thankful.

just realized that a blog I read is a cousin of my dearest and most missed darling dear friend from college that tragically passed away a week after I got married years ago. and I miss her. a lot. she had a wonderful little family and then she was gone. and then I felt so thankful for what I have. that I have my boys, my life. even then little naughty things my boys do. have to say I secretly laugh about them. my Grae was today in nursery. but when I saw him after all I could do was look at those long eye lashes and blond perfect curls and just die. when daddy and I got in the car we both just rolled. guess Grae is going to be a sunbeam with us a little early. and Jax looked so handsome in his orange churchie shirt. Nasch with his red curls. and my baby boy Rydie, who claps and claps in singing time. oh, and best of all-Daddy. my handsome Daddy that lets all our little sunbeams sit on his lap and touch his scratchy face. and then he looks at me. feels like a million lights are on me. never ever change a thing.

and more.

more disney.

lots of pretties at disney. couldn't help myself to taking a million picts for the boys rooms and memory books. disney is just so magical.

disney picts.

some at least. haven't finished editing them with my new photoshop book. the picts are just priceless. and the boys had a magical, fantastic time. so fun to go with aunties and uncles and ya-yas, and cousins.

just look at my boy. he just loved it all. well, except disney characters. wouldn't get within 10 feet. wierd.

mini judie in his mickey ears. look at those chub cheekers. to die for.

missing.

missing my dancing days. thinking alot about it lately.

busy.

busy doesn't cover it at our house. so stuff goes on the back burner. so busy just keeping my three minis productive and the minimini happy. summer as I remember it didn't see to be that much work. between the soccer and tball and golf, tennis, and swim lessons we have made 4 superhero capes, 3 batman masks, thrifted, finished a dress order, filled vintage polite orders, made a boat-load of lists, went to disneyland, and filled our summer with reunions, hunting, holidays and playdates. can't wait for the heat now. here's a couple of happenings.

so blogland is going crazy over pinterest. and so am I. the more I look the more I want to see. and whoever came up with the idea-brilliant. if you haven't been there yet, run don't walk.

and the mavs won last night. ahh. hope they win it all. and isn't the man-child lebrawn amazing? like butter. everyone says daddy looks like dirk. definatly in the hair. when I met him it was longer and curly just like that. yum.

got gutsy and wallpaperd my kitchen. and I liked it. very tedious work, though. and time consuming. told daddy this wall was my guinea pig for the new house. I understand why people hire that sort of stuff out.

and I can't wait to attempt this project in the older boys room, for all their books and knicky-nacks and such. on a slightly smaller scale. I hope to make the shelves a little wider from the wall. see how that all goes.

currently redecorating the boys rooms, just moving things around and painting furniture. that kind of therapy just can't be bought. having a ball sewing, soon to have some new pieces in my wardrobe and new summer clothes for boys. and cousin wrennie-bird, too.
