Why oh why have I not shown you the Christmas stockings I made... Because I got distracted and still haven't made them yet. ha ha.

See, I got all busy making these crafts for my family
and then.... I simply had to do this photo shoot. No... i was not the photographer. I was the assistant to the camera woman (Erin Summerill) and the costume designer, and baby provider.
So i've been a little busy but I will now get into the stocking business again and finish those dang things.

How low can you go? Well apparently pretty low. I've gone as far as to enter myself to go onto Dr. Oz to find out what's going on with my body. Sad huh? a friend told me they were searching for people with constant fatigue and pain so I said, well... it couldn't hurt to try. This is what i wrote.

"I am a 22 year old wife and mother of 1 but my body treats me like I am a 96 year old bed ridden grandmother. There are days where even walking up the stairs is a challenge, let alone taking care of my 1 year old. I feel so lost in the world with no hope. Even the doctors are stumped on what to do for me. I already suffer from Celiac disease and Osteopenia but this new fatigue and pain have taken over my life. Please help me get it back."

Now that i look back on the moment I feel pretty dumb for even submitting myself. but at the same time, I really hope i get picked. I know i'm the lamest person you all know. That's why I told you guys. Then we can all laugh at my lameness. oh... and here's something else to laugh at.

This is what my son likes to do in his spare time.

A mother couldn't be more proud. HA HA

HERE SHE COMES... MISS AMERICA!


We had a miss america paegent party. it was great. we made crowns and laughed at all the girls and pretended that we didn't wish we were them. although secretly i'm sure we all wish we were. :) i'm afraid Isaiah had a little too much fun watching as you can see in the pic we couldn't stop him from staring at the t.v.


This is my Awesome Crown. I'm a winner!... or something.

Did you have a naughty, or a nice holiday season? Mine was rather nice.

and now, on to a random story.... about 3 months ago this happened to Nick and I.... and it's really funny so i would suggest you continue reading, even if you're not an avid reader.... The night started as any other would. We had just gotten our newborn son Isaiah to finally hit the sack, (at about 12:30a.m.) and were trying to catch up on some house work that easily finds itself left undone when you have a new baby. Just before heading off to bed i realized we had left something important in the car, i can't remember what it was now but it was important back then. Anywho, Nick decided to run out and get it. it's now 1:00 in the morning mind you. He opened the door only to see a young girl sitting on our porch with no shoes on and looking quit nervous. Thinking it was just a friend of Clint's he asked, "oh, you here for Clint?" she shook her head no, and not knowing what to do he got the stuff from the car and came back in the house to tell me the goings on. We decided that even though we would have liked to have slept, we better go invite this stranger inside and see if she needed help. Nick again stepped outside and asked, "Are you okay?" she responded, "not really." to this she was invited in. Turns out she was at an underage drinking party over in Cedar Hills, about 2 miles away. and although she claims to have not been drinking by the rest of the story you'll have to assume no one could have been sober to do this. the cops showed up and she got nervous and ran, along with all of her buddies. As they ran they tried to stay in contact with each other via the phone. Her friend, who was on her phone, said, "they have dogs." well that was the last of it for our dear friend. She took off full speed, with no shoes, no phone, no friends, no nothing and ran all the way to our doorstep, through field after field, after field. And then just sat there as she had no clue where she was or what to do. CRAZY! well we got her a phone, some shoes, and a glass of water. Heck we even offered her a ride to wherever she needed to go. She did get ahold of her friends from the party, who also claim to be sober. and that's the last we ever heard of her, or my shoes. which she promised to return, not like we really believed she would, but still, after all we did for her she could have at least brought my shoes back. oh, well. so that's my crazy story about opeining your door in the middle of the night, and how maybe you shouldn't unless you have an entire collection of shoes you won't feel too bad about loseing. :) Happy Holidays everyone.

Awesome news everyone, Seth and Corin made it. We had a great time. We played our traditional game of Pinnacle, and several others games. We stayed up late laughing and being silly.(note the picture of us attempting to jump) we're kinda lame, but that's why we all get a long so well.





You'll note that Seth has no idea it's time to jump. And Nick looks like a tree is growing out of his head. i look like a Demon and Corin looks like she broke her hand. that's the kind of fun you have when you hang out with us. Silly silly. -i'm glad you finally got to meet Isaiah guys.
