Marriage Mayhem

This is the new addition to the Oram family, Jessica (Chad's New Wifey). We all went up after Christmas to get ready for their wedding. I did her bridals and their wedding pictures, and I don't think I have ever been so cold in my entire life. Since then it has been non-stop mayhem trying to get them off my camera and onto a computer and a disk. I still can't get these on a disk to take home with me (we are at my parents), and so I thought I would let out all of my frustrations with a blog vent!! I had to go to Walgreens to finally get them all on a disk, but it took several tries before hand and lots of wasted hours!! Then what did load on my mom's computer, I played with now, but now it still won't go onto a disk and I really don't want to redo all 98 pictures!!! AHHHHH!!! So....now I will probably have to go spend more money to get a jump drive to get them all off. Why is it that the photo sessions I do for free always take me the most amount of work and stress!! I always feel like they won't be good enough for the family/friends I am doing them for so I take way more time on editing, I can't get what I want because its hard to be forceful with family (who is more comfortable disagreeing with family) and there always seems to be a hang up!! Besides all the wasted time on these, I just looked through them and all of Eric's side of the families pictures at the temple their heads are cut off! Stupid me, I should have figured out my remote instead of having someone else push the button-the blasted camera got moved and it totally screwed up the pictures. So...needless to say weddings totally freak me out (and I think this could be my one and only), there's no way to redo them, and now forever I get to be guilty about my bro/sis-in-laws wedding pictures and all the flaws!! I guess I will be done venting now....if only I could get this computer to work.......
More on the holidays later, and the start of basketball, and the actual wedding, and pictures of Adelina my cute niece (sorry Kristina), and finally Clari--I can't believe I am sooo behind!!
Better computer work to all my friends!

Thanksgiving Yumminess

My side of the family came to our house for Thanksgiving and we had a really great time full of lots of Thanksgiving yumminess! In the first picture the little cooked bird, actually was just that-I made a cute little cornish game hen for the kiddies to eat (I don't think they liked me telling them it was a baby turkey though-opps). Not only was Thanksgiving dinner great, we had lots of other yummy meals too! We had a swimming, rock climbing, hockey scrimaging, animal scoping(the boys), golf-ball searching(paige and grandma), photo taking, craft making, Wii playing, movie watching, game playing good time!! Here's some picts of our fun week. (Kristina and Jason we really wish you could have been here with us!!! But congrats on moving into your new house!) And a special thanks to my Mom for the new polka dot chair-Eric really likes to sit in it now, and for my new cute pillows! Hope that the rest of you had a great Thanksgiving weekend!!!

Happy Holidays to all my friends!!

PS-Don't you just love little Mara's thuggin' hood-it was seriously so huge, but so cute!! Oh yea and in the first picture that is raspberry jello with whipped cream-looks kinda nasty but tastes really good!

Screamin Tutu Princess

I just wanted to share this super cute picture from my last photo shoot. Ali was an absolute doll, but did not like my new tutu idea-haha. I feel kinda bad sometimes taking pictures when they're screaming, but she looked so darn cute! Anyways, thanks Kristina for telling me where to get these cute leggings-and helping me pick them out, you rock! If ya'll want to see more check out my business blog. Furthermore, in our neck of the woods: Eric started boys b-ball today, and soon I will be donating some time to help out with the girls b-ball team. We're both ready to start a new sport!! We have also been looking into housing and where/what we are going to do in June. The housing prices here are ridiculous!!! For a 1000 sq ft home with like 2 acres its 250,000 right now, so we are exploring other options. Crazyness!!!

Happy homes for all my friends!

Regionals Game #2

Well...it was a long way to travel and a hard game to watch! Most of the boys played hard the whole game, which I say because after the 1st half we were down by like 50 points and most of them kept on going strong! We never ended up scoring, but the boys played it to then end. It was a rough game, and a horrible field (there was more dirt than grass)! We ended up taking 4th in State which is pretty good since they haven't made it that far in a long time. All in all it was a good season, but a hard game to end it on. Eric loved coaching, but is excited to go into the basketball season now. Thanks goes out to the Nelson family for taking me in and letting me tag along to all of the games this season-its been really fun!!!!

My Vampire Nemesis

So...like the title says my vampire nemesis is.....Alice!! Thanks Dana this was fun to try! I thought for sure I would be a Bella, since several people I talked to said they pictured me as their Bella (guess I am a homely plain jane afterall-haha). Although, I don't think I can convince Eric to do this-maybe I'll just see if I can answer the questions for him. For those of you who have not yet read these great books (Twilight series)-I think you should fall in love with them (and Edward) ASAP, especially since the movie is coming out soon. I am patiently waiting, and I hope that Edwards acting ability convinces me that he's the right one because I don't think he fits the Edward I see described in the book-not very cute for sure!

So NOT Obamafied

I am disappointed with the outcome of this election. I think we can go back to our trusty facts that truly we are more likely to vote for the better speaker and the one who is best looking than the actual candidate who will do the best job. I can say that although I think it is great that we are making headway towards electing women and people of other races into office, I still don't think this was the person we needed to get us out of this funk we are in as a nation-regardless of his race. I hope he does a good job, and does not lead us into further governmental oppression (since one of his idols is among the worst of the worst communistic leaders). All I can say is that I voted and it was not for him-so you might hear more out of me if he does a crummy job. If not I will keep quiet, but know that I have not been Obamafied. He has not cast me under his spell of good looks and better oration. Once you look into his policies-maybe you will see that you too do not want to be Obamafied like some the rest of this nation who is now following a blind leader-whose fairy tales and rainbow fantasies will lead us nowhere but down. Only God knows the fate of this nation, but I do know that the Lord does not back a candidate because of his looks or speaking ability (beware of those who lead away the hearts of the people into wickedness) however he does look at their hearts and what they stand for and I think Obama is a wolf in sheep's clothing-and any man who supports partial birth abortion (and many other policies that propose to take away the freedoms we cherish) is not the man for me or the God that I worship because killing innocent life is never okay! I will get off my soapbox now that I have spoke my peace :0).

First Regionals Playoff Game

WE WON!!! Pinedale played Lovell for our first playoff game and after a rough start we ended up winning. Unfortunately part of that is because we tackled their really good quarterback and he hurt his ankle. I know that sounds bad, but it really was the turning point for us. I felt bad for him and for their backup, you could tell he was feeling the pressure and totally not ready to be the man. They also had this huge guy on their team-number 72 (the only picture on their of only their team). To my knowledge he never got in, but man he was probably one of the biggest people I have ever seen. That's saying something too, because I have some tall friends :0). Anyways, I am super excited for the boys-Pinedale hasn't made it to the playoffs in years, and the fact that they won is even more satisfactory! We will play again next Saturday-either in Pinedale or in a city like 6-7hrs away. My vote is for playing in Pinedale-GOOD LUCK BOYS!!!
