new jeans

it's offical. i'm excited. never had this happen before. two nights ago i went christmas/birthday shopping with my good friend Amy and we tried on pants. I was pretty excited because i was trying on a size 6, normally i'm an 8, and they fit! however, i came out of the dressing room and the lady working said i need a size smaller. I was like wha?? you smoking crack?? i'm in a SIZE 6! but, i was flattered and told her sure, why not appease the worker bee? all while thinking yeah right, they're not going to fit. BUT, to my ever most delight they did!!!! haven't ever been a size 4 that i can remember!! well atleast in my teenage/adult life. and they fit great!! not even that tight!!! oh man, it's FINALLY paying off. thank you Tony and Jillian.

santa baby...

So this is our 10th "santa photo shoot" that the darling family has had. Every year for Christams, Steve's mom always wants a picture of us with Santa. Hence this being our 10th. Steve and I are finally getting used to santa, however we both used to look like vera as well, back in the day. well, mostly steve. This was Veras first picture with a real santa, last year we slacked and found a fake statue and croweded around him. This is Vincents first time not crying on a real santa so props to him. He was deathly affraid though, but knew he had to be brave. Earlier, right before we left our house, Vincent was so excited that he shouted how happy he was to see Santa because he was his "best friend". I said, "oh really? you guys hang out a lot then?" and says "yeah, of course. we're best friends" Little does he know how true that really is:)

thought this was funny. Lets just shove a candy cane in it and see if that shuts her up. as she got off santas lap, while still crying gigantic tears, she still managed to turn around and wave bye to santa. too funny

so with my new feathers.....

I saw these cool feather earings (once again, at holiday homemade) so i bought a few. but looking at them i thought, dang, why did i spend $18 on each pair, (there were some that were $40 ea)when i think i could make these. mind you, they are not NEARLY as cool looking or fancy looking as the others. and im NOT a jeweler so this was new to me with all the wire and rings a crap, but overall i think they turned out cool.

my new love

feather hair extentions! brilliant! I saw these last weekend at the fancy tiger show and found a lady there that did them and told me she'd show me how. She was amazing! she totally showed me how to do it, all the tricks so now i'm a little addicted. i just bought more feathers yesturday. now i just need a few more supplies and i'm ready. By the way, incase your wondering, you can wash, dry, curl, straighten, brush, etc with these in. You just treat it like your normal hair. new. love.
they last about 3 months, but the feathers should last a long time, all reusable

the birds

so recently my neighborhoods gone to the birds. literally. everytime i look out the window there is atleast one house, if not more, completely covered in pigeons. it's like a house cookie with pigeon frosting. too wierd. but this movie forever comes to mind when i look out that window. i'm just waiting, as i believe they are too.
i took this a few days ago. But this morning however, this house along with the house next door were both COMPLETELY covered. i'm scared.
