So It was Alyssa's birthday last week and we have done a lot of playing. See pictures below. Things are going really good around here. I'm having a lot of fun working at the elementary. Yesterday I had to sub and those days aren't the greatest. I was so exhausted from yelling that I skipped my night class to sleep. The class I work with is a really good class it's just the 2-3 boys that I constantly have to watch that is exhausting. School is also going well. I will be done at the end of April or first of May somewhere in there. Just in time to leave to Florida! We are going to Disney world and of course to Hogwarts (if it is open, we are crossing our fingers). We are also doing a day at Discovery Cove which is swimming with the dolphins and going to sea world. So I'm really excited and I wish it were closer because I seriously need a vacation. But all in all we are doing really good. Riley and I had a fun Valentines day, we went to the same restaurant we've been going to since we've been together and it's fun and delicious every time. Also this week Riley lost his wonderful Grandma Faye. She was a crazy, hilarious, sweet person who I felt so privledged to get to know. And she meant alot to Riley and she will be missed. Her and Grandma J were alot alike and life just isn't the same without them. I know I don't update very often but I'm going to try and be better. I'm also uploading some video's to youtube and I will post the link once there up. Love you all. Haylie

Grandma J photo's

I scanned in Grandma Jernigan's photo's. So if anyone wants them here is the link to the web album. You can right click and save them to your computer or if you want a cd of them you can message me and I will make you a copy and mail them to you. Some of the photo's didn't scan as good as I wanted, especially the photo's in the flip books because they are pretty fragile and I wanted to preserve them as best I could. If anyone else has Grandma photo's that they could post I would really appreciate it. I have a million projects that I want to do with them and I want to make a digital scarpbook of them. Thanks and love you all! http://picasaweb.google.com/hayliejensen/GrandmaJPhotos?authkey=Gv1sRgCInU6L_pq9HbmQE&feat=directlink

Haylie's Haunted House Party!!!

I have a halloween party for my niece's and nephew's every year and I don't know how I'm going to top this one. I made over my house to look like a haunted house (it was pretty amateur but fun) and then we had dinner and decorated some cupcakes. Then we made some glowstick spiders (which their holding up in one picture) and after that we watched some of Corpse Bride and then had a dance party to Michael Jackson's greatest hits. For the dance party portion my living room looked like a nightclub. I bought a black light, a strobe light, and a fog machine. They also had their glow sticks to play with so the kids were going nuts. It was probably the funniest thing I have ever seen. So much fun! I used one of my spooky effects for all my pictures just to add some halloween flair. I'm definitely digitally scrapbooking these pics. Best birthday/halloween party ever! The photo's at the bottom are pictures of the dance party without my flash on. I wanted to capture how fun it looked with the black light and the glowsticks but it didn't do it much justice.
