I had the opportunity to do a media assignment in my English 2010 class and chose this is my subject. I did a few interviews with my sister and with Bridger - I really like the way it turned out other than you have to turn it up a bit when we are talking and the message goes by really fast - I had to keep it to 3 minutes and didn't want to cut anything out.<br />

Never have been, never will be. But over the last few months because my husband so kindly signed me up for a few races - I was forced into it. We did Ragnar in June - I started training 3 weeks before the race (not smart for someone who had never even ran 1 mile before). My legs were each 4 miles for a total of 12 in a 30 hour time frame. I trained as best I could and got up to 3 miles before the race. Some how I endured - I had an awesome team and we had so much fun. Aside from the blister and lack of sleep I felt okay and was glad I did it.<br />

This weekend we have another one called Epic - it runs from Logan up to Jackson Hole. Dean has done it before and says its beautiful. I'm nervous but excited because I know what to expect after my last experience. My legs are 6.5, 3, 4.8. I am up to 5 miles and am hoping I can make it to the 6.5 without dying first. I was going to do 7 on Saturday but Mason wanted to join me on the run - I couldn't say no. We didn't get out the door until 8:45 and by the time hit 2.5 miles it was dark out so we turned around and used the flash light on my phone to get home. It was fun - Mason was such a trooper and I'm so dang slow he could walk and catch up when he needed.<br />
<br />
I've learned it's a mental thing - I still don't love it - It's a great workout - hard on the mind and the body - and hopefully I can keep it up in small doses!! <br />

See this old boat - it doesn't look like it would float - does it? Well when we bought an investment home in Plain City, they left this boat in their shop out back. We decided to see if it could float and over the 4th of July went camping and ventured up to the property and drove over Monte to Woodruff and put in - we made sure we had a bail bucket in the boat and the kids weren't allowed to take their life jackets off ever. <br />

We did have to use the bail bucket because the boat was taking on water slowly - but we never sank! We did it again this last weekend and went up to upper Birch Creek - Dean had patched the holes so there wasn't nearly the water in the boat. I caught a tiger trout - we ate it for breakfast the next day and it was so yummy! I was so proud of the kids - although we did have Ethan whining quite a bit because he was tired and hungry - for the most part they did great. <br />

These pictures are taken with my iphone - not the best - but safer than taking my big camera out there. We just relaxed the rest of the weekend - took a few hikes - Dean gave the kids motorcycle rides and we ate good food. I love spending time up there with my family - hopefully we get to a few more times before school starts.<br />

Especially now that I'm not scrapbooking anymore (sad ) - this is the only way its going to happen. So first I will start with Baylee's birthday - she turned 5 last week on the 13th and I can't believe it! She's grown up so fast, she acts more like 15 than 5, but I will keep her anyways. She is such a good girl even though we but heads quite a bit - she is so much like me - with a little extra attitude! We had a part for her and her little friends - 7 of her friends were from our old neighborhood in Plain city and 2 from here. I had so much fun decorating - I took a homework hiatus and made decorations and baked for 2 days. Not sure I will ever do it again - but it was fun getting out my scrapbook supplies that have been collecting dust and play a bit. <br />

We had a wonderful Christmas, it came and went sooooooo fast.We spent Christmas eve at my parents and then came home and played a few games and set up for Santa, mom didn't want to make Santa's favorite so we used Sugar Cookies that a friend had brought over that day. *Santa insisted* they were better than the ones i had made that were sitting right there too. <br />

They were so excited to see what Santa had brought :)<br />

Then we made the trek to my parents again (and to be honest *Santa* lives there). We always look forward to see the 'stacks' of presents, and the wonderful food displayed. It has always been this way with them. My parents usually don't see eye to eye, my mom wants to stop WAY before my dad ever does, but there is no controlling him. Even as a child, when we didn't have much, no money, lived in a trailor park, there was always a wonderful Christmas. We, or the grandkids aren't 'spoiled' all year long (he is actually quite the tightwad, a trait i wish i had inherited), but come Christmas, he does it, and he loves it. So we let him...........<br />

I really just sat back and enjoyed this year, not crazy with the camera at all. As a matter of fact, i didn't even pull it out once at Dean's parents. We headed over there after mine and spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying one another's company. My SIL Lori got EVERYONE together for a family photo and hopefully will get a copy of that. So all in all, it was a wonderful day!!<br />
<br />
Here are the layouts i did. The first i did with the new line from <a href="http://missfancypants.typepad.com/">Fancy Pants</a> called <a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/products/love_birds">Love Birds</a>! SO FUN. Super girly and whimsical i think, but i like that because i have one. This is Baylee on her 4th birthday last year. <br />

Next I'm going to share my <a href="http://studiocalico.typepad.com/#">Studio Calico wish list</a>. Not going to miss this opportunity :). My list is pretty long but i will keep it to a minimum - don't want to be too stingy!<br />
<ul><li>Mr. Huey White, Cream or Lunch Tray</li>
<li>Wood Veneer Stars</li>
<li>Notions Flowers</li>
<li>Anything from the Elementary line</li>
</ul>And for my Santa wish list, I'm not asking for much, just a healthy family, good food, and lots under the tree for the kiddos. My dad, still thinks he is Santa, and does a good job at taking care of that. I love his Christmas spirit this time of year, not just because of the gifts, but because of how he loves it so much. The traditions i did as a kid, he is still doing now. It is so fun. <br />
<br />
I was hoping for the Iphone, but so far, Verizon hasn't gotten their crap together and it looks as though its going to be a few more months. So i'm not sure if i just get a Verizon phone or hold out - any thoughts?? Other than that i'm good. The kids lists were pretty mild this year. I am worried about one thing, Mason, my 10 year old, attached a penny to his letter to Santa, and said if he gets it back, then he will know that Santa is real, not sure what to do with that. I'm just not ready for him to not have that true Spirit of Christmas, hey, i'm 34 and i still believe, i have never asked my parents, and they never admitted anything to me, and i like it that way. <br />
Just a few pictures to share before i go: The first few are the kids with Santa at a family Christmas party.<br />

She has been his teacher for almost 3 years. I was so proud of him. He does a great job, i'm glad someone in our family has some musical talent - besides Ethan and his paper jamz guitar :)<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas, for now, i'm enjoying the break from school, not sure what to do with myself, i find myself checking the computer 20 times a day to make sure i don't have to do anything. I did check final grades last night and saw this. I was pretty happy. My math class is just a pass/fail and i barely passed.<br />

We have had a gazillion parties, and the house is decorated, but no gifts bought, no cards sent out (not happening) and no baked yumminess. :( But oh well, tis the life of a full time college student. I have 2 finals tomorrow and 1 Friday then I'm done and will be able to have some fun. I'm over feeling sorry for myself and ready to relax and enjoy what Christmas is all about, spending time with family and enjoying the excitement of the kids.<br />

So we didn't use half of our ornaments. And i wasn't feeling creative enough to find a place for them. But i have to say i am in better spirits and have excepted the fact that i'm not on the ball, that it is okay, and we will still have a fabulous Christmas no matter what. The kids don't really notice, so that is the most important thing, don't want to put a damper on their holiday spirits. I even sat back this year and let them decorate the tree with out telling them where they can put the ornaments, it was kind of fun. <br />

One more thing, i'm really excited that <a href="http://www.memory-works.com/admin/">Memory Works</a> has asked me to be involved in creating projects with some of their new product coming out for CHA - also the Elementary line which is too die for - love the grungy feel. I know your thinking where is she going to find the time. But i will! Here is the website for the <a href="http://simplestories.typepad.com/simple-stories/">Simple Stories</a> program and how it can work.<br />

My life is just spinning in circles right now and i havn't even had the time to stop and enjoy my favorite time of the year. But i have to say I am proud that I was able to complete my December Daily album - my first ever. If your not familiar with it, go check out <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2009/12/december-daily-compilation.html">Ali Edwards blog</a> for more details but pretty much, it is just a keepsake for all the fun things you do during the month. Each day is usually filled with some holiday tradition or party, it is just a matter of taking a picture each day and remembering to write down your thoughts. If your like me, the pictures won't get in until after the holidays, while others, do them weekly. I did mine for the<a href="http://missfancypants.typepad.com/little_miss_fancy_pants/2010/12/fancy-this-december-daily-album.html"> Fancy Pants Blog</a> which gave me that extra push to get it done. If you want instructions, check out the <a href="http://missfancypants.typepad.com/little_miss_fancy_pants/2010/12/fancy-this-december-daily-album.html">blog post</a> over there :). I don't want to bore you with them all - so here are just a few. I used Fancy Pants <a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/products/tradition">Tradition line</a> and I made it very simple - for someone like me with NO TIME - it is perfect!<br />

None last night, and i have school tonight. Ethan is turning 8 tomorrow - so we are playing then too, just making it simple this year, taking him to see Tangled (his choice) and this crazy disgusting Chinese restaurant for ham fried rice and noodles :) - it's his birthday - right?? Then we have another party Saturday afternoon, i have one Saturday night, if i can bring myself to go, and we are celebrating Ethan's birthday on Sunday with family, and we have our annual adult Fondue night on Monday - is it sad that i just feel like it is TOO MUCH! As much as i love it - i feel overwhelmed. I'm sure school isn't helping that matter, i have 3 Finals next week to - one Wed. one Thurs. and my last one Friday, maybe then i will enjoy the holidays. I haven't even bought one gift yet, and i am usually done before the month begins. UGH, okay, the tears are welling up - it's time to change the subject!! Or maybe just end this post and come back on a happier note :)!<br />

We are in the middle of a blizzard, all the more reason to deck the halls...............right?? Anyway, i did get some of the bug out with those ornaments and this layout i did with Lily Bee's <a href="http://www.lilybeedesign.com/paper/22.html">Christmas Town line</a>. Such a great line, with the perfect colors. This is the kids on Christmas morning, i usually hate Christmas morning pics, but these turned out okay.<br />

Hope everyone has a fabulous Holiday weekend. We are headed up to Soda Springs on Saturday also to cut down our tree! Can't wait.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So i registered for my classes for next semester today, i guess it wasn't to terrible if i was willing to do it again right?? I took every class online this time, probably will wait till next fall when Baylee is in Kindergarten to take them at the school. I took, Math 1010 (assuming i will pass 900 - havn't gotten my final grade yet - could be close ), English 1010, Psychology and another History class.

Winners will be announced on November 22, on the <a href="http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/blog" target="_self">Spellbinders Blog</a>!<br />
I used the <a href="http://spellbinderspaperarts.com/2010-holiday-trees.html" target="_blank"> S4-284 2010 Holiday Trees</a>, i started off doing a layout and some how ended up with these fun ornaments! I cut out 5 trees per ornament with paper from the <a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/products/tradition">Fancy Pants Tradition line</a>, folded them in half and glued them together. I then sprayed them with <a href="http://www.mayaroad.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=198_199&products_id=173226">silver Maya mist</a>. Then traced around the edges with Ranger stickles (lime green, fruit punch).<br />

Some quick fall pictures from last saturday, the kids helping dean rake the leaves and then making a big mess by jumping back in them. Then an attack from the crazy dog and his cone.

You had the option of dressing up or not and pretty much my whole family were the only ones dressed up - there were a few other crazies, but not many. I actually don't go all out myself, but i had fun getting ready this year. My mom actually won a contest with her costume this year at work! THis first picture is my mom and I.<br />

I have been super busy with the usual, school, kids and trying to stay on top of house work (definitely the bottom of the list :) ). I did manage to break away this last weekend for a few fun things. Friday, my sister and her kids, my mom and my crew headed to South Salt Lake to Gardner's Village for the Witch Festival. Probably wasn't the smartest of choices since it was UEA and everyone's kids were out of school and there were literally thousands of people there. Not big on huge crowds. We did manage to have some fun though the day started off on the wrong foot, my sister's little boy Bridger who is 3 and suffers from autism went missing. We stopped at one point to look at the witch that was in the creek and he must have kept walking, it was only a matter of seconds. So needless to say for the next half hour we were all panicked and running around trying to find him. Luckily a really nice lady had found him and kept him safe till we could find them, and good thing for us, there were alot of helpful mom's willing to stop what they were doing to help us. When they were united it was a tear jerker, Bridge didn't want to let go of his mommy.........so for the rest of time we just browsed a few shops and called it good. I did get a darling witch costume for Baylee and a few Witch accessories for my witch costume!<br />

Busy, and sometimes i don't feel like i've accomplished enough because i'm stuck behind this computer studying half the time. But it is sweet, i have great friends, great family and am so blessed! I did this layout a few days ago with some of the new <a href="http://www.lilybeedesign.blogspot.com/">Lily Bee</a> goodness. I used paper and diecuts from <a href="http://www.lilybeedesign.com/paper/23.html">Domestic Bliss</a> and then a die cut that i cut up from the <a href="http://www.lilybeedesign.com/paper/18.html">Lovely</a> Collection. This is my cute niece Corrine, they call her Cory, and i just want to squish her! She's beautiful, and curious, and super duper sassy! click on images if you want to see them larger.<br />

I used some fun chipboard butterflies that <a href="http://www.mayaroad.net/">Maya Road</a> send the Lily Bee girls this month as masks and sprayed the Maya mist over them. <br />
<br />
Used the Lily Bee chipboard circles in the centers of those fabulous Sassafras flowers!<br />
<br />
Went to a field trip for Baylee's pre-school the other day. She had a nature hunt - it was so fun, she was given the color red, and had to find anything she could that was red and then made a collage - she did a great job! I had fun watching her explore!<br />

Another fun thing - Mason - my 9 year old, was chosen to be a part of the Gifted Pilot program for Box Elder School District. He was one of 4 fourth graders chosen to participate, i am so PROUD of him. Dean and I are just wondering where the kid got his brains, couldn't possible have been from either of us!!<br />

I've never loved and hated something so much in my entire life. I mean look how darn cute he is - that look just gets to me. And he can be sweet at times. But most of the time he drives me crazy - i feel like a babysitter - or i have another child. I know he only a puppy - and they say with little ones to never wish their years away - well i wish it away! Just a few of them, haha, because i know from previous experience that one day he will be the best dog ever!! <br />

I will stop while i'm ahead and show more later! I'm ready for this weekend. I actually get to go play. My friends have a condo this weekend about an hour away and we are just relaxing - playing games, watching chick flicks and leaving the world behind. They are crazy into French Cuisine and love cooking these amazing big fancy meals out of Julia's cookbook - i'm going to let them do that - while i do nothing. I hate cooking :) Leaving the sstress of school and a disorganized house for a few days! Yay! I will hopefully be back tomorrow to share who the new FANCY PANTS girls are going to be - i can't even stand it!! <br />
<br />

Feeling really guilty about neglecting this place. We've just had alot going on. You can usually find me at my desk with these.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj758kwEfRqSGvrrwAm5e-n_H52ZF9cij4_WTwLUfBwcubX-T35RNh6WhgSoED3sDWf4WnRUFcuWgQ9FpY_B6jV9P6kh07PfaJZ3vtbeR_DxoYVKeaQ1oZJ8KagM1DolenFt0adsUQ_NI0m/s1600/school-books.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj758kwEfRqSGvrrwAm5e-n_H52ZF9cij4_WTwLUfBwcubX-T35RNh6WhgSoED3sDWf4WnRUFcuWgQ9FpY_B6jV9P6kh07PfaJZ3vtbeR_DxoYVKeaQ1oZJ8KagM1DolenFt0adsUQ_NI0m/s400/school-books.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Wow - i didn't realize how much time and energy goes into this - and I had also forgotten that i am not naturally smart - that i have to work at it. That i have forgotten how to retain information and i find it going in one ear and out the other. But i enjoy it for the most part - besides my bone head math class.<br />
<br />
The kids also started school and so far seem to enjoy it. Both of them have made a few friends and don't complain to much. I'm sure in a few more months it will seem like their 'normal'. I hope anyways.<br />

I have a few projects to share - yes i have scrapped a little bit!! Luckily i still get together once a month with a group of girls that i used to live by. One thursday a month. Keeps me going! I used the new <a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/products/it%27s_your_day">It's your Day</a> line from <a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/">Fancy Pants Designs</a> for both projects. I have had this butterfly Mason made out forever wanting to scrap it with a school picture and when i got this new line the colors were perfect!! <br />

Sorry ....... i'm just waiting for some normalcy here - and it is slowly but surely coming my way. School starts for the boys on Monday - never thought the day would come and feeling a little guilty for being excited. But it's true!! I have fallen short in the getting ready for school department -luckily i had a stash of glue, crayons and the necessities from last year and Old Navy.com came to the rescue for new school clothes (which still have not arrived yet). The only thing i need to get now is shoes. Phew. <br />
<br />
Celebrated this handsome guys' birthday this weekend - and this is exactly what he did.......without me. We usually go as a couple every year for his -bday - but our friends that go with us - had a new baby a few weeks ago so the girls kinda got uninvited.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOh_GznH5qhea1NwIxQZN9X_vzilsxkKDFrDRtrUSN7IfVm9vEZg1C8qUmSJpQqQ5Uyqu_kk_XLFn48RziB22Y_obMumm01HVHTYwSnevTeQVgZMYn5rrUz5JfJUVMBNOCLONEm8WEP0TX/s1600/dean.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOh_GznH5qhea1NwIxQZN9X_vzilsxkKDFrDRtrUSN7IfVm9vEZg1C8qUmSJpQqQ5Uyqu_kk_XLFn48RziB22Y_obMumm01HVHTYwSnevTeQVgZMYn5rrUz5JfJUVMBNOCLONEm8WEP0TX/s400/dean.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Such a great husband - grateful to have him in our lives and hope he had a fabulous time - even if he did leave us home! :) The kids bought him gifts from the dollar store and wrapped them himself and we baked a cake and celebrated when he got home Sunday night. Then last night had a BBQ - our first official get together even though i don't have a couch and when we weren't outdoors enjoying the cool weather - we were sitting on the floor in the living room enjoying eachother's company.<br />
<br />
Did a quick card for the<a href="http://www.lilybeedesign.blogspot.com/"> Lily Bee Blog</a> a few days ago - about all i can muster right now - having creativity issues! I havn't even submitted since JUNE - wow. I"m falling behind. One thing i did notice while Dean was away - i usually don't mind him being gone because i have free rain in the scrap room and no guilt - this time - I missed him like crazy and i think its cuz i didn't want to scrapbook - at all - so i didn't have anything to keep me occupied after the kids went to bed!! Crazy..........with hunting season coming up - i better get back into it - the only problem is - I will be a full time College student and probably wont have the time! <br />

Hope everyone has a fabulous day.......<br />

They came out with 4 BEAUTIFUL lines and i loved every single one of them. Just wanted to share them with you. Go check out the new website to see all of the new product<a href="http://www.fancypantsdesigns.com/"> here!</a> The first layout is of our darn cute puppy - the new line is called Happy Together - great muted colors!<br />

And the fringe - bought these scissors forever ago at the container store to cut up my checkbooks - then seen it for sale over at <a href="http://www.studiocalico.com/">Studio Calico</a> - who would of thought - so i used them here. <br />
<br />
Next up is the Christmas line called Tradition - soooo beautiful! I LOVE these pictures of my kids in front of the tree last year - the yellow in this line brought out the tree in these photos.<br />

Last but not least is the Birthday line called It's your day - could be used for any type of celebration - or any layout for that matter - fun bright colors.<br />
<br />
I'm just searching for time to be able to use it all again - still haven't scrapped since i moved in - I went to a 'scrap night' with my friends thursday and didn't scrap - not sure what it is! Too much fun talking i guess. My head is out of the game. School for me starts in 2 weeks!! Wow - time is flying and i'm not sure i'm ready for it all.<br />
<br />
Dean is off running this crazy race <a href="http://www.epicrelays.com/">'EPIC'</a> - from Logan to Jackson Hole - a relay of course - but still - who does that - I mean all the power to him - i'm probably just jealous that i don't have or 'get' the time to run or excercise like that. But i hope he does well and is safe - they run all through the night - 24 hours straight - kinda crazy if you ask me! <br />
<br />

I didn't do a very good job! In the middle of a move and all - with no computer - i ended up scrapbooking these projects in my camping trailer and now that i finally have a computer and my editing software up and running i was able to get the projects on line. Laura has a great store over there and i loved all the product i was able to work with. My first time EVER using<a href="http://www.scribblescrabble.net/"> Scribble Scrabble</a> and i was very impressed - love the muted colors and great texture of their paper!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Had a rough day yesterday - a week ago my Uncle Blain - my mom's little brother died. Serosis of the liver. Such a sad story because he was such a good man- just had some bad habits. He was only 46. So we spent the day at the funeral and then drove to Idaho to bury him in Portage. <br />

I feel like i'm at a stand still - but still unpacking - anyways!! Here is my favorite part of the house - i so wish i would have saved pictures from what it looked like previously so you could see the drastic change - but i didn't. The walls were red - the cabinets oak and the counter tops Formica.<br />

I think it will work well - but as you can see - i don't have a stove, kitchen faucet or dishwasher installed yet. And this blue was SO BLUE the first time around- i had to have them repaint with a lighter - more aqua tone - it was scary. My laundry is still that bright blue because i didn't dare ask him to change that too.
