my insanely adorable nieces and nephews....

so i'm LOVING being an auntie... i think it's pretty much the coolest thing EVER. and, since there isn't a TON to blog about lately, i figured i'd dedicate a post to a few of the photos i've taken of my ridiculously adorable nieces and nephews!! amelia is the oldest, then natalie, then jack, then dave, then asher. (two of jack and asher because i just couldn't decide which one to post! they're both too adorable!)


Amelia


Natalie


Jack (eating his monkey!)


Jack (trying to escape after a diaper change or bath, I can't remember which... SO cute!!)


Baby Dave, staying snuggly in his car seat that matches his big beautiful baby blues!


Baby Asher, dreaming of breastmilk... :)


Baby Asher, with the stuffed snake that Kristen (my sister) made for him... posed by me. :)

evil disney princesses....

**note: this post was inspired by my sister-in-law, Wendy and her hilarious post here!**

As a child, my ultimate goal in life was to be a Disney princess. I just KNEW that I would have attained celestial happiness if I was married to a handsome prince at the ripe old age of 16, could sing, dance, and befriend every adorable animal. I came across these hilarious drawings awhile ago, and they make me laugh every time!! It reminds me that I'll always be that sweet little child at heart..... but my sense of humor sure has changed. :)

Also, these remind me of a little game called "de la Muerte" that Chris and I play whenever we're sitting somewhere especially boring - a concert, a meeting, *cough-church sometimes-cough*, etc. He'll give me a topic: for example, "Vacuum de la Muerte!" And I draw a vacuum of death. :) He'll come up with all sorts of ideas... usually kitchen utensils or appliances... and I'll "muerte" them. :) Someday I'll attach some of my sketches... but for now: the Dark Disney Princesses!!!
