Blah Blah Blah......

It is crazy how busy one's life can get. I am off to the optometrist this morning gotta make sure my eyes are still OK. Then off to a crazy adventure this afternoon learning how to put Bling in hair properly. My friend Ginger is going to be my partner in crime coming with me. I think we are going to check out some really cute little decorating shops too. I love that she has sooo much talent in home decor and that she is willing to help me out to make my house just so for me. Then tonight I am off to soccer with Greg. I always forget how much time it takes to have children be active and sometimes I think I would like to go back to just have little toddlers running a mock around my house. they grow up way to fast and get involved in everything way to young. After soccer tonight I get to relax and watch Glee yes it is one of my favorite t.v. shows right now. Hope your all having a great day. I promise that tommorow I am going to start organizing my computer and getting lots of work done. Then I will show off some of my work, it takes me a long time but it is coming, yes one day it will appear.

My growing crew.

Every Sunday morning my wonderful children help me to color all my props that we use in our sunbeam class. Yesterday they were so cute singing primary songs and coloring away I just had to snap a couple pictures.

 

Here is my beautiful Alina

 

Greg my handsome boy

 

Spencer my goof he always has a tooth pick in his mouth just like his grandpa!!Life just wouldn't be the same without him to brighten the day.

 

Janelle always so photogenic, and getting so big where does the time fly.

OUr new Chapel

So this pass Thursday we got to attend the ground breaking ceremony for our new chapel right here in Copperwood. The building should be done in about a year. Greg was called and asked to represent the primary and be part of this very special day. He was thrilled to be there.

 

Here is the ground just before they came to do the first dig.

 

The line up Greg is beside the contractor, but also in line are the Stake president along with his counsellor's, Stake Relief society leader, Lethbridge counsellor, single adult rep, and young women rep.

 

 

I am grateful that Greg got to be part of this,I think that now hopefully this building will have special meaning to him and he was just so darn handsome up there, very proud mother moment.

A little catch up!!!

 

April 2nd we took the kids to Waterton for a day of remembrance. We celebrated our 11th anniversary, it was fun going to the temple and then going for a family hike together.

 

As with 11 years of marriage stuff just starts to wear out we bought a new couch for the living room and now I can start to decorate the room the way I like. I'm going for warm tones of reds browns and oranges. I also found this cool lamp made out of twigs and just had to add that to the room too. My girlfriend is going to take me out chair shopping so we can find a fun accent for the room aswell.

 

Here we are back at Easter, we spent the day with our friends the Caldwell, had a big hot dog roast and egg hunt for the kids. James had priesthood that night and the kids and I didn't get home until after 10pm It was a day filled with laughter and fun. This was our first Easter away from family, it was weird not to have my house full of the pitter patter of 12 little pairs of feet. But this summer everyone is coming to visit us and I am excited to share that time with my family.

 

Also over Easter my cousin came to visit and I got to spend the day with her and her sweet new baby. My kids love babies aswell so she got passed around alot. It was fun to remember little fingers and toes, sweet baby sounds and calmness that they seem to bring. This has been one of the highlights I must say about living in Alberta I have gotten to see my cousins more. Ryan came and lived with us for a week and I have gotten to see Kim twice in less then a year. We were the only girls on the Gatz side and it fun to reconnect with each other. Plus now I get to see that sweet little girl too.

Two weeks Left

Here I am sitting at school counting down the hours for this to end. I can not tell how happy I will be to finished all this craziness, James will only have to work until 3:30pm everyday and MAYBE only maybe I will once again have a clean house with bread baking in the oven, fresh cookies for my kids to come home to and time to think about something other "did I do all I could do to get the the best grade possible." Everyone in my class finished on Friday but I started two weeks late so here I am. This afternoon Janelle is at school and I have the first afternoon off since my kids Easter break....can you say HAPPY that is all I feel.
I will do a post of my hair bling I just ordered it and I am so excited for it to get here sometime later this week or early next. You put different colored tinsel like stuff in hair, you can curl it straighten it it is super fun.....more to come. Class is out so am I

The Wind has finally changed around here get ready!!!

Ok so it has been a little while since I have posted anything and I am sorry for that. I never thought in a million years that school could do what it has done to me. I am so tired all the time that I just don't have time or maybe choose not to have time to look at the computer anymore then I do for project time. I am proud to say that I am finally on the count down for what has felt like an eternity and will resume normal life in about a month's time.
I will then continue to take abnormal amounts of pictures of my crazy crew,
I will write abnormal amounts of crap of what is going on in my life (not that anyone cares)
I will be all consumed with the life of a blogger posting all the fun tutorials that I do create a couple tutorials for beginner graphic designers and continue to be a mom of the four best kids(in my life) that I can.

I really can't wait to see what I can do, what I can create, and what will lay ahead of me in my future choices.

I feel that for too long I have sat around waiting instead of doing and that is going to change.
Will it effect anyone? Most likely not but if you continue to read my blog maybe you will find something that you like and what to try or maybe you can just laugh at all the mistakes that I will make along the way.

Please feel free to share any great craft, photoshop, indesign, illustrator tips that you have with me and I will try to learn from you as well. Or if no one is even reading this let it be a place that I can look back and remember all that i have set out to do in y life. wish me luck and stay tuned for some fun stuff to start around here.
