Baby K

My sister Shaina is having a baby. We're all really excited for a new little edition to our family. But Baby K has a heart problem, so he'll need to be in the hospital for a while, and babies in the hospital don't really get to wear clothes... there's just too many tubes , wires and such. Just thinking about Baby K makes me want to hold him and love him, but since I can't, I'll do what I can, which is make him cute things for his hospital stay. Here's a little hat, functional and unique, and I can just picture how cute Baby K will look in it.

My daddy

I know that everyone else is probably of the same opinion, but I know at least 9 other people who totally agree with me, I have the best dad. He's one of those quiet super funny types. When my dad tells a story, the world stops to listen, even if it's just about hitting a deer on the highway. My dad is super smart too, he's an engineer, really good at math, takes awesome pictures, can entertain little kids, is an awesome cook, wakes up really early, shaves everyday (unless he's sick) smells good, jingles when he walks (because of the keys on his belt) has some sweet dance moves, can fix about anything.. holy cow the list goes on and on. I just want to say that I love my dad, he's the best!

Homeward Bound

I wrote a poem to express the way I feel about these little creatures that take up residence in my house. I went with a haiku style of poem, because they normally represent and focus on nature.

Hobo
eight legged creatures
Fast, creepy, gross, dangerous
the Hobo Spider

eight staring eyeballs
venomous heebee jeebies
hiding in corners

Death to the hobos
I don't want them in my house
die.die.die.die.DIE

oh the good times

He's a picture of my little brother Ian and me. We use to hide in cupboards, climb trees, lay on bookshelves, play in the snow.... and basically do all the things little kids like to do. I'm on the bottom shelf, and Ian's on the top... just as a side note, I think that Jayne has my eyes, can you see it maybe just a little... i like to think she maybe looks a little like me, but really she's just the girl version of Darick

Top 10 Reason's Why....

I Love Darick....
A little background to this post...
I met Darick 5 years ago this month, so I thought he deserved a post. We met in a dance class, my very first semester of College. He thought I was a long haired crazy lady (my hair use to touch my butt, it was pretty long, and I would curl it and then pull it halfway back, or wear a headband, and I was swing dancing, so my hair was flying everywhere...) but then I cha cha-ed my way into his heart, and he took my embarrassment about "shaking it" at him as sweet, and instantly fell in love (well, we got married almost 2 years later, and after a pretty funny dating story...) so honey, this is for you!

Reasons I love Darick...
1. He's got some pretty sweet dance moves, or defensive moves, i.e. THE UNSTOPPABLE!
2. He's my best friend (I never get tired of talking to him, we can hang out and do nothing, and we're still entertained! And we both like to do a lot of the same things, we have a lot in common... he's cool, I’m cool, we're cool)
3. We are both from Washington, need I say more?
4. Darick is super cute, he has a cute smile; he's cute when he wakes up and only opens one eye, and he always dresses really cute, am I allowed to say cute to describe my husband? Well I did
5. He's an awesome daddy, when he gets home, it's like I don't even exist in Jayne’s world (unless she gets hurt, or is sad) Jayne loves to play with daddy
6. Darick has some pretty fantastic computer skills, like programming skills, gamer skills, fixing problems skills, just some pretty sweet skills
7. Darick does the dishes, and I hate doing dishes, so this is a definite plus
8. He makes really great breakfasts.... basically any breakfast food, he can make. My personal favorites are crepes and Breakfast burritos
9. He's really supportive of my creative side, every time I make something, he thinks it’s the greatest ever, and I think he's the greatest ever!
10. He's the love of my life, and I get to be with him forever!

Working at the car wash...

Jayne really likes to help. She demands we let her help, it's cute really, and I know she'll grow out if it someday and hate doing the dishes as much as I do:) Darick washed the cars recently, and Jayne was really proud of herself "clean" "pretty" "more water" and "bubbles" were the words she kept repeating. Here's are a few pics of our not so little girl. Is it just me or is she seriously THAT cute?
