haha and awww

So I have been using my Dad's digital camera because mine is getting old and while looking through the pictures on there I found this little gem. I could not stop laughing. Ben freaking cracks me up.
Now I cant be sure when this picture was taken, but I do know that we definitely belong together. haha.

ANYWAYS...

I know Nicole already posted Spencer's 9 month pictures on her blog but I am just blown away by the handsomeness of my nephew. I had to show him off on my blog! He should be in magazines right? Awww I love Spency, You did good Nicole ;-)

I'm also excited because these pictures were taken by GE Photography and Ben and I are getting our picture taken by her next week. So I am pumped to get some great pics of Ben and I. They will most likely be better than the one at the top of this post. haha.

Family Time...

So Roxanne wanted a picture of her new hair when it was all done up so we took one together...yah, she is taller than me...I am the shortest :(

And then I took one with Presto. He will probably be taller than me too...

And then I took one with Spency...he looks thrilled. haha. I love that kid :)

Oh and here is the present I got Raquel...a scarf of course! She said she liked it. She is with her best friend Kelsey in the pic.

After dinner all the girls just hung out and talked today, it was nice to just sit and chat it up. Family is awesome! I love them :)

Long Day....

So today seems like it has lasted forever.

-I worked 7pm-7am this morning, got home but didn't fall asleep till 9...woke up for the day at 11:30...so didn't get much sleep. (I don't mind working nights though because I only work once a week.)

-After that Ben and I ate a big 'brunch' and watched a movie until he went to work. :(

-But then I got ready and called Roxanne to help me pick out a present for Raquel so we were shopping forever.

-THEN Roxanne informs me that she is sick of her hair and wants a change by Monday for the first day of school.

-So I took Roxanne to get her hair chopped off (which looks so cute) but she decides she wants to color it. Us Shumways always color our own hair so we went and bought some.

-Well I decided to get creative and so we colored the underside of her hair brown and then I put a bunch of brown streaks throughout her hair, and let me tell you...I am very pleased with the results....

-Mind you, I have never done any kind of streaks in any ones hair before so considering that, I am proud of myself. I think her hair looks awesome! Very stylish. I've always secretly wanted to be a Cosmetologist so this was fun for me. I'm also glad she trusted me. haha.

-I thought I might just add that the reason I bought Raquel something is because she is moving to Idaho in a week to go to school up there. :( So we will miss her, but she will have the best time! BYU-Idaho is a blast.

-So it's finally time for me to go to bed...yay.

My First One...

So give it up for my first post! Maybe my last...I don't know.

Other people with blogs have kids and stuff to write about. I just have the two of us to write about so this could get boring. Mainly cause I'm right in the middle of nursing school and Ben works a lot. Charlie is our doggie and he isn't that exciting either. But hey, we love our lives!

So here is what I'm all about right now:

First of all I'm obsessed with scarves. Not the heavy duty winter scarves but lightweight scarves. I love them so much that I continue to buy more and more. They are just a great accessory when you need a little color. Ben doesn't really get my obsession but I LOVE THEM!

Secondly, I am obsessed with Heros. I never watched the show on TV but since we have Netflix I have been watching it online and it is really good. I just barely finished the first season and I love all the different story plots. Its an exciting show.

Also, recently I went to a baby shower for one of my high school friends who I happen to still keep in touch with. It was good to see her and a few of my other friends from back then. It was nice to catch up with them and reunite! Here's some of us: Well I guess that's all for now :)
