I just wanted to show everyone what Heather and Maureen helped me make for Emmy. Isn't it sooo cute =). I have not commited to a journal for her or scrapbooking so.... she better like it because this is IT.

Just loungin' at the store, too bad this chair was so expensive...it would have been a keeper!

We will be replacing this with a better video of her talking hopefully soon!

She gets shy in front of the camera =)

Time for a change!!

Hello everyone, so I have been going crazy lately with the whole transition from being super busy salon owner/stylist/mommy to ...PT stylist/full time mommy ( I was always full time mommy!) I tell you this is not an easy thing to do, contrary to what most may think. I have just realized that I have been used to a schedule for most of my life and I now know that this is a key ingredient what I have been missing lately to my stay at home mommy routine. People may be able to do the stay home thing without this, but I am still new at this... and I need a schedule! So, as you may have already guessed, I have created a weekly schedule for myself and although most of you may not benefit from it, I thought that I would post it because gratefully I was able to get direction on my schedule from another persons blog (just a random person.) So enjoy....also, hopefully I will be updating my blog now regularly.

I got a new camera!!!!

2009-05-06T16:53:00.000-07:00

In my quest to become better at taking pictures of my family, I decided to take ownership of the motto "out with the old and in with the new"...camera that is. I just got my camera today and I am soooo excited. I took a couple pics of Emmy just to prove it =).

Here is a picture of her new favorite thing to do now... shut doors! Its funny because she doesnt cry until she is left by herself for a little while. She's already and independent woman!

This is our yard and the front of the house. I havent got any decent pictures of the inside yet.

Our new house

2008-12-12T16:48:00.000-08:00

Since Michael and I have been married, we have had terrible luck with our housing situation. We have either lived in a crappy conditions in the nice part of town or a nice living conditions in the crappy part of town. We just couldnt get it right.... until now!!! We are renting the most PERFECT house we could have ever hoped to rent, it is well worth the wait. Here are some pictures of it. The property is on a 1/4 of an acre, I didnt even know that property like this existed in the bay area. This is our driveway, you can't see any neighbors!!

Our trip to Arnold

2008-10-21T22:14:00.000-07:00

A couple of weeks ago Michael, Emmy and I went on our first family vacation to Arnold, Ca.!!! I took about three hours to get there, but it was well worth the wait, the clean smell in the air was worth the drive alone.
Here are pictures of the chalet we stayed in, and our trip to columbia and the Big trees. Columbia is an old gold mining town, full of really old and interesting buildings and people who volunteer there time to pretend like they still live in old times to entertain tourists like Michael and I. Emmy was such a good girl, I guess what they say about babies and camping is true.

Why?!

Why am I creating this Blog? It is because Deanna a.k.a the "Devil" forced me against my will, and wants me to devote even more time to my computer than I already am. I guess she doesnt understand that I dont like typing unless I have to, and I don't take many pictures... this is why Heavenly Father gave me Joy and Heather.

Regretfully, I am horrible at displaying how much I care for my friends and family...so this is my attempt to show you that I do give a hoot.

For the people who make me smile...Deanna is one :D
