Boys will be boys....

I'm pretty sure we have the funnest neighborhood EVER! were always out riding some sort of "machine" whether it's dirt bikes, little four wheelers or the banshee. Some neighbors might not appreciate our noise but man do we have fun! we just got dish and got rid of direct tv (they are a bunch of pukes) anyways Robby and Curtis decided to try out their invention. Funny thing is, after we were done, Robby came in the house and said " babe! look at my butt!" it was bright red because it got so hot. LOL! next time we'll use it when we go to the dunes. :)

Oh my COUCH!! :)

So Robby and I just got back from Vegas. We always try to go at least once a year....

Robby loves these glasses lol!
My face pretty much sums up our trip and how horrible it was.... I did however win 30 bucks on the nickle machine so I can't complain too bad. just a certain something kinda ruined the whole trip but oh well life goes on right??

ON TO THE BEST!!!

Rob made me this lovely master-piece and I LOVE IT!!! :)

and finally..........

OUR COUCH IS FINISHED!!!

Rob and I had this fabulous idea that we would re-upholster a couch. Ya what were we thinking.... but yes! we did this all by hand and with a staple gun and my horrible sewing skills. sorry it's out of order but the end is what we began with. that awesome 70's fabric. the pics are kinda blurry but it's a chocolat brown.

my attempt and making pillows... not quite done yet, I still have one more side to hand sew.

yay!! all done! :)

this is the only pic I took which i'm sad because I wish I would have done an in-between pic when the couch was nakie. but looks pretty good right??

ANYWAYS.... Hope all is well with everyone and on to the next project! :)

I'll miss.....

MY Grandma

1928-2011

I'll miss going to see you at your house and have you tell me " have you lost weight" even though we both know i'm still the same...

I'll miss talking on the phone with you, even though it was random conversations, and most of the time I would be in mid sentence and you'd say " alright Ki talk to you late bu bye". I will always keep those phone calls in my heart.

I'll miss the times I would tell you that you needed to get some meat on your bones and you'd pat your little belly and say, "if only I could lose some here".

I will miss the times that it was my birthday and you would sing "Happy Birthday" in your cute high pitched vibrato grandma voice. I loved that. Even when I was married you would always make the effort to call and sing to me. I will especially miss getting your cards that always had some sort of flower on the front with a "grandma" type poem inside. Your cards were the best.

I'll miss reminiscing about all the good times we had when we were younger... like the time I asked you what your favorite swear word was while I was eating jello... You told me "shit" and I laughed so hard I choked on the jello and almost threw up. Even when I told you that story a few days before you passed you told me you like to use the word "helly" now because that is what grandma Taylor would say when you were younger.

I'll miss your fingernails. Never in my life did I not see them un-painted for more that 24 hours. you always have them perfectly "grandma" pink. I also loved when you would tickle the back of my arms with them, it always made me feel so loved. Even when you were in the hospital and here I was 22 years old, sitting on your bed as you held my hand and tickled my arm. I miss that greatly.

I could go on and on about how much I'll miss you, I know you are in a much better place and you are free of pain. I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough at getting my babies here. You would always say you hoped you lived long enough to see my children. But now, I know your with them, playing with them how you did with Jason and I. I will always tell them about all of our good times and how amazing of a women you were. Like I said to you before we closed the casket... take good care of my babies for me :) Love you always and forever........ Ki. :)
