not sure what to blog about, but how about happiness? be happy. smile. love. care. share. laugh. one of my goals actually for the new year was to be happier. how? stop worrying about the little things. if any worry, worry about myself.. my own problems. things that actually deserve my attention. life's to short to worry about little things anyway, isn't it? here's a few pictures that make me smile.. or happy.. for whatever reason.. i hope they can do the same for you. :)

12/6/2010 a walk down memory lane..

2010-12-06T16:18:00.000-08:00

when i was younger.. i never understood why my parents took the time to take pictures. why do we need pictures? we have our memory right?
these days, im still not sure why i take pictures. why take the time to upload, edit, develop pictures? but today i got out the scrap books.. the old albums nobody ever has time to look through. i opened them up.. and i quickly, very quickly, understood why pictures are always taken.

me. ellie. i was about 5. im guessing she was a few weeks old. i never think about that day.. that day when i begged mommy to put ellie in my lap so i could hold her . but when i looked at the pictures.. the memories came flooding back. i remember thinking how tiny her feet were.. how cute her little bathing suit was.. i loved her so much and i never wanted to put her down.
or this picture. alexis.. so full of pride!
or this one.. i loved kindergarten more than anything in the world.
and oh my this one.. little ellie and alexis.. i honestly cant believe they were ever THAT little!

and this day i remember very clearly.. i wanted to go very high on that swing because i was certainly not going to be scared.. so i asked.. and no doubt my brother gave me the biggest push he could! it was a very sunny day.. warm.. blurry in my memory of course. but that's why we have pictures.. they make us remember.. all good memories.

the picture above is my favorite of the day!
& this last one is a failed attempt at getting a picture of all three of us smiling. the flash was on, alexis on my hip , well i dont know what she was doing. ellie had the cheesiest smile ever.. :b

divorce.

2010-11-17T16:12:00.000-08:00

Well hello. This is a little awkward! I can't believe it's been a few weeks since i blogged! It's not the much time i guess, but a loooott has happened. Not just since my last post, but since a few months ago. When I first asked for prayers.. or even before that. It has been such a difficult pathway.. with so many tears.. i honestly can't believe it's all over. i often just stop and take a second to think how better everything is! I think it's like this for everyone family that goes through what we went though. it's different for all families. some horrible. some not. ours was.. not the best. a divorce. it's difficult to talk about.. to find the right words.. but nobody will force me to talk about it. everything was just very hard. we are a family of my parents, my brother, myself, and my two younger sisters. the toughest decision? our parents were diving us. some people would judge them and say that thats a terrible thing to do... which at the time it was a horrible horrible thing to do. but now , though still very hard, my sisters are not with us ( here come the tears!) its crazy to think that i cant see them everyday. there's regrets .. not to long ago i blogged that i was fading apart from Ellie. i regret that SO much! but like i said a million times already, it was hard. i cryed so often... im sure ellie did too. this was all weird for us. it makes sense now actually though, that they divided them two from me. i still see them. just not nearly as much. once a week maybe? twice? not enough. but i soak up there cute little faces and giggles and take pictures whenever we're together. there's not certain time of when we can see each other which i love.. im hoping to see them friday. the last time we were together was... last thursday.. :/
now that its all over.. we can all breath. thank you to everyone and anyone on here, in person, family, friends that prayed for us. it meant SO much. new chapter of life.. we're ready!
when it comes to this blog... i will probably just blog when im with them. who knows.. tomorrow could bring anything it wants to.. i learned that the tough way!
these pictures are from 11/11/2010 (last thursday). . . .

So. Busy!

10/27/2010 it's cold & windy!!!!!!!

2010-10-27T17:55:00.000-07:00

YUP... it's soooooo cold and very windy! I HATE IT! I didn't even know how windy it was until after school. I stepped outside of the building, and I was almost knocked of my feet! The wind howled and my hair was everywhere while I searched for my ride... NO ride of course! My luck right?! So I yanked out my cell-phone and with frozen fingers I managed to hit the '6' and click send.. i waited inside until my ride came!
i realllyyy hate the cold weather! or is it just the wind? i could go on forever about how much this sucks.. but the thing i really hate is that tomorrow is moving day & the weather is going to be the same as today! speaking of moving, it just exhausts me thinking about it... packing, unpacking, cleaning.. folding.. stacking.. ugh! but we'll make it through this! im very excited because i know once we move, get settled down, things will hopefully be much better! praying!

( look how cute & comfy someone looks! )

( pretty much sums up how i feel about the weather.... )

- nicki xo
p.s... right now, it's 39 degrees outside! :(

10/26/2010 a little bit of what i love♥

2010-10-26T17:45:00.000-07:00

(in no certain order)... i love..

( alexis! so much! shes a giggly little girl whos always screaming, yelling, laughing, or crying! i love her more than words can explain and we're so blessed to have her!)

( the shaytards! if you've never heard of them.. i would recommend you watch there daily vlogs! I really love them. they're an amazing family! This is a picture of there 3 of 4 kids! They are become even more famous You-tuber's by the day, so catch on to reality as fast as you can! http://www.youtube.com/user/shaytards)

( the Gosselins! regardless of their parents, i love these kiddos! theyre so adorable and funny! i love watching them on t.v... even though i have a strong opinion that they should be taken off the show.. more on that later. maybe? :p )

( blogging! oh my goodness! I don't do it very often anymore.. but i love every part of blogging!)

( ellie! crazy girl.. so much fun! we seem to be growing apart and i hate that! i love her to death!)

( facebook. this isnt even a love. its an obsession! (: )

( this angel! shes so talkative now.. and shes getting smarter and naughtier by the hour!)

( ava rosemeyer! this little girl has completely changed my view on the world! may she rest in peace.. i love you ava!)

( sheye rosemeyer photography! SERIOUSLY LOVE!)

( and lastly, youtube. it provides hours of entertainment and music.. and yes that is alexis!)

2010-10-22T21:49:00.000-07:00

i'll be back when im back up on my feet.
i wrote that on my last blog post. only 6 days ago, but so much has changed since then! I'm not back up on my feet yet, but i miss this place! Some things are better... while others? well others are so much worse. I'm going to start opening up a little more.. so here it goes.
Well next weekend, Alexis has surgery.. we're praying for the best on that one! we're sure everything will go smoothly.
I not to long ago lost two friends. Ones that only a week ago I couldn't have imagined not being in my life... but now, i realize that really the only people you need in your life is the ones that need you need in theres. loosing two friends that go to the same school as you brings the drama & attention level up big time! It's not easy to go to school with curious people wanting to know exactly what's going on, and questions constantly being asked.. but i try my best to answer them in the best and most honest way i can!
In all this craziness.. i forgot to thank God for the amazing 14 years of life he has blessed me with! On October 18 I turned 14 and I can't believe how much I have been through! I am so thankful for everything though! for being able to be a big sister twice, for all the opportunities.. for e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g!
Another big thing has happened, & others are happening, but i cant get the guts to say it! I don't personally know anybody on this blog, but it still makes me nervous. how do i write it? will it come out wrong? i dont want anyone to get the wrong idea...
on a much lighter note today i babysat this little 'angel' while here mum shopped.. oh my goodness. what a handful! this girl was NONSTOP from the time we got to the store! she never stopped moving and i cant believe i managed to get a picture of her actually looking!

( she loved looking at the carousel whenever it started, but she did not want to get on it!)

( she loved this elevator! she squealed every time we got on it!)

( people at the mall were staring.. i think they were getting the idea that she was my baby!)

( this was probably as dangerous as it looks... she sat for about 5 minutes then was up like a wild woman and we took her out!)

- nicki xo
p.s. i forgot to mention.. we're moving! AGAIN! hold on with me!

10/16/2010 break.

2010-10-16T22:07:00.000-07:00

sometimes we all just need a little break.. right?

we certainly do.

i apologize to my dear followers & blog, but we are all just taking a break from everything right now. Sure, i could continue to blog, but certainly nobody wants to hear how terrible things are, or the look on Ellie's face when she finds things out, or even how i cry sometimes twice a day, when things are just too much. but ill spare you all those facts. i'll be back when im back up on my feet.
- until then.

Thursday, ‎June ‎10, ‎2010, ‏‎9:04:06 AM )

Well hello there! (: i hope everyone had a great weekend! I'll try catching you up on my weekend..
On Friday, I went to a hockey game with a few good friends! It was lots of fun & they won! ;) When the hockey game was over, we decided we needed to go to a haunted house! I'm not a big fan of getting the ( excuse my profanity ) crap scared of me.. haha... but i still was up for it! When we got here it was 11:03 & they close at 11:00 and they wouldn't let us go! We were really upset but we left... next Friday we're going.. can't wait! :)
Sunday morning ( this morning) I came home from my friends... cleaned, showered, edited! Just had a lazy evening & it was great! I didn't take any pictures all weekend so I will just share some old pictures that I don't think I've shared before.

( i love those little toes.. and fingers.. and big beautiful eyes!

2010-10-08T21:03:00.000-07:00

Late blog ... :) I'm trying to stay up late so I can actually sleep in tomorrow morning rather than getting up at 8 while everyone else is sleeping!

I slept horribly last night. I was in the kinda sleepy but half awake mode until about 1:30 in the morning! I had the worst stomach ache and I wasn't really sure if I had to throw up or what was wrong but I asked mum for some medicine and I drifted off to sleep some time around 2:00! I was exhausted at 6:15 in the morning! TGIF!! Today was your typical day.. school.. home.. relax. My brother is here for a few days which is nice ( he loves on the college campus.)
I feel very inspired to take pictures right now but everyone that is sane is sleeping. (: & anyway, my camera is BROKEN! I didn't write about it, but on Monday my camera fell onto the hard wood floors & ( with my camera being on ) the lens smashed into my camera! My dad was able to fix it but it's still not looking right. Thankfully i'm still able to take pictures! :D
Dad took this one .. Ellie was very eager to take the darn picture & ride her motorcycle!

( now of course there was a picture of me smiling too but .. i'd rather not share that! )

Well at this point i'm about to collapse onto my keyboard so i'll talk to you all tomorrow night hopefully! :)

10/4/2010 fall ♥

2010-10-04T18:31:00.000-07:00

Fall is here! I'm so happy! We really do love Fall.
during fall i love..
* the leaves. i love the crunch and the way my sisters can run threw them or jump into them with such joy!
* the sweats, jackets, slippers, etc.. i lovee to be comfortable so much! we're getting out our winter clothing this weekend but we're all in need of new clothes!
* the baking.. cookies.. cake... muffins. anything to stay warm right?
* the photography... the possibilities are endless! there's so much to take pictures of! we are having our fall photoshoot ( me and my sisters ellie & alexis ) sometime soon hopefully! i cant wait.. the colors are all so pretty!

i dont like ...
* how cold it can get somedays!
* ladybugs.. eww.. i think they're so gross! and they stink

soo as you can see there is plenty to love about FALL!

today was a good day. we stayed at home & played outside & ate muffins ( ) & watched tv and hung out inside some too nothing much to write about the day today... we'll see what tomorrow brings!
pictures today aren't much..
this is sister Alexis doing what she does when she's not whining & screaming & she was squirming so much the picture turned out blurry.. but i still think its ok!

& this picture to me is very funny.. us three on the couch.. watching t.v... eating our muffins. Ellie decided she would blow a kiss to the camera.. Alexis was watching some silly cartoon on T.V. and didn't mind the camera at all.. & i leaned over to see what face Ellie was making.. hehee ;) ( please excuse our lovely hair! this usually what it usually looks like by the end of the day :) )

- nicki xo
p.s. the days are better.. but i never know what tomorrow will bring so prayers are still needed ♥

2010-09-27T05:08:00.001-07:00

I'm so excited! This is my hundredth post! I would have blogged last night, but I was really tired so I just waited until this morning!
I took all of these yesterday.
You can see in this picture just how much fun this motorcycle is! (:

If you're wondering why baby born's mouth has white stuff on it, it would be because Ellie and Alexis feed him things they probably shouldn't!

- nicki xo
p.s. I would like to thank everyone who has given me support throughout this tough time! It means so much! xxoo

9/21/2010 prayers please

2010-09-21T17:27:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged in awhile. Life is busy! I probably wouldn't be blogging right now if it wasn't for my followers. I feel like if I follow someones blog, they should blog once in awhile! I haven't taken very many pictures, but I have had my picture taken. I have done so much since I last post. I have also done a lot of thinking. I don't like to talk about my very personal life on the internet, but what other reasons do I have? Life has gotten harder and there's no need to act like everything's okay & that my world is perfect, when it's not. But the thing is, I hate to complain. So many more people are in such worse positions than I am. But some days- I crack under pressure. Tears flow and hearts are heavy in my world now. I try to think how blessed I really am, but some days it's hard to see. It's hard to even right about it. I feel the need to break down. Just to get everything out..
I pray and ask for the strength to be strong. For myself, my family... for my friends even. I want everything to be 'okay' and I do an amazing job at acting like everything is okay. I can smile when all I want to do is fall into someone's arms and cry. For someone to tell me that everything is going to be fine. I'm so thankful for the people I have!
I don't think I will share exactly whats going on around here.. but I feel so selfish to ask for prayers. Very selfish. My world has been altered yes, but there is so many worse things going on that need prayers. But I will. I feel I need them.
Please pray for my family and myself... for strength to make it through everyday with a smile on my face that isn't always fake. For some light.. I feel things will only get worse, before they get better. I like to brush that thought away. But I it's true. Please pray..
- Nicki xo
p.s. Here's pictures of how the days are. Black & White and blurry. But love is there.

wow. what a post. tears are flowing.. prayers are need xo

8/22/2010 Ava's tea-party 2010

2010-08-22T17:42:00.000-07:00

Today.. we made cupcakes and had lemonade and laughed and smiled and took pictures all for one little princess named Ava Rosemeyer. Ava flew to heaven on February 05, 2007 at the age of 3. She was so beauty-full in every way. Her amazing mummy asks everyone in every corner of the world to do anything they can to remember Ava on her birthday. So.. we have a tea-party. :)
Happy birthday Ava!

I was so happy to be able to capture so many pictures of Alexis.

For you Ava xo. ( pink of course )

These pictures are so simple yet they seem to mean so much. My sisters dance and sing and enjoy life as children.. always expecting a tomorrow.

It's rare to see pictures of Alexis and I. :)

She asked about 6,00 times to get a picture of her shoes and BE SURE to show Sheye.. ok Ellie.. here they are.

Thank you Sheye, SO much for giving us a chance to smile and be thankful.. and to capture amazing moments. :) xx

p.s. this video was made by Sheye herself for her little girl.. amazing job Sheye.

I'm done! I can't take this anymore:

it burns :o
I'm used to having all my photos organized, named, and edited into the correct folders.. but what has happened here? A tragedy! Nothing is in it's place... what do I do? It's going to take forever to edit all of these pictures and get them into organized folders! It's driving me crazy..
I just want to organize and edit all of these and them hopefully get them onto a DVD..
- nicki xo

p.s. I have 27 folders.. I'm used to having about 5 or less!

2010-07-08T22:30:00.000-07:00

I really need to start blogging earlier, because by the time I get to this, it's the next day!
Today I hung out at the pool for a little bit, then headed home and hung out here. No pictures today but I will share these I took when my cousins were here...

ok, its bad but its funny, look at the finger action in this one:
remember this pumkin.. Ariana? Yes, look how big she is! xo

7-7-2010 Wednesday

2010-07-07T19:22:00.000-07:00

The weather was not good today, so we hung out inside most of the day.
Mom, Ellie, and Alexis are going to Europe soon. :D I'm staying back with dad because I don't want to go. I think that sounds like I am beyond spoiled or something, but actually, we go every year so not everyone has to go.
Mom bought a new camera yesterday.. the pictures today are all with the new camera.

all compliments of Ellie. :) This new camera is easier for her to use.

compliments of me.. i wish you could hear the joy of these laughs

....more tommorow.

p.s. i dont like the light of the indoor pictures at all!

7/1/2010 Thursday.

2010-07-01T20:47:00.000-07:00

I know I said I would try to blog everyday, and I didn't.. but I have an excuse! I REAL ONE! The internet was down on all 4 laptops in our house! But the good, nice guy came and fixed it. :)
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Yesterday we went to the pool for a little bit after dinner, but it was only for a short time , so we went again today, but today we went all day! I got some pictures last night while mom and dad were both working right after the pool.. so bath and dinner were my responsibilites !! But it was easy.. they got a bubble bath, dressed, then Ellie turned on a movie while I showered. Then we had pizza and just watched a movie.
My cousin has arrived from Minnesota, so I will have some pictures tommorow!

BUBBLESSSSSSSSS! YAYYY. :D
I let them jump on the bed--- for pictures. Dangerous? :D
I thought it was all down hill from here....
....... And then they give me this...
They were holding hands in the picture above. :)
and the last picture would be of my hand on the bottom, then Ellie's then Alexis's . :)

- nicki xo

p.s. since i can only upload pictures on my laptop, im not sure i can have them up tommorow.. but i will try!

6/27/2010 Saturday.

2010-06-26T22:17:00.000-07:00

Today we hung around the house complaing around the house because we were just so bored... then I asked if we could go see a movie, and yes we could.
So us three were dropped off at the theater and we saw Toy Story 3 in 3D( mom had lots of cleaning to do at home, as well as dad)! It was really cute, and they weren't even creeped out! Except there was a weird doll in the movie that Alexis was a wee creeped out by...
Since we arrived late, I said no food and we just went in and sat down. After awhile, Ellie complained so I got up much to my annoyance and got her popcorn. I don't like getting up and leaving Alexis alone..
After the movie we played some games in the arcade and waited for mom, then stopped at mcdonalds for some icecream... when we got home I went to a friend's house and everyone else just hung out at home... then, mom and i went to the gym for a bit while E&A stayed with the neighbors! I'm tiredddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd. Shower, and bed..
goodnight:)

6/25/2010 Friday.

2010-06-25T21:47:00.000-07:00

YES! Friday...
Okay, so today we didn't do much today. It was SOOO hot but we didn't go swimming. After some lunch, we ran some errands, picked up Ellie and Alexis from Girl Scouts (yes, they attend now), and headed home. Around 4 I was dropped off at the pool with an annoying kiddo- I mean the best 8 year old sister ever, and I sat while she did swimming lessons. Ellie stayed home with mama to help with the garage sale.
A storm is rolling through now, and the girls are sleeping.. or they should be. The house is nice and calm- minus the lightning and thunder.
--------- good night <3

6/24/2010 Thursday. Back to blogging.

2010-06-24T19:31:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged about my daily life in FOREVER! Or that's what it feels like. SO new goal! 'blog everyday, even if it was one of those - stay at home rainy days-'
Today, I took Ellie and Alexis to the pool. Being alone, and 13, I had to keep a close eye on them, which was hard, but we had fun! We did have a moment where Alexis took a fall in the deep end, but was saved by a friend of Ellie's ( a complete stranger to me.) After fun, they had swimming lessons... by that time i was realllyyyy tired and soooo ready to get out of the VERY hot sun and go home. I said to Ellie while she was in the water, and me sitting in the sun " if u find a puddle here, it's me." I moved to the shade, where all the bugs like to chill. :( After some swimming stuff, they went to the diving boards.. It was cooler by this point so I stood and watched. They both went off! For being 8 and 6.. I think they are doing great. So we went home after a long day.. and fun day too!
Not sure what's going on tommorow.
--- besides swimming lessons of course.. :( and if your wondering why I do this rather than mom, it would be because I like to help in someway, and this is perfect.)

( sorry for no pictures.. the pool was crowded, and it was hot. maybe later...)

6/14/2010 Tuesday. Movie night.

2010-06-14T19:37:00.000-07:00

Today we did movie night.
We had popcorn, m&m's, and pop.. Unlimited popcorn actually! I made two bags and the m&m's were being eatin' like they would never be anymore! We watched Ratatouille which is just so cute. It was very fun and we had little mess to clean up! I want to do it sometime again..
I can't upload pictures because I am on the other laptop, and mine isn't connected to internet, and I can only uplaod pictures to that one.. so I hopefully will get those up sometime soon!

6/3/2010 Thursday.

2010-06-03T19:16:00.000-07:00

I haven't blogged in seven days, but I feel like I haven't blogged in 7 months. I just don't find the need to blog yet. There is only 2 days of school left, and there will be much more to blog.. I hope not so much that I actually forget about blogging.
I haven't even taken very many pictures! I took some the other day... but again, just didn't feel like hitting ' new post'. But once I start blogging, it's fun! I can't stop and I could talk forever and blah blah... then it just gets boring.... SOOOOO
Since last Thursday, I have had my cousins over, gone to Iowa City, tanned, prayed for school to be over and done with, and tanned some more! It hasn't been nice enough to go swimming yet! I'm planning on going to a friend's house tomorrow, and then to a baseball game.. and if we don't we will just hang out.. we always have plenty to talk about!
I hope everyone is having a good week...(:
Here are some pictures taken without any inspiration.
Look who started swimming lessons! I can tell she has fun, but the water is so cold! She had to get out early.. and her lips were purple.

And this one was taken on Monday... BOR-ING.

p.s. My little swim baby has learned to say 'no'... not what?

5/27/2010 Thursday. Break time.

2010-05-27T16:31:00.000-07:00

I've decided that I need a nice break from the computer. Not a long break, I just won't be getting on everyday! I feel I need more time to spend with friends and family, and having fun! I will be back every Sunday, or Monday to update, and post pictures that I have taken throughout the time I was not blogging, that way, I'll have all my memories saved, but I won't have to blog as often!

5-20-2010 Thursday. (10 things)

2010-05-20T17:51:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I finally had my photoshoot with miss E! I am love with the pictures... She did amazing! I think I'm going to include the top ten things that I love the most about this princess.

10.) The way you giggle. Your laugh makes me happy... you find so much funny. So I'm often happy.

9.) Your (lovely) attitude. Yes, that's right! In a strange way, I love that you are so mature. That you don't let anybody, anywhere say something rude to you. I love that you can stand up for yourself, and snap back.... (:

8.) Your hair. It's soft and silky, and shiny. You let me style it all of the time, and you don't even get upset, like miss A would.
7.) Your energy! You always want to be on the move. I often here " What do you want to do ? " Or " Where are we going?" You exhaust me sometimes, but we have fun!

6.) How smart you are. I mean really, an eight year old should really not know 'where babies come from.' or be able to zip through her homework. You shouldn't be able to come up with a plan to drive somebody crazy. But you can, you clever little lady.
5.) I love how you love the camera. You bellow when you see it, or complain. I've never heard you complain. Your ready to give me that geourgous smile that might be to good for Mr. Canon.

4.) Your beautiful. In every way shape and form that there may be out there.

3.) Your hugs. They are warm and soft, and make me feel better. Thanks princess.

2.) The way you would murder for your family. You love them, unconditionally.

1.) Everything. Everything and anything. I can't fit it all into ten facts. No way. I love that you giggle, your attitude, your hair.. and so much more. But I just love that you are here with me. That I can be with you. So for that, I thank you a million times over and over. *kiss* xoxo

2010-05-17T14:06:00.000-07:00

I think I'm going to start adding the day of the week dates to my titles!
On friday, I stayed the night at Tana's house. We had a meenie bon-fire and took a few pictures in the dark. On sunday, when I got home from Tana's, I visited a friend named Shawna.. We used to be neighbors when I lived at my old house. We ate at the mall, walked around a little, then we took a walk around the most beautiful lake. I honestly want to take my camera there and take pictures. It would be beautiful for a picnik! We got some nice pictures. My camera is still out. I think I'll have to buy a new battery charger, and certainly before the last day of school, which is only about 2 weeks away! I'm so excited. I can't wait for those bonfires, late nights, and swimming! I can't WAIT to go swimming!

It seems that everyone is taking and posting pictures of themselves without make-up, and honestly, I have a little to much makeup on in this picture!

I worked almost all day today on my science project! I did go over to my neighbor's,- who is an older lady- and vacummed for her! She is so sweet..
I get a ride to school tommorow, because of my big board for science, and then after school I'm going home with Tana and I'm sleeping over! Can't wait!
Ok.. no pictures today. I tried getting a picture of my board, but my camera is SOOOO out of battery. :(
I think I'll try getting some from Tana's camera!
Bye!

5-12-2010 Rain and Colds.

2010-05-12T19:05:00.000-07:00

I am suffering from a HORRIBLE COLD! My nose is stuffed, and I can't smell or taste anything! I was chewing on gum today.. and it was like I was just chewing on a flavorless gummy object! Gross! I stayed home Tuesday, because I woke up: nose stuffed, head throbbing, throat burning!

The weather is not helping. This whole week (and weekend) has been rain and gray skies. I don't even want to take pictures outdoors, at all! But, I could only manage a few pictures yesterday, until my sweet Canon said "Change the battery pack!" I CAN'T FIND MY CHARGER ANYWHERE!

Also, I am very excited for the science fair! I think my project will turn out wonderfully, and I'll try my best to get a picture of my board!

Here's a few pictures I took yesterday. They aren't very good, but my blog is looking very boring!

She's so beauty full! I love her eyes_____ and the tattoo!

This is a mirror reflextion... ^

p.s. When I nicer week with better weather comes along, I am planning to get picture of us three ladies on seperate days__ outdoors!

5-4-2010 Help?

2010-05-04T17:59:00.000-07:00

Today was a really nice day outside.
We ladies spent most of the day outside. When we were sitting- eating a snack, I noticed A was pulling her shirt down, when I looked at her face, she had a blank look on her face. I said " What's wrong?" Then.. I walked over to her, to find out she had wet her pants. I felt bad for her and it was so strange. She is 6 years old, and obviously potty trained. She did this another time, about a week ago. I'm a bit concerned? I mean is she just to busy playing to get up, and well... go? Or is it something more serious? Anybody?
So I sent her in, I changed her pants and her chocolate- covered shirt.
But other than that, the day went well! A said something that made me laugh.. but I can't for the life of me remember what she said!
Well, I didn't take any pictures today.... but I guess I could post a picture of miss A, and her bike. I love her!

On friday, I stayed the night at a friend's house, then I came home on Saturday we headed of to Minnesota because my aunt just had surgery! We helped her out, went shopping, and came back on Sunday! I had no time to post anything so here you go!

Life isn't about the breaths we take, it's about the moments that take our breath away. (:

I hope you like these.

Look at how tiny!
This weekend was good.
On Saturday we had guest all day.
But Today I got some great pictures in the morning! Later, I ran errands with mum.

Today, right after school, I ran errands with my dad, which we were gone all day. I came home and made some choclate chip cookies. I don't feel very good right now.. so I'm going to bed earlier tonight.

After school, I went to a friends and we made lipgloss for school. It was really fun, and they turned out great!
When I got home, I played outside and just relaxed a little bit.
Happy Birthday to my awesome older brother! Love you!
I took pictures today, but I'm so tired of editing, so I'm taking a break. Here's an old-ish one of my friend and I waiting in line to see 'Dear John'.

Wow, bad shot of me :|.
C'yaa!
