i love this designer couple. i did a report on the

eames when i was in college.

i love her name ray. maybe a perfect name for another little girl...

alot of people gave him more

credit, when she deserved it. it made her mad.

i would be mad too. i very much want and eames

chair. maybe the next day. i had a really

neat picture of them, and i lost it, during a move.

"and then the next day is there. always a good thing. the next day."

-maria kalman illustration by her as well.

this picture is kind of hard to see but, bella has learned to take off her pants. she is supp0sed to be taking a nap. i heard her talking and i went in there to find this...bella with no pants. this has happened for the third time in the past couple of days. she sure is proud of herself!! so is mamma.

we went down to north ogden for easter break and we had so much fun! we just got home and once again it is cold and windy. bella had fun seeing her grammas and grandpas and aunties and uncles and friends and cousins! the first picture is of bella on her first real day of being outside. we tried to put her in a swing and she was not having any of it. until her dad came home, he took her outside and put her in the swing and it was no problem!! we had fun! and bella got very spoiled she got tons of brand new toys and she was in bliss! thank you gramma and grandpa hunt for the new toys! and grandma leatham for the teether! we miss everyone and we had so much fun!!

i want this post card. it reminds me of summer. but since we are on a 'fixed income' this picture on my blog will have to do! it is by alicia bock. she has really awesome pictures and things that i want to buy. if only i won the powerball.......http://www.shop.aliciabock.com/

The Family at Home: Love. Life. Style. (Hardcover)by Anita Kaushal (Author)

this book is one of my very favorites. i bought it and i love it! love it! it has good advice and great design. and it makes me very happy. i am glad i bought it!

bryan decided tuesday night was date night, and he took the whole family out to dinner at really one of the only good places to eat here, texan road house. it was pretty good. we had fun! we have not been out for SO VERY long!this is bella getting ready for her big date!

so if any of you realize, i have trouble communicating when telling a story, explaining my thoughts, really just my general communication. here is a guy who can speak dani. as amanda calls it. http://www.nbc.com/Saturday_Night_Live/video/#mea=224735
enjoy!

check out this website. i LOVE this ladies apartment. http://www.homebysunset.com/home_by_sunset/2008/02/march-preview-s.html
i love it! her blog is awesome! http://www.sfgirlbybay.com/ check it out, there is a ton of neat stuff on there! i would say this is my personal style. being in school, and studying design, (still studying design..i will always be studying and learning about it! there is so much to learn!) along with working, i honestly love ALL styles of design. i realize i like all types of design wether it be country, victorian, french country, modern, contemporary, etc. that is why i think being an designer is perfect for me. and i always wonder when looking at all of our collections of things , i have acquired for years and continue to acquire, i wonder what style is this? from my favorite striped cow, to a fancy gold picture frame. but i would say this is it.this is how i hope my home is one day. there is this quote in a part of my most favorite book EVER, by jaroldeen edwards-"in summary, i wish i had understood much earlier that home is not a thing to be looked at. it is not something we create to impress others. it is not an object. home is a living, breathing thing, a laboratory for living. i believe we should each create a home that makes poeple think, i want to be in that home, not i wish i owned that home." and i know i could not have said it better!
