day 356.


jaxon's first Ideal Dairy experience.
he got to choose out his own punch bag, he thought that was pretty cool.

day 347.


Rain Forest Cafe, Ontario CA.
with uncle Ty, Mom, Bev, me, andy & jax.

this was one of the highlights of our vacay. hate to be a downer, but there weren't many.


day 339.





andy made this cute little guy in grade school.



day 321.



yes, this year we got our tree the day BEFORE thanksgiving, but it worked out best that way.

it was hard choosing my photo of the day for this day, i got a lot of fun photos on this day.
but i like this one. it says it all. andy is thigh deep in this beautiful , freezing white stuff, plowing mightily toward what is soon to become our christmas tree! man, this guy is tough. he nearly passed out after he cut down the thing and dragged it by himself across that crazy deep snow. not to mention it was probably like -10 degrees.

but even he says it was worth it.

the sky was SO blue and the air was SO crisp, and it was SO dang peaceful. It was truly a winter wonderland.



day 314.

can you believe i've been doing this for 314 days?! i've never stuck to something this long, i am proud!



guess who wasn't happy about having to clean the poop out of his underwear?



day 312.



does anyone remember lincoln logs? this has been a week of memories for me.

after years and years, i reunited with this childhood pastime when my mom brought a big tub full of them for jax.
I have memories of laying on the living room floor with my Dad and brothers , building houses with different colored roofs, then placing plastic indians around them like they were fighting. We usually did this in the winter, when it got dark early and there was nothing else to do. 

wow, memories!


day 309.




does anyone remember these?
and the craze they caused?
or maybe its just me....

in grades 6-8, gelli rolls were a BIG DEAL.
if you didn't have gelli rolls, you may as well just not even come to school.
i remember searching high and low for them, but they were so hard to find, because i guess they'd be sold out everywhere?

little did i know, that at age 24, i could just waltz into my neighborhood Roberts Craft store, grab a 40% coupon & buy them for about $8 without any trouble or hassle.
i did not have to save  all my money for what seemed to be such expensive but worth it pens.
i did not have to search every store and hopefully find the last pack.
 they were just there. in full stock.


day 285.




this photo is special to me
because
whenever i see those beams of light coming down from the sky like that,
(do you see them?)
I think of my Grandma Gentry.
We were driving back from her funeral and the sky looked somewhat like this.
well, not stormy clouds, but more peaceful clouds with those amazing beams of light shining down like that.

I don't remember if someone in my family said it, or if i was just thinking it, but I thought of those beams of light as heaven opening itself up and welcoming my Grandma.
A lot of peace & calm came to me when i saw that.

I always love to see the sky doing that.
I think, who is heaven opening itself up to today?

(maybe thats cheesy, ok well i'm sure it is, but I DONT CARE!)



day 257.




i made this game when i was suuuuuper young.

so glad i still have these games for jax!
he loves them.



day 226.





gosh DARNIT.
this day i went on a way awesome long beautiful amazing fourwheeler ride with my mish bro, carson, and his comp. friends and our cousin & her bf. 
BUT you wouldn't guess what happened.
 Someone forgot their camera.
It was one of the greatest forms of torture I've endured to date.
There were beautiful sights to see, all to only be remembered in our heads.
sad.

So after the fourwheeler ride, in my gloomy state,
i took this picture of everyone just chillin in the living room (my parents house)

i have no idea what's going on at this exact moment. its fun to try to guess though.

day 120.



not the best photo,
but i had about 1 second to capture it before it was gone
& mr. stinky would be eating his icecream.
kids don't wait for pictures.
especially when it involves icecream.

he was more excited about "the icecream truck"
than the actual icecream.
ha.
