Alaska!!

In July I was able to go to Alaska with the Brugeners! It was so much fun and we did an insane amount of stuff, I tried to include a little of everything, and it isn't all necessarily in order but you'll get the idea!
The Anchorage Temple!This is in Chugach State Park, in Anchorage

This was our Rental car in Juneau, yeah we barely fit!

This is an awesome gate made out of snow skis!

We went on this really pretty hike and found this fun swing in the middle of the forest!

At Sandy Beach in Juneau, a nice Sunday activity!

One day, this will be my house, hehe

the float plane we went on. It was amazing. We saw a ton of glaciers and went all over!

Kayaking! It was so much fun, but Aunt Ann and I got soaked!

aren't we pretty?

We stayed at this great cabin!

clam digging, it was actually really fun!

We went deep sea fishing! I caught the big one!

We all kissed the fish, yuck!

We went on a cruise of the fjiords in Seward and we saw a ton of whales, sealions and a ton of other cool sea life. This pictures shows a 7 killer whales at ONE time! It was so cool!

We had so much fun and saw a ton of great stuff! We went on a bunch of hikes, saw a ton of glaciers, kayaked, fished, and a lot more. We were all really tired by the time we went home, but we all wished we could have stayed! I hope I can go back one day!

Christmas Break....

This was a crazy Christmas break... On the 14th I had back surgery in Logan so I was pretty much out of it most of Christmas break! The time went by way too fast and I am now back in school! Yikes! This is going to be a CRAZY semester, all I have is paper after paper!
All of my ADORABLE nieces and nephews! They are the best!!!
Christmas morning! Yay for a new car stereo!
Christmas Eve!
Hello baby Siggy, I miss you so much!!!
So I was putting my makeup one day and the girls wanted some, then Liza wiped her eyes.... ooops, she still looks cute though!!
Me and baby Siggy! This was probably the first day that I actually got dressed!!
And then, I dyed my hair! Lindsey and Emily freaked out, it was so funny! I was lying on their front lawn talking to my mom and Andrea and they were screaming and calling me crazy before they even got out of the carpool! Lindsey told me that I can dye my hair one more time and then I have to leave it like that for the rest of my life. She said that she starts getting used to me with one color and then I change it and she has to get used to it all over again! She is so funny!! So there we have it.... dark hair or blonde hair?? Let me know!!

This is what happens....

This is what happens when I accidentally leave my camera in a place where two year old Evie and 3 year old Eliza can find it..... Thanks Aunt Sara for saving it for me!! I sure do love my girls!!

Babies Sydney, Gracie, and Randy

It was fun for all of us to be together when baby Sydney was born! We took a walk around the Temple!
Hello Gracie!
The first time I saw Sydney!
I love this picture of Randy. He is so dang cute!

All three babies born this year! Gracie (April), Randy (June), and Sydney (October)

Salon Woes....

So the salon I have been working at got sold. The new owners already own another salon here in Logan so they thought, hey we will close down the Salon Essentials location (mine) and move everyone over to ours (Hair Studio 170). They thought, we will have enough room for everyone (some 20 plus stylists) to be able to have them still work their original days. So I thought, okay this will be a pain, but they are trying to make everything all fine and dandy for everyone. So last night I got all my stuff that I had packed up, put it in my car and drove over to the new salon to move it all in. So I get there and they are like, oh, so when are you working again? I was thinking are you kidding me? I have told you tonz of times, I work Saturdays and I want to start on commission here for a while, heck I even filled out their stupid little paper that told them what days I want to work and whether or not I wanted to do booth rent or commission. So, I told them AGAIN.
On Saturday they had moved over our cabinets that we used to store all of color and products like that, so that we would have a place for them when we moved. So I asked where they were and he was like, "oh, yeah, we should get one for you (mind you there were like 5 empty ones), so he goes in the room where they are and looks around and then says well, lets see, I think you can use this one...". It is the most inconvenient one, it is behind the door... Why???? But I was like whatever, I'll take it. So then I asked which station would be mine and he paused and hesitated and proceeded to tell me... "well, see we are really busy on Saturdays and all of our stations are full, so we are just going to have you station hop".... I'm thinking WHAT????? Then he said "we might be able to scrounge up a couple of drawers for you in one of the stations that you can put some stuff in..." So, what, every time I need something I have to run across the salon and get it out of the drawer they had to "find" for me? What happens if I have an appointment and all the stations are full, do I just take my client out to the parking lot and say sorry, they don't have room for us so lets cut your hair out here, NO, that is ridiculous! So I had to completely reorganize my rollabout so that I can fit all of my styling products and everything I need, I had to shove other things that I should have on the station into my color cabinet because, I don't have a station. So needless to say, I am really angry and I will probably be looking for another job in the near future, which is too bad because I really liked all the girls I worked with at Salon Essentials, and everyone is moving over to Hair Studio 170. So that is my vent session... Hope your day is going good!
