Lake Powell

This last week we got invited to go to Lake Powell. (thank you Lindsay and Kris)

Micah tried to surprise me.. but it really didn't work out.

We had so much fun in the sun, with great company and food.

My family... we know how to vacation. ;)

I loved the clouds on the way home, had to take a picture.

Thank you again Lindsay and Kris it was nice to have a relaxing weekend!

After our Sunday drive home we went to McKenzie's house to make salad's for a Baird family party. And I just have to mention. MCKAY MANNING DOESN'T STOP GROWING. He is only one inch shorter than me..... Can you believe it? He is 10 years younger than me. I'm 5'7" & McKay is 5'6"! 

CRAZY

Pictures..

Pictures say so much, and save memories of this lifetime!

I love pictures!

Pudi's

You are probably wondering what Pudi's are. Well here they are. They are so fun!! Japan has these photo booth things that are called pudicuras (aka pudi's), you go in take pictures with all these cool backgrounds and then after you decorate them! We had a blast with Airi and Yuna.

One Day Only

So many of you know I like to use Picnik to edit my pictures. I love what I can do, I don't use the premium features because I don't want to pay a lot each month just to use them. I am fine using the free stuff. I Can still make the pictures look great, and I don't always get on Picnik to edit all the time. Well one day I was bored so I decided to get on Picnik and see if I could do some cool editing. I did, Picnik was doing a special. Everything was free for 24 hours. I was excited and got straight to work. I know that sounds weird but I really do editing photos. And I know I am not the best at it. I don't really have an eye for a lot, and you are all probably sick of me talking about it. Well I got to use some cool effects. I will post the pictures I did that night. Not all were used with premium features. I just like my cool photos and like to share them with others, please don't judge on some of my pictures..ha ha. (especially McKenzie and Lindsay on the Valentine ones) :)



Go try it out. Great options to edit your photos and most of them are free. www.picnik.com

Life

Here is some funny things about what I've been doing or just funny things I've caught. Enjoy!!!!
Here is what I do when I get bored....I get on a web cam and take hilarious pictures. It passes time for me. And It makes me laugh, usually I don't share them with others. So you are special that I am sharing this.

This is my Best Friend Valerie Josine Fox, We do pretty much everything together. She has stuck with me for a very long time. She knows who I am and what I am thinking before I tell her things. That is someone I need in my life. Especially when she is such a good friend and listens to me. Even if it is over a stupid little story. Thanks Val.

Christmas Carol Night! I'll tell you something, I screamed in this movie. It's 3-d what do you expect? When something jumps out at me I scream so you can only imagine how embarrassed I was when I was the only one that screamed in the theater and my friends gave me a hard time. I still don't live it down.
Here is something I got from a missionary. I have mentioned I do have a missionary but I am going to explain a little more on the situation. Yes I have a missionary, but I told him I would date boys. There is no need for me to exclude boys from the 2 years, and plus you have to make sure its the right boy. Right?

This picture was taken a long time ago. I like this picture, 1. it shows how fun I am having with friends. 2. I love the effect it has on the picture and 3. That was probably one of my favorite moments of being Katheryn E. Baird.

I can't tell you the joy I find in this picture. My niece Molly really wanted to do Whitney's hair. Whitney decided to take a nap and let Molly play with her hair. I caught Molly doing this. She was pretending to do some kind of hair technique. But it looks different, looks like she is out to get Whit.
Girls Night?...Well it wasn't really planned but Whit, Val and I ended up buying these huge drinks each only 75 cents. Bought some candy and had a movie night. We really had fun and I think we all needed this night.

I don't know if you can see it but there is a bruise on my finger. Yes a very very sad bruise. I feel like I can't really use that finger. But it is functional. My friend accidental, smashed my finger between a table and a curtain at the church. But hey every time I look at it I get to think of my friend. And I hurt myself too much already that it just feels kind of normal.
I really liked my photography skills on this photo. This is a magic towel. You get it wet and wa la its a towel. Coolest invention out there...okay maybe not. But I really enjoyed this effect, and had so much fun watching it grow. I like to try to take photography pictures sometimes and usually, they don't work out. So you can only imagine how proud I was of myself on this one.

This is my favorite picture. There she is Whitney, and proof she actually cleans. Just kidding she is a very good cleaner. She has always kind of liked to clean. But I love this photo. It is after she just worked out and I love her face. Its priceless. She is my hero, she always helps me through my problems or helps me get out of them. She handles herself well and everyone who knows her loves her. She is going to do good in the world I know it. And I am so lucky to be her sister.

Well there you have it. Some of my insides of my life. I know they weren't amazing, I am not very good at expressing. But here are the thoughts of my life. Although I share often. And thanks for reading. I am enjoying the adventures going on in my life. The next adventure on my list is making a graham cracker house. Thanks to my friend Lyndi's idea. I will post pictures and blog about the experience. If you have any other thoughts of an adventure please share with me.

Friends!

We all have friends and we all lose friends. This past week I've been able to hang out with some of my friends that I haven't seen forever. I remember why we are friends. Yes we are all so different but we all get a long and help each other. That is what good friends are for. They are guys I would never date. ha ha but they are friends who support me and know who I am. I also lost a friend this past week. Things like that happen. And me I hate losing friends it was hard for me. But me and this friend would always butt heads so it was for the best. We are so lucky to have our friends some may stay our whole life and some stay a few months or years. Its interesting how things like this happen. I've had friends for years and some I don't see much of but we are still friends. Feel that we are still so close. I'm grateful for all my friends that I have and the ones I will meet in the future. They have all changed me for the better. Thank you friends!

Pictures!

Some pictures of what I've done this summer. There are a lot. And out of order. Some are recent some I just wanted to share with your viewing. Enjoy!

Sometimes our ward get a train together and give back rubs..best Sunday ever! Love it!!

My friend Thang (the only boy in the picture) took this picture for my birthday. I think this shows all of our personalities so well.

My ward in the summer went to Manti. I took this picture and I was so proud with the outcome.

This is the Manti Temple car groupie. We had such a fun ride there and on the way back. You might of read that post.

A little lake powell this summer. How awesome is that? We love lake powell. Thank you Lindsay & Kris.

Cydne came home from her mission. And is now engaged due to be married on Sept 11. A week from tomorrow. You can only imagine our household is a little bit crazy.

This picture is from today. I got to babysit Kimball. And boy did we have fun. We took some pictures, played with cars, practiced his music, got locked out of the house and had a fun piggyback ride/tickling/trying to tackle me. Love him. In this picture we are suppose to be making a silly face. ha ha. Kimball just looks cute, I succeeded it. ha ha

This one was a little bit better. He is such a sweetheart. I love him. What would I do without my little guy?

I took this picture when I waited in the car for my mother for an hour. No joke. I thought it was really cool with the reflection. I thought it turned out very well.

These are some cool M&Ms my sister got from my sister for mothers day. She had me take the picture so she could remember them. They were too tempting to just leave there.

This is Thang. Thang...there are no words to descibe Thang. He took this picture because like i said who doesn't love me and want a picture with me. :) ha ha. He is a great kid. I love chillin with him.

This is me, David, and Olivia all in Valerie's car. We were headed off to frisbee having a fun time...good thing the cops didn't see our gun ;)

This is us so pretty. We were headed off camping. this is our trying to be excited faces when we heard there were not going to be real toilets. YIKES!

We had a smore night. How fun is that? We all had such a fun time. We did not only do Marshmallows..we did starbursts. d-e-l-c-i-o-u-s.
