THIS happened!

BOOM! so there i was minding my own business when mere-death catches my attention. i thought she was trying to get someone else's at first. that's HOW cool i am. haha. i follow her and alison to the other room and they tell me they have made me a birthday present early. i love this idea. presents...yes, please. for me...yes. early....yes again. i was most definitely not prepared for what the sisters clark had in store for me. i put my hand in the bag and pulled out this piece of magic....
and at closer view you can see that my face has been added along with florida matt and brendan's. it is complete with working christmas lights and the ....

SPIRIT OF BOB DOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sally, the spirit of bob dole!)

i almost peed, pooped, and threw up all at the same time. it is probably one of the best presents i've ever gotten. i knew exactly where it had to go. so when i got home i put it on the piano where it has been happily living ever since. don't be jealous. you can come visit anytime. :)

that is really it for the most part. its hard to get better than that. :)

bella and i had a lovely afternoon. this picture makes shark look like the biggest dog in the world. i love how he loves bella.

we made bracelets and we are awesome. no big deal. ;)

but seriously, i'm friggin' crazy excited for my party in less than three weeks! i'm hoping that the outofstate friends that told me they can't come are just messing with me and then they are gonna surprise me. it'll happen....right?! :) i've talked with benjamin, matty, jane, and emily and i'm pretty sure they are coming so i'm already peeing in my pants. now if i could just get minnihotdog and cj. ;) (minni, all i have to say is that baby is gonna go to sleep and then you can leave those kids with dustin and fly here and be back monday. just a thought. :D ) the florida babies are working on making my birthday present...a cd of them singing christmas music!!! i will prolly pass out. i'm really glad i got bossy this year. it seems to be working out. haha. well, even if it doesn't i had fun dreaming it up.

a lot has happened in a week

last week was pretty full...first off, this jerk is back. :) i did NOT miss her... haha. having one of my family members here is always wonderful but also a bit bitter sweet for me too. it makes me think of everyone else and times when we were all in the same place. don't get me wrong, i love where i am and my family here in florida. i just wish that my whole family could live together. its weird that some of you don't know others of you. i just want you all to get to know one another and how friggin sweet you all are. but i guess i will have to wait....maybe my birthday. ;) because i'm totally a grown-up. :)

this is (of course) out of order. i did the new calendar and several of you beautiful babies are on it so i took pictures to show you. here's the whole burrito. halloween. we had a very short notice and short-lived party at my house complete with a fire pit in the backyard. for those that don't know this is the swan (benjamin swanson) and sam (hating me with his eyes) two of my favorite boys. my sweet baby kathryn. she was a fairy princess despite the fact she looks kinda scary here due to night vision on the camera. this is the fire. and looks a little like a picture in a very strange fairy tale book. judah chicken. this kid is seriously one of the cutest kids i have ever met...and i've met a lot of kids. my fake daughter christina being a pirate and little ash-hole. there was a lot of cross-dressing going on this halloween. this is annie and eddie as each other. abby-dooby as someone that was in a fight. you can't really see her face well cus this picture super sucks but her make-up was very good. eric...is a friggin genius. terminator nixon. jenny and nick. these masks really troubled me. a poor picture of babies havin a good time. florida matt and janelle as the parents. they did great and stayed in character most of the time they were there. night vision again. but judah still looks cute. haha. kathryn. booyah. fridays with bella. always a good time. mere-death's birthday got the november birthdays started.

so, there's last week. i've been slow to get this post up. mostly just from slacking off. :) i've already got somthing else in the works so hopefully it won't take me a week to get it together. i hope you are all well and happy birthday to some of my most favorite people EVER. love, love, love.
