Grids!

On Sunday I found out how to make photo grids! Here's one of me!!!
Perfected on Picasa of course!!! 

Party at my house

You heard me!!! There was a party at my house for the employees in Dad's group at John Deere. Alice and I just watched T.V., and I also was on the computor. It was pretty fun, as you can see from these pictures.


#1 is me taking a picture of myself.
#2 is Alice watching T.V.
#3 is me expressing my love for the computor
#4 is the T.V. show we were watching. Luckily I got the picture of the tender moment in this show called "That's So Raven". 

New Things In My Life

The first new thing in my life is my braces being tightened- that's actually a bright aqua and dark maroon, not Christmas colors.
The next thing is my haircut! It's short and sweet. I love it, and it's REALLY cute flipped out because there are like 20 layers!!!
 

Thank You Picasa

Here are just a few photos I've perfected on Picasa. All of me, of course.


 

Just Something New

Just wanted something new, and I also wanted something that looked something like the holiday season to spread some holiday cheer.
Love to all!!!

Setting up the Christmas Tree

Right after coming home from Catherine's,and washing both cars, we decided to set up the Christmas tree. It was really fun with being able to climb the ladder, and I felt like I was a store keeper hanging up the ornaments, getting ready for the Big Christmas Sale. Not really, but it was still fun.

Here's a very end shot. The lighting's not really good though.

Thanksgiving Vacation

This week we went on vacation to Catherine's house and I got some really cute pictures. I basically held the camera the whole time.

Here's a family picture- wink wink to Jamie- all we were missing was Aaron. And Lily just had to sneak her head in somewhere! Connor and Brenna were so cute! They would both say CHEESE! and smile really hugely.

And Brenna LOVED combing her hair, and would start combing everybody else's hair. And she would start thowing it, and laugh when I would pick it up. Luckily I got a few shots of her combing her own hair.

And here is Connor with his ultra-cool "run and shoot" glasses.
And here is Brenna and me reading Goodnight Moon.
And finally, Thanksgiving Dinner!!!!!
Brenna had lots of fun eating.........
She had an itch all over the back of her head so she got it all over the back of her head, but I didn't get a shot of that.
And then Aaron's birthday celebrated a week early with a tastey chocolate gateau. Everybody loved it.
Alice also liked the hats.
Brenna's reading Goodnight Moon to Connor after reading it to everybody else 20 times.
So all in all, it was a pretty good vacation, going to the park everyday, man it was the life.

Just wanted something new...

Just thought I'd change the template, and I found the perfect one! How do you like it?

My Busy Weekend

Ok. Here's what has happened over my weekend:

Friday: All-State Orchestra in Ames, IA, all day- Wake up time: 6 am, got home at 7:15 pm.
It was fun, and I think I'll do it next year if my friends are able to come, too. The only downside is that you get sooooooooooo tired! I was about to collapse after the concert.

Friday Evening: School Dance: 80's theme, 7:30-10 pm, leave and get there: 7:37 pm, got home at 10:10.
That was really fun too, but I ended up wearing jeans and a sweater which was a big mistake because it was SUPER hot in there!

Saturday at 10 am: leave for Nauvoo for the rest of the day, leave around 10 am, got back around 9 pm.
It was really fun at Nauvoo because I got to baby-sit with other people in the ward, and then I got to do baptisms for the first time, and I thought it was really fun despite the cold, misty outside where it's pitch black at 6:oo!

Sunday:
Played my viola with a friend who played her violin and we accompanied the choir in "Come Thou Fount", and it sounded REALLY good!

Here's your answer, Justin!

Justin, here's your answer. This is Lily 5 minutes ago, and this is Lily after playing aroung with brightness and contrast. I think it's pretty cool how you can change photos. Do you like it?

PS. this is the SAME photo, just played around with!

My New Bang Cut!

I recently got my bangs cut by Mom a half hour ago! What do you think?
I think I like them!!!!!

Who or What Is This?

Playing around some more, and decided to give a Bailey Contest: Who or What is this?
Here's a clue, she lives in our house.

Another Ode to Toothpaste

As you know, my teeth dramatically changed to white after brushing my teeth over 15 times a day. Well, Alice did the same. Isn't she cute?

Just Playin' Around........

Just playin' around on the computor with the editing "thingy" and just decided to have some FUN. I got really into it and decided to "poke-a-dot" the picture. It's basically covered in poke-a-dots of different colors and shapes stratigically placed upon my face, shoulders, eyes, teeth, lips, eyebrows, and hair.
More to come- ELLE

I've got it!!!

Jamie, I now know how you take 1/2 the color out of pictures! Boy, am I going to have fun! - Rubbing hands together....
This is so fun!!!!!.................

This is REALLY fun!!!!!!!!............... I feel like a real photographer now, not depending on how the color really really is, but what I can change it to be, maybe to even save mankind one day! Have I ever mentioned I'm going to be a photographer when I grow up? If you get tired with one subject, you can always switch to another! There's so many subjects to choose from, who could ever get tired with photographering!

Thank you Toothpaste!

Toothpaste can work wonders! By brushing my teeth every time I ate a piece of candy, my teeth turned WHITE, WHITE, WHITE!!!!!!

Before:

After:Don't try this at home because it might not work, and I want to spare you the deepest of sorrows.

Recitals

Yesterday we had our fall recitals. Notice how tall I am against the door. I'm almost as tall as Mom! Here are some before shots: Alice wore her elegant Halloween costume, which serves also as a Sunday dress, therefore she wore it to the recitals. She also wore the dress for the song, which was called Witches Dance. Here she is announcing her song and name, which sounded like this: My name is Alice Bailey and I will be playing Witches Dance by Paganini. Pretty simple.
And here I am just after I announced myself sayng: My name is Elizabeth Bailey and I will be playing the 4th movement of the Sonata in G Major by Marcello. Once you practice it about 50 times, you get pretty used to it.
And here's one of the "after shots" I wasn't really amused with the idea of after shots, and I had heard the treats were really good, so I wanted to hurry. I guess haste never made that great of a picture. Proverb by Elle Bailey
