Long Time, No Blog

2009-09-10T12:40:00.000-07:00

Hey there everyone. Its been so long since I've been on here...and I've really missed it! My camera was out of commision again and I have just been really busy so there hasn't been much extra internet time.

I decided to start college next semester so I can work and get money saved up before this big journey begins...so most of my time lately has been spent at work. I really enjoy working so it hasn't been to bad.

My camera is back again and so I do plan to be keeping up with the bloggy world again! Today is a great day to come back considering it is a special day for TWO reasons! My nephew, Brayden, turns one year old today!!! And...I got a yorkie puppy last night! She is 8 weeks old, and her name is Ellie =] We are getting together tonight for Brayden's birthday but his party isn't for another two weeks...so be looking for those pics soon!

Thats all for now everyone, don't worry...I'll be back this time =]

Thanks girlies!!

I currently have a broken camera...therefore, it might be awhile before I post new pics. Just give me some time and hopefully I'll be back very soon!

I'll still be checking other blogs!

Then-Now

2009-07-03T15:28:00.000-07:00

Isn't it crazy how fast little kids grow and change? I was going through pictures of Mason and Brayden and I found these two and thought that it would make a really good then and now post for my blog. Here they are...The first pictures was taken with a camera phone so the quality isn't great...but isn't that so funny? Thats not even one year later and they both look so much older to me.

Meet my new baby cousin

2009-06-15T13:06:00.000-07:00

This week's theme over at IHeartFaces is "sepia." Being that this is one of my favorite photo edits, I knew I had a good entry! After searching through my pics, this is what I came up with...

Kid Entry

This is my nephew Brayden when he was about 5 months old. I loved the colors in this pic...but I really love the new look that sepia gave it!

Happy Birthday Alexander =]

Memorial Day weekend!

2009-05-26T09:43:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful long weekend!! We actually got to have a soccer game and go swimming! I think it is safe to say that summer is just around the corner!

This was Brayden's first time in the pool...he loved it!

Is he not the sweetest thing?

Mason loves the pool too!

Brothers in the pool together for the first time!

IHeartFaces week 19

2009-05-19T09:36:00.000-07:00

This week's contest is for the Iheartfaces Blurb book! I thought this sweet little face was perfect!

Graduation!

2009-05-17T08:53:00.000-07:00

I did it! I am finally a high school graduate after 13 years of school. So now...the real world begins. My goal in life is to become a nurse, a wife, and a mother. I pray to one day achieve all of these goals. No matter what happens, I'll keep God first in my life and all should be possible!

Graduation went really good. I was so nervous to walk across that stage but once I got up there...it wasn't bad at all. My last name is at the end of the alphabet, therefore, it was a long wait. The wait was not bad though because I had many friends to watch and cheer on as they accepted their diplomas =] I was very proud of Alex as he got his diploma and walked back to his seat! I am so glad that this is something that we got to share as a couple. My family was there to cheer me on as I walked to my seat! It was a great day and knowing that I'm done with high school made it even better!

Senior Prom =]

2009-05-06T14:50:00.000-07:00

Prom was amazing! Me and Alex decided that it might be the most fun that we've had our 4 years of high school. The day started (for me) very early! Hair and make up and pictures...it was all amazing. I was so excited to see Alex as for he had not seen my dress nor had I seen his tux. It was the greatest feeling when I saw him all done up =] What a cutie he is! We danced the night away and then went bowling with some friends. And might I say that we were both very off "schedule" the next day. We just wanted to sleep that Sunday away. Here are some pictures...if I get the chance soon, I will post more of them. These ones are some of my favorites!

I'm still here... & Easter Pictures

2009-04-16T08:35:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone, so sorry for my lack of post...things have just been crazy here! I only have three more weeks of high school, therefore, all of the last minute work and projects have been piling up. Then work on top of school, there just isn't much free time for blogging. Right now, however, I do have some free time!!! Here are some Easter pictures that have very badly wanted to be posted lately...

We had a great Easter this year. Alex and I took the boys to a family Easter egg hunt and they both had a fun time! Mason was so cute running around with the older kids hunting for all of the eggs that he could find. Brayden, however, well he still needed quite a bit of help. He did get him quite a few eggs with the help of his cousin Samantha! After the hunt, we headed back home to do some sidewalk chalk. Mason won the chalk as his prize for doing such a good job finding eggs! Brayden won a little stuffed animal that he carried around and chewed on for hours. It was a beautiful, wonderful Easter Sunday!

A fun game of hop scotch after a long day of Easter egg hunts, eating lots of food, and taking no nap...
What a beautiful Easter Sunday!

Spring Break Pictures!

2009-03-29T16:23:00.000-07:00

I am home from my spring break camping trip and it was amazing! I had an amazing time with my family...especially Alex and my cousins. We got there Thursday night and me and Sam went for a ride in my aunt and uncle's jeep with the top off...it was freezing but a lot of fun! Then, after that, we all sat around the fire for the rest of the night. The next day was really rainy and we didn't do much but play games and watch movies all day. So that was our very relaxing day! Then on Saturday, me and Alex went down to the lake with my cousins. It was amazing. The rain had cleared up and the weather was gorgeous! We went up on a hike in the woods and took so many pictures! On that night...the same night that the weather had been beautiful, we had massive thunderstorms with tornado watch. I do not like storms, and I especially do not like them when you are inside of a camper. The storm ended up not being to bad at all, just rain and some high winds. We ended Saturday night with a good movie. Then we got up this morning and had to start packing it up. I was sad to leave because I just love being out by the lake and I love this vacation from school. Now we are back home still trying to get everyone unpacked and ready for the new week. Tomorrow is "senior skip day" therefore my spring break gets one extra day!! YEAH!

I hope that everyone had a great weekend! Enjoy the pictures!Me and Sam before the ride in the jeepNow we're freezing!Keeping Warm!Wow, that was some wind!Tons of card games played during the rain...Getting ready to go on the trailI really wanted to stop at the playground!Cute =]Kisses on the kissing bench!Hehe!

I leave this afternoon for my spring break camping trip and I won't be back until Sunday! I am so excited and cannot wait for this vacation! I hope that you all have a great rest of the week, and a wonderful weekend!

Here is a picture of Brayden eating his "carrots." Such a cute messy baby!

The very first young man who had my heart...

2009-03-25T16:17:00.000-07:00

I love this little guy so much! I took these pictures on Saturday. It isn't often that he is willing to let me practice photography with him anymore, therefore, when he does...I am all for it! I think that he did a great job for me =] I think he has the cutest side profile.

Mason is going to start playing in a "pre" soccer program! Its for little ones age three and it helps them prepare for when they actually start playing soccer at age four. When I saw the picture of him in his adorable little chin pads and cleats, I had to post it!

My precious nephews =]

2009-02-16T10:06:00.000-08:00

Many of my regular readers know all about my two nephews, Mason and Brayden. I have some newer readers, and it has been awhile since I have posted about the boys...so today that is what I'm going to do!

Mason Moore is three years old. He is very hyper, loves to run around, but yet he is so cuddly and lovable.

Then there is Brayden Parker. Brayden is five months old. He is the super cuddly little man who gives you the biggest grins you'll ever see!

Both of these little men are wonderful blessings to me and my family and we cherish every minute with them. They are both growing up so fast!

There ya go, you have now been formally introduced to my adorable nephews!

Valentine's Day Recap.

2009-02-15T20:21:00.001-08:00

I sure am a very very lucky girl! I am sure that I have the best boyfriend ever! He greeted me with a dozen red roses yesterday when I opened the front door. And then after he took me out to lunch, Alex gave me my other gifts. It was the cutest thing...he made me little heart shaped cakes with my very favorite kind of cake (strawberry cake and cream cheese icing) Then we exchanged gifts and he got me the wallet that I have wanted forever! I was so incredibly happy =] He is the sweetest most precious thing ever! Then late last night we went out to a movie...it wasn't really my pick for a Valentine's Day movie as it was Friday the 13th, but it was still so fun. Getting scared is always fun if you like scary movies. So together we had an amazing day and I am one very fortunate young lady!

Happy Valentine's Day =]

Tired and Grumpy

2009-02-12T18:48:00.000-08:00

First off, I want to say I'm sorry for my lack of posting this past week. I just recently got a job at a local restaurant therefore I am very busy with work and school. Whenever I am not working, I just want to spend time with my family and friends. Whenever I am not doing that, I just want to do nothing therefore, the internet hasn't been a top priority of mine. Tonight I am trying to get focused and study for my goverment test tomorrow but I just can't seem to get my mind off of my blog. I really wanted to do a post just to let you all know that I am still here...just busy and preoccupied. I'm sorry that this post is just me telling about how tired I have been and I do not really have anything to share. I do not have to work any this weekend so hopefully I will not get called in to work and I will be fresh next week to get back on track and post on a regular basis!

I hope you've had a great week =]

Yay, its Friday! I always love doing Friday post for two reasons...1) because its Friday and 2) because that means that its a FPF post! This week its the little man, Brayden =] I took this last weekend while we were all sitting at the table on family night! He had the sweetest smiles so I instantly started looking for my camera! Enjoy =]

Happy Birthday Mason!

2009-02-03T18:44:00.000-08:00

Wow, I am in disbelief as I write this! I cannot believe that my sweet Mason is three years old today. I swear it seems that yesterday he was just a tiny little baby learning to crawl and say da-da. Now...he is running around, potty trained, and can have complete real conversations with us, its crazy how fast time goes by. This little young man has brought so many smiles and laughs to my family =] He is just growing up way to fast!

Happy Birthday MaeMae =] I love you bubs!=]

Trip to the circus =]

2009-01-24T15:45:00.001-08:00

Today, we went to the Ringling Brothers Circus at the Sommet Center! It was amazing! We have been waiting for quite a few weeks and Mason was so pumped up this morning, it was the cutest thing. All he has talked about for the past three weeks is going to the circus =] Brayden stayed with Aunt Sharon since he is still so little. So we all got up early and got ready to head to the greatest show on earth, the Ringling Bros. Circus!

The three of us had to ride in the very back of the van on the way to the circus, so we just had our own little fun! Don't ask...thats the face he requested to make =]Me and Alex waiting for the show to start!Trying to see whats going on before the show started.A quick pic with one of the actors! He is a little nervous, thats why he is making a silly face!We got our clown noses on!The whole crew coming out to get the show started!TigersBaby HorsesLook closely...he is riding a motorcycle on the tight rope, while a lady sits on a trapeze swing under him. CRAZYChinese Acrobats The elephants seemed so smart! He made it until the VERY end!We all had an amazing time and hopefully we will be able to go back and take Brayden next time the circus comes to town!

Could this get any more random?

2009-01-22T18:42:00.000-08:00

I really do not have anything to blog about today, or the past couple of days for that matter. My camera was messing up a few days ago so I just charged up the battery and let them have a much needed rest...therefore, I do not have any pictures to post.

Nothing is going on at school that is worth posting about, although I did just purchase my prom dress! I really wish I could post a picture but I don't want my boyfriend seeing it and I'm scared he might catch a glimpse if I post about it. I just want him to be suprised!

Tomorrow I have a job interview at a local restraunt. I am hoping so much that I get it so I can begin to save money so that I can have a nice full bank account! It would just be really good having extra money and being able to pay car insurance and gas money. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

See, I told you it was random! I should have a good post for tomorrow because now that my camera is back to working, I was able to take some pictures tonight!

Thats all for now!

Photo Shoot with the nephews =]

2009-01-19T10:08:00.000-08:00

My sister and I decided that it would be fun to dress the boys up and let me get some pictures of them! After hours and about 100 pictures later, this is what we got...

He is starting to look like such a little boy and not a baby anymore. It kind of makes me a little sad. But isn't he the most handsome little man?

Look at that sweet smile!

An attempt for a good picture!

2009-01-08T18:26:00.000-08:00

Over summer break while I was vacationing in Gatlinburg with Alex and his family, I purchased these shirts for Mason and Brayden. They are cute little tee's that say "My aunt got me this shirt because she loves me." This purchase was actually made before Brayden was born so this past weekend was the first time they wore them! They actually came in the house on my birthday sporting their adorable matching shirts! I decided that I wanted to sit them down and get a picture to capture this because by the way things were looking, chubby little Brayden won't be fitting in his shirt much longer ;) So we sat the boys down in a big comfy chair and just started randomly clicking the camera. May I just say that a 2 1/2 year old and a 3 1/2 month old are almost impossible to photograph together...if one of them was posed right, then the other had a goofy face or wasn't even looking at the camera. Just as Brayden would shine his new precious grin, Mason would decide to imitate his favorite super hero or if Mason decided to show his sweet smile, then Brayden would randomly stare at the ceiling fan. Going through these pictures after the photo session was completed, was the funniest thing ever! Some of the faces that these boys make are just priceless! I decided that you guys had to see the pictures from our photo shoot...if anyone needs a good laugh, then just send them over here ;)

Both of their faces get me in this one =]Aww. Mason's sweet smile makes you think we're getting somewhere...umm maybe not...

So sweet =] looks like we've almost got the perfect one!Ah! Nevermind...YAY! We did it! Aren't they precious?!?

Some Sunday Sweetness =]

2009-01-04T12:29:00.001-08:00

Look at this face! Many of us need this kind of sweetness today since its back to school and work for most everyone tomorrow. Ewww. Oh well, only 18 more weeks until I graduate =]

Have a wonderful day!

My Birthday =]

2009-01-03T20:37:00.000-08:00

Today was so amazing =] My mom woke me up this morning and took me to the mall to get the make-up that I have wanted forever! Then we went around a few places looking for some things for my little family get together. Once all that was done, Mom dropped me off at the house and her and Daddy went out to get some extra party things. Around 12:00, Alex came and got me to take me out for lunch =] we ate at Golden Eagle...my favorite mongolian restraunt! Then at 2:00 started my little party...it was just some family over for cake and ice cream and we had such an amazing time! Then to conclude my birthday night, Alex took me out shopping and I got some really cute clothes and he also treated me to a big pretzel and lemonade (my favorite =]

This was by far one of the best birthdays ever! I am very fortunate to have such amazing family, great friends, and a wonderful boyfriend to share it with =]

Here are some pictures from today...

Me with my cake!

so happy.

First post of 2009!

2009-01-02T13:30:00.000-08:00

First of all, I hope that everyone had a very nice New Year's! I had a fun night at Alex's house bringing in the new year with him and his family and some friends! Whenever the clock hit 12:00 we gladly toasted our sparkling grape juice and cheered! After that, we all just sat around for a little while and then called it a night...or morning I guess you could say =]

New Year's Day was very good too! Alex and I met up with my family to have a great lunch that my mom cooked. We all had to eat our turnip greens and black eyed peas to symbolize money and good luck for 2009...its a tradition! Even if you think its nasty...you have to take at least one bite! And since he eats absolutely no veggies, Alex wasn't to thrilled about his portion of peas and turnip greens! After lunch we just all spent the rest of the day together as a family and had a great night!

I hope you all had a wonderful New Years and have a very Happy 2009 =]

Me and Alex just taking some crazy pictures on New Years Day!

Tonight is the night =]

2008-12-31T09:00:00.001-08:00

Well, is everyone ready to be up until midnight and later? I'm excited! Just wanted to say everyone be safe and be careful tonight! Tomorrow starts the resolutions...therefore I will also be starting another blog! I'm still keeping this one but the other will just be like a journal concerning my goals for 2009! Have Fun!

Happy New Year's Eve =]

Another Blog...

2008-12-30T21:33:00.000-08:00

I need some help

2008-12-30T13:10:00.000-08:00

Ok, after messing with my blog forever trying to jazz it up for my birthday, I just decided to go back to using the cutest blog on the block template...how does this look? The thing that I need help on is that whenever I was editing things on my blog, I lost my blog scroll. This had all of the blogs that I visit on a regular basis and it was just a direct link to each one. So if you don't mind, please comment or email me (ilovehim92807@yahoo.com) with your direct url that will get me to your blog. That would help me tremendously so I will not have to search everyones blog and then find the url. I understand if you do not have the time, but I would greatly appreciate it!

Thank you everyone!

p.s. I thought that everyone would love to see this...

is that not the sweetest smile?

Snow day =]

2008-12-15T16:31:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone, sorry for the slacking in blogger world the past few weeks. Everyone in my family has been sick and then I got sick so things have just been crazy. To top all the madness off, I have exams this week therefore there just isn't much time for internet! I have been blog browsing this evening and caught up with everyone though! I just wanted to let you all know what was going on.

Last Friday was our first snow day of this school year. It just started on Thursday night and would not stop! Now you must know that this was a big deal for where I live, and in some places one inch isn't a big deal but for us...we were so happy! I got a shot of the night time snowfall!

Sorry this isn't really an exciting post, I will be back into the full blogger mode early next week! Check back soon...

Favorite Photo Friday!

2008-12-05T15:11:00.001-08:00

This picture was taken about a week ago. Still when I see it I can't help but laugh. The funny thing is that I didn't know he was back there doing that until I looked at the picture. He always makes me laugh =]

I hope that you all have a beautiful weekend filled with Holiday cheer =]

and don't forget to check out my blog all about my nephews!!

2008-11-27T15:16:00.001-08:00

about the new header? I like it and I think its very cute, but the picture is blurry where I zoomed in so much. Do you think I should keep it or start over?

I know its a little early but...

The attempt to get a good picture..

2008-11-24T17:01:00.000-08:00

Yesterday we went out to the Greenway to take pictures for our Christmas card. We thought that we would amuse ourselves on the way by taking fun pictures in the car. Thats whevever I found out, we cannot take a normal picture! One of us always has our mouth wide opened or we're not looking at the camera. After many attempts, it turned into fun and games. Here are a few of many crazy pictures taken on the way to the park...ENJOY!

oh well, at least we have fun =]

New Header =]

Welcome home sweet Lil =]

Feel Better Lily Bug

2008-11-06T16:28:00.001-08:00

Sweet Lily, a little girl that I babysit, has been in the hospital for over a week now with a painful virus that causes her to break out with blisters and sores in her mouth and on her face. She has had a rough week but thankfully she is getting better and will most likely get to come home this weekend! That is such great news because this poor little girl has been through so much pain. She is on a feeding tube right now because she could not eat due to the pain from the blisters. Please pray that Lily Bug gets to come home very soon and everything continues to get better!

Happy Halloween!

2008-11-02T15:31:00.000-08:00

More updates soon =]

The song that reminds me of him =]

2008-10-11T12:20:00.000-07:00

This song reminds me so much of Alex! I love it and I do definitely consider it our song.

If the heart is always searching,Can you ever find a home?I've been looking for that someone,I'll never make it on my ownDreams can't take the place of loving you,There's gotta be a million reasons why it's true.

When you look me in the eyes,And tell me that you love me.Everything's alright,When you're right here by my side.When you look me in the eyes,I catch a glimpse of heaven.I find my paradise,When you look me in the eyes.

How long will I be waiting,To be with you againGonna tell you that I love you,In the best way that I can.I can't take a day without you here,You're the light that makes my darkness disappear.

More and more, I start to realize,I can reach my tomorrow,I can hold my head up high,And it's all because you're by my side.

When you look me in the eyes,And tell me that you love me.Everything's alright,When you're right here by my side.When I hold you in my arms,I know that it's forever.I just gotta let you know,I never wanna let you go.

When you look me in the eyes.

And tell me that you love me.Everything's alright,When you're right here by my side.When you look me in the eyes,I catch a glimpse of heaven.I find my paradise,When you look me in the eyes.Oh
