Creative Eye

A friend of mine has been doing a 52 week photo feature. I've been saving different photos and creating collages with them. They are quite talented! (In case you didn't notice!)
I love photography and looking at different photos! It makes me want to go and buy a camera of my own! :)
I should continue my "Little People" posts, but I have been distracted by the above photos! Hope all are doing well!!

News!!

I should really continue my "Little People" posts. But I have news!! This type of excitement spreads like wildfire usually. One person finds out, they tell another, so on and so forth! I have permission to tell people, but they didn't say anything about my blog!! But here it goes!! Remember how a few posts back I said I was going to be an aunt for the 7th time? Well, I still am, but that baby hasn't been born yet! So we got a call Wednesday night, and my brothers never usually call that late at night. I thought it was the one who lived in Oregon, but it wasn't. So my mom finally gave me the phone and I was the one in Wyoming. The first thing I asked was "Are you going to have a baby?!" I was right!!! I am going to be an aunt again!! :) I can't wait. 8 times, so maybe these next 2 will be girls, then there will be 4 boys and 4 girls ;) But I'm sure it won't work like that!! Maybe 1 of each, or both boys, or even both girls :) Anyway! Hope that everyone is doing well!

Little People #1

So I have decided to make collages of my nieces and nephews! I started with Lincoln. He is getting to be quite a big boy ;) The current pictures are the two black and white ones next to each other. They were taken at Christmas.
This weekend my grandparents are coming down and also Eric and his family! Next weekend is when I go to Chicago for LEAD conference. It should be fun! Well, maybe not the 7 or so hour ride! But the rest should be :) Other than that, I don't have much else to say! Hope you're all doing well!

Groundhog's Day

Frankly, I think it's overrated. I mean seriously. Either way there's going to be 6 more weeks of winter!! :) Because there are 6 weeks til spring! The weatherman says we're supposed to get a "huge" snowstorm this weekend. Now that remains to be seen! :) Hope you're all doing well!!

Hey There!

I had the weirdest dream last night, and as it progressed, it got weirder :) Interesting what our minds do while we sleep! Anyway! We have Small Group Contests coming up soon, March 24th, so I've been practicing my music for that, which I'm really excited about! I'm doing a solo, duet, and triple trio. I was asked to mentor for a few kids, so I started that today. I just pulled a dozen and a half chocolate chip muffins out of the oven! :) Yum! Oh and I am currently going through an obsession with clementines!! They are the best!! ( I got through several a day!!) School is going great! Been busy, but not too busy! My family is all doing well! My sister is due in 2 months or so! Which is quite exciting! I found a lot of amazing ideas from Pinterest! I'm sad, because I don't have an account to link it too, they only recognize a few, quite pitiful!! Anyway, how you're all doing well!!

Here is a collage I threw together from our time together :) It was a lot of fun. Some of these are repeats, but some are different. Also, my brother fixed my computer!! I am very happy and excited :) Hope you're all well.  Have a great weekend :)

A Few Pictures

Photo credit goes to my brother, Eric. Just a few pics from the holiday time. Don't have one of everyone, but here are a few!! By the way, I have hardly ever put up pictures, so excuse the funky formatting :) Hope you're well!!

Hello Again! :)

It's 2012?!! Wow, time has gone by very quickly. I remember last year, school ended quickly, summer flew by, and the new school year was here and gone in a second! Tomorrow we start back for the second and final semester until summer! A lot has happened! We had all my brothers here for a week. Travis came and stayed with us a week ahead, he has been interviewing for residency! So it was fun having them all here. We played many games of Settlers of Catan and some Crazy Rook! The kids had a lot of fun being together, although towards the end, there was some fighting, pretty funny to watch them come upstairs and tattle! Even Tori, the youngest, got involved by scratching! :) We had a potluck the Sunday of Christmas. It was a great meeting. It was all of the kids my brothers ages visiting their families. So it was a "childhood revisited" meeting. Except there were a lot of people :) There is a man in our meeting, who was so excited, looking forward to being here. But he got sick! so that was a bummer!! We went to the wellness center many times and swam :) I learned how to play raquetball :) It was a lot of fun and a great work out!! After they all left, it got really quiet with just my parents and I! There may be pictures to come! So after tomorrow we'll be settling into the same old routine, school, work, eat, sleep, or something like that. I love breaks, but I love school too! Anyway, hope you're all doing well. Have a great new year filled with many great memories!

Pause

No, I don't ignore the blogisphere, (is that a word?) but the world stopped for a moment, just so I could blog! ;) With break coming up, things are getting crazier!! Not this last week, but the week before (29-2) was our first full 5 day week of school since, well, I can't remember!! This next week includes a vocal concert, a soup/song supper, meeting, Dr appt, lighting fast trip to pick up my sister(in law) and 2 kids (brother comes later), a late night trip to the airport, and a lot more. I need to learn to study since finals are next week!! I know how to, but I don't like to study. Yeah, I know, in college you need to study or you'll fail. Don't think I haven't heard that before. So luckily my brother will be here, maybe he can help me! :) Ahh, the advantages as the little sister! ;) Then all the family comes, and if you know my family, it isn't small :) Anyway, just thought I'd pop in quick!! Hope you all are doing well!! Don't forget to keep smiling! :)
