last friday after school, i took the boys to the pool to play with their friends. yes, the pool in the winter... in the middle of january! it was probably in the high 70's or low 80's.
brybry is like me when i was little. i tagged along ALL THE TIME when my older sister hung out with her friends! [hi sis :) love ya]
so that was friday. saturday, we decided to take a drive to big bear. although it wasn't snowing, it was fun for all of us. the boys don't get to see snow all but 1x a year! and does this even count? it was man-made snow blown out from a snow machine! LOL
this place was better than the place we went to
last year. no scary chairlift!! plus i didn't have to hear whiney boys tell me they're tired from walking up snow hills! let me introduce---the "magic carpet". it's a moving escalator that takes to to the top of the hill! genius, right?
ok ok....brandon doesn't look that happy but daddy is!
bryan was happy. he's holding snow :)
ooops--picture is upside down! who has an iPhone 4s?? when my pictures from my phone are uploaded via iCloud, i cannot edit/rotate my photos. apparently, it's not compatible with windows. grrrrr. i managed to fandangle pictures from my phone by emailing them to myself and then editing them from there. does anyone have any other tips for me for editing iPhone 4 pics?
snowball fight!!
let me tell you having a good, inflated tube with no holes or rips makes for a smoother & faster ride down the hill! see how the blue one is 'puffier' than the yellow?
can you tell brybry was ready to call it a day? he actually wanted to go down one of the smaller hills by himself and he did. at the bottom of the hill, he said, "that.was.AWESOME"!!
fun saturday for us. and we were lucky we didn't choose sunday to go...it rained sunday off & on.
we went here a couple weekends ago, bruxie. it's a gourmet waffle house.
i had the bananas & nutella waffle. YUM!
no crafty cards to share this post but this store front caught my eye. love the pompom garland!
and this cute sign was outside that same store! super fun!
this card is made from some upcycled materials:
the card below was made from rolled text paper from a vintage dictionary.
does anybody ever spend hours looking for that one thing?? i spent 30 minutes last night looking for my gingher pinking shears. i walked away from searching because i was getting frustrated. then i couldn't help myself but to go look again for 20 minutes. sometimes i think that it's right under my nose and i'm looking too hard so i stop looking....go back and look and get frustrated again. here is the moral of this story: put things back where they belong right after you use them!! BTW, i still haven't found them. i need them desperately to finish a project i promised a friend. i might just have to go out & get another pair. [i'll be looking a.g.a.i.n. tomorrow]

i have a card to share today. not much time these days and i don't know where all the hours go during the day! made a cute little valentine's card!
this little guy has been growing like weeds! he is REALLY into scooby doo right now! i remember that cartoon when i was little. ahhh, the cycle continues! he'll be 5 later this month!
have a great day! thanks for stopping by!
another card i made for aunties who sent us a big box of pears for christmas. they were juicy & delicious! just had to make a pear-specific card using cosmo cricket, lawn fawn & hero arts.
this little cake here, we bought for the guys at our favorite sushi place to wish them a merry christmas. we go there every week on wednesdays. the boys both grew up eating there in their carseats! LOL! they treat us real well there and knows all our drinks and our favorite foods there. i think both brandon & bryan have a job there when they can legally work!
since we are talking about sweet treats, here are pictures from last month when we went to extrodinary desserts.
pretty treats
love that color green on that flower
and some pictures of the boys from last month
love the tinsel snowman....so vintagey
did you make any resolutions for the new year? i did. one of them being going to bed earlier! well, it's 2:40am right now and i'm still not sleeping! i suppose my blog title still suits me.
