Allie amazes me sometimes...

She's sitting on the big chair pretending to read daddy's sports illustrated magazine and is singing various nursery rhymes that she can remember as if she's reading them straight out of the magazine she's looking at. It's so cute. She turns the page and starts in on a new story, lol. She has such an imagination! Now she's a monster stomping through the house roaring with her hands up like paws, lol...now she's in the cubbord that's attached to the desk, we haven't got anything in it yet and she can fit snugly in there. She has closed the door and is talking to "merry old soul" apparently. I could just sit here and narrate a day in the life of Allie and it would be pretty entertaining. Actually I sat down and wanted to make a new post and couldn't think of what to write about and just started watching Allie, and thought it was funny, so I wrote that. ;)

Sadie and Shaunie are a sleep on the couch supposedly watching the seattle/san fran game. :) well it's sunday afternoon and we're all just being kinda lazy... I want to see if my mom wants to come with me later and go shopping for some new winter clothes for Allie and maybe a few things for yours truly. Although it's kinda "icky" outside and I'm not jumping around anxiously to go out in the "icky" weather to go shopping, but Allie only has maybe 2 pair of pants that are long enough for her, almost all of her current pants fit still but she's too tall for them now. It's so expensive to buy new clothes every season! but she's not going to stop growing anytime soon. :)

well... hope everyone is enjoying their weekend, and getting some relaxation in! Talk to ya'll (momsville) tomorrow. and the rest of you.. get with the program and at least email me... lol! :) j/k still friends .... (I guess).. hehee.

peace.

hip...hip hop....hiphopanonomous

I love that line from the movie Big Daddy. the food delivery guy can't read and him and the little kid are learning to read together and he can read hippopotamus! then Adam sandler says something to the little kid, and then says " it's not his fault he can't read" lol ya it was funnier when you actually hear it. :( I'm bad at re telling stuff lol!

Anywho.. just babbling cause I'm bored. I'm so excited for halloween! I can't figure out what Allie should be, she of course wants to be one of the princesses, but I think it's just so over done with little girls, I want her to be different and original, but I'm not going to spoil her halloween and make her upset, if she won't get interested in another costume, I'll settle for tinker bell or something a little off from the princesses ;) she liked that costume when we were in WalMart.

I wish I could sew and had a sewing machine, so I could be all martha and make her something really fun, but at last I'm not and I don't so we'll just be boring... lol it will still be fun! :)

Shaun and I will dress up too but we don't know what to be either.. plus there's always the money factor so it's not really in the budget to buy a couple really cool ones for us either. ... so we'll just see what we find.. maybe we'll go to goodwill and see if there's something creative we can make ;0)

I'm excited to get pumpkins and do some fun carvings too! last year I did 3 stencils and it was pretty easy. I'm gonna do some of those again this year. It's also really fun to go pick out the pumpkins, we like to go to a farm and pick em out, it benefits them, and most of the time cause it's Oregon in October you get all muddy, and it's just a big messy fun trip! lol Sometimes we go out to this big farm that a family friend owns that we actually used to work at in the summers sometimes when we were growing up. Any how we'd go out there and they have a huge field of pumpkins and they take you out on a hay ride for free and you go wander through and pick out your punkin's and bring em back to the hey bails you rode in on and they drive you back up to where you pay like maybe a $1 per punkin. And at night they have a HUGE corn maze that on certain dates is "haunted" and they have volunteer kids dress up scary and hide throughout the maze and jump out at you! it's really fun! ;)

ok.. this post it ridiculously long, I'm done now! thanks for reading!

Adios good buddies.

What's wrong with me?

I don't know what is wrong with me but when something hurts my feelings I don't think I feel inside what most people feel inside. I can't imagine if all people felt this horrible this often. One insignificant moment and for next few hours, until I can get my mind off of it I feel like dieing. I just feel like crying, and running away. I don't' know how to control how deeply I feel things, it's always a deep cut no matter what the situation, and I think most people just don't even notice the kind of stuff that I'm agonizing over... I feel cursed or something. I have talked it out with friends and family, and co-workers before, and all I get back is.. "you've just got to get over that, because you'll never learn or grow, or get past it if you don't" well. what happens if I can't get over this? what happens to me? do I just break someday? do I close my self off from people, and live a lonely life? I just don't know. I don't feel normal, and I feel weak. I don't know that I'll ever know what's wrong with me or how to over come it.

random pics...

So... there's a couple here of Allie being cute, she found a flower outside by our house, and I put it in her hair for her, so she started posing for the camera, it was so cute! And there's a couple of the new bead-in-a-bag set we got that I was talking about yesterday, it was only $40 bucks for the comforter, flat sheet, fitted sheet, pillow cases, shams, and a bed skirt. It was like 10pm last night before I got to it, so I just kinda threw it on, and didn't get pics of it with the bed skirt or shams on, or the other side of the reverseable comforter, which is a little more "boy" for Shaun's sake , lol. it's a grid pattern with the same colors as the flower side. ;) and there are a couple pics I found of Allie and Sadie pup when they were both younger ;) I forget how cute Sadie was... aww, why can't they stay that small?

Some pics of our house and the dreaded FLOORS!

Ok...bear with me these are just a couple that kind of show the house. (more the floors than the house) but you can see the living room which is the most furnished room in the house at this point, after taking these pis and looking at them I realized I REALLY need something on the walls, pictures, paintings, decorative painting, anything, something! it looks so bare! I want to do some stenciling on a lot of the walls throughout the whole house, but I'm kind of chicken, I don't want it to look horrible then have to go through painting over everything :( not fun, and NOT cheap. So ya.. I'm still waiting for more inspiration, I might start with Allie's room if I get some money for more paint someday....


you'll see the hall in which we have started on but are at a dead halt for the lack of the right kind of wood to finish repairing it. So as you can see there are gaping holes in the hall and our bedroom floor, we have a tarp on the one in the hall to walk over it, but it's getting really old, I just want it done. I may have to turn MARTHA and do it my self who knows.


okie dokie.. now for the pictures................

Better pic of our fire pit :)

I grabbed this pic off of my brother's blog http://www.drueck.net/ cause it looks so much prettier! This was at night after we'd finished and wanted to actually have a fire in it the one and only fire we did the whole weekend cause we were working on it the whole time.

there's just something about camp fires I love...

Camping Sept. 2007

SO! I finally got some pics on Shaun's lap top, and we got our internet set up this weekend, and it has still taken me until sunday night to try and get at least one post up! :) So this is the most recent event you've missed for lack of pictures...

I didn't have a lot of chance to get pictures while chasing Allie and Sadie all over creation the whole weekend, but there are a few of us at the river, and of the fire pit that was originally designed and put down by my grandpa who passed away quite a while ago, but his passions and traditions live on strong in our family. We wanted to redo the pit because a lot of the rocks and split and slid out of place, and it just didn't look the same anymore. We worked hard to re do it to what we hope is as close to how grandpa did it originally. All of us have always enjoyed how it looked over the years and wanted to keep it as much the same as possible. My husband Shaun, and my brother did most of the work but dug in a few rocks too! :)

We had a great weekend and will definately go again as soon as we can!

This is the finished product, my brothers pictures of it were better.

We did fajita's for one of the dinners, it was yummy!

We caught Shaun smiling while grilling, so he now has to cook from here on out, lol.
