Pictures

Here are some pictures of the tattoo process.

I love you Erin. Thanks for coming and listening to me talk inappropriately with Nic. :)
However, you are a crappy phone photographer. :)
LOVE YOU!!












Nic is good. He did my foot.
He is a nice guy. Funny.
Not gonna lie, a bit intimidating at first.
But I realized that if I am the first to throw out an inappropriate, off color comment....that tends to make the mood soften.
Ya know. Mellow out.

Tell me who is intimidating after they are told that it is ok if they touch my boob.
Ok. Condition.
It has to be an accident.

Intimidation.....gone.

See, I told you.
Inappropriate.

Those who love and know me well would not, if fact, DO NOT expect anything less.

Things are changing kids.
I can feel it.
Some notice it.
I notice it.
I talk to myself about it.

I laugh more.
I smile more.
I tend to be more outgoing.
I am more confidant.
I try new things.

I dig it.
I dig it alot.

Wanna see my family?
As in my parents, brothers and sisters?

Here are my parents....sorry ma and pa, I had to post this one.



Oldest Sister Monika.....isnt she hot?


Monika's son Noah with my brother Erik.


Sister Kristin.....nuther hottie....



This is where I come in. 3rd kid.
The reason the rest of them exist. No lie. Ask my mom....when she wakes up. :)

Brother Erik with his wife Jana and two kids Kannon and Nakaia.

Anna and Baby Bella


Brother Matt and his wife Alisa.


Sister Erin and Girlfriend Midge


Doesnt my family rock?
I mean, ok, so most of you have not met them, but just look at them. They rock!
Which leads me to continue to wonder....where the hell did I come from?
Not that I dont rock.
But look how hawt they all are.
I got robbed.

Seriously, WTF?

Oh well, I am the funniest.
I will still be funny when I am old and wrinkly and beauty has fallen to the floor like cigarette ashes, and swept under the moldy ole rug.

So there.

Hi!

Its freakin cold out there!! My Gosh!
Tye spent most of the day plowing the neighborhoods driveways.
He is funny.
We have a Polaris Ranger. (Ok, it really is his)
He put the shovel on it and went to town today.
All the neighbors came out and thanked him, then asked him to do the next neighbor.
Then he went to another neighborhood, across from Antelope Drive. He wanted to go plow our friends, Mike and Jen, driveway.
I dig him.
Alot.

He just got back from a C-R-A-Z-Y buffalo hunt.
Yep, buffalo.
He was gone for about 10 days.
Grace and I went up there last weekend.
We really had a great time.
While we were there, Tye had his brother Yale, his buddies Brian, Mike, Herb and Jerry there as well.
For a half a second, I thought "I am not sure that I want to hang out with all the dudes".
Duh!
HELLO?
Truth is, I have always hung out with the dudes better than the chics.
Thats not to say that I dont have girlfriends that I consider sisters.
Just, as a whole, I do the dude thing better.


Brian and Yale


Brian, Tye and Yale


Brian, Mike, Yale and Tye


I am lucky though. Cuz I love all of Tye's friends. Serious. I know women who are disgusted by and HATE their husbands friends.
I really do love them. I have a friendship with about 95% of them outside of the friendship that they have with Tye. Really, his friends are our family. Especially these guys.
I think that is groovy.
So this last weekend was nothing but fun.
Turnin up the Ipod in the RV and dancin, sitting by the fire playing STUPID games **wink at Brian** (Still fun), sittin in the tent while Yale and Tye jam on their guitars, then going out to look for the buffalo.
Really, I cherish these times, and I am so thankful that I get to have them. And specifically this weekend, that I got to have the time with Brian, Mike, Yale and Tye. (And Jerry and Herb, but they didnt stay long).


So, for years, Tye has been a pretty serious hunter. He is so freakin smart about it. People come to him constantly about hunting. Whether it is about where to hunt, how to hunt or when to hunt (and everything in between). He knows his stuff. Anyway, I have never gone hunting with him. I really am not interested in killing something. But I have no judgement about anyone else hunting. Plus, we eat everything he hunts.
In the 12 years that we have been together, I have never ever ever ever shot a bow. That is until last Saturday.
I picked up Graces bow (which is adjusted to a 7 year old) and just started trying to figure it out.
Now, it isnt brain surgery.
Hell, it isnt even Oral Surgery. But still, it isnt like you pick it up and you are just good at it.....well, unless you're me. :)
I played for about 3 hours straight while listening to Pink Floyd and Aerosmith.
It was good.

When Tye got back that night from glassing (and whatever else), once I got past my furry, I let him know that he gets to buy his wife a bow.

The next day, he adjusted Graces bow so my draw was alot further, and he set it to a higher poundage. (I am just pulling this lingo out, I have no idea if what I am saying is right or not)
Since my draw was alot farther than Graces, I needed to use longer arrows.
Thanks Brian.
He let me use his arrows.
I am not sure how far I shot from. But really, I kicked it!
No lie.
It totally turned Tye on.
Hell, I was turned on.

So, my point.
Shooting a bow is fun. And I didnt know that I would like it or be somewhat decent at it.
I cant wait to go shoot it again.
Really.
I think about it numerous times daily.
Like right now.
I am totally thinking about it this second.

So when Grace and I left, we left in a hurry. Snow was coming, and it was coming soon.
Tye and the boys had to pack up camp and move down lower. So I packed up and left in a hurry.
And we still got stuck in Price.
I was pretty pissed.
Not that I could have done anything about it. But I was still pissed.
I told Tye that it was BS that I didnt have a vehicle with 4 wheel drive.
This is the only time since we have been married that I have not had it.
Before I had a Cherokee, and before that I had a truck.
So, I warned him that by the time that he gets home from the hunt (Which was about 6 days later) I would have purchased a new vehicle. One with 4 wheel drive.
So guess what I did.
I bought a 2007 4 door Jeep Wrangler Unlimited X.
Yep.
I am STOKED!!!
I bought it out of Arizona. So I dont have it yet. But I should have it by the end of the week.
I am so stinkin excited.

Anywhoooo....last night I got a tattoo.
Number 4.





I LOVE IT!! Its for Grace. She loves dragonflies.
I was so stoked when this one happened. I am pretty sure no one else has this on their body.
Then I found another one that I will be getting. It represents the love between a mother and her daughter.

Seriously awesome.

Funny Grace:
Today we were making gingerbread men to hang on our tree.
Well....I burned the last batch.
She looked in the oven before I could get to them and said, "Hey mom, you burned the little bastards...."
WHAT?
She looks at me like she is in trouble.....and says "I was going to say that I didnt think that was a bad word, since dad says it....but dad says alot of bad words. So its bad huh?"
My reply: "Bad enough that it shouldnt come out of the mouth of a 7 year old."
My stern/suprised looked didnt hang around long. It was too funny.

Later Skater
