built

cubs store is being built out right now.  Jessica has been helping us with the design of the store and we are the luckiest.  We were in the dark without her.  It's still in the beginning stages but here it is with it starting to be built out.  

no me likey

I'm addicted to pinterest.  My favorite is when people have folders of me no likeys in there.  Here are some treasures from my sister ang's pinterest. 

breaking the barrier

Cub's sister, bobbi, wrote a song "breaking the barrier" as a spin off to the breaking the barriers video on youtube.  We made a music video out of it last time she was in town.  Cubby makes a guest appearance.

bath time

cousins taking baths.  They are probably going to have creepy cousin crushes on each other when they're older.  It was a photo shoot.  Chelsea and I hung out while our boys played basketball.  We were such perfect little old maids, crafting, hacking, and taking care of our babies.  Polygamy wouldn't be so bad.

storage wars

My favorite new show, storage wars.  People bid on a whole storage unit of junk.  These people make hoarders look like childs play.  They bid like $1,000 on the junk and are happy if they make $500 off of it.  That's not counting all the time the put into it and then time selling all the junk.  It's a guaranteed laugh every time I watch this.  In Deer Valley this year, we got hooked on  it and watched a storage wars marathon till wee hours of the morning with the James family.  I'm finding the season on DVD and bringing it to cocolalla this year.

happy 2012

 Cubby's photo when he was 6.

 Don't be mad daddy, but I decided to hike everest

 I got hungry so I came down for some fresh grass

 Look daddy, I'm your mini me.  I'm never getting older.

 Getting my new years resolution in early.

 Halloween

 I'm gonna take you skydiving like ringlets

 I found love.  Cubby's prom picture.

help me!

This was Cubby's calendar this year.  It was his favorite present of the bunch.  I was laughing the whole time I was making it.  

old postcards

summer please

we made it!

He he he.  Look at my scary red eyes.

Jude and his 'people'.  We danced with them

I went a little crazy with taking some old polaroid film  at Jude's bday bash.  It was a rave.  

paper airplanes & birthdays

Cubby went and picked up this giant hamburger cake for the kids.  Half of it was frosting, the kids were even choking it down.  It sure did look perty though.  It was in competition with my dog/horse/whatever animal cake I made.

I made this little string paper airplane banner in like 10 minutes before the party started.  It was a slam dunk.

Jude's homies

We did it!  We made it to one.  I can't believe this little guy is already one.  It's gone by so fast.  I know that's so cliche to say but it really has.  I was kind of sad when Jude turned one, because I love the baby stage.

Jude's birthday was a slam dunk.  Cub and I were so sick for a week during christmas.  We both caught the "hurricane disease" from Adam and Chelsea.  Whatever they brought back from Thailand, we caught.  It was the plague.  At 6:00 pm on Jude's birthday, we decided to throw him a little bash.  Cub and I think that baby parties are so worthless.  We vowed just to have a little party with me, him, and Jude when he was one.  We invited some family living up the street and 10 minutes later we had a party.   Cousins appeared out of nowhere and we had a dance party with Jude's people.  I whipped up a carrot cake with some cream cheese frosting.  Jude would not stop digging into his treasure.  Next year we're going all out with a pinata and a techno dance party.  Bobbi's family and Chelsea showered him/me with presents.  Slam dunk.

paper snowflakes

Paper snowflakes that took fooorever, but got me and cub into the christmas spirit really fast.  We even listed to christmas music after these got hung up.

The table of randomness.  I have to admit I hate christmas decorations.  It's the bah humbug in me, but I think they are all so ugly and it just adds clutter.  This year I hopped on chelsea's christmas making train and put up some stuff.  We always have all the same decorations because we do our crafts together.

Gotta give those Asian props.  Oragami is so hard.  I tried to look some up for some christmas decoration.  Two hours later I could do a paper airplane and a little fox.

Cubby's gloves that he has are like 10 years old and have holes in every finger.  They look like he found them in the sale section at savers.  These were a big upgrade for the true little scrapper.  I also got cub a snowboard which was a total bust.  Whenever one of us does a grand entrance present, it is always a bust.  He said he likes his scrappy old snowboard and didn't really need a new one.  Ah man.  We pinkie swore to never do grand entrance presents anymore.

the new iphone.  I know I'm kinda spoiled.

I'm not a huge electronic girl.  Cub got this for me and it was kinda a bust.  I was like uh, what is it?  It sat on our kitchen table for 2 weeks, until I finally opened it last night.  It is my favorite present.  It is a speaker that syncs with any of your devices like your phone, computer...and you can even take calls with it.  It's pretty amazing.  Cubby suckered for it at the at&t store when he was getting my iphone.  It was one of those christmas traps but he took the bait.  Sure glad he did.

a cover for my phone

The cookies from Delta on their flights.  Who knew you could buy them at walgreens?  This was a slam dunk next to the calendar.  Cubby loves these.

I got these bird feeders so cub can add them to his hummingbird collection.

He even picked out a scent for me...I love this one.  I admit I would have bought it just for the bottle.

cub got this for me at anthropologie.  You cant go wrong with that place

cub made me this apron.  it's really precious, and now I finally feel like a liget mom.  Getting a apron with your babies picture on it

At the family nativity, jude was the star of the show.
