- a little revealing

sometimes, having a little brother/photographer live with you is cool. i made him take some pictures of us this morning a la natural. dave has school every morning and leaves the house around the time acorn and b-nut wake up. they love being the first to see each other each day and dave loves delivering the boys to our knocked out nest.
it's our thing.
we turn on pbs, corral the crawler and try as hard as we can to get 5 more minutes of sleep.
and sometimes, when brandon decides to look at me through the messy mass of boy bedhead, i remind him that this is what heaven is going to be like.
i hope.

have i ever introduced ben? he's our other baby. and loves putting brooks in the vice grip.

-happy 39th brandon!!

just kidding. he's only 34 but really, what's the difference?
making this day special for brandon has been the bane of my existence for over 10 years. he hates presents, goes into a diabetic coma with cake and is super sucky at telling me what he wants to do on his big day. however- every year we seem to pull it off and this year's no exception.

friday was his "guys" night which included a bromance movie, a lot of caffeine and gaming (3 out of 3 things i could never give him unless i shared some of my roll pack).

saturday was full of church responsibilities for the both of us so we saved the fun for sunday night. and can i just say, it was the best sunday night of my life. there is nothing better than laying under blankets on the grass with a belly full of swiss cheese and mushroom burger, laughing at stories i would only repeat if i were willing to lose friendships. (your welcome thera and jenna).

take that you damned recession. brandon may not have gotten the gun or other cool shwagg i wanted to buy him but looking up at the stars while telling fart stories and experiences with a sex crazed ghost was FrEE!




he did get one cool present. a tent for me to play with in the backyard with brooks. isn't that how it works?



best buds baby ade and uncle dave.


for legal purposes, i am not allowed to reveal the identity of this extremely flexible man. or the hole in his pants.



thera and brian. my ugliest friends.

-hey it's a good day

my sis inspired me today. for her kids, she loves making the little things seem so special. so today i made an easter garland for my chandelier. it's kinda dorky and outta place in this manly tuscan fortress but i love it. because it makes me think of her.

btw- she told me that i need to start commenting back. i'm sorry i don't. i didn't know the rules and i will be better.

-here's another

-continued from below

looky what i found. (posted below and above because i was having waaaay too hard of a time figuring out how to make the freaking thing PLAY).
per instructions in the tag from my sister, i'm posting the 4th item in my 4th photos folder. before babies, i did a morning show in radio and was hoping to expand a little into television. however, the adventure only went as far as recording 3 promo's for a make believe network with gigantic dallas hair and a bloated 7 month pregnant body. needless to say, watching these reminds me of the blazing hot stage lights and the taste of doritos/barf in the back of my throat.
when the time is right (aka when i lose 20lbs) i may stretch these media wings again and see if i can upgrade to a spot on usa or spike tv. :)

ps- to answer some of your questions:
yes- i was on the edge 103.9's morning ritual
no- i didn't make money
yes- i quit because i wanted to be home with my babies
will i go back?- only if i don't have to wake up at 3:30am, work around egomaniacs, or see rise against in concert again.

-love boy i'm just fine
