Easter in Vegas

I've avoided any updates because it is so annoying to type anything without the use of my enter key (and my arrow keys are broken too...did i mention that??) so this won't be a cutesie post. Jack and I spent Easter in Las Vegas with Harrison's family before I left Jack with M&D Smith to meet Harrison in New York. We had an Easter egg hunt, then spent the next couple days having fun shopping, saw a show on the strip, and watching movies together. It was so much fun!!

Extra! Extra!

Did you see this??

Harrison was in the Deseret News last week. He met General Petraeus when he spoke at BYU on Thursday. Pretty cool, eh?

Leavin on a Jet Plane

Oregon here we come!! And when I come back: I will be one year older. I will have been able to see my sister go through the temple. I will have seen my family. I will own New Moon. And Provo, please take care of my husband in my absence. See you in a week!! FYI: This is one continuous sentence because our enter button has decided to stop working...

One Year Pictures

Dear Jack, Please stop growing up...

Just call me Martha

The home improvements I make are very few and far between, but here is what I have been working on lately to spruce up the place:

#1: Kitchen Table Chairs: We had exhausted these chairs until the fabric on them was not-so-pretty, and unlike a normal person who would just buy some oxy-clean and go to town on them, I decided to just get new fabric and re-cover them. BEFORE: (I'm a little embarrassed to show you how gross they were)

AFTER:

(and yes, i realize the fabrics are almost identical, but they look waaaaay better now)

#2: Help from the Cricut: Harrison's mom made the cutest part of this, the "love" sign (which i LOVE...haha i think i'm funny...) and with the help of my Cricut I did the vinyl lettering underneath it. It has been a nice addition to our bedroom.

#3: Thank you HGTV for this one: Again, i did not do the cutest part of this project, my little sister did for Jack for Christmas. But i had left over fabric from Jack's bedding I made before he was born...

So I made this to put in his room...

Beat It

Vote for Me!!

Last year I took a few weekly classes from a local photographer, Brooke Snow and she was so so so awesome. I learned so much, and it really fueled my love for photography. Shortly after that, she moved to Logan, UT and that made it impossible for me to take her weekly advanced classes. But she's now offering a free 2 day private session to one lucky person, and guess who that one lucky person wants to be?? ME!! Unfortunately, I'm one of 100 people who want this as well...so that's where you come in!! She has listed those people on her blog, and has left it up to our friends (that's you!) to vote for us!!

So please, please, PLEASE Vote for Christine Smith here It takes 2 seconds!! And we're allowed one vote per computer, so maximize those laptops, PCs, and (any random computer to happen to walk by! haha...but seriously) Voting ends Sunday night Feb 28th!

If I won it would provide an amazing opportunity with a photography mentor I already know and love!!

Thank youuuu :)
