ever have.....

one of these days?



yep - my can of diet coke somehow got punctured and leaked all over my lunch bag.
awesome.

winter times -

this last weekend we were able to go to Jason's family cabin, deep in the woods. the only way to get there this time of year is by snow mobile. it is so fun to go there and spend the whole weekend relaxing and laughing and playing cards and being with the fam.
last year when we went to the cabin we discovered that the furnace had exploded so we didn't have any heat besides what came out of the fireplace or the floor board heaters that ran on electricity. it was so nice this year to have heat and be warm! we could actually wear just a t-shirt and be comfortable. last year - not so much. i think i had every article of clothing on, sitting by the fireplace, drinking hot liquids - and was still cold.


this was our view when we were unloading the cars - SO BEAUTIFUL!

the other family cabin - anyone remember the death march of 2007? yep, this is it. notice how half of the cabin is buried in snow? yep - that's what it was like when we made the death march to it that frightful night.

this is probably where the hubby-bubby went and raced his snow mobile, too - but you'll notice there isn't a picture to go along with it. that's either because he didn't want evidence or he was a good husband and didn't do it. you decide.

good night! well, it only took 5 months to get the all-clear to resume to normal activity on my bumb knee.

our february birthdays -

February is a busy time in our family for birthdays.
keyan, kye, and lori all celebrate their birthdays within a few days of each other.


i made a cake for keyan and kye to decorate together however they wanted.
lori got her own cake cause she requested a lemon one.


and, yes, they went crazy with the sprinkles. you can't see it - but they had written some stuff in white icing - but it quickly got covered up by the sprinkle mania.


looks like lori can't wait to sink her teeth into her cake - look at that growl!


kye didn't get in on the blowing out the candle action until it was too late.

my nieces -

i dedicate this post to my nieces. (unfortunately i don't have any pics of paisley so i can't show you how she is growing) they are some of my favorite people. there's just something about your siblings kids that you can't help but love.


this little one is such a heart breaker. look at that smile!


this one is soon to be a heart breaker for all the boys she knows.


these pajamas that danielle has on - i want a pair, too. they are so soft and fluffy and cuddly.


i know this is a funny pic - but i posted it so you could get an idea of her mo hawk. she has the best hawk ever! and it is totally natural!
and she just learned to crawl - so funny!


this one doesn't have a hawk, thank goodness.



now - i didn't mean to post a pic of her bathing - but look at what her little hand is doing - clinging on for dear life to the sink plug lever thing. she wouldn't let go of it for anything.


yep - there's the hawk again.
oh - and my sweet do from my night's sleep.


now you see - there's her little hand again - holding on for dear life. she was asleep in the cart but when we realized she was awake - her little hand was clinging on.


i saw this on the way to work this morning. i thought it was awesome.
some little kid sure does love his mom. :)

week #17

well, baby, you're getting there.
another week of growing and whatever else you're doing inside the womb.
2 more weeks and we'll get to find out what you are.
alien or human.
i'm leaning towards alien right now.

last night your daddy was telling aunt heidi about you and how he hopes you aren't shy when we go to find out what you are. make your daddy proud and don't be shy that day, o.k.?

good baby.
