on beer pong.

halloween did not disappoint this year.
everyone came to my neighborhood to
trick or treat:
there was a zebra

and the kool-aid man

and the clan from the batman comics
harley quinn, joker, batman, robin...and poison ivy.

here's one of just the nephews and niece


i went to a co-worker's party later that night.
turns out, i'm pretty good at beer pong.

i met up with achmed.
you know-

the dead terrorist
and had a few shots to make sure
i would remember my night
well into sunday morning...


this old girl just aint what she used to be-
but it sure was fun pretending i could hang!

a day shy of memorial day...

it was rock band

and rock stars.

celebration at it's best!

thank you, army
thank you air force.
thank you navy
thank you marines.
thank you coast guard
and
thank you to their families.
for your sacrifice
while making my safety possible.

hello new year's eve.


my goodness.
it's been an eventful 2008.
from getting used to a 40 hr
work week for me
to new schools for the kids and
a forever home for all of us.

the election went the way i'd hoped


a new car is added to the list of
things i adore...

and more time with family makes 2008
memorable.


here's to hoping 2009
is hiding its share of happy surprises.

the holidays 2008.

our christmas was spent at
my mom's house this year.

what a mis-matched bunch we are.
:)
you can tell by my expression here


that i was shocked to hear
i am going to be an auntie.
again.
thanks to this gal.

she says if its a girl i get to keep her
because she wants another boy.
apparently they have named it
ghostrider.
i kid.
i kid.
all joking aside-
i am happy for her.
babies are always good news in my book.
always.

now on to
christmas pics of the kids.
she got what she wanted

and something i wanted her to have-

she is in love
with domo.
all things japan, really.
we all miss it, in our own way.
i think i was too much of a spoiled american
the last oh, six months we were there.
i was over it and wanted to leave.
now i am in a better place
(emotionally)
and i just want to go back.
but i digress...
i loved this pressie
for him
the bestest.

i read that book to him
every. night.
when he was a kid.
and he had it memorized.
and we loved it.
so when i saw that tee
at urban outfitters last week
i had to buy it.
had to.

hope your holiday was filled with
the stuff that makes a holiday memorable.

obviously mine was!!
oh, & a quick p.s.
here's a shot
of the photo project
in the new casa:
only one wall is done
in the living area.
looks a lot better in person.
love the mis-match of non pic items
and family pics.


i'm stuck on what to do above the t.v.
it's the part i am always stuck on.
in every house.
and we've moved a lot.
so that's a lot of stuck.

the cards are next...


what you just heard was
a sigh of relief.


the tree is up.

one more week
until i have my own internet.
i am DYING without my daily dose.
no, really, i am.

at least we've gotten some good memories
out of this internet/cable tv drought.
the family has watched no less than 5 christmas movies
together!!
BOTH kids and both james and i
sometimes my sister and her girlfriend too.
that makes me happy.
family christmas memories...

oh hello, october.



i'm so glad you're here.
i've looked forward to your
crisp mornings
and your colorful days.
to the PSL that the Bucks offers
in celebration of your season.
of course i'm a fan of your spirit,
jack-o-lanterns on doorsteps
and potted plants in an array of oranges and yellows
my favorite part?
the last day in your bag of tricks.
candy in plastic pumpkins
and greetings of happy halloween.
i hope you'll enjoy your visit.
i know i will.

I believe that my life's gonna see the love i give return to me.



another easter pic.
i just realized our hair is the
exact
same
color.

so the sky is grey here today.
the weather has affected my mood.
but in a good way.
calming.

i have the dishes done,
two loads of laundry started.
and i am about to crank out a few
bits of scrappy.
maybe.
i have been working in a spiral
art "journal" since the beginning
of the year...i like how low key and
easy it is.
so i may just get messy with that.

the house is quiet and i am ready.
enjoy your sunday peeps...

i plan to enjoy mine!!

Friday, March 28, 2008

'tween for a nice easter pic.

happy valentine's day.

from the m&m me.

told ya i'd be the green one!! :)

i'm off to paint my sister's room.
i figure she's been waiting over a month
for me to finish...
hopefully today i can get at least one coat
of paint up...
we had to prime the walls
twice...and by *we* i mean *me*.
that red was a pita to cover!!

i hope it turns out the way i envisioned it.

happy valentines day y'all.
love the one you're with.

like whoa.

it's 2008 y'alls.
happy new year!!
hope everyone had a great night.
ours was low key, i made lots of appetizers
and cookies to munch on
while we played games like guesstures, cranium
and scrabble.

i generally stay away from new year's resolutions
because i am usually setting myself up for failure.
so it came as a shock to me this morning
that i resolved to do something.

i resolve to learn one thing.
one thing each week
about my camera/photography.
only one.
c'mon self, you can do it!!

in the meanwhile, 
today will be spent drinking lots of coffee,
perhaps hitting up a sale or two at the mall,
and continuing big love on my portable dvd.
while i scrap.
hopefully.

i knew it wouldn't last.
hubbs just informed me he needs
to go fix the 'puter at mi madre's.
damn PC.
:)

kimmyk, it really helps to know what i am making
so i can shop accordingly...all those meals take like 40 mins 
or less to make (or 5 mins of prep and then into the crockpot!!)
it just looks involved!! heh heh

planning ahead.

made last night while watching big love on dvd.


there's something to be said about planning ahead.


i think i am going to punch two holes on the side
and thread a lolli through.
because everyone needs a sweet on valentine's day!!

& because it's monday again:

curry and white rice
pork loin with mashed potatoes
crockpot turkey pot pie, only it'll be chicken 
sun-dried tomato chicken breasts with roasted potatoes
bbq brats and brotchen with steamed veggies 
soup and sandwiches

enjoy your monday...
and happy new year's eve!!
we are having family over for a night of 
board games, appetizers and desserts.

wish
me
luck.

christmas on the concho.

we took a roadtrip yesterday.

it was good to get the heck outta dodge
for a day.
i wanted to go see the lights on the concho


and it was the father-in-law's 55th b-day.
we took him to zentner's daughter...
it was a nice visit, the lights were so pretty, 
and we had a lot of fun laughing at auggie 
the doggie

as he sat his fat butt down to eat.
this is the funniest thing to me
i had never seen a dog sit down to eat!!

tomorrow will be spent taking down the tree, 
i brought home a wonderful family heirloom
and i need to make room for it!!

i will take pics just as soon as everything is 
in it's rightful place...
hmm.
better not hold your breath...
until then,
be well friends!!

crafty christmas eve eve eve.



i had the nephew and niece yest.
for 6 hours.
my hat's off to you mothers of pre-schoolers
and toddlers.
and twice to those who have one of each!!
i had completely forgotten how little you can 
get done while they are awake!!

planned a few activities, since idle hands 
are the devil's playground... :)
but that backfired.
sugar+preschooler=HYPER preschooler!!

anyhow.
that was yesterday.
today i am not feeling well.
early present from the half-pints maybe?
throat is itchy and nose is runny.
so i'm off to try and sleep it off
so that my christmas is not spent drunk on nyquil.

be well, friends.

busy night.


last night i had two events to attend.
first up was bekahboo's choir concert.
she did phenomenal!!

so proud.
then, as we were leaving,
we decided to head over to the field house 
to catch part of crabigayil's basketball game.
i love watching those varsity girls play.
they are fierce.
we ended up catching the whole game- 
they started late!! 



love it when things work out like that.
it's very important to me that i do these 
things for my siblings, 
it'll be six months 
this sunday, since their daddy died.
he was the one who attended all of their games, 
all of the open houses, all of the concerts.
it breaks my heart to think that if i don't go, there 
would be no one in the bleachers for them.
it's been a rough holiday so far.
i'm hoping it'll get easier.

anyhow.
here's to siblings sticking together!!

*sidenote: eDUBB won the game HOLLA*
