Hey there peepssss. so i'm soooo sorry i have not been posting on the blogalog for the past week, i honestly have just been so stressed over really nothing.... haha so today i am painting the family room with my sister and brother. its fun!!! hah i kinda wanna paint my room... like a blue color on two of the walls :) cuz its gonna be Nolan's again eventually so i cant go girls. but i probably wouldn't anyways hah i would get tired of a really girly color. yea. haha. so only one or two walls like in picture 1. but a lighter color like the one in picture 2. :)
while were on the topic of painting, why dont i lead you to some sick links with painting tips yea? :) well lookie here for the basics and then here for trim tips :)
so that's my update for now. nothing cool and exciting in my life. same old!!! see you later gatorzzz

we sing. we dance. and all that jazz.

so remember i said i would try and find time to sing for you? well i did hah, my sister is out getting the girls from school, so i can sing as loud as i want, without fear of waking up the babies, or getting kids screaming in the background of my video.
so im not wearing any makeup, i apologize, but this is what you get. and please no negative comments, thank you :) i hope you enjoy :/

sometimes

sometimes no matter how smart you are, or how well you think you know someone, or whatever qualifications you may have. there will always be atleast one thing that will shock you. and yesterday i discovered something that shocked me. im not going to share it because its slightly personal i suppose. but it really changed things. in a bad way. but i guess if i wanted it to it could be a good thing. i dont know. all i know is it made me a little down. but then today i got heaps and heaps of free chili at a church fundraiser. (chili cook off and desert auction. pretty cute) food seems to be one of those things that creates a high point in my day.
two physical things i could not live without are food and the ability to create music. well the second one isnt really physical but ya.
well. i dont have much to say. other than i tried to film myself singing for you guys today and my camera died in the middle of it so it didnt save. i will try again tomorrow. stay posted if you wanna see that. night.

dance. sing. love.

does surfing youtube and finding amazing new songs constitute a hobby???? haha not to say i dont have a hobby though, if you know me you know i like to do pretty much anything. but more specifically i love to do crafts.

but aaaaanyways!!!! haha i found a cover of a song i didnt know even existed.. and i cant stop pushing repeat.... here she is!!

and since he's kind of amazing here's another....

aaaaannnd another :)

hahaha sorry if you dong appreciate music as much as i do... but today is just one of those music days. where all you do is listen to music. dance like nobody is watching. sing into a hairbrush. use your legs and any other random body part as a drum to keep the beat. and just generally be a fool :)

gotta love those days :)

happy friday the 13th!!!

nice face, where's your living space

haha so this post is completely random and really only here because i thought of a funny title. soooo since its spur of the moment, i think i am just going to post pictures of fantastically good looking men. sound like a plan? yea :) i thought so too :)

Alright so he just might get mad at me for putting him in this post, because he really and truly can find nothing to admire about himself. and when i asked him to find something, he told me it was the fact that he could play pretty much any sport. ok man, thats not bad for your average guy... but i mean really.... take this picture for example. this is the group of kids who are leaving for a week this summer to El Salvador to represent Doctors of Tomorrow 2012.. i know right??? come on man, have a little more faith in yourself. oh, and he is the guy on the left. they are both pretty good looking. but because i know the one on the left, i find him much more handsome.

he doesn't believe me tho.... maybe he will believe you? post a comment if you think hes a pretty handsome fella :)

and that's all for this post!! haha night all!!

playing mommy

Alright guys, i apologize for yesterday and not having a post, the internet wasn't working again and i had to save it as a document on my computer, so here is yesterday's post :)

So today i was officially babysitter as my sister and her hubby went out for her birthday dinner. She stayed for dinner and then was off. I bathed them, made sure they got their teeth brushed, read them stories, read scriptures, sang to them, and put all three of them to bed. Megan said before she left that Nolan would probably be fussy to put to bed. But honestly it was so easy.

I put him in his crib, laid him down and walked out for a sec to make sure the girls were ok, and came back and he was pointing at the baseball cap on the wall. So i picked him up, put it on him and rocked him a bit. So cute. Then i laid him back down in the crib, scratched his back for a minute or two, and stood still to make sure he looked like he was sleepy. He went right to sleep. WIN!! haha he is so cute. He even snuggled with me today!!

i am so happy with the things i am learning and the way i am growing out here. I am really picking up on the mommy ways :) it gets me excited for my distant future. It gets me excited to find someone who loves kids as much as i do. Who loves me as much as i love him. He has proven to be hard to find. But one day :) one day it will just click. Whether we have already met, or we will meet in my adventures out east, or even back west. Im excited :) well ladies and gents, till next time.

aaaaaaaannnd back to the current time. so today i had a tad of a breakdown about work. so i calculated the time it takes me to get to and from work each time to be about four hours on average. and then i added in the amount of money i pay to get to and from work to be about seventeen dollars. so i kinda freaked out and told myself it wasn't worth it, and even though i reeeeally loved my job, i wasn't going to put up with minimum wage. then i thought to myself; 

'who are you to tell yourself to quit??? you have a job, and you love the people. who cares if you don't earn that much money, you came here to experience the downtown life right?? and who cares if you waste hours in transit, read something!!! you have plenty to read, for sure. and besides you love to listen to music on the train anyways. you're fine. stick to it for atleast another month and see how things go. good girl maddie.'

haha yep. those were the jist of my thoughts :) but anyways i have to go to bed, its eleven at night and i open for ten o clock tomorrow. well, love y'all!! stay real :)

eggs. chocolate. and big BIG bubbles.

happy easter weekend everybody!! its cool to be here with megs and the kids this year. this year i got to hide the chocolates instead of find them. and the bonus is i can pretty much eat all of them cuz the kids don't much enjoy candy. (actually that's a lie trista is slightly obsessed with chocolate.. haha i guess every girl has her phase)
so anyways today we celebrated easter, and i took a whole bunch of pictures i figured i should share. they're pretty cute if you ask me :)
(and some are from dying eggs yesterday too :))

they were so excited!!

haha so excited that they dropped an egg not seconds after the first photo was taken ;)

colors!!!

here we go!!

blue

this one turned out peach

waitinggggg....

my attempt at an ombre egg. :) it looks better in person haha

there's the peach one. and i love the color the blue one turned out!!

trick to richer colored eggs = vinegar :)

bubbles!! haha we had small ones, then i decided we needed to grab a hanger and some good pliers and make a huge bubble wand. so i did :) (with difficulty...)

it popped!

she gave it a try

:) here come the bubble pictures :) :) :)
