More Of My Sisters....

2009-04-14T14:26:00.008-06:00

My sisters are all really beautiful, and I hope they know it. So, these are what I took on Easter Sunday. I am going to the Rocky Mountain School of Photography weekend conference and I get to take two pictures with me that the "pro's" will critique and I think it will be these first two.

I am really excited to start this new little (well really huge) thing in my life. I have visions and ideas that I would love to get started on. Hopefully I can learn a lot from this school this weekend and come back ready to rock and roll!!! I love love love this red can. It was in the midst of a pigeon housing complex and the ground was disgusting but I found a piece of clean plywood to lay on to get this sweet shot!!!

Conrad Fun...

Here are some pictures of my little sisters. They were very excited to take pictures and I think they could get used to having a camera on them all the time. That's all I ask of them, is that they don't mind if I am snappin away at their every move!!!

Emily x2

I recently went to the park with two of my favorite kids...Emily and well, Emily. It was my last "babysitting" day with Big Emily as they are moving away so I thought I would do some pictures of her for her mom and dad.
Just a few pictures in to the playing at the park, Emily was basically expecting to be photographed. She would wait on the slide and say "I'm waiting for the picture before I go down". It was pretty funny. This is my favorite picture, It was totally a coincidence that Emily was going down the slide when I was trying to get just Emily Flem, but it turned out really cute and I love it.

My amazing sister

2009-04-03T20:27:00.005-06:00

So I went to Missoula a couple weekends ago and my sister let me practice my photo shooting with her fiance and her! It was really exciting, it seemed short, but it was good to practice! I have a lot to learn and this is my first "official" shoot!!! It is fun!

Toddlers and Tiaras (two blogs in one day!)

2009-02-15T20:29:00.005-07:00

If you have ever seen that ridiculous show than you will appreciate this! Debra and I were watching these moms exploit their two and three year old girls on the TLC channel, and suddenly Eliana walks around the corner! I am pretty sure we both had the same idea in our heads...mine was "let's exploit Eliana!" Probably the most useful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. So after the show was over, we nabbed Elie and began the makeover process!!! It was really fun and she looked so cute! Especially the Cindy Crawford mole!!! It was too cute. Don't let the shoulder one fool you...She is not naked...She is wearing a diaper!!! I hope that doesn't sound wierd! HA!Pre-hair...A little Straitener action!The little beauty queen!!! We had lots of fun with her!

Holy Toledo it's Been a Long Time!

2009-02-15T19:39:00.007-07:00

Hey friends. I probably won't get a lot of response to this blog, just because I haven't been on here for oh...two months! Let's see, I have not been up to a lot, other than working my booty off and trying to save up some moolah for a new car!

Basecamp 09' was fantabulous! I enjoyed myself as well as the home-y feeling of just being around a few people I love! I also have been enjoying my new camera, it's pretty sweet and I could not have been more blessed by my family to receive it!

Family, Fun, Christmas, and New Cameras!

2008-12-27T15:03:00.006-07:00

Hey, it's been a long time blogging...and I finally get time to put my pictures up from christmas. I know that was only two days ago, but it feels like foerver! First of all, I got a new camera...it wasn't exactly the one I asked for, but I love it and will get used to it! It's a Sony...a100...its pretty complex...but nice! So for christmas, all my sisters got to come home. My aunt and her kids and my grandma were also home! It was pretty exciting!

My sister let me take a few pictures of her by the train! The sun was in her eyes, it's not how she really looks.

Butte...fun and exciting.

2008-11-24T12:21:00.005-07:00

So, I went to Butte with Marissa to visit some fabulous people...John and Elisha Mack...and it was really fun. I loved every minute of it, with the exception of the fact that I caught the flu. It was my first time there so we had to explore the "uptown". I thought that it was a beautiful town, despite everyone's warnings about how "ugly, lame, boring, and depressing" it is. I liked it a lot, and it was fun to just get away from everything. So, here are some pictures I took.

The things I love!

2008-11-06T18:08:00.006-07:00

Hey, this is just this fun thing I put together... thanks to my dear friend Marissa!

This picture?

2008-10-30T17:23:00.005-06:00

Hey guys. I actually have not done any blogging for a good month, but I was waiting for some sweet photo-ops. I borrowed Christel's old film Nikon and was taking some fun snapshots of the chilluns at mi casa. I still have to get them developed so until then, here is a picture actually for Elisha (Happy Birthday yesterday by the way). This was maybe the funnest weekend I have had in a while. It was vision, and we (Elisha and John, Andy, and Nate) just did really fun things. I made them go to the giant chairs to see just how fast Andy could climb them, then we went to Black Eagle Park to play a little tire tag (or John's rendition of it). Then we went to Starbucks like everyday! FUN! So I will be joining them in Butte soon hopefully to continue our adventures.

Family Love

Weddings weddings weddings. This weekend I went to TWO in TWO days! They just so happened to be where part of my heart is! The first, in Conrad. I got to visit my sister Sierra, my dad, and my sister Robin! It was really fun even though it was for a mere six hours. I went to bed around midnight and got up at six to head home to my mom's house. After I got to Mom's, we left for the next place where part of my heart is...Billings! My wonderful sister Amber was the maid of Honor in the wedding. But the best part was that I was with my parents, Hannah, and Amber all at once! I used to be a wierd-o about family, and hanging out with them. I always got told that I never do enough with the family and that I am always out with my friends more than family. I always said, "No one in my family is going to leave Great Falls, so I have the rest of my life to hang out with them". Then all of a sudden my dad and step-mom, and two sisters (Sierra & Jayde) moved to conrad. Soon after, Robin packs up and heads over there too. UHH, five down only four to go... Then Amber decides to ship off to Billings. Over the last year or so I have really missed them, and of course "wish I would have spent more time with them", but we talk a lot and it makes for a pretty fun road trip going to visit them!!! So I really cherish and enjoy every moment I get to spend time with my sisters. So much even, I will blog about it!
This one is a little awkward...Mom's Lipstick... and fun...that is all I have to say.

Spontaneity

2008-09-22T15:26:00.005-06:00

My dear friend Kassie and I were driving away from the movie theater, when I said....Look at those huge chairs. Lets climb them I bet no one does that.

Well, we did and it was fun? I am a big sucker for random fun things that most people don't think are too fun.

Kassie is there for me though, when I am feeling spontaneous that is why I love her. So needless to say, it ended a fun night climbing (I am sure with a little bit of tresspassing) the giant chairs at furniture row. I may make it a continuous thing! It was fabulous.

Emily Madison

2008-09-11T19:54:00.009-06:00

Hello all. I have been thinking a lot about children lately. Probably shouldn't ask why, because I don't know. As some of you know, I work in a pre-school. I adore almost all of the kids each in their own special way, there is just something about them that I love. However, with the whole "corporal punishment" whatever thing going on, these kids are not the best they can be. They are not being brought up in Christian homes (almost none of them), they NEVER get the "spoon" and there is no punishment for their crazy misbehavior.

This is where I would like to introduce my wonderful friend Miss Emily. Emily has two amazing parents, pretty sure all of you know that though, and she is being raised the way God has intended her to be raised.

Sure she slips up and misbehaves, but who doesn't, she is a kid. The thing is that there is a HUGE difference between her, and those other kids I love and take care of. She is being brought up to change the world, what she learns and how she is growing is impacting her generation already. Steve and Christel, you two are wonderful parents, you are raising a world changer. Emily is great and I love her.

The top ten reasons why I love Emily:

1. She is the only kid I want to be around after a stressful day at work.

2. She knows that she is my favorite and tells me it too. "I your favorite"

3. She lets me take endless pictures of her.

4. Sometimes when she is in trouble with mom and dad, she wants to see me.

5. She gets excited when we get to "Hang out down dairs in Heather's woom"
6. She is the epitome of greatness.

7. She tells me she misses me while I am at work.

8. Her parents put up with me living in their basement.

9. She welcomes me home with a big "COME IN HEATHER"

10. She is God's divine creation and I wouldn't change anything about her.

My Fabulous Road Trip!

2008-09-09T21:05:00.003-06:00

So, I went to Missoula this weekend with my sister, Hannah, and it was interesting, yet unpredictable. Things happened that let's just say, upset me...but I had to get over it and still try to have a good time. I decided to use this trip as my start of my little "I want to be a photographer" kick. It was fun to see things that aren't in Great Falls and it was pretty cool to be able to take pictures of random things. I loved it, plus Marissa showed me this sweet thing on the computer, it's no photoshop, but it's still cool. Check it...
My amazing little sister Hannah, or Hanner, or Maynard...Sister things I guess!

Ten on Tuesday

2008-09-02T12:33:00.019-06:00

1. Four more days till I get to hang out with my favorite two people in the whole world, Amber and Hannah, two of my sisters.
2. I am on my lunch break and it's already half over...sad.
3. I think we have a meeting tonight, but I am not too sure...
4. The friends I have are amazing and I love them all

5. I think I might take Emily to the park today, if the weather is not freezing cold 40 degrees. Hanging out with Emily after a stressful day is my favorite thing to do. I don't think she knows how amazing and wonderful she truly is!
6. Noah is pretty cool too, he is basically the cutest child there is...maybe...it might be a close second for Israel though...you can decide.
7. I am really excited for my very best friend Kassie and her awesome boyfriend Courtney...I think they are cute and basically destined for marriage!
8. I put a lot of pictures on here already so I won't put anymore on, but I am having a lot of fun doing this. I might ditch my myspace and fall in love here all over again.

9. Only eight minutes till I have to go back to work, it's okay though, the chilluns are being pretty good. Except for the fact that its cold season and they are gross...AHHH I am running out of hand sanitizer.

10. Ten on Tuesday is a little bit difficult, I only have nine.

Aggrivating and Exasperating

2008-08-27T12:53:00.004-06:00

Today marks the very first day

in which my vehicle has been the victim of vandalism. I woke up a little late this morning and was rushing out the door when I stepped in a pile of glass on the ground. Then looking up I see my window shattered all over my front seat. There were like five really nice newer cars parked around me...so why me. Why do people have to be so brainless. I wasn't too upset, then the cop told me "well, someone is mad at you and you don't know it, so..uh...I guess you should just not park on the street" while looking at the driveway fully equipped with TWO vehicles already...

OK officer, I will go ahead and park in the driveway....

Needless to say, it is going to cost a mere $100 to fix....Whatev.

New things and Nice Ideas

2008-08-26T12:53:00.001-06:00

Hello, My nonexistant blog friends. I am increasingly intrigued by the world of the infamous "Blogspot". It is seemingly confusing and I am extremely concerned with my chances of becoming a world class "Blogger". I like the idea, but I need help sometime soon.
