I have really been eating healthy and working out...but a box full of these just sound delicious today...

Too bad See's is like 20 minutes away and I have homework to do or I would totally make the drive:)

Shoping...

I LOVE to go shopping...but i haven't been able to lately with how busy i am and the fact that we are trying to save...

Today, Grandma and I went to Fashion Place for lunch and shop around...

She talked me into buying some really cute boots from Macy's...



well then we went to Nordstrom on the way out and I just window shopped there... Here are some things that are now on my Nordstrom Wish List...

cute leopard scarf...

(long-enough) cute skirt

My Nordstrom list could go on for days but I would get myself into trouble if I never stopped looking!

Lately...

So When I learned how to blog Ryan started to make fun of how many posts I was doing... but then my lovely sister-in-law informed me that it didn't matter what he thought and that I should BLOG about EVERYTHING :) So I am going to:) (Thanks for the advice Tinster)

Lately..Ryan and I have been so busy with homework and school.. I hate it. I am so glad I am in my last year of school and Ryan is almost done too!

Well I wanted to share my recent homework assignment that I had fun with...

Okay, they really aren't that cool but I am excited that I am learning techniques with my camera! :)


Ryan's homework (and work) looks a little something like this...

** Very confusing and using a computer all day long..**

Well..besides our boring lives of school and work... my family has exciting news...


I am going to be an auntie to the newest addition of our family. Chris and Tina are expecting their baby girl in just about 1 week and I am so excited for them! :)

Diaper Cake

Our good friends Mike and Jessett just had their 3rd kid about 3 weeks ago...

I decided to make her a Diaper Cake as her present...
It consisted of over 70 diapers, toys, baby shampoo, lotion, powder and headbands.
I had so much fun creating this cute gift!

Congrats Mike and Jessett:)

Utah vs. USC...and...BYU vs. Texas

Ryan is from Texas but he is going to BYU so we will see who takes the big "W".

Eurpoe Trip--France

We were so lucky to be able to spend 15 days in Europe with my whole family. It was such a blast and we took many pictures to document the wonderful trip...

Here is a start of France.. I will post Italy later:)

After a full day and night of traveling we arrived in Paris and went straight to the Louvre...

Eiffel Tower during the day...

On top of the Eiffel Tower:)...it was very windy up there.
...and at Night! SO beautiful!Versailles...
Heck ya...we are models:)

Lake Powell Memories...

I was practicing for my photography class and Sean that it would be funny to jump like this...

On our second night there we had Frito pie and one of the bags of chips went missing and no one knew where it went. The next day Ryan and I find this...

Ryan was a moutain man this trip. He built fires and fought off (and killed) a rattle snake!...what a STUD

Labor Day...

I am new to the blogging thing but here is a start:

This past weekend Ryan and I went to Lake Powell with my family and family friends, the Furniss'. We were able to go for a long weekend and it was so much fun! Lindsay and Loren picked us up and we drove down. We didn't get into Page, AZ until 11:30 and we still had to do our grocery shopping for our meals. We finally got to the Marina around 1 am and we got our beds all ready. and my beds I mean folding down the seats and sleeping with shirts as pillows and no blankets. It was a disaster of an idea to sleep in a car over night...never again will we do it. We had four fun days of family time, swimming, wakeboarding, tubing and eating. (I think I gained 5 pounds from how much I ate) I love Lake Powell and wish we could have gone longer but work and school wouldn't allow it. THERE IS ALWAYS A NEXT YEAR

I will post pictures later...
