OH CANADA

We are heading off to Montreal and Quebec for the long weekend with our friends the Costellos. It is going to be beautiful and a little enchanting. And hey i can even try and practice my junior high french skills. Hopefully it won't be too cold. Enjoy the long weekend.

HUNTER MOUNTAIN

Through one of Cardon's jobs he was able to get us free bus passes and tickets to go snowboarding upstate at Hunter Mountain. We have yet to experience east coast snowboarding. I am sure it won't be as good as back home, but who can pass up a free day on the snow. We were really lucky to round up most of what gear we needed too, since all of ours is in Utah. Hopefully i will have some pics to add after the adventure. Hope you all have a great weekend.

POST CHRISTMAS

We were really happy to be able to head to Utah after Christmas to spend time with the Pyne family for a few days. We ate a lot of yummy food, played games, had some great ski days and enjoyed the family. Here are a few pictures of Adrienne's party eating delicious treats and playing with the cute nephews. I have a bunch more pictures but they are on my phone. So hopefully i will get them up soon. It was really good to get to go to both Utah and Boise. Thank you everyone, we miss you already.

CHRISTMAS

We went to Boise for Christmas to hang out with the Webb family. We started off the week with a baby shower for Kim. Check out the Webb girls.



Cardon's dad grew up in New Mexico and makes the best Mexican food. So it's tradition to have a big Mexican meal for Christmas. This year we decided to have a little fiesta. And no fiesta is complete without a pinata. So don't worry we had a Santa pinata. It was a hit.



We had our cousin party and were suppose to dress up in ugly Christmas gear. Don't worry we went caroling like this. Don't Cardon and I look like Elton John and Where's Waldo? I didn't have any gear so i just wore all of Cardon's clothes. It worked out well. I think Koos won though.





Christmas morning...Good grub, good company. I stole a few of these pictures off Kim, so thanks Kim. Good ol' Maggie, she got lots of kisses. Cardon was very happy Santa brought him his GF Hurley board.

PRE-CHRISTMAS

We started out the Christmas Holiday with a little pre-Christmas at home in NYC. A handful of small gifts made for a fun affair.
*note ironically most of Cardon's presents fell along the lines of a red color scheme. He was loving it...p.s. Cardon got me a rad marker board that is as long kitchen wall...stoked

FIRST SNOW

We had our first snow storm last week. We were actually really excited to shovel snow. Too bad we couldn't go bizzing. These are our neighbors Amber and Leah. We are so glad they live by us.

O CHRISTMAS TREE

Every year we get a little bit taller Christmas tree. This year we made it up to one almost as tall as us. The problem was that we only had enough decorations to decorate about half of it. But we have collected a few more lights and ornaments over the last week so it looks a little more evenly decorated than this now. I love getting real trees. It makes your house smell so nice.

HARLEM REUNION

We were able to meet up with some old friends in Harlem on Saturday night. What a great way to end the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for the photo Rob.

THANKSGIVING IN CONNECTICUT

We had a lot of fun over the Thanksgiving weekend. We went hiking in the forcean (where the forest meets the ocean), antique shopping, thrifting, junkyard scavenging, watchin some good movies, playing moods and of course eating delicious grub. We were able to play around with our new lomography fisheye and split cameras.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

I don't know about you but i have got my tastemakers ready. Hope you all enjoy your Thanksgiving. We are off to Connecticut and i can't wait.

NIGHT WITH THE BOUNCING SOULS

Tonght there is a Q & A with the Bouncing Souls at Cardon's school. Cardon has a crush on these dudes. So it should be pretty sweet. Hope to have some pics of the event tmr.

WEBB BOYS

Check out these sweet pictures of Cardon and his brothers that i had to steal off Kim's blog (bradkimmartin.blogspot.com), the sister to these crazys. So rad.

MANY THANKS

It being November and all i wanted to post a few things that we are greatful for at the moment.


walking to the subway in the mornings with cardon

old cloth that i can make pretty things out of

racoons...we currently have one that hangs out in our front yard, it makes me feel more at home

random encounters with people in the city...makes for some good conversations

Cardon recieving a scholarship...good work cardon

my coat angie gave me for christmas last year...nothing makes me happier than slippin that bad boy on in the mornings

internet...it only took us 2 years to finally sign up for this...maybe some day we will get tv...probably not its better this way

libraries...i love always being in the middle of a good book...and for that matter i love good book covers and old maps

healthy bodies...this is an important one...when i fathom how much i use my body and how elaborate they are it makes me want to try and never take it for granted...we walk everywhere out here, plus think about how often you use your hands, eyes, ears, legs, feet, everything. so greatful for this one

family and friends...you all know who you are and we are so greatful for you in our lives

beautys in every day life...leaves changing, the smell of campfire, rain, blossoms, fresh air, sunrises, beautiful signage, happy accidents, fresh bread, getting a seat on the train, smiles, birds chirpping, snowflakes, writing a letter, sharing, creating.

our heavenly father...knowing that this is all provided by him and that he is always there for us no matter what.

FOLLOW UP PASSPORT

Ok so i seriously would not post this but Cardon is begging me to so i will take one for the team. Here is a comparison of my old and soon to be new passport photo. And seriously the old is a bad picture and my face looks really round, but i wasn't bigger just an FYI. The old one is from when i was 18. I was a lifty in Aspen thus my sweet beanie tan line. So i think it is safe to assume that i am looking better at 25 than at 18. Let the comments roll.

PASSPORT

It's about that time, time for me to get a new passport. I just had to post this picture i got taken for it today, i look like i am straight out the 70's. But i kinda like it. With this passport i am finally changing my name to Webb, no more having two identities. And no more security workers not believing that my passport is mine. Apparently my last passport photo makes me look a lot heavier. The last guy wouldn't let me through until i told him how much weight i seriously had lost. The sad thing is i don't think i have lost anything; my face just looks skinnier and paler for that matter.

GORILLA

I had to post these pictures of my nephew. His costume is pretty genius. Isn't he the cutest.

HALLOWEEN
