My first stitch(es)

>> Tuesday, April 28, 2009

I had this 'thing' on my hand for a few months that just would not go away. I did 'surgery' on it with nail clippers twice and each time not only did it hurt pretty bad but it kept coming back. so I went into the doctor to have it looked at. They ended up cutting a HUGE crater in my hand to cut the whole thing out. I got my first stitches in my life over it too.. :-(

For all y'all who want to see it...here y'all are!

Fighting for the Bride

>> Monday, April 27, 2009

There is a very interesting relationship between most grooms and the "brothers of the bride"...
I told Kim's brothers to take Kim and keep Kevin away. Then I told Kevin to go get her, and began taking pictures at fast as I could.



Joe and Ben






This was the "Stand back if you know what is good for you" picture






Even the bridesmaids got involved and Kevin really had his work cut out for him!







"Anything worth having is worth working for!" Right?





Artistic fun. :-)

This post is for all you "lurkers" to show your faces. While in Wyoming, I met a girl who not only read my blog but the blog's of a few people at church...another lurker who came out of the shadows. It was kinda freaky that she knew so much about me!

So...
Who are you?
Where do you live?
Do you actually *know* me?
How did you find my blog?
Do you like it? :D *fishes for complements...* JUST KIDDING! Scratch that last question :D


I will not be filling this out since y'all know ALL about me!

A weekend on the road

>> Wednesday, April 22, 2009

I had the extreme privilege of going out to Wyoming this past weekend and assisting in photographing Kim and Kevin's wedding. Michael and I left at about 6:30 friday evening and arrived in Cody WY about 8:00 AM saturday morning. We began pictures about 8:30 or 9ish, and after a very fun and busy day that for some of us lasted till 1 AM on Sunday *grins* , we took off at about 9ish Sunday morning. We talked (and texted) to LOTS of good friends on the way home, pulling in at about 12:30 Sunday night. It was a whirlwind trip but well worth it!

I took almost 700 pictures and even got some good ones ;-)! We went home by another route and right past Chimney Rock! All of my life living in Nebraska and I had never seen it, so I was dutifully impressed.

Since it was an Atnip getting married I got to meet the legendary Atnip family! I had heard tons about them, from the boys, and they not only met but exceeded the vast amount of expectations I had for them. :D I am not sure I measured up to their expectations of me since I was told that my brothers made them think I was an angel... :-?
Either way, I promptly added them to my list of favorite people and decided then and there that I was coming back some day to visit when we could stay to go caving, climbing, and fourwheeling. Right Karissa!? Maybe next time though I will be able to find more than dryer sheets for blankets... ;-)

Right now I am wading through masses of pictures that hopefuly a few of will make their way here for y'all to see.

:D

Passover Preparation

>> Friday, April 10, 2009

Getting ready for passover is fun and unique even to our house.



Egg cracking the hard core way!




Hard Boiled Egg peeling the cool way


The table...*picture thanks to Leah


Passover moments we hope are only unique to our house...

-6 sippy cups with un-removable lids

-"umm Leah, when you grated the apples for the chroseth why didn't you take the stickers off first"
"weeeeeeel you seeee...."

_"Matzo pellets" were created and comsumed by polite guests. "Was that two?" VERY polite guests. "Did he just eat THREE?" make that VERY VERY polite guests...

-"Ummm do you suppose Elijah minds hard water marks?"

Saturday Cleaning

>> Tuesday, April 7, 2009

Every Saturday the family cranks up the music, and gets down and dirty in cleaning the house....


Timo was on Kitchen detail this week which much to his dismay contained him forever captured on film washing dishes... ( Seriously he has no idea how good this will look for him down the road. :D)


Oh joy oh joy! I ended up making a deal with Leah (she would put the laundry away and I would sort socks...)



This is Leah being a true Rebelutionary and fixing the movies instead of reading Nathaniel T Riggins...


Did you know that you can dance a "Move it move it" and dry the floor at the same time?



Mean while I am rapidly becoming everyone's best friend...



"Ok so exactly WHO ties the legs of the girlies tights together?"



The "Sock pound" This is what was left of all the socks... if no owners show up the socks will mysteriously disappear and go to the happy matching grounds where no longer will they lay desolate in a cold plastic tub..who knows perhaps their mate is there already, and if not it is sure to follow soon! :D



This is the baaaaaaaby.... can anyone tell?
