Tofu smackdown!!

Someone decided THIS was a good idea.

"Mr. Bacon doesn’t like Monsieur Tofu’s uppity “healthier than thou” attitude, and Monsieur Tofu is offended by Mr. Bacon’s sloppy, greasy lifestyle. Unfortunately, their feud is about to boil over into violence thanks to this Bacon vs. Tofu action set. Each figure comes bendable arms and legs." {Product and description from HERE}


I'd like to shake their hand and hug them. It's pointless. It's useless. And I want it!! NAY! I neeeeeeeed it!! This pretty much summarizes Jordan's and my relationship to the T. Well, maybe not the relationship so much, but if we were food....THIS WOULD BE US! Obviously he'd be the towering slab of bacon (thats what she said.HA!) and I'd be the mustachioed square of tofu...complete with monocle! They're GLORIOUS! But then again....my judgment may be impaired...it is 1:30 in the morning.

Have an awesome Monday folks!

ps...remember when you were a kid and you were SO excited for days off from school? uh-huh. remember when you were a parent and you cried because you're kids had the day off from school? yeah........

Strike A Pose....

The Cline Crew....2009

peee ess....by the time you read this i'll be on my way to so-cal (whoop whoop!!) for a little vacay! i hope you all have a wonderful thanksgiving break and i'll be back soon! oh yeah, by the time you read this i'll be going insane because i'm driving with 3 kids...without jordan! he's meeting us there wednesday...if we're all still alive by then!

Time to hang up the ol' skates....

It's a dark dark day in the Cline household...just shoot me now, I've lost the will to go on!! The hubs and I have come to the bleak realization that we would make a horrible figure skating duo. I KNOW!! I was just as shocked as you are! Dreams being shattered- check! Sigh....Well I guess there's always plan B, stay at home mom. It's just such a darn shame to waste such raw natural talent like ours....plus I really think we would look friggin fabulous sporting some rad threads like this:


But...it's just not in the cards for us. Fate can be a cruel hag. Someone should feed Fate a snickers bar and tell her to chill the heck out. Hag.

You're probably wondering how we came to this epiphany. Between you and me, I've always had a secret desire to be an ice skater. I think I watched The Cutting Edge one too many times as a child. Toe pick! Anyone?? Right then. So there we were spending some quality time together watching Modern Family.... FRIGGIN LOVE THIS SHOW...and a scene came on that showed two characters attempting to complete a skating lift and I KNEW we had to try. Right then and there. The moment of truth!!

With Jordan posted up on the opposite side of the room, I took a deep breath and gracefully ran toward him (picture a gazelle) and at the perfect moment...wait for it, WAIT FOR IT..... I leapt....SOARING through the air. And by soaring I mean about a good 3 inches off the ground or so....and landed right smack in the middle of his chest. Well crap.

It turns out that Jordan sucks at lifting. And I kinda suck at jumping...but in my defense jumping is A LOT harder than it looks folks! Have you tried it recently? It's tough, that whole 'getting off the ground' thing. Especially when your partner is over a foot taller than you!! But after several failed attempts and a few knees to the groin we accepted defeat.

It's been a hard day trying to process this newly discovered information. But we'll manage. Come to think of it, we're much too talented to be stifled in the ice rink. Plus I HATE being cold...maybe we should pursue other avenues....like pink pong.

Pumpkin Patch....Round 2

Well, crap. It's Monday already. Just shoot me in the face now...I've lost my will to live...but I'd settle for a nap and a Red Bull. But on the bright side, we had an awesome trip to a REAL pumpkin patch this weekend...not one of those lame-patch of dirt-broken wagon-rotting pumpkins-dumps in the middle of the market parking lot...I'm STILL bitter... This place was LEGIT! We're talking legit, like a ref with a whistle. Straight official! Complete with train rides, apple cider, petting zoo, hay rides, tractors, caramel apples, corn maze, and fields upon fields upon FIELDS of gorgeous pumpkins. The children of the corn (hahaa, get it, corn?) had a blast and we even managed to come home with some pumpkins! VICTORY!! Feast your eyes folks...

{My little train conductor...whoo whoo!}

{Typical male...just wants to play with the machinery}

{Boogie taking his turn at the controls...}

{Watch out ladies...this one's a heart breaker!}
{That's a lot of bacon...oink oink}

{My 3 favorite boys...}

{My rootin' tootin' cowboys...}

{The ladies of the Cline Casa}

{Future heart throb of America...}
{Isn't she a pretty ghoul? haha, get it, ghoul...girl..}
{Boogie bonding with the goats...}
{Bet you didn't know I was the goat whisperer...yup}
{When goats attack!!}

{The Little Miss looking cute as always!}

{Our little pumpkin...}

{Mmm...break me off a piece of that scrumptious specimen...grrr}

But perhaps my favorite picture of the day....the moment that made the entire day worth the trip...was letting the kids wander in fields and fields of this....

Don't you just love moments like this?

A little marital advice...

I'm sure most of you spent the last week hearing about Khloe and Lamar's wedding plans...and if you haven't heard about them, don't worry. You're not missing out. But hearing all the naysayers bash their "loooooove" had me reflecting. Now they've only been dating a month and they tied the knot....Hollywood's up in arms! But shoot, Jordan and I knew we were getting married after a week of dating. Didn't we? I said...DIDN'T WE HONEY??? And we got married less than 2 months after meeting....

Moving on...I got to thinking about keeping the fire and desire burning in a marriage. Keeping the loooove alive. Yeah I said it. Bow chika bow wow...imagine me talking in my Barry White voice....

We try to make sure we have time for us. And with 3 kids that can be a challenge. We go on the date nights and all that stuff...but sometimes date nights just aren't an option. So when we have to stay indoors I have no other choice but to pull out the big guns....

{Ladies, meet the big guns.}

I know. I know. It's unfair of me to use such tactics. If that doesn't scream irresistible I don't know what does! Do I know how to treat my man or what??? Nothing keeps the love alive more than a pair of seeeeexy jammies...meow.

I wonder if I could get Khloe's address? I should send her a pair. No need to thank me Lamar, consider it my gift to you.

A little pick me up...

I should have paid more attention to the warning signs. I should have picked up on the subtle hints.... but I didn't and I was caught off guard and was attacked at full force by the PMS army and all it's rabid soldiers. Uggghhhh... I'm not a graceful PMSer. Quite the opposite actually. I transform into a puffier, slightly more...make that incredibly more...crazed version of myself.

I hate how all my clothes shrink and I'm left to wander the house nekked double fisting corn chips wondering what the heck I'm gonna wear today. I've went with the bath robe today. Safe choice. I find myself drizzling chocolate sauce on my midol and just retaining water by looking at it. Yup, it's gonna be a greeeeeat day.

And don't the kids know by now that asking Mom to do anything will only result in hissing and velociraptor like shrieks??? How dare they ask me for juice!! Apparently they didn't get the memo either. So in attempts to lift my spirits and further refrain from torturing my family I think it's time for another edition of Random Crap That Makes Me Happy! Here goes!

The awesome hypercolor tshirts! Remember these?

I'd sweat to the oldies with this piece of man-meat...

I love seeing old people in looooooove...it's so dang cute...

Celebrity Jeopardy....Suck it Trebek!


The world's best ice cream scooper from Thrifty's

I'm feeling better already! I hope you're all having a fantastic weekend!! And before I go, I just want to remind you that....

I'm feeling frackin' faaaaaabulous!!

Was yesterday a dream? Because seriously it was just too good to be true. I had a dang good time reading all the sweet blog lovin' that was left...you guys ROCK!! A huge thank you to all of you who stopped by, it totally made my day! And a huge HELLO to all the newbies! Just make sure you sign the waiver before reading, releasing me from all liability, thanks.

Not only was yesterday my SITS day, but I got my NEW FRIDGE!! Finally! And it's gooooorgeous! I may or may not have kissed it. I'm just sayin'. But now I might even be able to feed my family! What a mess that whole situation turned out to be. Unfortunately my dear sweet 'Tom' wasn't able to deliver it. I understand, it must be hard for him...now that I've moved on to a new fridge and all. It's just different between us now...but I'm sure he was here in spirit. Goodbye Tom...I'll miss you...and your bubble wrap.

But it doesn't end there folks!! Oh no no no! Guess what I got in the mail?! Let me give you a little background. 3 of my best friends are pregnant right now. I know!! Hussies....But for real, they're all knocked up with little demon offspring of their own! Sucks for them. I mean, it's so exciting, especially because that means I get to go SHOPPING! Whoop whoop! In fact, one of these three mamas-to-be was due TODAY and the little booger decided to bake a little longer (I'm sure she's just overjoyed). She's such a special friend to me and I knew I had to get my baby nephew the PERFECT gift! Luckily for me one of my BEST blog buddies had just the perfect thing! I'm all about personalized gifts. I looooove leaving my own imprint on a gift when I can, so I bribed Kristen into making a special burp cloth set just for Ryder! And they turned out SO DANG CUTE that she even put them on her website!! Look how cute!!!


I was beyond excited to give them to my mama-to-be! Aren't they totally rad?! I LOVE them!! I'm pretty sure they're my new favorite gift! So as a ginormous THANK YOU to my lady love Kristen I decided to give her all the credit where credit is due by pimping her awesome skills out on the ol' blog. Go check out her AMAZING shop...she has the most amazing items that you can get personalized, and not just for baby! Thanks K, mama loves you!! :)

{go check out my lady...i heart her}

On a side note, I've realized that I need to invest in a padded cushion seat. Mmmmmhhmmm. I have a nice ring on my buttocks from spending some quality time on the old commode. I think it's safe to say it's gonna be a loooooooong time before I'm delusional enough to cheat again. I have to say though, that pizza gave me some heavy duty ammo last night. Covered wagons galore!! Poor Jordan. Poor poor Jordan....

Confession time...

I was going to wait before breaking the news to all of you...but I can't take it anymore. The suspense is KILLING me!! For quite some time now there's been 'someone else'. Uh-huh, that's right. A man to be exact. But not just any man...

He's dependable. Understanding. Patient. Good with his hands. He's pretty much amazing...

Don't worry...Jordan knows all about him. He's actually been so reasonable with everything. Jordan even talked to him on the phone the other morning and told him it was okay if he came over in the afternoon. I was so impressed at how well he was handling all of this.

And it's not like this is something new. He's been coming to the house on an off for the last 2 years. He's like part of the family already....you guys are going to LOVE him. Don't worry. I know you will. In fact, I snuck a picture of him so you guys can have a peek!! You ready??

I present...'Tom' (names have been changed to protect identity)
...my geek squad knight in shining armor...
isn't he dreamy?

{la la la love my mustard purse too...}

He really is the best. Plus, he's great with the kids. They just love him, maybe it's because he brings them bubble wrap when he comes over. It all started when our fridge broke for the FIRST time...he showed up, worked his magic and life was never the same. Now after several broken appliances and countless home visits, we've formed quite the bond. He even told me yesterday that he's getting me a NEW FRIDGE!! Something about ours being un-repairable (sure 'Tom'. 'un-repairable'... you tell them whatever you need to) . Who needs jewels and baubles when you can get a NEW FRIDGE?!! Now that is the language of luuuuuuuurrrvvee.


However, I've made the decision that 'Tom' and I must go our separate ways....I'll never forget everything he's done for me. I'll think of him every time I grab an ice cold sugar free Red Bull out of my new fridge...but there's too many people involved...there are others that need him, who depend on him. I can't be selfish any longer....I'm cutting the ties.

Thanks for the memories 'Tom'...and the bubble wrap. Thanks for the bubble wrap.

A little pick me up...

I'm not sure why, but this week has started off with a bah-hum-bug feel to it. Nothing majorly bad has happened, I think it's just a combo of small things all attacking at once. So instead of writing about how 3 1/2 years after getting married I'm officially bummed out that we never had a traditional 'wedding' (just now hit me...long story....different day), I've decided to post things that make me happy!! Because if it's one thing I will not be, it's a Debbie Downer....wah wah wahhh. Without further adieu....I present you with my Random Crap That Makes Me Happy list! BOOYA!

See, aren't you happy now?
