Arrivederci 2010!

Resolutions shmesolutions! BAH! I'm proud to say that I only accomplished one of my resolutions for 2010, #3, raawwwrrrr. But 1 out of 5 isn't bad. I think this year I just need to set my sights lower and make easier resolutions.

So without further adieu...I present for your viewing pleasure...

Shmesolutions 2011 Edition

**cue fireworks**

1. Throw my pantaloons at Tom Jones. He's a dreamboat and a half!

2. Perform a citizens arrest on anyone wearing Ed Hardy, Affliction, or Tap Out UNLESS you're an actual MMA fighter...even then, its not ok, but I don't want to be choked out.

3. Write love letters to The Hoff on old In N Out hamburger wrappers until he responds with an autographed photo.

4. Learn how to make the duck bill with Pringles WITHOUT breaking the chips every friggin time. arrgh!!

5. Actually WIN something playing McDonald's Monopoly and not just eat my own body weight in delicious, mouth-watering french fries....nom nom nom...


I think if I can manage to accomplish at least one of those things, then the year 2011 will hold great things for me. I'm staying positive folks! Those are some life altering resolutions right there.

I hope you all have an AMAZING New Year and that 2011 brings nothing but peace, love, happiness, and In N Out fries smothered in ketchup! (That last one was for me)

HAPPY NEW YEAR AMIGOS!!!

Eeenie meenie miney mo...

Decisions, decisions. I can't make up my mind! There are some decisions that are easy to make, Coke or Pepsi? Coke. Chocolate or vanilla? Chocolate. See? Easy!

But others....argh....others have me stressing out for months on end! For example, my living room rug. I can't make up my ever loving mind what kind of rug I want.

Do I want modern rugs? Do I want solid rugs? Do I want bamboo rugs???? I can't decide! Anyone feel like decorating? Where the heck is Nate Berkus when you need him?!

And ANOTHER thing....my hurr. I can't decide what the heck to do with these luscious locks. Long or short? Short or long? I can't take the pressure of deciding!!

My natural hair is curly, super thick, and there is a TON of it. I know everyone always says they have a ton of hair, but, no really...I have a TON of hair. It's a friggin lion's mane. Thank heavens for flat irons!

So here is where I need your help. This is a crappy picture from yesterday giving you an idea of where my hair is at...

{For the record, I was not driving while taking this picture...safety first.}

WHAT DO I DO??!!

Keep it short???

Grow it out???

Shave it???

I need your opinions!

I can't take this kind of pressure!!

And Jordan, my dear sweet husband...don't try to sway the votes on this one.

Happy Thursday Amigos!

We wish you a ....

Merry Christmas....

I'm so thankful to have this time to spend with family and loved ones, treasuring the small moments, the tender embraces, and the abounding love.

I'm so thankful for this time to reflect on the Lord and all he has done in my life.

I'm so thankful to look at my family and know that I have the most amazing gifts that money could never buy!

So thanks Santa, but I'm covered :)

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!!!

xoxo The Cline Familia

U-G-L-Y They ain't got no alibi...

THEY UGLY!

The sweaters, that is, not the folks. But in this house, the uglier the better! And let me tell you, at this years Casa De Cline Ugly Sweater Fiesta 2010, things got down right FUGLY.

{The Hostess with the mostest...come on in!}

{The Santa head was awesome, in a creepy kinda way, but the antlers were MONEY!}

{This gem is straight from the Kmart 2010 Winter Collection. Classy!}

{Ugly never looked so good!}

{I think I found their picture for next year's Christmas card!}

{Even the Merry Ho Ho Ho gang members came to party...}

{Mandatory awkward family photo! Loves it!}


{Forget sexy, they're bringing ugly back...rawr!}

{The sweaters weren't the only ugly thing in this pic! GOO!}

Who knew that some ugly sweaters and some cheesy games could make for such a fun night?? Good food, no kids, awesome friends, no kids, and killer sweaters...AMAZING! Did I mention there were no kids? Yeeaaahhh buddy.

Happy Holidays Amigos! I'm gonna go throw on my ugly sweater and START wrapping presents....yeah I'm a little behind. HUZZAH!

The Cline Familia photo shoot...vogue vogue vogue

I keep waiting and waiting for life to settle down so I can sit my happy arse down on the couch and tend to the important things....like blogging. But no such luck! It seems like every time I get a free 5 minutes someone needs something...cookies for class, ride to a friends, gifts for a party, lunch, a bath, attention...you know, nothing important. So while I've had no time to update you on how I've had no time for anything, I'll tell you what we DID have time for. FAMILY PHOTOS!!

Ughhhhh

Shoot me in the face, I hate having pictures done. Normally you'd have to drag me kicking and screaming BUT this time it was different. You see, one of my best besties started her own photography company and she offered to do our pics. HECK YES! So I gathered the troops, color coordinated their happy arses, threatened them to smile OR ELSE, and got our vogue on.... I LOVE how they turned out...here's a peek at a few of my faves!

{The Cline Familia circa 2010}

{Boogie Oogie oogie wooing the ladies}


{I LOVE the goofy stage...so dang cute!}


{See that twinkle in her eye? Pure mischief!}


{Did you buy tickets? For the gun show!}


{Me and the old ball and chain...}

{Daddy and his baby gurl...love this}

{Quite possibly my favorite photo ever}


{Peace out folks...}

There were so many fun ones to choose from, and for once I didn't look completely constipated! BOOYA! Thanks Courtney for the amazing memories, you rock!

I can't wait to get the last picture blown up to poster size so everyone can see my giant bootay when they walk in my house. Note to self: lay off the junk food.

Happy Wednesday Amigos!

Say CHEESE!

You know the BEST thing about having kids?? That now I get to plaster them all over our Christmas cards instead of having to plaster my mug on it. Because I'll tell you what, I HATE having my picture taken. I'm incapable of making a normal smile. I either end up looking constipated or like I'm about to sneeze, neither of which is a good look for me. And as much as I would LOVE to spread some Yuletide cheer looking like I'm incapable of passing a Yule-log, I think I'll pass.

So now all that's left is for me to decide which picture to use...

Exhibit A: The Classy Cline Children

{They're smiling out of FEAR! SAY CHEESE OR ELSE!}



Exhibit B: The Unleashed Cline Children

{Rawwwrrrr!!! Our feral children looking sharp!}

Decisions, decisions....well I guess anything is better than this:



See?

Having kids IS good for something!


Happy Wednesday Amigos!!

Happy Birthday Little Miss....

2 years.

My baby girl is 2 years old today.


*sob*

She has Daddy wrapped around her little finger...

She has her brothers tricked into adoring her...

She has Mommy convinced she can do no wrong...

Even the dogs love her!

And she's only 2!!

We're in for it.

Happy Birthday Little Miss!

We love you!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go drag The Hubs away from the gun counter.

He's not dealing well with his baby girl growing up....at all.

By the time she's 18 he's going to have a full on arsenal.

You think I'm kidding....I wish I was.

:)
