Day 36 - Sweet Sleeping Bliss

The beds in the hotel room are comfortable. Can you tell? Abby looked so adorable, I couldn't resist snapping some shots of her in this sleepy condition. I have to admit. I love staying in hotel rooms. It's fun and it's easy. I could totally be one of those types of person's that lived in one of the suites at the top of a ritzy hotel... if I had the money! I know my mom is with me on this one!

Day 35 - Heritage Makers Regionals

I love Regionals! The only thing I love more is Reunion. It's so awesome to get a weekend full of training and this regionals event is no exception. We have a brand new business opportunity and plan designed to get consultants earning more money faster. It's absolutely incredible. This was the only shot I took all day today... one of the slides from one of the presentations.

Day 34 - On the way to Oak City

This has got to be one of my most favorite pictures of the year so far... maybe even top 10 of all time personal photos. Abby and I drove to Oak City, UT today to stay with my friend Julie. Julie and I will be heading to Provo tomorrow for Heritage Makers Regionals. Abby did so good on the drive today, other than throwing her paci whenever she was mad. This was one of those pit stops, so I took advantage of it and snapped a shot.

Day 33 - My CM365 Calendar

Once again... I love my business! It's so awesome that I can make memorabilia from my own personal photo blog! I put this together so that I could see a few of my most favorite pictures from each month throughout my day. I used to be fanatical about picking out my new calendar for the year... it seemed so defining. I don't buy calendars any more, I make them... so awesome!

Day 32 - Kitty Stretch

One of those nights again... I love my cat. I'm glad she is such a willing subject. She sneaking in a little nap and I disturbed her slumber with my photo prep. I'm not sure how I caught this awesome shot of her stretching out of her sleepy state. It's pretty darn cute. Makes me want to snuggle her.

Day 31 - Muddy Shoes

Abby and Bailey had a great time playing on the dirt hill in the back yard of the Anderson's today. Abby got a kick out of running down hill. It was still pretty wet, as you can see. Abby didn't have her play shoes on (pretty obvious as well)... as a matter of fact, she was wearing a dress and tights. The perfect outfit for playing in the mud. It all washed out just fine.

Day 30 - What A Sky

I was looking out the window and saw this beautiful blue colored cloud cover. This is one of those times where I could snap shots with my eyes instead of a camera. What we see with our own sight is so much more clearer and purer than what a camera sees. Maybe it's that sometimes, the emotion just isn't in the photo and that is where the translation is lost.

Other Happenings:
Only attended Sacrament since Abby has a cough
Took 2 naps today with Abby
Excellent dinner and FHE at the Andersons
Abby now says the word Girl

Day 29 - Simonson

Simon climbed up on the middle shelf of Allie's cat tower today. It was so darn funny to see him trying to cuddle up on the shelf, which had to be uncomfortable at best. I know Kari and I both were trying not to laugh too hard so as to not give Simon the idea that it's ok to climb on the cat tower.

Jan 29th

Other Happenings:
Hosted Tastefully Simple party
-Kari, Susan, Mindy, & Merideth
Played with Simon and Kari most of the day

Day 28 - CM365 2010 Storybook

My book arrived in the mail today! I have been so anxious to get my hands on it and start showing it to all of my friends. It is so amazing. I really love being a personal publishing consultant and running my own business. It's so rewarding!

Other Happenings:
Walked the mall and played in playground
-spotted Bishop Davis and his wife Noreen, who joined us
Abby has been saying "I did it", but I think this is the first time

Watched Inception

Day 27 - So Girly

My little girl is, well... such a girl!! How did I end up with a girly girl? Me, the tomboy. I think I've always been frightned of having a girl because I never really liked girly stuff. Well... I like girly stuff more now. Anyway, I'm really happy I have my little girly girl. She is totally into shoes, necklaces, and even purses and wallets. I'm going to have to learn how to fix her hair.

Other Happenings:
Abby learned the sign for bird
Abby said bird for the first time
Storytime at Library; chatted Shelley Neil and her girls
Finished The Singing
Made P-Dub's Cinnamon Toast the Right Way, very good

Day 26 - Fun with Friends

We met with some friends at the playground in the mall today. The girls had a pretty good time playing together. It was cute to see them all trying to play on the car at once. It was a challenge to get them to all look at the camera at once though... this one wasn't a half bad shot compared to some of the others.

Other Happenings:
Went to the temple
Abby hung out with Bailey and Papa Anderson
Woke up with Abby at 315, couldn't go back to sleep

Day 25 - Where They Belong

I love that Abby is big enough to help me with a few things around the house. She is quickly learning where things go and is many times all too anxious to do things all by herself. For instance, she knows where the silverware goes. She is still too small to see that there is an order in to where things belong in the drawer, so for now, she just drops them in... and I arrange afterwards. I bet if she knew they have their own slots, she would be all over putting them in order... she is so good at sorting!

Other Happenings:
Finished my CM365 Calendar
Checked out Operation Feedback
Walked the mall and played in playground
Abby knows where her arms and legs are
Listened to Mary Christensen on The Mind Aware
Listened to the beginning of the State of the Union Address

Day 24 - Around Reno #1

As a personal project, I'd like to start venturing around town and taking pictures of things that catch my eye. Today I stopped at an old mill on the Truckee River right off of 4th Street just before Mogul. It was fenced in so I didn't really any great shots of the mill, but this worn down building on the property intrigued me. I love dilapidated structures.

Other Happenings:
Worked on my CM365 Calendar
Grocery Day
Made juice twice
-the second time was because Abby asked
2 Consultant interviews
Abby pooed in the tub, yuck

Day 23 - Some Random Cuteness

There are so many times during the day that I catch myself thinking how amazingly cute my little Abby girl is. I'm sure it's pretty obvious since most of my picture are of her and her cuteness. Here is one of those moments as she snuggles her bunny and drinks her milk.

Other Happenings:
Abby hit her elbow at church and said ouch for the first time
Played Scum and drank smoothies at FHE
Ward conference was awesome
Abby had two naps: woke up at 530 this morning
Spent an hour on the phone with Steve
