the ladies

just a couple random shots of the girlies.

jordan and i did a "photo shoot" on saturday afternoon {both loved it}

and jess and her beloved trixie.

and don't forget josie and trixie- although i must say trix is never too happy when joey has a hold of her.

she of course would rather be in her mother's arms {referring to jess of course}.

happy up coming week to you and yours.

photography

i've been such a bad blogger lately.

sorry.

between working around this dump, em' i mean house,

taking pictures,

trying to hang with the ladies on spring break,

and feeding my spray painting addiction-

i haven't had the time to blog about anything {really}.

so today i got sucked in by the computer and playing with some editing

and this is all i have to show for it.

sorry.

hope this can tide you over until i become a better blogger.

will you forgive me?

thanks.

over and out, must now get showered, so i can get some work done around this dump, i mean house.

happy saturday~

thought for the day......

enough said!

just a few

so obviously we've been super duper busy around these parts.

so much so that i haven't taken a single picture of anything pertaining to me or my family.

{how sad is that?}

so this last saturday i shot my first wedding.

i left feeling pretty confident. and the feeling continued even once i uploaded them to the computer.

beings i feel as though i am cheating all my faithful followers with no post, i thought i would share some from the wedding.

these of course have no bride or groom or wedding important stuff to them, just a couple of the details from the day.

it was beautiful, both the wedding and the day.

enjoy.

i promise to get back to work here soon.

as i type this i can hear the concrete truck backing up and dumping "mud" in the driveway. hurray~

happy thursday to you.

fear not

fear not my faithful followers-

for i am not:
dead
broken
gone
forgetful
ungrateful

i am just super duper busy.

between mass destruction at the house

and editing picture i took at a wedding on saturday.

i've hardly had time to do anything fun;

i lie, {the photo editing is fun}

so, i promise my friends in bloggerland that i will be back soon with an edge of your seat post.

promise!

chuck, you're a JERK!

this is what i came home to today.. i was gone only a couple of hours......

and this is how i found chuck not two minutes later after letting him in. must be exhausting destroying one's pet bed.

i know, at first you thought it snowed here in hermiston, but then you thought to yourself wait, it's the middle of march and it's only in one specific spot, so maybe... not.

ha fooled you~ it's styrofoam from the pooches previous pet bed. notice how i use the word previous. as in past tense. before, as in no longer.

i seriously think chuck has some some hidden opposable thumbs. this thing was zippered closed. magic i tell you!

at any rate, i wasn't real happy about his gift and now the best part is, the jokes on him. no more outside, warm, cozy, fleece lined, cushioned pet bed for you. you tore it up, silly!

i say chuck is a jerk- to be honest this is not the first word that popped into my mind when i saw this and decided to post the mass destruction he left in his wake.

but it's a public blog and i gotta keep it at least pg 13!

and let's not tell trixie what a ding bat she is.

after all her nose is like two inches from his exhaust pipe. i've smelt the fumes that come from this vehicle, there not good folks!

so if you happen to see chuck, tell him what you think of him. maybe some shame will do him good.

my addiction 101

i see all these really cool things with numbers on them, so i made my own. i used the #5 due to the fact that there are 5 of us!

and the "g" well that's obviously our last name initial-

okay, so my name is shara and i have a slight addition to spray paint!

there, i said it- {admitting it's the first step, right?}

ha ha ha ha

yesterday i was stuck in the house all day because our concrete was being poured, so i went to the ole' crap {i mean craft} closet to find some goodies.

you see i store items i would love to do something with and when inspiration moves me i head downstairs to said closet and "shop".

then i break out my trusty "magic in a can" and DO WORK!

jordan cleaned her room the other day and was going to throw out these here bowling pins. the junky side of me said "no way" and stole them from her garbage pile. i then tucked them safely away in my crap closet for a rainy day.

well, i was surfing some blogs yesterday and felt inspired to do a little crafting.

this my friends is the end result.

some spray paint and some vinyl and presto changeo- cool vintage bowling pins with character.

hope you enjoy them and they in turn inspire you to do something "crafty".

happy wednesday~

for today i wish you~

happy tuesday to you and yours.

may you enjoy the beauty and the simplicity of this day~

a day without my joey can make one weak~

just a couple randoms of josie-i can hardly believe in a couple of months my little one will be 5. how is this possible? seriously?

it breaks my heart...

enough said!

update to the chaos at the casa~

view from the driveway looking east

sidewalk view

new and improved porch. complete with arches and semi finished pillars

where there once was really cool {ha} red sculpted bricks, will now be exposed rock borders


so as one can see we are living very dangerously, again.

i am about one shovelful of dirt away from a nervous breakdown, seriously!

since our new concrete froze and wasn't level, we had to have it removed and since you're there, you might as well dig up and destroy the yard some more, right?

we decided to add some steps leading up to our new and improved {via my honey} porch and then add some exposed rock borders along the edges of the driveway and sidewalk.

this will mean that now, we {and when i say we, i mean i} will have to redo and re landscape the flowerbed that is now left.

i am excited, overwhelmed, sore, nervous, undecided, unsure, confident and impatient about all of these changes happening to our yard.

keep your fingers crossed that i don't have a nervous breakdown before completion~

i'll keep ya up to date on all the happenings as they happen {cause you really have nothing better to do with your time then to check back to this here blog, wondering what is going to happen next}. it's okay, i understand- you, like me have a life :)!
