Sledding!!!

Last Saturday we all went sledding with our friends, Kristy and Mike, and their kids, David and Kaitlyn. We went a little early in the morning because I had a lot to do that day with my parents coming and Jaden's basketball game. It was awfully cold!!!! My nose and cheeks hurt so bad! The kids didn't seem to mind though! It did start to warm up a little for the last 15 minutes or so we were there - the sun felt so nice! The kids had such a great time sledding. It was a lot of fun to watch them. Jaden is usually so apprehensive about things like that, but since he had David there he jumped right in! Kaylee preferred to slide down on her bum and climbing up the hill. We are definitely going to go back there. We are sure glad that Mike and Kristy showed us this sledding hill! Since it was so cold, our cameras wouldn't work. They kept turning off. However, I did get a few pictures - they aren't the best, but at least I got some!

Bridesmaids!!!!

I have been having so much fun doing these pages of my wedding album. I haven't posted all of the pages here - I've posted a lot of them on my ward's digital scrapbooking groups blog, but I thought I would put this one on here. I'm having a hard time getting all these pages done now that school has started up again, but I'm still trying. It's not like I have a lot of pictures to do - I was disappointed with the way a lot of them turned out! Anyway, this is a page of my bridesmaids - Jillian Beach and Jamie Paul (at the time, it's Reber now!). I thought this turned out good.

Well school is going good. I'm only in the middle of my first week. It is going to be a tough semester though. A lot of readings - and even more papers and projects! I have two history courses - Middle Eastern Civilization and The History of Christianity. Both of them will be very interesting, I think I'll enjoy them. I also have a Special Education course that will be good, however, my professor seems very strict and will be slightly difficult, but I think I'll be okay. I also have an Education course that will be talking about literacy and assessments - this class will have a TON of projects to do, but, once again, I think it will be good. I'm just hoping they will give me enough spare time to be with my family.... and do a little scrapbooking.

I also registered with familysearchindexing.org and hope to be able to do a little bit of work there. I don't know if anyone has tried it yet or not, but it is a good thing to do. All you do is look at old microfilms on the internet and figure out the names and such and type them in. The church is just trying to get the names off of these so people can be found and others can find their names. You don't have to be a member of the church to do this, in fact, there are a lot who aren't. Anyway, I hope to be able to do a few batches of these.

Well, here's the scrapbook page I told you about:

I'm doing a wedding album. Here are a couple of pages I made for it:
