Oil Paintings- Cardston Alberta Temple

So I finally finished, I still have to varnish the painting, and eventually frame it, but this is a quick preview of what the finished, unframed painting looks like. I'm very proud of it, as this is my first completely original work. Wyatt took the photo, so this is not a copy of someone else's painting.
Unfortunately you can't really see the details, for example the trees have a lot of green highlights that you can't see in the picture, but overall it does give a fair impression of the final work.

Officially in Nursery!!

My Baby is no longer a tiny baby, she is a TODDLER!! Maija turned 18 months old, and this Sunday was her first official full day of nursery! I am very thankful for that program! I hope Maija learns to love her church time. We were a little curious as to how she was doing, so we popped in a few times to check on her (well mostly Wyatt did), it looked as though nursery is going to be great for her! Here is a picture of Maija before church yesterday morning.

Gold Medal!!

I just wanted to send out a HUGE congratulations to Wyatt. He participated on his first Kickboxing/Karate competition today, and not only did he go against fighters that had much more experience, but he actually was awarded a gold medal, when he fought against them! Wyatt you never cease to amaze me!!! You Rock!!

Here is a picture of his first match, all of his opponents were yellow belts, Wyatt is a white belt since his training is in Kickboxing, and not Karate. He later on competed in the men's open match against a brown belt, which I thought was very brave of him, I was worried, those guys were total ninjas!

Installing a Husband

This totally made me laugh, have a great day everyone!

Dear Tech Support,

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance, particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0 .

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programmes, such as:
· Romance 9.5 and
· Personal Attention 6.5,
and then installed undesirable programmes such as :
· SKYSPORTS 5.0,
· Football 3.0 and
· Golf Clubs 4...1 ..

Also Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2. 6 simply crashes the system.

· Please note that I have tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate.


DEAR DESPERATE ,

First, keep in mind,
· Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while
· Husband 1.0 is an operating system.

Please enter command: ithoughtyoulovedme.html and try to download Tears 6.2 and do not forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update.
· If that application works as designed , Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

However, remember, overuse of the above application n can cause Husband 1.0 to default toGrumpy Silence 2.5 , Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1 ..
· Please note that Beer 6. 1 is a very bad programme that will download the Farting and Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT under any circumstances install Mother-In-Law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources.)

In addition, please do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 -programme these are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0 .

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great programme, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend
· Cooking 3.0 and
· Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck!

TV and babies, not a good mix...

So this article I think is just simple common sense, but I thought I would pass it along. It is an article from cnn.com today that shows research regarding educational DVDs for babies, here it is. oh I know most of my friends share this opinion regarding television, and their children, but instead of ranting about too much TV, I thought I would let the media do it. Have a great day everyone! I also thought it would be interesting to see what other views are out there regarding educational DVDs, so please feel free to comment.

Oil Painting- THANK YOU

I just wanted to say thanks for all the encouragement, and the nice comments about my oil paintings, you guys are all super nice, once my next one is done I will post the final result! I'll be sad when March comes since I won't be continuing my art classes for the spring, and summer sessions, but these seasons mean SUNNY DAYS, so we'll be busy trying to get Maija brown like her mommy!

Cool photos

So Wyatt did such a good job on the photos for Wes and Jacquie's wedding, you can check them out here, but this ring one is pretty cool. I wish he had done my wedding portraits, but wait what do we do about the pictures with the groom??? lol
