poladroid....you're gonna wanna download it....magical. :)

its been a while...

a new charge. benny!

something i didn't get to last time is... matt and janelle are getting married. hooray!

sorry, we've been drifting apart. i'll go to therapy. :) i'm still shopping for a new blog. this one really does make me want to punch a cute furry bunny (that just wants world peace) when i put more than one picture on it.....just keepin' it real. :) i have been pretty crazy busy for a while now. especially the last month. this week has been nuts and next week is gonna be pretty coo coo too. it is because of that that i don't really have much to write about or the time to write much. but i wanted to do something. so don't hate something is better than nothing. that's all for now hopefully i will get to this again before another two months.

one of the best nights ever!

here is the big party in out of order pictures. yes, this really happened. :)i do not know what jake is doing here but it looks crazy.i don't know why i even tried to put this in order it very much did not work and makes me want to punch a baby deer.

blurry and night vision but i like that people are shakin' it. :)

the pictures i got are all pretty dark and there are not very many. luckily, i stole some from sarah beth, kaitlyn, and eric. :) night-vision babies. i have no flash on the video camera. big gay jeff minni hotdog totally called me out on not updating this blog so i just had to get on here and try to make her happy. :) the last couple of weeks have been so sweet. my birthday was AMAZING. it was probably one of the best birthdays in the history of birthdays. the only thing that could have made it better is for the rest of my friends and family to be there. maybe that would have been toooooo awesome. that kind of party is probably reserved for heaven. :) everyone was so friggin' sweet to me and went above and beyond what i asked for. i couldn't believe my life the whole day was like a movie or a real awesome dream. no one would ever be lonely if everyone had friends like mine. i'm not trying to brag, that is the truth. believe it.

for starters sam sang happy birthday (almost) every hour for the first part of the day. i thought it was funny. i was really glad that my birthday fell on a saturday for many reasons but one was because of the people we hang out with on saturday mornings. even though sometimes i feel a little awkward its become one of my favorite things to do lately. they sang happy birthday to me too (i'm pretty sure sam started it.) our friends lauren and isaac came in for the weekend. it was good to see them and brother. that was like a birthday party for shark. he's two this month. that's kind of weird to think of. it seems like i've had him forever.

anyway, we had lunch and just hung out bein' awesome friends. :) i went home to shower and get ready. jeff came by and we headed over to the greene's early to help with anything that needed to be helped with. they were already done with the party goods. they had even made a stage for the jolly coffee house. it was so nice. i'm glad we were there early though because it gave us some time to actually hang out before all the people got there. the fergies came by for a bit to say happy birthday so i was pretty stoked about that as well.

before i knew it everyone was there. they all looked lovely in their ugly christmas sweaters. my friends do not disappoint when it comes to the ugly sweater party. the jolly coffee house party of the night was insane. they were so funny. i wish i would have taken more pictures but i didn't want to stop video taping and miss something. i will have to figure out a way to put some videos on here. its just too good to keep to myself. i don't think i have ever seen everyone so hyper at the same time. i wonder if its just because they had gotten hopped up due to the anticipation and the waiting. we had been planning for almost two months. that's a long time for us. :) the songs that everyone did exceeded my expectations. my face was sore by the end of the night from smiling and laughing. and as if that was not enough, after that we all went upstairs to hear the magical christmas cd that everyone made for me. HOLY CRAP!!! it was awesome. probably the best cd ever! it is funny and good. it is another thing i will have to figure out how to share with those of you that weren't there. its ridiculous. it has something like 20 songs on it and they are all wonderful in their own way. i couldn't believe that it actually happened. brendan did sooooooooooooooooooooooo much work on it. i couldn't ever thank him enough for the sweetness he gave me in this gift. i don't know if it would have happened without him. they all did such a friggin' good job. sam even sang on it. i am very proud of him and thankful for that because i know that he doesn't normally do things like that. it means a great deal. matt took time out of workin' to make that money for janelle. :) danny drove from the other side of the ditch several times, plus he wins at singing. :) i could go on forever. matt, danny, mikey,mere-death, al, jacob, janelle, judith, abby-doobie, micah, kathryn, luke and katie fair, the ever-so-wonderful sarah beth, eric, the swan, the little girl, and i'm sure i'm leaving someone out right now but know that i appreciate you too.

i can't believe i made it through the night without balling like a baby. it was crazy. afterwards we went back to the boys house and hung out playing silly games. it was just a beautiful night. it was to the point i started wondering if i was going to get hit by a bus the next day and the Lord was just letting me go out with a bang. haha. well, i'm still alive so He must have just wanted to give me an extra lovely birthday. thank you to everyone, near and far. you are all so wonderful and i am completely blessed by the fact you are in my life. i love you more than i could ever manage to communicate. i have more to go along with this but i'm over this thing for now. so, to be continued...

the best month.

so, sam wins. he has many ninja skills however, i was unaware that one of them was tire ninja. he changed that puppy like the wind. :) i'm pretty spoiled by my dear fellas. i just puke from love when i think about how great my friends are. having andera here makes me happy. she has no idea how thankful i am for her. she is one of the sweetest of babies. :) since she doesn't read this blog we can carry on our usual jerkness to each other. haha.

i've been slacking off with this blog more and more. its really annoying to put more than five pictures on here and then if i put them in the wrong order or accidentally erase one it is a huge pain. i end up spending a long friggin time to write a blog that should just take a few minutes. maybe i'm doing this wrong. feel free to educate me if you know. maybe i just need a different kind of blogger. i'm really out of the loop with this stuff.

that's all i have for now. sorry its not to interesting but i need to get to the work i've been putting off all day. crapballs! i love you guys. merry katie's birthday week to you.

happy birthday week to me!

i got a flat tire! hooray!

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.
