Drum Role Please.....

My silly mom hasn’t put up any pictures of her brain child, Lucille Elaine. So here are some pictures to brag on her. These pictures don’t do it justice so you will have to go take a look for it yourself!

Meg does all the management while Kimmy creates


The inspiration!






My mom has channelled not only her inner bombshell, but her late, mother, Lucille Elaine. She has brought Lucille's true personality back to life for others to enjoy and be inspired by. My mom has put her everything into this store and when you walk in you can see pieces of her throughout. The personality of the store tells you to reach for your confident, bombshell, drop all insecurity and find what makes you shine!



Mom the store is beautiful!

Thanksgiving!!

Whit and I got to go to CA with our family for Thanksgiving. Enjoy the pics!!

First stop Disneyland!!!!!









Not everyone got the character they wanted...
I think Jaimie ended up being Lady from "Lady and the Tramp"


Beautiful!

I think that is fairly accurate...skinny with a big goofy head.

Katy is very loyal and sometimes she licks your face when she is happy to see you.






A BUG! What the...I wanted to be Jane form Tarzan!!


The clouds parted as we drove up to this blessed place!



Fish bowl Shirley Temples anyone!!??

Hey Brother....


Costa Mesa Swap Meet is the place to be!
Thanks everyone for making Thanksgiving so fun!!

Life is Good and We are Full

The past month has been great. Whit has been busy with school and I with work, and we have been so fortunate! We have found ourselves in an especially happy time which is always a treat! I just wanted to post some pictures of the high moments in the last month or so.

Nana and Grandpa Bunker came to visit us.

The girls went to the Portland Japanese Gardens, while Grandpa Doug and Whit watched football.

Before Nana and Grandpa Bunker left they gave us the best gift. . . Hanova Hills Steak!!! Delicious!

Sunny days are few so we soak them up when they come!

We almost lost Otie!
What we found on the other side


We love and miss you all!!!

How I Spend My Days

Lately, I have been working from my little home office and keeping up the house. Most recently I have started babysitting a little boy twice a week. He is so cute, he looks like the little boy in jungle book. He might be from the jungle, yesterday he was hanging on me like a little monkey and wouldn't let go. He thought it was hilarious. I have a hard time communicating with him because he is only one. Usually its with repeated "eh","eh?"or "EH!!" We were playing peekaboo and it was so funny. I was only able to get like 2 seconds before my camera died but its pretty cute!

WE LOVE ROCKS!



Whit and I took part in a short hike to see a very old boulder that had been carried to Oregon from British Columbia in a huge flood, 20,000 years ago. I was expecting to find a boulder grave yard of sorts. However we reached the top of the hill to find an slightly over sized rock. The story of this traveling rock(http://www.oregonstateparks.org/park_135.php,) is much more interesting than the rock in its current resting place.



Here are some pictures from our adventure to Erratic Rock, or as I like to immaturely call it, Erotic Rock.

Day Two with Jaimie-Boo!!!

What a Busy Day we Had!!
First we went to Newport, Oregon and ate lunch at this great diner!


OOO...Tasty!
Then we walked around and saw some fishing boats and met a great pirate!
This friendly pirate showed us his fishing vessel.
Over the bridge to the Pacific Aquarium we go.
Jaimie swam with the fish,
While this scary Japanese Spider Crab ate some squid.

Just keep swimming....


Nap Time!!

I don't love the Octopus!
The giant crab got lose!
It got Jaimie....What will I do?!?!

Is the whale going to land on Jaimie?
After the Aquarium we went to drove up the coast.

Oty loved riding around with us today! This tree had a ton of old buoys hanging from it.
Jaimie the artist became a glass blower today, and made a glass float! Enjoy watching the artist at work!
This guy got the melted glass out of this vat just like honey, with a honey comb! WOWFirst you spin the glass to get the shape you want. You have to keep spinning it so it doesn't fall off.
Then you spin heat it up again
Just keep spinning...
WOWZA...the guy helping us said this was like 2,500 degrees. Watch out!
Jaimie twisted the melted glass to make the color in glass swirly looking.
Spin some more...
HOT!
Now shape into the perfect ball, spin and shape at the same time!
Blow!
oh, wow it got bigger!
Its beautiful Jaimie!
Now we carefully take the glass off of the rod.All done!

Now its going to dry, and Jaimie will get it in about 2 weeks.
Dinner at Moe's(Jaimie only likes to take pictures of me eating. Why!?)
I want to make babies with this Peanut Butter PIE!!
I am so full, but the pie it just soooo good.
This stunning mermaid bid us farewell as we left for home.
See you tomorrow!!
