babysitter

the high price of free babysitting?

just kidding we just take halloween seriously around here and i firmly believe holidays should be celebrated all month long

other things i learned while babysitting:

• McDonalds is bad for you (say what??)
• the force is real because you can use it to make your line in disneyland go faster then the one next to you
• i'mgoing to be a really cool mom (albeit this was told during a trip to yogurtland on the way home from the dentist)
• it's actually really cool that i get to live with grandma and grandpa and have access to all the best toys all the time (word)
• a day can be the best day ever when you see a truck pull out of the gas station with the pump still attached in the car and drive off with it then come return it...simple pleasures

all the way to grandmothers house

i am obsessed with capes...cant stop ebay oogling them...if i dont find a good one this fall/winter my heart will break...but being as american apparel has one i am sure they will be everywhere...which is not enough to keep me from loving-wanting one...also i got scared to post this ...you know the feeling you dont want to share until you get yours first? oh well tis the season?

good thing i already have that hat for this outfit...im set.. but your not allowed to buy this one cuz i have my heart set on it ...like friendships will end ...jk?

of course ms. moss does it best



ok not a cape just obsessed with her hair...

hands free

i made this during sunday school...i'm amazing...or its just an amazing phone app on mark's phone...either way busy hands make for a quiet mouth on me... you should probably click on it so its bigger(better)...do you know how long it would take to draw that?? ( a real long time) thank you phone app for making me an artistic genius...thank you mark for always providing me with "quiet books" during church

st. who?

all day long at work people tell me to do whatever i think with their makeup...
it's a lie...they know exactly how they want their makeup to look...
so teen being the teendream she is, let me take my stress out on her face (not quite as de-stressing as taking it out on a boys face...but much more productive...just joshing mom) she didn't even bat an eye when she saw me dipping black for lips, red and purple for eyes or mixing bronze shimmers with lotions and applying liberally to the whole face...or even question smudging her mascara under her eyes in utter wrecklessness..k maybe she questioned that one...

the funny thing is its such crummy lighting you cant really tell what the makeup looks like...but she's so pretty and her hair color is new and all...im just putting pretty things out into the world...you're welcome world

thanks for being such a good canvas teen

ps. i know how to do normal makeup also...just a disclaimer

is this a test?

to see if i can ever get enough olsons? cuz nope...sure i will take a younger almost as identical and equally well adorned olson...i'm not asking to be besties with them...just gimme five minutes to raid their closet anything i can carry style...or three in the jewelry section...

usually my girl crushes are around same age or older...but i dont mind being the cougar in this one ...its just a fling anyways...

paper or plastic

so for britts bridesmaids gifts she gave each "maid" a flower for her hair...i was in charge of packaging....
tags for the flowers...
say what you will about embossing...my love for it is as strong as it was in 1994...and yes i still have the dryer thing for it


i thought it would be a cute picture to hang all these from my window beam to take a picture...which is probably true..about as true as the fact i have the worlds worst balance and then proceeded to fall knocking over my beloved grass (to em's literal delight...such an earth hater) getting dirt all over my carpet like in the adds they have where they are always throwing dirt and wine on everything...oh and managing to smack my head on my bed, knee on my dresser, and shoulder on a laundry basket...

so then i just took a picture of a pile of them. i had all the burlap and felt flowers from when darci and i had a burlap felt obsession....a pretty big obsession i might add

ace high

this is real behind but awhile ago beckie was kind enough to take me on a weekend getaway....we went to palm springs and stayed at the ace hotel....i am obsessed with it...and still kicking myself for not bringing a good camera

it's decorated kinda like a guy version of anthro meets swim club/summer camp in the seventies...

and all the food is healthy yummy organic (and for beckie free range) goodness...which is important since my vacations (life) revolve around food pretty much

and they serve all the water in these and for some reason i was obsessed with it and plan on doing it in my own house...i practically overdosed on water just so i could refill my glass

and you get the worlds coziest robes (don't even start me on the bed...we were like stripping it of sheets to find out what kind it was...literally) i wore mine the minute we walked in the door and slept in it...for some reason beckies was a normal robe normal but mine was a hobbit one

and being as i love anything 80 year olds love we had to go to bingo night

where we were serenaded by this gem of a lady

all in all perfect getaway...thanks becks!

coming to earth day

julie i am so glad you were born and that we came to earth at the same time...i wanted to take a picture with you on your birthday but you and i haven't seen eachother in way too long so i didn't know what to do...then i remembered you made me a shirt with your face on it

then i remembered lots of reasons i love you *

• i love that you make people shirts with your face on it...and that you wear one too
• i love that you wore heelies for the majority of our early twenties
• i love that you married one of my favorite guy friends so i can be best friends with both of you for life
• i love your guns and roses tattoo you got when you were fifteen by a guy named mush
• i love that everykind of clothes look good on you (ex:tucked in shirts)
• i love that you are the only person i trust to belay me when we rock climb even though you are half my size and i love that you are better at rock climbing then 97% of boys ( i haven't met the other three percent im just assuming they have to be out there...i just haven't gotten here yet so haven't run into them)
• i love that we all took surveys about aliens and abductions from students for no reason at byu idaho
• i love that my mom says you are the most creative person she knows (i do not love that)
• i that you can do better butterfly knife tricks then any boy we have met
• i love that you wrote inmates on death row and have two boxes full of serial killer books that i could only make it halfway through before getting scared every boy i met wanted to murder me
• i love that you are a master at every creative hobby invented (and that when ours overlap you tell me how good mine is even though yours are always better)
• i love that you made fun of people who thought their dogs were like humans and now you do too
• i love all your best fantasy novel recommendations (still love the mistborn series)
• i love that you say prayers for me
• i love that people think we are sisters
• i love that my best friends are your sisters

*this list is in no particular order and is not limited to.
