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.

Checking In

Well here are a few events out of my week;

Baking:
Cadence and I had a fun time making cupcakes. They turned out delicious. Cadence really liked the part where she could stick her fingers in the batter and taste it.

Illness:
Cadence was sick for most of the week. It was so sad to just see her so....I guess the word is boring. She always has so much energy, but this week it was complete opposite. All she did was lay on the couch and sleep on her chair/mat. :(

I want:
THIS PLEASE!! I am so sick of having to take pictures with my phone. I need a good camera that will not die in a year.



New Look:
I cut my bangs this week. I needed something new. Still no pics yet, will get some up soon.




I need:
A vacation. Maybe here............

Hair Stuff

So since I am a hairstylist I figured I would post some pictures of some photo shoots I did during school. I have some other ones I've done, but I don't have all the pictures. Anyways here are some pics.

This is my sister-in-law when she was pregnant with my cute niece Ellie.

These girls were so much fun to shoot. They just let us do whatever we wanted.

This again is my sister-in-law. This was my first photo shoot ever. Here is her before picture.

And here are the after shots.

Happy V-Day!

Here is what I saw this morning when I woke up! Jason had to go to work, so he wasn't there to give it to me himself. Cute huh!

This is what Cadence thought of mommy's gift. MINE MINE MINE!

If you can't tell she is sitting on the box of chocolates.

My Crafty Side

I have recently gotten into Digital Scrapbooking. I still do the regular scrapbooking, but I love how with digital scrapbooking it is all right here for you on the computer. I decided that this year I am going to do a project of some sort as my Christmas gift for Jason's side of the family. Still have no idea what I am going to do for my family. :{ I have already started on it...I know it's not even close to Christmas, but I want it to look perfect. I'll keep updating on the progress. YAY I am so excited. Oh and just found out my sister-in-law Littia is pregnant. Our family gets bigger every year!!

Our Trip to Utah

Visit with the McDonald Family

We went over to my sister-in-law's (Littia) house while we were in Utah. There was also Grandma McDonald and cousin Ellie waiting to play. Cadence had so much fun dancing with Ellie. They danced for about an hour straight. SSSOOO CUUUTTEE!! We also went up to Salt Lake City to eat dinner at Red Iguana. Its a cute little mexican restaraunt that had a small mariachi come around to each table and serenade you. The girls loved it. The food wasn't to bad either. It was a long day, but very fun.

A Morning with my Aunt

The day after we got to Utah, Dasha had to take a toddler (Cadence) to her child development class at school. They had fun learning centers where they got to color, make fruit loop necklaces, play blocks, and eat snacks. Cadence loved being around all the other children. Makes me think she might need a little brother and sister soon.....Well maybe not that soon. Cadence had a great day playing with her aunt Dasha.

Fun Day at Chuck-E-Cheese

While we were in Utah, I took Cadence to Chuck-E-Cheese. I figured that would be a good place to take her since we couldn't really be outdoors. She had such a good time. We ended up winning 548 tickets and got lots of great things with it. Dasha and Iriana went with us. It was a fun day.
