Caity, Jared, and Dallin went with me the other day to get gas, and they thought that it was hilarious to stand up in my car, and out of the sun roof!

Yes, don't I look so cute! I've never worked anywhere where I wear the grubbiest clothes that I have, and it's not only ok, but incouraged! It's gross, and dirty, and not really my thing, but boy am I thankful that I have this job!

The Huller

For those of you who wonder what it is I do all day at work, here you go. I walk out to the Huller where they wash and clean Walnuts, and gather the information, and then put it into the computer.



This is just one row of bins full of Walnuts. I have never seen so many walnuts in my life!

Soccer Saturdays

I went to the West kid's soccer games this weekend. It was so much fun to watch them play, and they all had a good time. Jared did get hit in the face, but he shook it off and got back into the game! So proud of you!

Is that Dallin?

I had the amazing pleasure of watching 5 of Val and Jerry's kids over Labor Day, while they went out of town for a much needed overnighter! I love these kids so much. We went to my house for lunch, and had pizza, and while they were there, they found a wig that I wore for Halloween a few years ago. So of course each of them had to try it on. Dallin looked so dang cute that I had to take a picture of him! I love this kid! He's hilarious!

Our Song...

I love when these girls come to stay with me. Talk about entertaining, and they are always wanting to make some kind of video.

Little Toes

I paint Val's toes fairly often. I love to put little designs on toes. We actually decided to paint Bryn's this time. She looks so cute with her little toes painted!

Sweet Moves

Travis visits

Travis and my sister Shannon came over the other day to visit me. It was so fun to see him. He is so sticking cute, and I was so glad that they came over to visit for a few hours. I wish that I could see him more often. He's such a great kid!

Highlighting Val's Hair

One night a few weeks ago, we took a little time out to highlight Val's hair. It was a lot of fun to play hairdresser, but everytime I do this for one of my friends I get a little freaked out because I don't want to mess their hair up. It turned out well, but not as blonde as we would have liked it to be, so the other night we did it again with much better results.

Hey Girls

I also found this picture. It was taken at Halloween a few years ago, right after I moved in with Sarah and Susan. I love these girls.

Scrunchies, and Sweat Pants, and Bad 90's Hair Oh My!

So, I've been meaning to post this picture for a long time. Val and I have been friends for 16 years. It's crazy how quickly time goes by, and how different our lives are now, but no matter what has happened or where our lives have taken us, our friendship has not only remained intact, but has thrived. I am so incredibly blessed to have Val as my friend.

So, if you look closely, you will notice Tiff on the left, and behind Val and me, I think it's Matt Aylworth, and then to the right of me, yes folks, it's Tyler Caveness. Do you think we've changed a little or what?

My Watermelon Plant

I am so jazzed about this plant. I actually planted the seeds, and it grew. Hopefully I will have little watermelons soon!

My very own Flashback Friday!

I found these pictures, and thought, "ah, the good old days!" Just take note of the midnight blue prom dress, and my 80's hair! Enjoy!

My Newest Creations

I've been a busy girl this weekend. I know, pathetic, but I was "working".I didn't do anything but stay home, and make cards. I think that they turned out pretty well. Let me know what you all think! Hope you enjoy them!

My Mad Card Making Skills

So, I've decided to go into the card making business. I figure, what the heck, I have a ton of time on my hands, right? Not really, but my Mom told me that she and her friend are having a booth at the Butte County Fair, and I decided to try my hand at making some cards to see if anyone would be interested in buying them. So far this one is my favorite. Look at the posting below to see the other ones that I've done. I have to admit, they are pretty cute.

Check out my Slide Show!

OK, so these are my newest creations. My mom is going to have a booth at the Butte County Fair this year, so I'm hoping to make these and sell them there. Let me know what you all think!

Dallin and the kids were playing like they were in the snow, and Dallin kept saying, I'm in the snow... I couldn't resist. He seriously is the cutest kid!

I love these pictures of Bryn! She is so cute, and so much fun.

Happy Birthday Zachary

How did it happen so fast? Zachary turned 1 yr old on May 31st. I can't believe how fast he's grown, or how cute he is. Well maybe not the cute part. He is related to me after all!

Happy Graduation Daniel Lloyd!!!!!

It seems like yesterday that you were born and I babysat you! Next year high school. It's crazy that it has gone so quickly.
