Well hello, someones cooking in my kitchen...

aaaah back to life in the kitchen. and studio. feels so dang good!'
I will start out with life in the kitchen.
We just received this very nice cook book for christmas with over 2,000 recipes, wowzer that's a lot.
Since there is so many it's hard to pick one out so we decided to close our eyes, flip through and land on a page, the deal is we HAVE to make one dish on that page even if we like the ingredients or not.
This is called a little geeky family fun. LOVE it.

And here is the book!

Now onto the studio:

 Wow Yeow, I have been watching clips of this really cool surfing movie -Bustin' Down The Door- really beautifully filmed and truly super cool. 70's baby! I wish that I, my family, could have been filmed back in that time... just gorgeous. I am fully inspired. These guys were fearless. I want some of what they had.

Hello Mister Grey Dole...

Grey Dunham Dole was born on September 17th, Just as I knew he would. I was induced on the 16th and was told he would arrive that day but I knew better... I always said the 17th, as I always say... Trust your gut... some things in life you are just absolutely sure of.

heading in to be induced. clearly that tank top is too small!

ah, right after giving birth. both puffy eyed from our experience.

what a cutie. i am so lucky.

He is a little Gem, looks exactly like me as a baby... I hope he approves!
