New Cute Books!

Did I ever mention that I got these books? love!

  

 seriously, how cute is this!

 

and this is "an appreciation." beautiful eye candies!!!

yes, I am still kind of obsessed. I just love the style and color combos. 

She totally makes me feel like painting all the time!

xo.

jarom is a cool kid.

hello. I'm back as promised with a post completely dedicated to what Jarom has been up to.  I'm gonna include some stuff from pretty far back because I never posted anything about our holidays!

1. Painting. Jarom finally got to paint something on a larger scale. He has previously done some helmets and a motorcycle but has been really wanting to paint a car or something big like that. When we went to Phoenix he had the opportunity to paint THREE big trucks for his uncle Dave's construction company (Suncor Enterprises Inc.)! He painted them all white and then masked out the logo and actually painted it (that is not vinyl). pretty cool, huh? So if you know anyone that needs something painted...:) let us know!

 

 

  

  

 

2. Driving. We have done a LOT of driving! It's bad when I have a whole photo folder dedicated to driving pics! I include this in what Jarom has been doing because whenever we go anywhere, he drives. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I don't like to drive my boy around!

 

 

3. Holidays. I guess I didn't post about our holidays because everything seems so much the same year to year. This past Thanksgiving we dressed up, which was super fun. Me as an injun, and Jarom as a pilgrim. We were quite the hit at the family dinner table (kids table mind you...and we were the only ones dressed up)! The only other really exciting thing that happened was that we got caught in a really bad snowstorm on dec. 22 or 23...now I don't remember, or maybe I've put up a mental block! It took us 6 hours to make a 4 hour drive because the roads were so covered you couldn't see them! We had to follow a semi going like 40 mph through a mountain pass so we could see where we were going! Plus the heater went out in the Jeep and it was FReeZing! scary!

 

He also went snowboarding on New Year's Eve at Bogus with his brothers and mine. That night we wii-ed it up and lit sparklers in the rain at midnight!

 

 4. Beard-ing. Jarom has had some crazy times this last year with facial hair. Man, that beard got Huge! But I guess we are all supposed to be impressed that he can grow one, right?!! I like him with it because it makes him look his age, but it looks weird-o. I'm not sure what's worse, scratchy-beard-face or scratchy-stubble-face! I remain impartial.

5. Hanging Out. We have just spent a lot of time doing a lot of nothing but hanging out. Jarom has really loved spending time with his family lately. It seems like we've been able to see a little (or a lot) of everyone and that has been really cool for us both. Below pics are Jarom with Bella (our super-cutie niece), Jarom being a super-nerd :) (playing WOW with his brothers) and Jarom with Meee, because that's what he spends most of his time doing! Sorry about the attack of my gigantor teeth!

 

  

  

 

Seriously, Jarom is such a cool kid and I am so grateful for him. I know we're young, but I'm so glad we got married young. It just means we get more time together. He is the most supportive person everr and i la la loves him! besties.

xo. stacy

hello march!

Can you believe it's March already? 3 months into 2010...wow. Well, apparently this year has been a pretty busy one for us because it feels like it's moving so fast. Did I ever mention that Jarom started "college" (again!), he is attending Davis Applied Technology College, in Kayesville (UT) doing their CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) Program. So far I think he enjoys it...although today he locked his keys in his car and I had to bring them to him :) haha, don't tell him I told you. I really haven't said a lot about what Jarom's been up to on here...so I am hoping to dedicate an entire post to his coolness soon. Maybe tomorrow...because I really need to go to bed right now!

xo, goodnight.

 p.s. I am back from Idaho Falls and it is actually kind of warm here in Utah...yay yay yay!

p.p.s. do you like by new blog banner?!?!

say no to winter

I am soooo over winter. Spending a month in Phoenix really put me in the mood for spring. This week I am in Idaho Falls visiting my grandma because she had knee replacement surgery and it is sooo cold and snowing and windy as usual here. It really reinforces how good our decision to leave here was! so in honor of the hope for spring, here are some pretty things...

Absolutely magical, right? I am so ready for sun and picnics and bike rides and kite flying!

xo.

we are paying someone's bill...not ours, though

We have spent practically the entire month of February in a movie theater (Ka-Ching!). And we hardly ever go to the movies! My mom is the queen of going to the movies, she goes like once a week (last week she went three days in a row)! So I am now included in this hobby...or obsession! Movies attended include, but are not limited to: Dear John, The Lightning Thief, Valentine's Day and When in Rome.

I am not attempting to review movies in any way, but man, why does every movie have to be based on a book? Have we no other ideas? Because the books I like are being seriously ruined! Have you guys read the Percy Jackson series? and have you seen the movie? Book=Good, Movie=Lame-O. It's fun anyway, just to see someone else's interpretation of what is in your head, but prepare for disappointment. I seriously suggest that they advertise, "Movie loosely based on the book"...you know? I thought the other movies were cute, if you are into the chick flick thing (and I am) as corny as they are!

Speaking of books...I am open for suggestions if you have any. I really love the teen/kid fiction stuff and am seriously running out of options. I have read all the Percy Jackson (of course), Inkheart series (stupid movie, too), The Mysterious Benedict Society (series), The Hunger Games and Catching Fire (crazyness, can't wait for the next one), Twilight series and The Host, Harry Potters, All Gail Carson Levine, The Graveyard Book(but not Coraline-is it good?) and I'm too tired to think of any more...so some help would be great!

xo.

P.S. I have learned how theaters pay their power bill...$7.00 for a medium stale popcorn, $5.00 for a medium soda...crap man, they bank. That's like a 2500% profit!

productivity is on the rise

Today I was feeling somewhat productive, finally. I have been really inspired lately and I have so many ideas that I guess I have been over-thinking it/them, writing myself a list that is too long to feel that anything on it is obtainable. So I am trying to narrow all of my ideas into a much shorter list, a list of things that I know I can already do. Instead of trying to do everything I think I can do. I always go into stores and talk myself out of things because, "I can make that," and I'm pretty sure I can. But there is only so much time in the day. So...today was a day for cute onesies. Let me know what you think...would you buy one if you saw it in a store? Any cute suggestions? These are just the two I've done recently.

( cute butterflies and anchor, above shots are in progress)

Sorry if the photos are a little yellow, they look ok on my screen (that is waay off in the color dept: dear jarom, i would like a pretty new imac pleeezze) I will re-shoot in natural light when it's not a dumb, dark and rainy day like today. But you get the idea...! Seriously, I love them, it ALMOST makes me want a baby to dress up, but then I remember that babies require a lot more than that :). So maybe I should just get a doll...

 xo.

be mine....?

hope you all have lovely & magical valentine's day!

we are having breakfast for dinner (lovees) and i will be working on some new templates for onesies and such! hopefully i can get something accomplished tomorrow and i will post soon on these cuties before i send them off! (also, getting some schtuff on etsy is becoming a major goal right now!)

and to put you in the mood...:) here are some valentine's pretties that i am loving.
