Crazy Cousin Cookie Craft Night!!!

Calling all DeWitt Cousins! Here is our little craft for this years Crazy Cousin Cookie Craft Night... It's simple and inexpensive. I bought these three plates at the dollar store the other night, had some left over vinyl that I stuck on here, and used an easel that I already had. ( I had the black and gold easel already, but did buy that silvery one at the dollar store too just fyi.) Cute huh! So bring your favorite plate to display, think of a cute saying you want to go on it! The vinyl and cutting machine will be provided. ( We should have red, green, white and black vinyl.) Don't forget to bring a treat to share, and you'll get to go home with a cute decorated plate full of yummy treats! Love you all! See you soon! (Tammi will be sending you the evite with all the details... )

Cole's First Field Trip

Cole Man's pre school walked to a neighborhood park for a field trip recently. Ty got to go along, since his class got moved to Saturdays instead of Fridays. Doesn't he just look adorable? So big.






LOVE. THIS.KID. AMEN.

FIGHTING BATTLE DROIDS...

We have no idea how in the heck Cole's latest obsession is Star Wars. I have never seen the movie, yes its true, never seen it. But each day for about a week now, Cole and I go in to the back yard and fight the battle droids. Are battle droids even in the movie? No idea. But we have this star wars-ish book that has battle droids in it, so thats my reference. Grandma Dar got Cole this helmet, that is actually a little too heavy for his head, so I get to wear it too... I have to say, I am loving this. And here's why. Since Cole Man was born, he's TOTALLY been a daddys boy. Of course loves his mommy, but he's a daddys boy through and through. Now, with Ty gone to school and gone doing therepy a little more, Cole and I have gotten a lot closer. Not that he and Ty aren't still total buds, or that I think its a competition between us, but its been wonderful. When you ask him who he wants to fight battle droids with, HE. PICKS. ME. Love it.

The Brinkerhoff Beach Trip 2009

We had so much fun at Mission Beach this year. Here are some fun pics from it...








My fam gave me a hard time about this hat. I have no sense of fashion its true. Ask Bay.


I.Love.this.man. (well both of them really...)



This is Cole doing the "I love you" sign. LOVE THIS PICTURE. Life is good.

Making her laugh, by Tyler

So, lately Linsey has been complaining that I don't make her laugh anymore... This got me thinking. I know, hard to believe that I can still get the wheels turning up there. Really though, I started thinking how things really are different now - now that we have CHILDREN. I realized that my humor is being taken by two little boys who sweetly rob me of my silliness with their innocent eyes and their addictive laughter. So is that the reason why I'm boring to my wife? Could it be that the fun has been sucked from me by these thieving leprechauns of laughter? Are my children actually parasites of pleasure.

Nah, it's the sleep deprivation...

Visiting Bailee in Utah

I went to visit Bailee this summer. She asked me to come, I wanted to go, so I went. SO much fun. Here is us on our hike to the Y.



We hit as many cute shops and boutiques as we could. I was brave and bought this hat.... haven't worn it yet... I will. Sometime.

Seriously, one of the quickest, yet most relaxing, needed, FUN trips ever. I LOVE YOU SISTER!

THE BEAST AND ME...

Well, here I am FINALLY posting about our fun summer... You may or may not have seen us this summer in "Beauty and the Beast"at Hale Theater in Gilbert. Ty played the Beast/Prince, and I played Belle. Truly the most fun role I have ever played. EVER. I LOVE the dramatical stuff, I do, but this playful, innocent, strong, character was just so fun. TIRING yes. Do I know that doing shows as my hobby will always stay a hobby? Yes, more than ever. So here are some pictures...


Here is the classic Belle outfit. It was super fun to wear.


Tyler was an INCREDIBLE Beast of course. It was like falling in love all over again to play opposite him again...


Practicing.

Kelli from Sweet Cakes in down town Mesa, came to the show and brought Tyler and I 2 boxes of their amazing cookies. WOW! My mouth waters as I look at this picture. Thanks again Kelli!

Cole Man's first time seeing us in a show ever! He came to the show 6 times. He loved it. So many audience people would say that they had more fun watching him watch us than watch the show itself! Grandma Dar brought him most of those times, they called eachother "show buddies". Cole would be the FIRST to laugh at all the jokes. He was SO DANG CUTE.






Our GREAT cast. What fun!!!!
