profile pictures

so you know those cute profile picture shadow things that some people hang on their wall of their whole family?

well, i want them.

i want them on the walls of my cute house-trailer.

some like hers (Nie Nie)

i took some profile pictures with my camera. (dot was sleeping at the time so i need to do hers asap.)

now i'm at a stand still. what do i do next? should i just go to the library and rent out a projector? any tips? any ideas?
As for my house-trailer...we are re-doing things here and there. I need to post some pictures of that once we are all "done." (note: we will never be "done"...hopefully we will be moved out before it is "done" to my liking.)

On that note: i dream of house plans. french doors. white cabinets. wooden island with a restaurant metal top. a mud room painted yellow with a cute picnic bench with a million coat and hat racks. wooden floors. new washer and dryers (ones that don't shake the whole house). crown molding and white, thick baseboards. Dining area with my white table and a cute runner going across it. a fireplace. glass tile backsplash. grass. flowerbeds. garden...

seriously...it's quite sickening how long the list goes on and on.

BUT, quite frankly...I would love to have a house. Question though: Do we build the house that's in my mind? Or do we get one that's "ok" and just make it work? Do we buy a fixer-up-er and try to sell it in a few years (like 5 or so)?


Ok, so insert thoughts about:

1. Profile picture shadow things.

and 2. House ideas.

wanna see something cool...

Trace was throwing Dot up in the air tonight. Brody decided that he wanted a turn. I think he flew a little higher than he had intended for.

brody, brody

Brody is my red-headed boy (incase you didn't know).

Everytime you mention his read hair he says "Grandma wants me to go with her to the hair place so the lady can get the color right."

Yesterday as we were taking a Sunday stroll over to fam's house to get some peanut butter brownies he said, "I'm so freaking cold." (Not that I'm happy he said "freaking"...it just makes me realize I probably should cut back on that word...and coke...not that they have any correlation.)
Every morning when he makes his bed he does it JUST like this:This morning while eating a breakfast burrito that I so carefully prepared he said that he wanted candy instead. I told him that if he didn't have room for the burrito, then he wouldn't have room for the candy. He looked down at his plate and moved the burrito off to the side and said, "now I have room, duh mom."

When he is around the is never a dull moment around, he was born a sarcastic, fun, and crazy entertainer....for example:


He thinks he's Iron Man. He even makes the awesome robotic movement noises.

He says beautiful, awesome, precious, and adorable to describe things...such as Dotti.

As I got out of the car from church yesterday he said, "Don't forget my drawing, old lady." (At first I thought he was saying that his drawing was of an old lady...but upon observation of the drawing it was a spider, butterfly, and bird...no sight of an old lady. Therefore, I am almost 100% he was talking to ME!) punk-face.

He got dressed up in his cowboy clothes before my mom got here. I asked him why and he said, "tause Nanna loves me as a towboy."

He is really good at the quiet game...which is one of my favorite things, cause he pretty much talks non-stop from the time he wakes up.

And I sure do love him long time. He is the raddest 3 year old boy I know.
