tree hugging bike

THIS is pretty neat!

this bike was left chained into a tree..

 and then the tree grew around it. 

WHOAH!!

man.. trees are never ending cool and fascinating!

hide your tables, hide your chairs

Soooo found acrylic paints in my desk the other day...

that have sat unused for YEARS 

(no seriously.. YEARS!!) 

and somehow I've ended up painting mainly anything that one can paint

 that would otherwise be trash.. 

labelling! love it.
labelling for a bunch of our home growing foods out of old soup cans
now I don't just have a glass jar of white stuff.. I will be fully knowledged that it is 'bathsalts'
and the green beer bottle that looks like I'm a big weed advocate is incorrect... I wrote down the stats for how Aryk thinks the NHL Flames hockey team will be doing. you know.. predictions on goals and assists. 
it looks childish yes. BUT its preventing me from going shopping and finding things to fill up space in the house.. and.. is fun..
the tuna cans on the left are my favorite.. hmm I should have taken more photos to kinda do justice to the beautiful colours.. (stay tuned)

Smooooth moves

Today Aryk made smoothies for breakfast because his mom gave us her impressive blender yesterday! I try mine "ew.. Is there protein powder in this"

Aryk stops mid sip.

Crap! Aryk gave me his smoothie and drank all of mine!!

Sigh.. Now Kristen has no smoothie and has to scrounge for her own breakfast or we are out of fruit.

Silly cute Aryk.

Nosehill

Chinooky outside. Dog walking. Stepped in to much snow then planned for. It's pretty out. But it's always gorgeous on nosehill. Sigh one of my favorite places

Girly attempts

Yep. I've been attempting it. How? Well it's started with me actually sometimes doooooing my hair when I leave the house.
Sometimes.. Not usually. Okay still rarely.. But more often then ever before

But.. When you do.. The do.. Of a up do.. How do you.. See what the back of the do looks like?

I've been doing a taking a picture in the mirror thing.. But that makes me feel vein and awkward and weird and and just so unnatural.. But I can't trust Aryk cause he would tell me it looks nice no matter how it looks..

Next year I join. I want a ribbon

I've decided my community is super awesome so I'll be doing all community activities (which is kinda funny because its A very family community) but today?? Lego competition! My older brother could have kicked all butts! (I'm sure now as well.. But in this story I'm meaning his childhood) but Jeff's castles were way more creative

Plane iPhone pictures

Seriously.. I am always snapping photos

Christmas

Made this. Was so gross..that I haven't tried it. Not do I think I will.

wondering about wandering

Aryk and I drove out to Radium last night, met up with a pal he has been in University with.. and today they got up early and drove off to Golden.
leaving me.. with my iphone camera, my nice camera.. annnnnd.. my polaroid camera!!
aka.. a 1 hour drive to Golden for a regular folk.. was about.. a 4 1/2 hour drive for ME!
I drove super slow because no one was behind me, took my time.. stopped here and there to see if there was anything pretty enough for me to take a picture of.
sooo.. here is some of my photos!

for some reason i can't remember how to turn photos
