here we go.
if this were real life I would make up a ridiculous melody and sing the captions to you.

this girl turned six.

we had a fabulous colorful party. I would show you all the pictures but I know I already did. so I'll save the room for the rest of the unblogged.

Photobucket

saint patricks day=green food and tiny green footprints at our house. the footprints usually stay painted on the window until fall.

ya these delights are totally cute reading together. my responsible little girlie doing her reading homework and being such a sweet sister. but really these ones reminded me of the living room mattress! remember, friends? I think my little sister + cousin has a sleepover or something and we moved this mattress to the living room. and it stayed there for a while to be a jumping nest. and then it lived in the playroom. oh, fun. finally found its home as max's big boy bed. and is still jumped on regularly.

"yours take picture horse, mom"

craft night party time. making bowties.
Photobucket
and these trendy numbers.
Photobucket
then on another occasion forcing our little boys to wear our creations.
Photobucket
the baby shower where we had enormous balloons and the most delicious dessert table ever.
Photobucket
ha ha. taking pictures for our tiny friend to be embarassed by one day.
Photobucket
the results of our baby shower. remember, we opted for this project instead of games. and gabby and her brothers looked colorful throughout the year.

max's comfort thing for a long time was just his bellybutton. it currently has morphed into nipples. his own. either one or two. but I can see that this was about the time period when it began. more future embarrassment.
Photobucket
swimming lessons. I think march is about the time of year I deem not-too-miserably-windy-that-I-can-handle-the-cold-wet-haired-kid-on-the-way-home-afterwards. I should hang it somewhere in our home in vinyl.

Photobucket
fun with leftover baby shower decorations. oh and it was.
Photobucket
car dance party. most likely the incredibly annoying hamster dance.

february 2011

finished the bathroom. hasn't been that clean since.



ate some more breakfast (that picnic table is now turquoise)


100 day at school


cupcakes, of course. because it was february and I have a daughter who loves pink cupcakes.


heart pizza-making playdate


valentine party (that got blogged already)






I took another step towards hippie and started using baking soda + apple cider vinegar as shampoo and conditioner. still do either use that or a sulfate free shampoo. on my kids too.



looks like we took a trip to visit sisters in Laramie. I think Hanna + Livey (aka Juan and Phil) took the place of our daddy.


cute cute student apartment. we slept in the closet :)


freaky robot unicorn from boyfriend seth (now UNCLE seth!)



got ready for an upcoming birthday celebration.


apparently was impressed by these eggs from my aunt's farm.

january 2011

welcome to a photographic (+little bit of wordy) review of our past year.

done in an effort to get our past year's worth of pictures sorted through, organized and a little bit of edited.

honestly don't know if they're been blogged before and not in the mood to check.

the result you will see is not every photo taken and kept, but for sure all the highlights. until I come back and add ipod photos. basically, no promises.

___________________________________

my two children. they were, and are, unbelievably cute. if nothing else, I always have plenty of evidence of that. also the fact that I rearrange furniture like no other.




max's birthday is in january. I think the party involved just us. or maybe in-town family. I made a fancy cake. fondant is gaggy. he was (and is) all about dinosaurs and trains.




party decoration making tutorial. cut and then tie into pom-poms. it'll probably become a pinterest sensation, huh.



lily was (and still is...wow we haven't changed much) fantastically excited by scavenger hunts. so this one involved a series of clues and ingredient gathering. and ended in cookie making.



I took on toilet removal. mosaic tile laying. faucet changing. all matter of plumbing. and I was dang proud of it too.


and my cute kids ate some more breakfast.
