Alec Bracken

















I wanted to post some of the most recent pictures Riley has taken.

He does a REALLY good job..

He hasn't actually photoshop'd them..
I was just messing around in a simple photo-editing program-- he does a lot better job.

These pictures are of his younger brother, Alec, for his high school graduation.
And Alec, congrats on your acceptance to B.Y.U!!

What do you think?
School's Out
School is out!! Almost. I only have 1 final and 1 final project due. YAY!
To celebrate, I went to lunch with myself today... mmmmm..
strawberry + spinach poppy seed salad from 25 Main.


-reason enough to live in St. George, UT-


Pre
tty!
.
I've also been working on making pieces of jewelry that I'm going to sell online.
I've started with the easy pieces (rings and earrings).. I'll let everyone know when my site is open.
If you're looking for something that will suck you in, check out www.etsy.com.
It's the coolest handmade website.
I'm addicted.


Our Projects
For our class together, Riley and I had to make something that demonstrates the happiest day of our lives.. of course we picked our wedding.
Our actual projects had to 'express the feelings, with out being literal..' I'm still trying to post them.. they keep showing up in weird, random colors.

We should have designed our own invites!
[I made this when I was messing around]



Our Bird House

Riley's working.. and since I feel like I'm free from school and work, I went shopping for a bird house.. I've wanted one since we've moved in.
The one I picked out was plain white, but I added some stuff to it to make it fit in outside. I'm happy with it.
(If you know any little brown feathery birds that are looking for a home, I've got one available!!)


Our Brave Birdie
Also, while I was putting it outside, I thought I was almost about to get eaten alive by the sweetest looking hummingbird. If I wasn't scared of it, it probably would have sat on my hand. It was the bravest little thing I've seen.
He was probably wondering why I didn't put up a hummingbird feeder, instead of a boring wood house.


Our Creepy Guy

And for the creepy backyard inhabitant.. here he is. I couldn't decide if he wanted to try to eat me as well, or if Scout would eat him but he ran right by her and she didn't even notice.
I was safe + he was safe.. here's a picture I got as I slowly inched towards him. I didn't want to get jumped on!!!


Our New Tree
-A pretty gift we got from my mom when we bought our house-

How pretty.. it has leaves now!
Blah. Another day off spent doing homework.
The good news...We're almost done with this semester!!
The bad news...I signed up for Fall classes today & Riley will tomorrow.

Jack and Scout got a bath today. I would have taken pictures, but my camera battery is dead. They found some awful smelling something outside and rolled in it.. and stunk up the whole house! After loads of room spray, it still smelled bad. The only thing left to do was throw them in the tub.

No other exciting news. Riley took his brother Alec's graduation pictures. I'll post some when he's finished editing them and choosing his favorites.

That's all for now!

P.s. Here's something to look at since there's no pics on this one..
My most recent photoshop/indesign assignment. It'd be better if I actually knew how to use the programs.
I figured I'd write something since we haven't posted for about a week.
Today I realized that I am a good dreamer and thinker.. but lazy cleaner, student and worker.. so I'm up still, 1:18 a.m. doing HOMEWORK to make up for my realization.
Here's an assignment I just finished for my visual design class...



That's all for now! Better get back to working on daydreaming my new business plans...
