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.

:)

He's 7 and 4 days!!

So this post is about 4 days overdue, but hey, its still technically his birthday month so I think its ok. Last Friday The Dude made it official and turned the big 0-7!! YEAH! How he's made it to 7 is beyond me...

Since the Fam was in town for Thanksgiving we took advantage and had a little co-birthday party since The Little Miss turns the big 0-2 this Thursday! Don't even get me started....I'm in denial that she's growing up. *SOB*

So my dear sweet Mason, I hope you had an amazing 7th birthday.
We love you more than life itself and you make every day worth living.
We are so proud of the amazing young man you are becoming
and can't wait to see what the next year brings for you!!
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, Boogie, Sissy, Sang Sang, and Boosa

Excuse me while I go find a tissue so I don't have to wipe my snot face on my sleeve....Here, look at these pictures while I'm gone.

{One cake for 2 kids...50% Dora, 50% Toy Story, 100% DELICIOUS!}



{Coolest Lego case EVER! He was just a wee bit excited...}



{Utensils are for quitters! This girl is in the big leagues.}

{Is there something on my face?}


ps- this is just the beginning of the bday posts for The Little Miss....just wait til you see the party I have planned for her! EPIC!

Gobble Gobble Suckas!

Is anyone else drooling in anticipation for Thursday?? I know I am! I've got my stretchy pants washed and ready for use. I've got my Black Friday ads circled and mapped out. Target. Old Navy. Kohl's. Make way chumps! I am ready to make this Thanksgiving my biznatchel! Huzzah!!

And lucky me, I get to HOST turkey day this year...ALL of the family at my house...whoopity doo. We may end up eating Carl's Jr depending on how things go around here. But there is one major bonus to having family coming over for the holidays....it's TOTALLY lit a fire under my lazy arse for Jordan to get things done around here.

Between painting bedrooms, hanging drapes, re-decorating, and wrangling feral children, its been a CRAZY week. I'm still on a mission to find some awesome barstool and the perfect mirror for Little Miss Presley's room. That's on the to-do list for tomorrow....until then, its off to figure out how the heck I'm gonna cook this bird.

Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Gobble Gobble Amigos!!

Get your dancin' shoes on because its.....

IT'S BERFDAY PARTY TIME!

{Toot Toot! That's my horn....because I designed this. Badarse.}

This last weekend we celebrated The Dude's 7th birthday and it was INTENSE! He wanted a Lego party and a Lego party HE GOT! I didn't clean the house or make dinner for two weeks straight, but I did make some pretty legit party decorations for this kid. Not that any of the kids there cared about how friggin awesome my cupcake toppers were....but I know you all do. RIGHT?? Go on, take a peek at The Dude's fiesta...

{You are now entering the party zone!}

{Because drinking with a Lego straw is soooo much cooler...}

{Yummies and Lego Brick gift bags! The kids LOVED these!}

{My birthday boy...it says so on the banner.}

{Good friends. Good grub. Good times.}

{Totally random, but The Little Miss is SO tall! She's not even 2!}

{Thou shalt eat me! Huzzah!}

{Pure happiness right here :) }

{Nom nom nom...get it Boogie!}

{This smile made it all worth it...}

I wish I had more pics, but my lame camera was being a hag that day. But the kids had an awesome time playing wii, going nuts with insane amounts of Legos, and chowing down. And even though his actual birthday isn't until next week, The Dude told us he had the best birthday EVER! I'll accept my Mother of the Year award now, thankyouverymuch.

Next on the list....The Little Miss' birthday party....IN 2 WEEKS!!! Shoot me now...and pass the glue gun.


ps- if anyone wants to know more about the Lego party just let me know. you can click on the pics to see the decorations more up close. the kids LOVED it and its perfect for any Lego lovers :)

Better late than never!

I know, I know...this post is a wee bit late, but here it is in all of its glory! Halloween was a blast! It was a non-stop weekend of class parties, trunk-or-treats, house parties and trick-or-treating...oh, and pumpkin smashing with toes. Of course it was filled with the traditional Halloween fun like pumpkin carving....

and good times with friends at the Casa De Cline...

and of course there were costumes!!

{Little Miss Presley just monkeyin' around}

{The sugar high force is strong with these two}

{Your balanced breakfast! He's a nice piece of meat...}


and then there's THIS...

All I wanted was a little treat, instead I got a toe-ful of pumpkin. I was brutally assaulted by the heartless fruit (that's right its a fruit). Yeah, that happened. One sprained toe, two crutches, an infection, and a heck of a lot of pain later...Halloween was a friggin' hoot. At least I have boatloads of candy to ease my pain...

But on the bright side, the kids had an absolute blast huffing candy for 3 days straight and they looked absolutely ADORABLE wearing their costumes EVERYWHERE we went. And trust me, they wore them eeeeeverywhere. I'm off to go raid their candy stash....have an awesome weekend amigos!!
