention what a great time we had on Halloween! Ellie was snow white and loved it! At first she was a little hesitant, but once she saw the candy, she quickly caught on. By the end of the night all I heard was "More doors!" Chris and Tiffany came over, along with Grandma & Grandpa to help celebrate. Little Macy made quite the cute sweet pea!

Here is a little slide show of our evening.

Pictures & TV!

Here is what I have been up to lately :) Sue is a friend of my mothers and her family was so much fun to shoot. We headed out to Vistancia and got some great photos! Could they seriously be any cuter?????



Let's talk TV! Heroes is on tonight! I really like that show.. keeps me on my toes every week and never goes in the direction I think it will. And what about Ghost Hunters! This season is awesome, except for the lame Halloween one.. 6 hours was a bit too much for me. We recorded it and I skipped around alot! I am looking forward to the reveal on Wednesday night. Grey's Anatomy.....ahhhh I still love that show. Not sure about George and Izzy still, but I'm staring to like them together. I just have to get past the whole brother/sister relationship they had before :) Ok so here is my line up for the week... seriously like I have any time to watch these!

Sunday-Desperate Housewives and sometimes Brothers & Sisters
Monday-Chuck, Heroes & Journeyman
Tuesday-
Wednesday-Private Practice, Bionic Woman, Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares (or whatever it's called) and Ghost Hunters (Thank goodness for DVR this night)
Thursday-The Office, My name is Earl, Grey's Anatomy
Friday- nothing really
Saturday- Saturday Night Live

Ok that's all I can think of at the moment... what is your favorite show???

Joshua & Jenny

Joshua and Jenny's wedding was so much fun to shoot! They just oozed with love and gittiness (is that a word??) The wedding was at Jenny's grandmother's house and it was beautiful. Their flowers were probably the prettiest I have seen and what a huge selection of different flowers! Here is a little sneak peak:



I also shot the most adorable family photos last weekend too.. I'll hopefully have those up for you all to see this weekend!!

Nothing much to report on the home front. Ellie is growing like a weed! She is so funny and makes me laugh every day. I was watching the author of the book, "Eat, sleep, and Pray" she said she keeps a journal were she notes her happiest moment of the day. I need to do that more often. Today my happiest moment was when I looked over and Ellie was singing at the top of her lungs to The Little Mermaid while holding her TWO Ariels and pretending they were singing too... *sigh, it makes my heart sing :)

Have a great week!!!

Bad Bad Blogger

Where have I been???? Seems like forever since I had an opportunity to blog! Las weekend was so much fun! I went to Savannah, GA for my friend Krista's wedding. Let me just say that I LOVE Savannah. That place is just way too cool. We stayed right on the river and had the best view of river street. I'm in love with Pralines too... yummy. We also went on a fun little ghost tour of Savannah. It was a little "cheesy" but I got to see some amazing old homes. Plus we even went to a house that TAPS investigated!!!! How cool is that! I took some pictures of the wedding:

Krista was a beautiful bride. Her dress was so pretty and just very classy. Here it is hanging up:



and then there was the first kiss:

Then on Sunday I went to Tybee Beach with my friend Lisa and her family. It was really hard to get some good pictures because the wind was blowing so hard. I swear the sand was piercing us in the legs and face. But I did manage to get a few I liked:



Next weekend I am shooting a wedding! I'm so excited about this. Ok off to get some stuff done! Have a great week!

Recovering from a...

very busy weekend. First of all, on Friday, I had the worst day possible. Anything that could go wrong did.. including me sliding across the tile in the hall at school. I'm not sure how it happened, but somehow I tripped and fell. I was so sore. I swear I pulled every muscle in my body. I jammed my right knee and wrist and then got a huge "burn" from the tile on my left arm. Thank goodness no one saw me. All the kids were at lunch and the halls were clear. I can't even imagine how that would have gone over with a hallway full of elementary school kids. I did have to take a muscle relaxer and that was wonderful. I can honestly say I understand how people get addicted to those things. I slept like a rock.

Friday night my family came over for Taco night and then on Saturday morning Ellie and I headed to a Piggies and Paws Party. They make cool art work out of your child's prints. I can't wait to see the final results. What a great idea.. then later in the day I had 2 photo shoots! Here are 2 pics from baby Karly. She is only 2 1/2 weeks old. She looked older because she weighed 8 lbs at birth. I just LOVE the way these turned out:


I then took pics of a 14 month old.. I'll share a few of those later :)
School has been good.. just busy. Seems like summer goes by so fast and it takes nothing to fall right back into the regular schedule. Even all the kids seem to right back into the swing of things. Next weekend is labor day... woohoo I'll have Monday off!! Ok.. off to get Ellie in the bath! Everyone have a great week!

My weekend

Life continues to be crazy! I haven't had any time to scrap and/or design... sigh. This week I plan on locking myself in my room each night and get some stuff done! :)

Friday night was date night for Jeff and I. My mom kept Ellie for us. It was fun.. we headed out and ran some errands, hit the mall and then went to this great restaurant called Taneko. It was Japanese food and it was delicious! First of all, they bring you this rock that is 600 degrees.. and you grill your meat on it. Very cool! All of it was very yummy, including the great bottle of wine!

Then yesterday I headed out for my friend Sara's wedding shower. The theme was "Breakfast at Tiffany's" It was so cute! We were supposed to get all "dolled" up and wear dresses, pearls, hats.. etc. Everyone looked great! Here are some photos:

The Yummy little cakes!

The center pieces.. notice what's playing in the back :)

Sara, Stephanie, & Stacey.. aren't they cute!!

After the shower I went and took some photos.. adorable little kids, I'll have to post some later. I'm off to take more photos tonight too :) Off for now!

<---- Insert Title Here

So things are much slower this week, although I'm working my little behind off!! Summer is officially over and now my cancels at work have slowed waaaaaay down. I actually saw all 8 kids yesterday and then today I saw 7 out of my 8. This is a good thing, but it definitely makes me tired when the day is done!

Tomorrow I'm off to the doctor to get an injection of cortisone into my left knee. Sounds fun huh??!! Actually, I'm glad they are doing it because I'm hoping to get a little relief in that knee. I'm sure my Baker's cyst is back and I really don't want it to pop again!

Check out this picture of Ellie running.. isn't it sweet?? I used Andi's lightroom preset: Rome. I love it!!


Ok off to watch Ghost Hunters :) I LOVE that show!!!

Crazy Week

This week has just flown by.. every night/day we had something going on. First of all, we started with play group, which was at my house one Monday and then my cousin Patty flew into town on Tuesday with her husband and girls, so we had lots of family time. On Tuesday we went over to my other cousin's house for dinner and swimming.. then we got caught in that huge rain storm!

Wednesday we went over to my Stepmother's house for dinner.. she made yummy lasagne (needless to say, diet is out the window still!) Then Thursday everyone headed over to our house for hamburgers and hotdogs. Then last night Ellie and I actually took it somewhat easy and then today it was over to my cousin's again for my 2nd cousin's 13th birthday! Phew... catch all that??? LOL

Anyway, I did snap lots of pics of my family! Here are the Coles:

The Kelly's:


Aren't they great looking families!!! It's been a fun week, but I'm pooped. Tonight I actually sat down on the couch for about an hour and read a magazine and watched some shark shows on discovery channel. It was nice to actually take a breather. I've had absolutely no mojo in the scrapping or designing area... scrapping gods, please touch me!!! LOL

Ok I'm rambling.... off to edit photos!

A New Look and New Teams!

So I decided my blog had been ignored long enough! How do you like the new look??? So I'm officially on 2 new teams that I am so stinkin' excited about!!! They are....

Holly McCaig and Andie Smith

How cool is that??? I had such a blast with Holly in Chicago! I was so thrilled when she asked me to be on her team! Andie also sells at MDM and her stuff rocks! Not to mention she is just the coolest photographer too! If you get a chance check out their blogs!

So I edited a few pics from CHA. Here are a few from our little photo shoot! I just love the way these pics turned out! Check out the cool bright bar stools too!





and last but not least I actually got a page done! I used the free template off of the girl talk blog..and then my oldglory kit too:


Ok I think that's about it for now! Hasta!

Quick update

I made it back safe from CHA and have not been feeling too well ever since! I started feeling really really sick on the airplane. Thank goodness we got in 1/2 hour early, because my lunch was almost in the bag (TMI?) Anway, I just chalked it up to motion sickness.. well all day today I have felt so crummy then this evening I was so sick again.. and no I'm not pregnant. I did have to start my heavy duty medicine today, so maybe that is part of it too. Anyway I slept from 5-7 pm, then got up and ate some dinner. I feel about 80% better, but still not 100%. Yuck huh! I hate being sick.

I had a blast in Chicago. It was awesome hanging out with the girls and I miss them already. I had an awesome time taking pictures with Holly. She rocks! She gave me some amazing pointers that I know I will continue to use now at my shoots. I swear I'll post some pics very soon of our little photo shoot.

ok off to take a bath and too bed..

CHA!!

Greetings from the Windy City!!! We are having such a great time here in Chicago! I have met so many people from the digiworld.... it's crazy, but so cool to meet them in person. The show is amazing. Overwhelming and gave me so much inspiration! So much that I actually want to paper scrap (What?!) The show is HUGE! What I really like is seeing all of the amazing LOs people have done! I've been spending alot of time with Mish, Holly and Robin:


What happens in Chicago stays in Chicago.. but I will show you a small glimpse:

Oh and I almost forgot to mention that we had a wonderful trip to Disneyland & Sea World.. Ellie was a total trooper. I will definitely post pics of that when I get back to AZ.

A Very Bad Blogger!

I have been MIA.. sorry! Nothing to exciting to report either. I've been busy working on my photography website and that's about it. Both Ellie and Jeff have been super sick this week, so I spent most of my time with them. When Ellie is sick and I stay home I never get anything done, because most of the time she is on my lap :) She is feeling better now.. thank goodness. She had that nasty Coxsackie Virus again! This time she had blisters all in her mouth and down her throat. It was nasty stuff and I'm so relived that it's gone! I guess she got it from daycare again...

Tomorrow is my 36th birthday! Ouch! I'm now 4 years closer to the big 40!! It doesn't seem possible really. Ok that' my bitching.

It's soooo hot here! Yesterday was a scorcher and today was 113! Too hot to go outside. But I do love summer! What I love most about summer is watermelon! I could eat that stuff daily!!

Oh and I'm back on track with LAWL.. down 4.8 lbs this week!!! Woohoo!! Just in time to leave on vacation next Friday to California and then to CHA in Chicago with Robin in Mish!! I can't wait!!! Ok off to bed

Tests

I'm horrible at tests.. and this just goes to prove it:

You Failed 8th Grade Math

Oh no, you only got 4/10 correct!


I got that off of Robin's blog...who got it off of Mish's blog :)

You Know a Few State Capitols

You Got 8 State Capitols Correct

The few you got right were probably luck. It's time to brush up on some rather useless knowledge!


Ok now I feel like a big ole dummy!!!!

Nothing too exciting to report.. I'm working on my new photography site. I have someone working on my logo and I have a template I'm working on, so hopefully by next week it will all be done! I'll keep you posted!

Time is flying by as usual!

I seriously don't know where the time is going?? I blink my eyes and we are half way through the month of June. Insane.

This weekend is Grab bag weekend! Head on over to HERE:

I got a page scrapped last week:

(credits: Wildflowers kit by Beth Hesselberg of Scrapdish, stamped alpha by Michelle Coleman)

I'm officially only working 3 days a week now and I love it! My weeks are going by faster, I get to hang out with Ellie more and I feel like I'm starting to get caught up on a few things. I still have a TON of boxes to unpack. Todays mission: the closet So wish me luck!!! LOL

Are any of you watching Ghost Hunters???? I swear I love that show. I'm not a huge scary movie fan by any means, but this show creeps me out and I LOVE it! Everytime I watch it I get the chills! You can catch it on Wednesday nights on the Sci-Fi channel!

Ok off to drink my coffee! Have a great weekend!

My Anniversary!

Today Jeff and I have been married 3 years!! It's been a great trip so far :) And guess what he got me... a new lens and flash for my camera!! I was so excited. The flash is actually an early birthday gift :) The lens is a 70-300 mm f/4.5-5.6. It's huge and heavy, but so far takes some really cool pics. Here is a pic of some flowers I picked up yesterday at Costco:


I hope everyone is having a great Memorial Day.. we have been so busy around here. (What else is new right??) It's officially summer, which means I only work 3 days a week for the next couple of months!!! YEAH!!! I can't stress enough how happy I am about this! I have so much to catch up on.. especially with the house. We still have a ton of boxes that need to be unpacked. I'm sure once that's done, I'll feel a bit more organized.

Our new house does NOT have a pool :( so we went to Target and got this fun little whale pool for Ellie. It has a little slide on it and it shoots water out the top. Ellie loves it! Here are some pics:




We might be heading over to a friends house for a BBQ later today.. not too sure yet. Other than that, nothing much planned. I do want to hit Old Navy though!! :) Have a great week!

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my father's birthday and I miss him.. funny how his birthday makes me so emotional. I guess pms will do that! (overshare!) 3 years ago this week we celebrated his birthday by all going out to eat. He told me how he hadn't been feeling too well.. and I told him to go to the doctor. A few days later and right before my wedding he was diagnosed with lung cancer. It was horrible. Then on his 61st birthday we had a small celebration at his house, where he basically said good-bye to everyone.. he knew it would be the last time he saw his closest friends. 3 months later he died. It's just amazing to me that he is gone.. I mean I know he is and I've come to terms with it, but every now and then I just feel like I hit a brick wall again. Does that make sense??

Ok now that I've depressed everyone!

American Idol was fantastic last night.. I'm a Jordin fan because she's from where I live... plus she just has an amazing voice for a 17 year old!

Grey's anatomy... what the heck is up with that ending?? Is George not coming back?? I had a feeling Cristina and Burke wouldn't get married, but I thought for sure it would be her.. nope! I have no idea what will happen next year.

I scrapped a page! I took some pics of Ellie as she was running through the hose as Jeff was watering the lawn!

See full credits HERE! Ok with that I'm off to watch the finale of American Idol! Have a great week!

Arthritis Update

So I ended up getting into the rheumatologist early and wow what an exam! I ended up getting x-rays of my feet, ankles, knees, hips, pelvis, hands, and ankles... phew! That's a ton of radiation! LOL I'm still in a ton of pain and I have to say I'm becoming quite crabby!!! I have to wait until June 8th to go back and get the results and then they'll give me my "plan of care".. ugh! What makes me really crabby is that it is affecting my life.. does that make sense?? I can't bend my knees very easily to get down on the floor and I spend half my day with kids on the floor! Ok I'm done bitching!!

This weekend is grab bag weekend! Don't forget to head on over to My Digital Muse on Friday and Saturday!

Tonight is the finale of Grey's!! I can't wait!!! I'm sure I'll post my thoughts afterwards!

Monday, May 07, 2007

Spot Free!!

So Ellie is finally better and today I went back to work! It was hard getting out of bed but it was nice to be out of this house!! Ellie's fever went away on Saturday and slowly her spots are disappearing. Poor thing! She is also starting to eat more, so that's a great sign!

NSD was crazy! I bought kits just because they were on sale.. Now I'll add them to my collection of great kits that I haven't used yet! LOL I have all of these fun great LOs I want to do and somehow time is escaping me! Soon.....

Is it just me or is anyone else in shock that it's May already?? Where is this year going??? Only 3 more weeks left of school!! Yeah! I'm ready for the break!

Ok, lets discuss Grey's Anatomy. I'm so glad to see things are somewhat back to normal, but I have to express my feelings on a few things. First of all... what's up with them killing off her stepmom?? I didn't see that coming! I was so bummed! And McDreamy is being McJerky! Give me a break, I mean who looks at his girlfriend drinking with friends and walks away, especially after her own father slapped her?? I did like the other spin off show with Addison.. though I think it would have been better as a separate show.. does that make sense. And Ty Diggs... mmmmmmm cute! It really has a great cast and I think I'll like it. Does anyone know when it starts??

Ok off to watch Heroes.. which by the way is another excellent show!

Phew.. what a week! (long post ahead)

This past week/month has probably been the craziest to date! Talk about busy, stressed out and anything else you can think about. First of all, on the 21st I held a bridal shower for my friend Nicole at my new house (which we hadn't moved into yet!) It actually turned out very nice.. plus I rented some tables and chairs and made it look nice so it actually turned out better that we didn't have any furniture here yet.

Then this past weekend we finally moved into the new house!! YEAH! Of course we didn't have any tv or internet for 3 days which was hard, but now it's all good! The movers came on Saturday and got all the furniture over. Now we just need to get some little stuff (like closet stuff) over here.

On our first night here, poor Ellie had a rough night. She got a fever and then threw up.. yuck! Plus the cats were going crazy!!! Needless to say I didn't get much sleep. Then on Sunday, Ellie seemed to be doing much better and we decided to go ahead with her birthday party! Ellie is now 2!!! The party was so much fun and the kids all had a great time! Then that evening it hit again.. poor Ellie got sick as a dog again and spiked a high fever.... To make a long story short, she is still sick and we headed to the doctor today. We thought she had roseola because some kids in Day care had it last week, but we found out she has Hand foot and mouth disease!! Sounds a lot worst than it actually is, but now it looks like I'll be home all week. She has the type that goes all over her body.. including the inside of her mouth. I swear I've changed more diapers/sheets in the past few days. I'm done. LOL So wish me luck that I can get through the rest of this week. Here is what she looked like yesterday :(


Not the best pic of her, but you get the idea with the spots on her face :( poor thing!

To top it all off I have arthritis.. I was diagnosed with JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis)at the age of 3. Now I haven't had a flare up in probably almost 12 years. I'm not on any medication and overall I've been very lucky. That is until last week. My poor knees are killing me. I have an appointment with the rheumatologist on Friday.. thank goodness! Ok now I'm whining!

I've been tagged by Holly:

We moved a ton of stuff over to the new house, and I actually got quite a bit of packing done. Saturday I had my friend Nicole's Bridal shower at my house.. empty house, but at least we had plenty of room. It actually turned out very nice and as soon as I get my camera from the other house I'll post some pics. Other than that I really don't have much to post.. Have a great week everyone!!

I survived my weekend... barely!

This past weekend I went to San Diego with some girlfriends to celebrate Nicole's upcoming wedding in May! There were 9 of us all together and it was a crazy weekend! We all got into town and headed out for sushi & sake bombers :) Then we headed to some more clubs and danced the night away! It was so much fun! Then on Saturday, Stephanie (my friend) and I ordered some room service while we got ready and then met everyone downstairs, where a limo picked us up. We were off to Temecula for some yummy wine tasting & lunch. We went to South Coast and then Wiens and then to Ponte. Great wine and a great lunch. Then it hit me.. I got soooo sick! The limo ride home was miserable!!! Agh. I swear I was sick from 4 pm until after midnight. All the girls went out that evening and I was stuck in a hotel room. I'm pretty sure it was my breakfast.. the eggs or bacon. Not so fun for me. But at least the first night and the wine tasting was fun! Here are some pics from the weekend:

(Nicole the bachelorette)

(all of us at a club in the Gaslamp district.. I'm in blue)

(mmmm.. wine!)
(outside the tasting room.. Jessica, Nicole, Sarah, me and Abby)
(lunch at Ponte Winery.. and of course more wine!)
