Best Use of Permission to leave Ada County so far! And yes I'm keeping track...cuz there was the zero times..and now..the one. Srsly!

Since I didn't have a ticker or anything (cuz I don't know how) I bet you had NO idea I went to Bakersfield, California for not quite fourth of July!!!  Oh and since Eclipse opened while we were there we were like...wtfreak, let's go see it? 
Obviously...Landee was the MOST excited....

Thank the goodnesses I always carry wetnaps in my purse/diaper bag.  For others.  Helpy ekwals me.

Here we all are just like...right on, what's playing?  K guess we'll get in line...

Um....I need to figure out the settings on my camera cuz..well...anyway.

Our seats were freakin awesome!

View of the screen:

And my pictures of our real reason for gathering in Bako turned out craptacular so I ganked this copy off of Jespys bloggie.

UNCLE VISOR AND AUNT VISOR!!!!!  Heart them to the NTH.  And I'm not just sayin that just because they can read this.  swear.

Aunt Visor with the cutest chubbers I have ever laid eyes on IRL in for...since my babies were babies:

And in case you wanna see how we are JUST LIKE YOU:

See?  You could prolly pull this off too. 

In our "down time" aka the 20 minutes between eating ginorm meals at awes restaurants and shopping and seeing ..a movie a couple times.. we were chillaxin with YOU!!!!

Jespy takes this WWF thing soooo seriously making real words nstuff!  Landee doesn't.  Obviously.

Watching crazy bangs excersizeaholic lady AND playing WWF in the BIG BED!!!!

There was much comparing/coveting/getting new iCovers going on btw.  And somehow S-Rod ended up with a girl one...by choice. 

We also payed a lil visit to the DOLLAR STORE to get "liars dice kits".  Cuz THIS is super way fun:

Obviously I was taking the pic so I'm not in it.  And S-Rod had gone to bed.  Cuz he has a job and crap.  I toyed with the idea of putting nametags on these girlers so you wouldn't be confused...but...yeah.

Nachos.

On our way back we barely weren't killed twice and had time to go to PAWN STARS!!!!

And then it was back to reality............where NOONE HAD TAKEN THIS POOR SWEET GIRL TO SEE THE MOVIE YET!!!!

I should call CPS.  It had been almost a WEEK since it came out and she has read all the books!!!!  Check out the lamerz cups tho....thank goodness I had brought mine back from Bako:

If I was trying to get an a word. for the best stepmom ever I'd give it to her.  But a words are overrated.

Oh my goodness...I'm so CITED!!!!

MOCKINGJAY: The Final Hunger Games book (or so they'll have us bleeve)

Unboredness is easy even if you don't have a job, srsly!

So my daughter is freakin smart.  Like you'd think she was ugly she's so smart.  But she's super pritty tho.  So here's the thing.. there had to be some kind of lines in the beforelife.. like you had to decide.. do you wanna be super smart and rich and responsible cuz of the smartsness or do you want to be sorta dingbatty but rilly super pritty and have lots of fun and like glitter and get funner frenz but be not very rich but you don't care..cuz your frenz rawk and yer so super cute?   Cuz I mean if there was a line where you could have it ALL...what's the dealio?  Anyway.  So she's like all of it.. I'm just sayin.  She must have shoved some kids outta her line er sumpthin.

Her solo lasted the whole freakin song.

p.s. before you are all "waaa waaa ur camera sux get a new fancy billion dollar one for scrapbooking u bad mom"  These are grabs from VIDEO people.. so shutty.

That's right.  I make DVDs of her performances and add titles and music to the menues and put lots of fancy transitions in there and make collage covers and labels and put them in real DVD cases.  Who is the bad Mom now?  Yeah......ats what I thought.

But so it doesn't end there with her talential downpour.  She plays the clarinet too !!!!!

And she's like that one person that plays the note first during warmup and then the whole rest of the band has to tune to her sustained note.  So basically it's her fault if they are all flat.  But it makes her the bosslady I think.

If you knew her when she was a toddler you'd know why I think her feeties all pointed in are adorable in this pic.  If not... well it's not like it took you an hour to look at one photo but thanks for indulging me or whatever.

That's just a cool lookin instrument.

RodTodd almost got fired from teaching for leaving early to come see this/be my ride/take our picture cuz we were doing a bad bad job of self portraits even with the dual LCD thingie...but it was toadally worth it.  For me anyways.  Nampa is a long walk you gize!

Anyway so that isn't the only thing that's been totally unboring.  I've been making super cute stuff for people too.

My friend had painted her daughters room in all kinds of polka dots to match a comforter she got..that she ended up hating.  The comforter that is..not the walls.  So she and I ..and RodTodd...went to JoAnn's aka my happy place...and picked out all these fun fabrics to make this girlpowerpalooza for her new full size big girl bed!

How cutefun would that be with a tulle bedskirt?  Way cutefun that's how cutefun.

Anyway so then she came and took it cuz she's mean and forced me to make a crazyfun comforter for my sewing room.  This is my genius plan so far.

Subtle.  And super grown-up.  You can bet your sweet bumcheeks I'm going to have a tulle bedskirt.  Or something resembling the bottom of Landees wedding dress anyway.

Oh and at the Quilting Guild meeting Mom and I won DOORPRIZES you gize!

 

So then all-a-sudden our cousin decided we had to hurry and get one of our blocks done for the cuzzin/aunt/uncle jack block exchange so that she can take ONE of all of our blocks and make a quilt for Gramma to be done in TIME for the reoon.  It's times like this I think.... you DO realize most of these girlers and Uncle Jack are ACTIVE mo-mos...right?  Early....cha-right!

But anyway.  The theme was..  make an 8 1/2 inch block out of reds, whites, blues or golds and any combination of those... any method..like pieced/color crayoned/appliqued...er whatever.  So this is mine.

I can't wait to see how all of the blocks look together.  Does our fam know how to get crazee or what?

Oh yeah.

p.s. update plz

*******OH SNAP!!! FACE! I FORGOT TO ADD MY FAVRITT PIC OF SISSY_BUG ******

Pritty!

My Cutes-as-a-buttonz MARATHON MAN!!!! (Coach Pete didn't stand a chance)

Guess who beat Coach Pete?  GUESS GUESS!!!!! 

Note that he only got Kellen Moore's signature.  p.s. there were lots more football playerz there.... I ..well...whatevs I guess.  I mean look how happy/proud/goofy he looks..all walkin in like "notice anything diffrint?"

I made him take the camera (which he didn't want to take because he was totally sure it would slow down his worlds record time or something) so that we could all share in the awesomeness that is the Scholorship fund run where everyday Besties can go together and beat the undefeated guy.

BUSTER BRONCO!!!!!  It took them 3 times to get a good pic.  Buster kept blinkin.  Notice the smiles...the general good hygiene look they have here.... yeah.

PUT US IN COACH!

Coach Pete and the Cheerios gettin everyone juiced!  SURE you can beat me!  I even said on the news last night I wasn't even gonna TRY to win!  (RodTodd still doesn't believe he wasn't trying to win..srsly)

Even tho..Coach Pete was standing...like this...to double high five peeps...right before the finish line..congratulating them on beating him.  Legit.

Note the sweatiness and more forced smilingness.  And Coach Pete still just a high fivin away lookin  like he didn't even get winded.

And of course... a pic of RodTodd gettin Kellen Moore's siggy on his MAJOR AWARD shirt.  P.S. RodTodd wouldn't take it off and wore it to the Ps on Sunday to chillax/eat all thier good Sunday food/talk scrapbooking/quilting/The Masters.  The Home Freakin Teachers came by.... the lesson of the month was booooring btw.  ur wax is showing fyi.  Anyway the super Rood adulter HT was all "What is a Coach Pete?"  What.  Evs.

OH YEAH!!!!  And RodTodds adorable kiddies didn't forget my birthday week/month/year!

They gave me "UP!", a bucket of popcorn and some movie sized mini Butterfingers!  YAY!!!  Oh yeah and for Nates 8th birthday we got him these:

Which has led to hours and hours and days and days of THIS

I cannot recommend this learning toy enough.  They have made radios, motion detectors, doorbells... there are like 300 projects and the circuits all snap together.. no soldering.. but teaches them about lecktricity nstuff!!!!! 

Anyway.  Life is Good.  :)  p.s. new post plz.

BESTEST BIRTHDAY EVAH!!!!!!! Freelz.

Talk about the PERFECTEST day you gize!  Holy my spoiled bratpan!

First thing in the AM I got a call from Sky-Dawgg/G wishing me a happy birthday.  We talked lots of smack and then he said he had to call his Dad.  I always forget he has the same birthday as me.  And I love that G always calls me first.  I win.

Then the outdoor clothes part kickoff was at like 1pm (cuz you girlerz respeck my need for not being bugged in the morning...which is prezzie in and of itself)

RED ROBINNED by Eekareek/Sara, Hotpants/Amy, TwoThumbsUp/Winnie and the infamous MP/Katie!!!!!  p.s. Winnie is even more adorable in person.  Try to imagine it.  After you read the rest of this stuff.

(we will get to the monetary prezzies they gave me in a little bit.  But trust me.  They are awesome.  DON'T SCROLL you jerkface!)

Then RodTodd took me and the Ps to dessert at TTCF!!!!

I don't know if you can tell..but by this point...I wanted to projectile barfers.

My Mom gave me the sweetest card.  Cept the part where she gave RT all the credit for my being way more awesome this year than in years previous.  Whatevs.  He did burn my house down tho.  And fire me.

So then guess who came by with MORE PREZZIESSS?????

My widdlest tiniest babies!!!! 

So I took this opportunity to bother them a lot and take headshots for Gramma.

jaykay.  But it's kinda funny.. here's the rill one

I begged him to let me put his hurr did in a pony like Casey James but he said "who?" and "no"

And what the gorgeous is going on here?

reeeedickyouliss.

So then..RT took me to the happiest place on earth.. HOBBY LOBBY!!!  And let me pick out some shiney stuff for the plant shelves.  The 4 foot glass jar that we then went to Winco and filled with bulk bubblegum balls is my fave fyi.

So then..now this is where it gets good.  For RodTodd.  I got out my prezzies from the lunch bunch.  First I tried to seduce him with just the lengerie and lipstick

He said... "uh..what the?  no."

So but what he didn't know is they also gave me Equate brand lube (cuz you know..old ladies need that stuff and Amy said Equate brand is her fayvrit)

and condoms.... (that part I don't get but I think Sara just wanted to be dirty cuz that's how she roles)

He still wasn't totally in to it.  Said something was missing.  I know, WTfreak, right?  Little did he know..they gave me the dealsealerz....

The SCRUNCHIE!!!!!!

He was done for.  And I know you are all hot and bothered now too.  It's not your fault.  It's the power of the scrunch.

But I think we all know this is how I will be wearing them to fancy places like places where you pay AFTER you eat.

Between all this spoiling and the outpouring of love after I threatened peeps on Facebook...the lovepacked texts...the emails with cartoony cards..the stripper.... this was by far my favritt birthday ever so far!!!!!  Oh wait. I got another prezzie too... brb.

kback.

I'm guessing she couldn't bend her pointer finger down cuz of that thingie on it.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!!!!!

p.s. totally unrelated.  When you get in someones car I KNOW it's rude to say "your car smells like hamsters"..k..but if when you get in someones car and it smells like hamsters and they say "btw does my car smell like hamsters?" what is the polite thing to say?  I said no and breathed thru my mouth but I'm second guessing what Donny and Marie would have done.  plzadvize.
