Walking!

Kirin is finally walking! 14 1/2 months old, my latest walker. If I were him I probably would have waited too. He's constantly being knocked down. He is so proud of himself when he does it! His face is huge with a smile as he does it. It's very bittersweet for me. From here the time flies. I'm scared to close my eyes at night, it feels like by morning they will be 7, go to school, giving me hugs and kisses won't be priority, have opinions on what they are going to wear, and give me sass! None of that is what I want, as awesome as it is to see Fallon become his own person and have a sense of humor and be a funny kind boy I want to be selfish and keep them small forever!

Still living in chaos of construction. Hopefully getting tile tomorrow for our master bathroom. I'm loosing steam and interest in all of the renovations and we still have so much more to go. I hope this is the last house we live in! Or the next one is complete with all the things we want! I'm working very hard on getting rid of things I can't stand the clutter and there seems to be no place to put anything and we aren't even unpacked all the way! I hope I find the energy tomorrow to unpack some of the garage and paint! Wish me luck!

Having a husband.

Having a husband is probably one of the most challenging jobs I have to do. In the nicest way that can possibly be said(depending on when I'm talking about him). This morning he takes Fallon to school and my phone rings and he's dropped Fallon off at school but now he's out of gas! And he's screaming at me!! Because his car is blocking 2 lanes on a 4 lane busy road! School is only a 7 minute wall from our house so a 2 mins drive. So I tell him to get out and push his car and walk home and get the gas can. Well my husband is out of his mind(he's an artist so he can only think one way and the one way is the only way/right way in his head) he tells me to wake up the other boys and get them dressed and come bring him a gas can because he doesn't want to leave his car unattended(the car that doesn't run because its out if gas- pretty sure no ones going to steal it there buddy) so I get the kids up and get him the gas can and of course it wasn't enough gas so we had to go to the gas station and we bicker back and forth at each other calling each other stupid. I vow to myself I'm never going to talk to him again and if he ever runs out if gas again im definitely leaving him stranded. Well we go to work each separate ways and spend the day apart which is good for the both of us. He calls me after work that he's at the store and talks to me the entire time in an Indian accent and I'm cracking up the entire time! I totally forgot about the gas incident and I remembered why I married him. Or when he was looking in the drawer for a teaspoon but all the labels on our measuring spoons are scratched off so you have no idea what you are measuring with them and he said oh good orange scratch-y spoon just the size I needed I remembered why I married him. It's the little things and I wish we had more of those moments.

Being married is such a challenge and its not for the weak hearted. I am envious of those whose marriage comes so easy everyday because I find that to be so rare. Not everyday is my marriage a challenge or do I vow to never speak to him again but I think in our case we have 2 very strong creative personalities and we can butt heads but sometimes we can look out the window see the same thing and not say a word and start cracking up we just get each other I think sometimes we are just too stubborn to always get each other... I don't know what's wrong but if your relationship is perfect I envy you and if you have to put effort into yours I feel your pain.

I will leave you with pictures of the orange scratchy spoon and a picture I my outfit today. My friend gave me this dress and she said it has navy in it I don't know how to wear it so then I got a complex then felt challenged on how to wear navy. So I just wore it with every neutral color ever...

Being a momma!

My oldest son is 7 and i'm a mom of 3! everyday I feel like I'm still figuring out how to be a mom and wondering when I'm going to feel like an adult! What the heck! Is this normal! Haha nothing about my life ever feels normal.

I want a really clean house but then I have to force myself into cleaning. I say things to myself like for the next hour you can only clean! I can't even imagine my mom saying things like that even if it is in her head! We had the cleanest house growing up. I just don't understand where the time comes in for all these things- here's my day in the quickest run down. Giving myself a bath, feeding the kids breakfast, changing diapers, getting them dressed, taking a few pictures for my etsy store, cleaning for my one hour, doing laundry, going to the school to volunteer, picking Fallon up from school, bank, post office, homework and reading with Fallon, cooking dinner, feeding the kids, pto meeting at school, cleaning up dinner, baths and bed. And in between all of that is entertaining 3 kids! Sitting here in my bed looking at the Internet and blogging is making me feel guilty like I should be doing something else. Oh and I forgot I brought home a volunteer project from Fallon's school and worked on that for a while this afternoon. Which means I also must have left out the part where I had to be day drinking because I must have been drunk to bring home more work for myself! (No really I wasn't drinking- maybe I hit my head.. Really hard)

(I have no readers but I will write and pretend I do) my husband and I also own a tattoo shop and the accountant emailed me today and said I see no reconciliations in your records for the whole year... Which is suppose to be done very month and its a log of all transactions we did all year... So that looks like that will be my weekend inputting all of that. But instead of working on that I was cutting out 50 little people for the school!! That's probably the real reason I feel guilty sitting here on my blog.

Kirin took a few steps tonight! Maybe he will walk after all. He's the only baby I have ever seen that pushes around one of those baby walker things that you hold onto and walk with - crying his eyes out. He now says teeth (while pointing to mine), football, and spongebob. Regan still refuses to use the toilet but gives me tons of hugs and misses throughout the day so it's hard to be upset with him. Fallon is turning into his dad he is in love with video games which just a few months ago he had no interest! I'm so sad about it. But he has been getting 104% on his spelling tests and had a great report card!

Young

The other day my client said its a shame we aren't born old and get younger as we age so we can appreciate our youth. Amen to that!

Picture of sweet regan. I want to be the person regan always sees in me.

Fallon turns 7.

I'm not even sure how I can possibly have a 7 year old for multiple reasons. I'm just not sure how I can possibly be old enough to have a 7 year old! I'm surprised that I am able to keep a human being alive that long seeing as I can't even figure out to keep a plant alive! So it turns out its easier to raise a human rather than a plant.

Really I'm still in shock that he will be 7 tomorrow. It's just crazy how much he has taught me and how much we have grown together. Not a day goes by where he does test my patience or push my buttons but not a day goes by where he doesn't make me a better person/mother. He is so silly and he doesn't even know how funny he is. Which makes him so much more funny. I wish I could look at life the way he does sometimes.

Tonight as he was laying down I got into bed with him (which I try and do a few nights a week but I want to work on doing it every night) which is such a special and sweet time to talk with him and reflect on different parts of the day or life. Tonight we talked about how he would be turning 7 tomorrow and he told me that he didn't want to turn 7 tomorrow. I asked him why and he said he didn't like the number and wanted to stay 6. I explained to him how I didn't like getting older either but it's nothing we can control and how we shouldn't focus on things that were out of our control but put the energy into the positive. Of course he just nodded his head like his 7 year old self cared about my hippie positive peace and love mumbo jumbo. I said Fallon what age would you like to be and he thought for a minute and came back with 43. It was everything in me to it die laughing right then but I said well 7 is one more year closer to 43, just 36 more years to go. He smiled his devilish smirk and looked content to be 7.

Happy birthday Fallon Gunnar Stonewall Asbury-Cornett! I look forward to meeting 43 year old you! ( no rush though I look forward to all the nights you let me lay in bed and talk with you)

For old senile me.

I just want to have this to go back and read someday so I can remember how good life was to me. I am just so lucky to have such great boys! They might make me crazy, or scream more than I want to, hurt each other, get stitches or chip their teeth but they make my world go round!
Tonight Fallon just wanted Kirin to sleep in bed with him and regan wants to hug and kiss me all the time and Kirin is just dying to walk.

I have so many fantastic moments in my day and as soon as I sit down with my blog it's hard to being them to mind. I hope I get better at this.

1 time a month.

Looks like Im on a once a month type of schedule for updating my blog.

Britton has been home mostly with the boys while he new tattoo shop is under construction. Sometimes they have days like these.

Yes that is marker on his face.

My girlfriend and I took our kids to chuck e cheese the other day. Im not a fan of that place but man do the kids love it!


Regan is so close to walking if he would just let go of the furniture! Fallon got his hair cut today. a "harry potter hair cut" it was the first hair cut i didnt give him. it was kind of sad but he definitly sat better for mary than me and she offered him all the brown suckers (his favorite) in the salon.


going out for kimras birthday in my new leopard high knit shorts.

struggling.

Im really having a hard time making myself commit to this blogging stuff. I dont understand why! When I was younger I would update my livejournal all the time!!

A couple weeks ago we had an ice storm and we were out of power for 2 days and I learned real quick that I am so lucky I live in this day and age because I am very uncomfortable with my house being 50 degrees.

Regan has been pulling himself up and walking around by holding onto the furniture and army crawling. He's 10 months old today. Still doesnt crawl and has no teeth!! poor guy really wants to eat table food and walk and nothings working out for him.

Fallon had a valentines party at school on monday and we went and it was so cute to see him interacting with his friends and he seemed so proud to be a big brother he kept pointing regan out to his friends telling them that was his brother. The other day he was sitting on the floor with regan feeding him cereal I wanted to cry to see my "baby" not really be a baby anymore and see that is a boy. I just cant believe hes 5 already!

Britton got fired from the tattoo shop he was working at because he is in the process of opening up his own shop which is so exciting and hopefully it will be open by end of april early may! While it was stressful at first to hear that he wasnt going to be working it has been really nice to have him home more. We were actually able to go out like a real couple on a friday nite when normally he would be getting home at 11 at nite.

here is a picture of us from the fall or summer but i love it.

why everyday of my life is magical..

and also why i know so much about trains, harry potter, and legos.

Im a little behind since I dont buy leather new. I only buy used leather so I had to wait for someone to give these up in my size and I finally found some on ebay. I still love them!


I've been trying to sew on my new sewing machine and I started hemming my dresses and I then I thought it was super wasteful to throw the scrap away so I made a circle scarf.


Still chugging along selling my vintage clothes. I'm so happy to be getting rid of these things and so excited they are going to people who love them.

Lets try this again!

So its been a long time since I updated this thing. Since then Fallon has turned 5!


I had a baby Regan!


who is 9 months old today!


Im slowly selling through all of my vintage clothes on etsy and ebay! It feels great to get give my clothes another chance to be loved by someone else!
I've been learning how to hem - I got a sewing machine for christmas so far its easier than I had expected! I have been hemming my vintage dresses and making scarves! its been nice!
Well Im going to give this blog thing another shot! Heres to hoping I can keep up with it!

so im doing terrible at this blog shit like i thought i would.

but i got my first finger tattoo.. its very tiny.


i bleached my chucks. now all i need is black lace shoe laces and they will be perfect.


got my head re-shaved. it looks so nice freshly cut.


urban outfitters is having major mark downs on shoes and i really need so many shoes. i got doc martens off of shoes and your mom over a month ago. still havent come. not going to lie not very impressed. i don't know what the hell the issue is. so needless to say i don't recommend making purchases off of there becasue there is no way of guaranteeing you will get your stuff.. ugh.

steampunk and ipod.

way into steampunk right now.
found these necklaces on etsy. i love these.



and how awesome would it be to have this computer.


i got my first ipod the other day.. yeah at the age of 25.. i know where i have been for the last decade.

at least it is bright pink. it would be way more awesome if it were a steampunk ipod.




husband and i saw the hangover last nite. i havent laughed that long in forever. i think everyone needs an alan from that movie in there life.

off to get tattooed and get some 90's style cartilage piercings.

monsters vs. aliens

i took fallon to see monster vs. aliens today. and now i really want a jumpsuit/body suit like susans. yes a cartoon character is giving me inspiration for my wardrobe.



i couldn't find a good picture of it. but good enough.

thursday was girls bike nite and the last thursday of the month which meant boys could join us it was a pretty good ride. we had about 13 riders and on the way home we stopped at sonic for a treat. stormed a horrible storm. rode home in a trash bag and got a flat.

one last thing.

in the shoe window shopping i found these.

and im going to need them.
its weird how over your lifetime you will wear the same styles again.
who knew i would love wedges again and pyramid studs.

shoes. biking. karen o.

so im doing terrible at this blog thing.
its been weeks since the yeah yeah yeahs show and i still cant get karen o out of my head.

so even though i think this mask is amazing and i want any reason to wear one. today when i was out riding down the bike path i passed a lady wearing a mask on her face and it was seriously creepy. like this plastic mask thing with eye and mouth cut outs. im not sure what the point of it was.. maybe if she wrecked her face wouldn't be fucked.. i don't know.

how amazing are these?

they are clock arms. i need them.

i saw st. vincent this past week. thanks to my friend andria. so amazing! god what a killer voice.


i have been dreaming about these for a while.

i just forgot about my blog and went shoe window shopping online. its terrible how bad you can torture youself just by looking at shoes.
because currently all i can afford is banana clips.. if i could fucking find some! the dollar store doesn't even have them. i might need to go to kentucky for something like that.

today i rode 30 miles and it was a strange day to say the least.. i rode this womens event everyone there was 35+ it seemed, all on geared bikes, and all in bike gear. there i was in cut off jean shorts skulls on my slip on vans, this ridiculous flashy bike, do i need to even mention the tattoos. i felt very out of place. haha but i ended up having fun and it was a great ride. lots of hills. beautiful country roads.

i took fallon to a princess tea party birthday party and when we got home he kept asking me if we had fun at the party. seriously so cute!

oh and goodbye copper hair. hello red. its different and still growing on me.

first things first.

my first post on here. i don't really know what i am going to use this blog for.
maybe for when i am old i can look back and think man being young was rad.
i will probably really end up writing about clothes, shoes, bikes, inspiration and the hillarious shit fallon says.

so here is the introductions in case anyone ever decides to read this.
fallon.. my 3 year old son who is owner of an imaginary mouse and the light of my life.

this is my husband.. britton.. the king of all jerks and the tattoo artist.

but for being a jerk he didnt do too bad when he bought me this for my birthday.
my other baby suhaila grubb..
