making me happy

I found these pictures from a few months ago and they made me laugh. We found this wig at my mom's, hunter grace ( our yellow lab) also tried it on and i must say she looked stunning! Eli loved it, Ezra hated it.

thank you

i decided to delete my pain killler, hormone induced post because it was bumming me out... thank you all for the kind words and support, i really really needed to feel the love.

Pirate Addie

Welcome to the family Addie Rose! To truly be a member of this messed up ( but fun!) family, one must receive a pirate blanket. You see every thanksgiving my dear granny has a pirate party... We did this way before all this hype about pirates. Anyways our family has a bit of a pirate obsession, anything and everything pirate goes. All the babies even have numerous pirate get ups. Being the pirate and crafty nerd that i am, I am always on the lookout for cute fabric and other crafty pirate swag. Well I have had my eye out for this lovely Michael Miller fabric for some time but have not seen it anywhere, lucky me some fabric store in bountiful had a whole bunch of it. Hooray- matching blankets for Eli and Addie, our newest pirates!

Halloween

Ezra was a chicken. We were a little worried because up until right before trick or treating he refused to try on or wear any of his costumes. Then all of a sudden he thought the chicken was cool ( probably the red high tops helped a bit). He kept running around going pretending to fly and going " Bach Bach". Eli was a punk rocker, we were going to paint his face like a misfit but his face is to cute to ruin with paint. Ezra loved running up to everybodies door, then he would put his head down and act shy when they gave him candy, then he would drag his bucket on the ground with his head down until we moved onto the next house. It was so weird but funny. We had alot of fun.

case of the blahs

Like Sarah Silverman, I have had a case of the blahs lately. But unlike Sarah I chose to cut my hair rather than get an aids test to make me feel better ( if you haven't seen it her show it is pretty funny but really naughty). It was the longest it has been in a really long time... I think that I really like it, it definitely is healthier than it was 10 inches ago. Thankfully my children still recognize me as their mom. Ezra is making a silly face for you.

new rug

I have desperately looking for a rug that wasn't boring. I found one I loved at tai pan but they ended up being gone. Then I discovered flor. I don' think that I have ever been so in love with something other than my family and disneyland! I think I love that it looks like fabric and isn't boring like other rugs. Thanks to my wonderful mom and hubby it is mine...the only crappy thing is that it won't be here until november 15th-ish. oh well... that will give me time to paint everything to match right?

Ezra and the kitty...

We have become cat people against our will. I never in a million years thought that i would feel the need to take care of a cat. I am what you call a "dog person"... I am a loyal dog fan and not the greatest lover of cats ( as my in laws have come to learn) Well when we bought our home we inherited a black kitty that the previous owners had been feeding. I felt bad for the poor thing and decided that we should continue feeding her so that she wouldn't die. When we first moved in the cat wouldn't let anyone touch her, now the frequent scene out my window is Ezra carrying her upside down or by her neck... and she still wants to play with him and snuggle up to him!
My mom thinks it's really funny to say things like " now that you are a cat owner..." or " what is your cat's name?" Ugh- That damn cat has even suckered me into making a bed for her that she won't freeze to death this winter. By the way her name is sal.


For the record we are not cat owners... we just feed a stray cat, let her sleep on our porch and play with our children.
