Logo contest

These are the logos I entered in a logo contest for this new place that opened called White Horse. I think my favorite is the white one, but I can't decide.

Balloon Girl!

I was sitting in the office working this morning and Kylah came in with a mouth full of balloons trying to blow them all up at the same time. It was so cute I had to capture it! If you look close you can see her one dilated pupil!

New photo montage

These 2 are almost indentical except the first photo. Which one is cuter???

My Favorite!

This is my favorite of Kylah and I love this one of the two of them together. You would never know they weren't cooperating! They were running around like crazy people so I just started clicking away! I love them!!!

Alot of people have asked me for this recipe so here it is!

Check out my letters! I finally figured out how to make letters in any pattern I want!

Kylah lost her 1st tooth!

Kylah lost her 1st tooth right before Easter. Bill had taken the kids to see his family in Grand Forks, and the 1st night they were there she pulled it out. I was sad to miss it but Bill did a great job taking some photos for me so I could document the moment!

So cool!

It's has taken me this long to notice and Chris is the one that pointed it out to me, but my printing company that I use prints Simply Expressive Photography on the back of every print! I was so excited to see this!!!

Birthday Invite!

I thought I'd share Kylah's birthday invite! We went with the gymnastics theme since she's having her party at North Crest. But she doesn't want a gymnastics cake, she wants a popcorn box cake that she saw in a magazine. SILLY GIRL!

whoooohoooo

I can now check the "some college" box!!! I officially started college today!!! I had my first class at the MN School of Business and I love it!

My baby girl

Here is a picture of my baby girl on Friday as we were leaving the opthamologist office. I don't know if all of you know this, but Kylah was born with a severely far sighted eye. +6.50 to be exact. Her other eye is perfect. So when this happens the brain shuts off the use of that eye and the "good" eye kicks in and does all the seeing. They tried to fix this with glasses but its not happening fast enough. Kylah only has til the age of 7 or 8 before the eye is not able to be corrected anymore. If we don't get it corrected and something were to ever happen to her "good" eye the doc said she would never be able to drive a car or see normal out of that eye. So they patched her up as we were leaving. This lasted all of 20 minutes before Kylah started to freak out and peel it off her eye. There is an alternative which we are going to try. It's a drop that I will put in her "good" eye daily which dialates the eye and causes it to be blurry for about 4-6 hours. This is supposed to force the "bad" eye to start working. We'll see how this goes.

Trip to Fargo!

Here are some photos of our trip to Fargo this week! We did a little birthday celebration for Kylah at my grandma's house and went bowling with my Aunt, Uncle, and Cousins! We had a great time!!!

Good Friday

I was reading today's program from "revive our hearts" website when I got up this morning, and being Good Friday and all I thought I would pass along a couple things that I read. Isn't it the most unbelievable thing that Christ died for us?

"If there had not been a Cross, if Christ had not laid down His life and not shed His blood for us at Calvary, we couldn’t pray, “Forgive us our debts,” and expect to have that prayer answered."


"The Lord Jesus, died in your place, and you realize His blood was shed so yours wouldn’t have to be shed. Your sins have been put on Him. His righteousness has been put on you."

Birthday Card

I'm making a birthday card with this photo and i've been playing around in photoshop with different color balance variations. The printing company I work through out of the cities for photography also prints cards so I thought it would be fun to make some! Let me know your opinion on which would look best. Some of you might be getting this card soon!

Standard Black and White


Black and White with the backround all black(harder to see the window effect but looks more professional)


Redish tones


Yellow tones


old fashion look in black and white


Old fashion look with faded color


This one is just for fun because I thought it looked cool!

on the mend

So the last four days have been filled with the flu, strep throat and a sinus infection. It started with the flu, then the strep, and who knows how long i had the sinus infection. I think this was payback for being healthy most of the winter. I'm still blaming it on the fact that I hadn't been taking my vibe for about 1 1/2 weeks prior to this. That'll show me I guess. I still say that by taking vibe that I made it through when the girls had the flu this fall and all the colds they got over the winter. I'm just praying that the kids will stay healthy so they can visit their cousins for Easter. They would be crushed if they didn't get to play with them.

Crazy kids

Here's some photos of the girls on Patty's day! This is one of our fave holidays!!! Oh wait! We love all the holidays!!!

Puddle fun!

Today was sooooooo warm! For MN anyway! We took advantage of the nice warm day and went on a walk and played in the puddles! Taylor thought this was crazy great fun!!! I will probably make a photo montage of all of this, but things are way to busy to even think of that right now.
