getting crafty

I made this. I'm proud of myself, very proud. Original instructions can be found here. Send me a Christmas card and it will definitely get displayed.

please go, read, and enjoy! Ben and I (and his brother Aaron, he definitely can't be forgotten) have been working really hard on this, and hope that it can help anyone out there needing a little motivation.

stylin'

I tried to figure out why I used to blog so much more than I do now.....its facebook. When I have a cute picture to share, I put it there....instead of here. Oops.

girls night

I love these girls....they get me through all my temper tantrums, mood swings, good and bad days, and everything else that life throws at me.

another gem

seriously.....(again thanks to my girl, Bones, for bringing it to me)


p.s. I would really like to blog more, but nothing comes to me as important, interesting, or exciting. Except of course good "lesbo rock" that I feel should be shared with all the world.

musical monday...ya missed me?

Thank you, Bones.....this song is hot!

loving lately

I feel the need to share this with everyone I can. I laughed so much.

they keep growing

THREE YEARS OLD!

Natalie is 3! She doesn't look like me, but decided that inheriting my attitude and snottiness would be the way to go. Fun for me! This video shows that's she's got a little daring streak in her too. She's been climbing up this thing since she could walk.
We love this little girl. She keeps us guessing and laughing (and crying) all the time.


My favorite part is when she says "I'm helping down, I'm helping down!"

ONE YEAR OLD

Oh my!!!!! Samantha is a whole year old (a couple of weeks ago...I'm awesome). She came out huge, and alert and hasn't stopped being either of those things for one minute. Sammy keeps us...active. Still hoping she'll stop crying the majority of the day....but she's cute.

Thanks to my friend,Traci Rampton, for taking these great shots.

i believe the children are our future...

and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

the next american idol

right after this she fell, "hurting" her leg, and exclaimed "I'll NEVER sing again!!!!!"

I gave Sammy her binkie back and she took a 4 hour nap. best decision ever!

booooooooo!

I'll be spending this dreary wednesday jamming words back down my throat. After 3 days of no binkie for Samantha, I just had to give it back. True to form, she cannot do anything the same (or as easily) as her sister. I guess, for now, the binkie is back for naps and bedtime. I have a few friends that will take such joy in this because of the hard time I gave them about their hesitation to take the plunge.....well add me to the list. Sometimes listening to screaming all day, and enduring too short naps, just isn't worth it.

How bout this for a happy kid though....

i'm a mom and....

this child is a give me eye contact, attention, and love all day long kind of baby. i am not a give eye contact, attention, and love all day kind of mom. this creates lots of crying and whining ALL DAY LONG!

and she just threw the old ipod on my key board.......the fffffffffffffff key isn't working so hot anymore.
