On hot day at the County Fair.

We went to the Maricopa County Fair last weekend. Cadence had so much fun looking at all the animals. She couldn't ride any rides because she was to short. Oh well I guess there is always next year. We enjoyed it to, Jason especially loved watching the motocross.

We had a fun, sunny Easter yesterday! We went to Papago Park in Tempe and had a fun day taking pictures and giving Cadence her Easter basket. She loved finding all the eggs inside her baskets. We had a really good time. Here are some pictures of her in her cute Easter dress. I was experimenting with Adobe Lightroom on these pictures.

I tried!

Her is my attempt of making a cute Easter card for Cadence.



Like I said.....I tried!

Gotta love the sport!

One teammate sent out on a stretcher and another poor sport kicked out of the game. What an exciting day it has been for basketball. Because of the disqualification and the forfeit of the team our mens team got to go the region finals. yay! We took 2nd in the finals. We only lost by two points, such a close game. Here our some pics of the team that I have been taking at a few of their games.

Cadence was so excited to watch her dad play!



Here is my hubby!!!

Create

I love when people show there creative sides on their blogs. I was really touched with Liz Kartchner's blog about President Uchtdorf's talk on creativity. Liz is such an amazing person, I was really blessed to have had her as a young women leader growing up. Go check out her blog, it is full of many daily inspirations. So anyways, I have started to scrapbook again. I may not be the best at it, but it's fun for me. Here is a page I made for my sister. I left the journaling blank, so that she can put something about her best friend. I am working on some other layouts and will have them up hopefully soon...with a 17 month old I have to wait for her afternoon nap to be able to get much done.

My New Toy!!!

Remember that camera I wanted. Well I bought it!!! I was so excited, I haven't been able to put it down. Thank you tax return! Here are some pics I took of Cadence and other stuff while experimenting with new camera.

Quick Trip to Vegas

My little sister was going down for a wedding and the bride wanted me to do her hair , so I jumped at the opportunity to go to VEGAS!! We had a lot of fun. Grandma and Grandpa were also there and took Cadence for a night, so that we could have a night to ourselves. Thanks!!

We stopped at the Hoover Dam

Walked the Strip and rode on roller coasters,

Went to a wedding


And I did some wedding hair!

Overall it was a fun weekend and nice getaway. And I got to see the strip with no lights on. They turned off all the lights for an hour for Global Warming. It was weird to see it so dark.

Stiff neck

I've had some major deCisiOns this past week. It's been kind of hard because I am not much of a decision maker. Last week I went to an interview to work for an awesome salon. The following day they called me and offered me a position. The only problem is that they were looking for someone who could work full-time and work Sundays. I told them that I would have to get back to them and let them know. I had to think really hard if I wanted to start my career, but than on Saturday our bishop came over to our home and asked if I would serve as the Relief Society chorister. Of course I said yes and that left the whole job thing a little more difficult. Not to mention leaving my little Cadence with someone to watch her as I worked was not something I want to do. Today I called and said that I would not be able to accept the job at this time, but maybe in the future. It was really tough for me because I have been wanting to work for quite sometime, but my heart just told me it wasn't the right time for me.

So all of these decisions left me with a STIFF NECK. I am pretty sure it's the stress lately that did it. It's been hurting for quite a few days and this morning it was just too much pain. I went to a chiropractor and got some work done on it. I felt a little better after that. Hopefully I wont have anymore stress for a little while.

Oh and one more thing I made a scrapbook page for my cute niece who is turning two in a few days. Here are some pics:






I had to make it an 8.5 x 11 page because that's the size of her baby book and it would be nice to keep all of it together. Hope you all like it.

Picture Princess Contest

So I was just browsing around and I found this website Shabby Apple and I fell in love. They have the cutest dresses for little girls and women. Then I discovered that they are having a Picture Princess contest. The winner will win an entire Shabby Baby Spring 2009 wardrobe. I just have to enter Cadence into it. Wouldn't she look so cute in this dress from their little girls collection.

In order to enter in the competition I need to post 3 pictures of Cadence here on my blog:






And I have to explain why she is the "Picture Princess":

Well Cadence Lily is our little princess since the day she was born. I mean doesn't her name sound like a princess? She is so fun and happy all the time. She can put a smile on anyone's face. She is also very photogenic, and loves to get her picture taken. She always says "cheese" every time you go take her picture and gives a huge cheesy grin. She would look so cute in the Shabby Baby wardrobe, and as you can tell from her pictures above she loves to dress up!!! She would be a perfect choice for this position and hope to be enjoying all of your cute dresses soon.

MOM....????

So you know that fever that Cadence had last week. Well...that was the start of the CHICKEN POX!!! I have probably called my mom at least a dozen times. I know now what she had to go through every time one of us got the chicken pox. It is horrible!This is going to be a long week.
