PICTURES!!!

now i know what you're all thinking - birthday post. but this isn't really one of those. sorry. haha. i'm sure you're all so disappointed that you don't even want to read this one - but i do have something that might be interesting - PICTURES!! who doesn't like pictures? some of these are old... not that old though. i haven't really posted many pictures in the last year, so i thought perhaps now was the time... plus, i will share my fantastic birthday present with you!!

now this one was at grandma b's memorial. tyler and i make appropriate faces at all times, believe me.


this one was later that night in vancouver, when we went to karaoke with megan and tyler's friend colby. it was a good time. again - i make awesome faces.


this is when madelaine, caleb, and gabriel came to stay at my mom's and they did dress up at o'keefe ranch. i know you have already seen my mom's pictures... but... this is my favourite of the ones that i took.


and this was thanksgiving weekend when we were house sitting the pets. rhiannon's kitten is so cute. we took a lot of pictures of her.



this was while camping this summer with brady and suzanne. tyler really likes to take pictures of himself that he hates afterwards and gets mad that i put up anywhere... but... i'm doing it anyway. haha.


this is my latest beautiful addition to my artwork permanently inked on me. its sort of starting to scab right now... but... it still looks beautiful. it is thanks to my wonderful friend jessy.

and this, ladies and gents, is the best birthday gift i think i have ever received (well... i can't remember everything i have ever gotten for my birthday, but it's pretty amazing). i'm so happy that i own this. and i still can't believe it. i came home from vancouver to be surprised with THIS from tyler. my mom and dean and kaetlyn and andrew and tyler's parents all pitched in. it's a fender. it has a built in tuner. it has a pick up. and it is light blue and so classic rockabilly looking. i'm in love with it. i learned how to play 4 chords (i'm trying to play jenny lewis - acid tongue... i got all the chords down, i just have to practice so i can transition fast enough!).

i'll write about my whole birthday weekend and fabric shopping next time...
