My photo skills

Chris bought me Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 for Christmas and I haven't been able to use it yet because my computer doesn't have the ability to cooperate with anything besides the internet (thank goodness for that though). It likes to frustrate me for fun so it shuts down whenever it wants. So anyways, I am at my parents house in Washington where the computer works. I have been spending a lot of time photoshopping. Our wedding photographer wasn't very good and didn't spend any time on our pictures so I have never had a nice one blown up in our house. These are a few that I tryed to fix up a bit. I still have more pictures I want to do.
I'm really excited about photoshop if you cant tell. Let me just say, our wedding day was the happiest day of my life.
I finally got to edit some pictures I took of my sisters last fall. (Chris also bought me my super nice camera for my birthday last year. He is so sweet.) This is Sara. She just graduated last Friday from Connell High School. This is Emily. She is in 8th grade.This is Ashley. She is in 6th grade.

Seven Peaks

Last Saturday we went to Seven Peaks for the first time this year with our friends Rachel and Braxton. It was really fun but we were only there for an hour and a half because I had to go pick up Chris at the airport. It was good I left though because I got sunburnt in that short time.
My sister Jessica works there, how fun huh? She was watching the wave pool so I said hi and snapped a few pictures.

My family in May

My parents went down to Southern Utah on their Motorcycle with another couple (Scott & Tamlee McGary) for a fun trip. They stayed at our house on the way back. It was so fun to have them here even though it was for only 1/2 a day. Here's my dad. Loading the motorcycle. Kara, my dad, Jessica, my mom.
I spent an entire day in Salt Lake at Kara & Amy's house just for fun. That was on memorial day. We went to Temple Square to try to find my cousin Brittani Bleazard that is serving a mission there. It was her preparation day so we didn't see her :( but it was fun anyways.
Kara's beautiful engagement ring. By the way, she is getting married Aug. 22 in the Salt Lake Temple.
Amy Dressed Addysin up in all kinds of scarves and necklaces. She LOVES being a girl.

Our weekend

Our weekend was so fun. Chris has been in Las Vegas selling security systems since the beginning of May. He was able to come home on Saturday afternoon and stayed untill Monday morning. It was short but so nice to have him home. Addysin has grown a love for her daddy. She loves seeing him after we have been apart for a bit. She used to get shy and hide on my shoulder (when he would leave us for a trip) but now she reaches out for him and gets so happy. We love having a daughter and being a family. Here are some pictures from sunday afternoon. We had David, Kira, their kids, and Jessica my sister over for dinner on Sunday. We had a huge meal that was so good. Neither Chris nor I have been eating very good since we've been on our own (apart from each other). Well he goes out to eat with the guys often, but I just snack all of the time. I dont really enjoy making food for just myself. Anyways it was fun to make a big meal again. The weather was soooo perfect sunday evening so we sat outside with the kids for a while. After they left we went on a walk just before it got dark.
I LOVE being with Chris.
We miss you already sweetie!
