Carrie does it again!!

Carrie Underwood won entertainer of the Year again last night at the ACM's last night! She is always so elegant and classy! I love the way that she takes the time to thank God and all those that helped her get to where she is today!

She wouldn't be Carrie Underwood unless she did a few wardrobe changes! Take a look at the beautiful dresses she chose! The white one above is probably my favorite! It's simple but stunning and she looks gorgeous!

I love this dress she wore during "Temporary Home." The colors are amazing!

This mini dress is beautiful but oh-so-short! I would be terrified to wear it but Carrie pulled it off!


This dress kinda makes me want to run out and buy a one shoulder dress, but where oh where could I wear it?

Red Hair

I did it! I dyed my hair red! I decided that I needed a change and so far I like it. Everytime I look in the mirror I'm a little in shock but I think it's just because it's so different! Hopefully I will grow to love it because I can't go back to what I had before which was blonde highlights!

Productive Day!

First things first! Jaxson is home and healthy! I can't wait to meet him!

Secondly, today the hubby and I acted like grown-ups and did a little work on our finances! We filed his taxes...whoo hoo! We also pulled both our credit scores and they were not as bad as we thought. We do have a few things against us but it's definately not so bad.

Sometime in the next month I will be recieving a nice little check from a trust fund set up by my grandparents. When that check comes we are going to spend it rather responsibly! The majority will be spent on getting things off our credit, catching up bills, and put into a money market account. Yay! We are growing up!!

We are going to spend a little on a new sofa and tv stand as well as my new camera, hopefully a Canon Rebel! And I think we are getting one of those little net book computers! But I am so proud of us for spending most of it on clearing up our credit because last time I got a check we did not!

And it's almost me birthday! On Tuesday I will be 27!

Now I'm going to relax with my hubby on the very cold and very rainy day!

Please Pray

My best friend, Kandi, gave birth to a little boy, Jaxon Charles, on Friday, January 15, 2010.

When he was born he was having trouble breathing to they took him for testing. Kandi and Tom were told that his lungs were a little weak and they put him on pressurized oxygen. Saturday morning they found out that he had a hole in his lung and the oxygen had actually caused his lung to collapse. He was transferred to a different hospital where they put a chest tube in. This oxygen acted as a medicine and as of this morning the tear is no longer visible!

God is awesome! Jaxson's lungs are a little underdeveloped but they should fix themselves in a couple of weeks. Now the big thing is to get this baby eating. If all goes according to plan he will be home with his mom, dad, brother, and sisters at the end of the week!

Please pray for them!

Ringing In 2010

I spent New Year's Eve with my nieces, Caileigh and Taia, my hubby, my sisters, Rachel and Shauna, and Shauna's boyfriend Todd!
Despite Taia's face, she was very excited!


Me and Cameron, who did not enjoy wearing the tiara!!


Cameron and Caileigh in the smoke from the fireworks!



Rachel might kill me for this picture but I love it! Taia's looking at her like she's crazy!


They were running around making a ton of noise!




There's Todd! Shauna would not let me take a picture of her all night!



They are best friends and so cute!


Those noise blowers sucked!

New Year, New Me

I am not a huge believer in New Year's resolutions because I never follow through with any of them! This year I plan on trying a little harder to try different things!

I want to get into a better workout routine. Not only do I feel better when I am working out every morning, I also have tons more energy to get me through my day! Plus my brother-in-law is getting married in May in the Cayman Islands and that means wearing a bathing suit!!

I want to spend more time with my hubby doing new things together. When we first started dating we would go hiking on the weekends or drive around and explore. Now we just watch tv or do things separately. We are going to take a few trips this year to places we've never been.

I want to volunteer somewhere, either at a hospital or an animal shelter.

I am going to start taking my photography classes so that I can get started on this new career path! I am very excited about this decision and about what the future will bring!

I am going to blog more and hopefully gain some readers. I enjoy so many other blogs out there and I hope one day that people will enjoy mine. If not, at least I have a record of things that I have done or felt!

I want to take horse back riding lessons. I did it for a few years when I was a kid and I keep talking about doing it again. I think it will be a good way to be outside and get in a decent workout!

So these are not really resolutions, but rather new things to experience to hopefully make me a better person!

no pictures this year!

So normally every Christmas Cameron and I will take a picture in front of his parent's Christmas tree. Last year we were actually in Vail, Colorado over Christmas so we did not take one. I was so excited this year to take one but Cameron got sick and was running a fever Christmas Eve and Christmas day so I could not toture him with this.

So no pictures from Christmas so far, but on New Years Day we are getting together with my sisters and nieces to celebrate and I will definately be taking pictures then!! I am so excited to see them and to eat some more yummy food!

Hope everyone else had a wonderful Christmas with their families!
