just call me martha....

sorry i haven't posted in a while. i've been waiting to get these pics taken so i could have some fun stuff to show.

first of all i want to say one thing to all of those who live in the state of Utah: IF YOU ARE GOING TO LIVE HERE - LEARN TO DRIVE IN THE SNOW YOU MORONS!
sorry. i am just fed up with people who are lame while driving in the snow. i passed a lady this morning that had rear-ended a school bus. seriously?

so. this last weekend isaac and i babysat brigette's kids overnight. it was fun to hang out with them. they are always good for a few laughs.
saturday we hauled coal for my mom. if you ever need a warm fire - that's where you should go.
then that night we went home and i FINALLY got a chance (and the desire) to sew curtains for our bare windows. we're lucky enough to have our bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs so people can't see in but there's a lot of sunlight in the morning. so now - we have curtains to block out some of the light. isaac went to the fabric store with me a couple of weeks ago and helped pick out the material. he did a FANTASIC job at picking some rockin' patterns.


this is in our spare bedroom. i really like this one


this is in our bathroom. just a cute little drape for the tiny window


this is in our kitchen. if you notice, those are chickens on there. awesome - i know. and in case you're wondering - the red strips are actually pieces of ribbon so i can tie up the curtain when i want to see out into the backyard.
i'd also like to call your attention to the black cord that is going across the top of the window. yes, that is a cable cord which my husband strung through the family room, through the kitchen, out the door, around the corner of the house, and who knows where else. if / when you come to visit me at my home - i will show you the infamous cord.

now, moving on to other things. the following are pics of my new bowling ball. i was lucky enough to get this ball and have the holes drilled to my specifications. i can't wait to bowl with it. i'm trying to talk isaac into getting one, too, so we can become a daring duo on the lanes.





if you click on this pic and enlarge it - you'll notice that i even got to have a name engraved on it. i chose "Wuh-wuh". this is a childhood nickname that the neighbor boy gave me as a child and it has stuck over the years. troy and zane love this nickname.

o.k. that's all for today folks.
