the boy...

and his poor snaggle tooth. oh well we still love him.

two little boys...

watching the brady bunch. dylan was over at his friend james' house for his birthday, and sarah (james mom) couldn't get them to look at her because they were watching MARSHA BRADY!!!
hahaha... what silly little boys.

self portraits...

are for the most part hideous... but i love that you can tweak photos and make them less blah. here is me playing with the macro and some other crap in photo shoppee!

challenge...

so my friend callie had a thing on her blog that said something about choosing a word that is you. here is what she had written on her blog:

"Can you identify a single word that sums up what you want for yourself in 2009? It can be something tangible or intangible. It could be a thought or a feeling or an emotion. It can be singular or plural. The key is to find something that has personal meaning for you. This is not your mother's word or your spouse's word or your child's word - this is YOUR word.

One little word can have big meaning in your life if you allow yourself to be open to the possibilities. And here's one thing that is totally interesting: sometimes a word will pop into your brain and it will not make any sense to you right now. Give it some time. Let it percolate a bit. I have often found that our hearts speak to us in very unique ways. Maybe this is a word you need to hear but just aren't ready for it yet. Again, be open to the possibilities."

and the first one that came to mind for me was
FINISH

i always have a million projects going and most sit until dust appears and i dont even know what i was doing. i also have been getting more and more into being healthier and physically fit, so this year i am going to attempt a half ironman triathlon in Burley Idaho. My goal is to finish!
there are so many things that i want to do and i need to just do them until i finish...

now that is my...

SAVE HANDMADE...

unfortunately some legislation has been passed that will make the selling of handmade toys illegal come february. this would be a travesty as the bill was meant to protect our children from toxins that have been found in toys produced in china and other places. please take a minute to support handmade items and check this website out. please pass this information on to others, we need to take a stand and save handmade
