My life

Sarah's life in a nutshell from Sarisker on Vimeo.

So- I totally stole the whole idea for this video. I did it 1- because I loved the idea, 2- I'm learning how to take music and images from the internet and make it into my own video. I'm just learning how to make movies again. It is rather frustrating, but it will be worth it. I really wish I could just use the old software. It was so simple. But this new one can do so much more and will let me edit with the format that the camcorder films in.

Hiking

Well- I have tried to do a video using all new software and uploading from our new video camcorder. It was a pain in the bum, but I have done it. It took forever... I will learn though ;)

Up in the Canyons

I really can't believe she is old enough to pose for the camera! CRAZY!

Liv with her rock to throw in the river

We love to play in the Canyons here in Utah. They are so pretty. We live only about 10 minutes away! It is one of our favorite Sunday activities. We pack up, have dinner with a camp fire, go on small hikes, throw rocks into the river and just have fun hanging out. This time Claire thought the fire was VERY interesting. She did not understand the concept of hot. It was quite annoying trying to keep her happy and away from the fire... I can't wait until she is a little older. This age is really not one of my favorites...Tantrums, restlessness, melt downs... but I'll just leave that for another post!

What a Character

I had a Dream

Last night I had a dream. It was scary- as most of my dreams are ;) This one was of importance though. I was with my family camping and we were flooded out. Every one was in the car together floating in the water hoping we wouldn't sink (I don't know why we didn't! Probably because it was a dream!!) Anyway- we were realizing that all of our stuff was lost and gone. My mom was SO upset because she realized the beautiful dress she had just bought was now gone. She said "I know what they are saying now when they say we will have to sacrifice!" I told her they were just THINGS. (As I secretly was having a panic attack that I didn't have my camera anymore) Then I realized Brett had gone on a walk and wasn't in the car with us. Then I woke up.
It was a FREAKY dream! But it has caused me to ponder. I want to be PREPARED. For anything. God has given me today, tomorrow, and who knows how long to prepare. What will I sacrifice to be prepared? I want to be prepared physically and spiritually. TODAY I have the time, I have money, I have a house, I have the scriptures. I have everything I need to get prepared. My children will grow up before I know it. Today is what I have to prepare them for what is to come tomorrow. God has given us a commandment to be prepared. He has told us what is to come. It is no secret. Study your scriptures TODAY, prepare just 1 thing that you may need or want to have ready if a disaster strikes.

Girls at the Park

Liv loves the park. She is happiest running and playing outside.


Claire is getting so independent. She can climb and go down the slides all by herself!

Well- I know pictures of the girls is some what boring, but I haven't put up many for a while. Poor Grandma needs to see her girls!

Our trip to D.I.

Today we went to DI. I have never bought clothes there. Today I kept finding LOTS of good stuff though. I couldn't believe it! I think next time I want to look for clothes I will go there! A lot of stuff is like new, but only $3 or $5 It is awesome. I always thought used looked used. Which a lot of the shirts do, but there are plenty of nice pants! Here is what we got:

A new doll.
It was LOVE at first sight. Plus the yarn hair is perfect for learning to braid!

3 capris and 1 shirt

and 2 gently used books.
(the book in the pic has a whole bunch of nursery rhymes! Liv LOVES book)

All for a grand total of:
$17.00
Pretty good if you ask me!

Happy Birthday to ME!

I

We went to Cheese Cake Factory for my Birthday lunch/dinner. It was very good! We LOVE it there!I almost forgot- I made a cake too. I used fondant for the first time. (the pink and white are fondant) It was interesting.... It tasted really good, but looked okay. My cakes sunk in the middle a lot. Anyone know why? I was sure I didn't over mix... nut I guess you never know!

So- for my Birthday I got a new video camcorder. I LOVE it! The only problem is that I now have to learn a LOT to get my videos edited and on my blog. It is a pain to have to learn all new stuff. Soon I will have a video up though.
