and I'd like you to meet...Me.

updated 11/5/10
This is for all you cool blog stalkers out there, I thought I'd throw you a bone here and introduce myself and my family to you :o)
This family photo was taken Summer 2009. I look like a 12 year old, I know.

We'll start with the oldest {and sometimes wisest...}
 Mr. Craftaholics Anonymous
Davis and I have been married almost 6 years. He's an honest, sweet guy and I love him to pieces. {this is where you go, "awww"} He even *occasionally* helps me with my bigger projects. Like hanging my crib spring in the staircase. I would have put two nails in the wall, maybe two screws, and called it good. Oh no, Mr. CA pulled out the level, wire, stud finder, anchors, etc, etc, etc.

Davis recently graduated from dental school. We lived the student life for the first 5 years of our marriage and I'm excited to say that he now has a job and we actually have income for the first time. YAY!!! Davis and I met in college and were married a year later. Davis enjoys running, snowboarding, art, long walks on the beach ;) and fixing things around the house. He's also the king of cheesy jokes and makes some killer caramel pancake syrup.
 Mini Mr. Craftaholics Anonymous
Little man is the cutest stinker ever. My world revolves around this adorable ball of energy. He loves to chat and point out every single ceiling fan he can find. He loves animals, especially puppies, fish, and cats, going for walks by the lake by our house, and adores slides and swings. Little man is 2 and is a serious social butterfly with a bubbly laugh.

 Baby Craftaholics Anonymous
This is our newest addition. He was born on 10/10/10 and yes, he's perfect :) He is a sweet baby with very little hair and big eyes. His big brother likes to give him kisses and high 5's. They are going to be the best buds growing up! 

 Mrs. Craftaholics Anonymous
Me. hmmm. I actually hate talking about myself. Let's see, crafting and scrapbooking are pretty much givens. I enjoy running and baking. Although I'm not very good at baking! I have a BA in Business. I wanted to major in Interior Decorating....but didn't. So I play around at home and change my furniture and home decor almost weekly. Which inspired a game at our house called, "What did I change today, honey?" I love photography and pretty pictures, so I am constantly working on my photog skills. I was a bit of a neat freak before the kids came. I used to alphabetize my food pantry. I still love to organize closets and drawers, but don't have as much time to do it anymore. Although I do find it very relaxing!

 I love my boys!!

All right. I'm done. I'm sure that was more than you ever wanted to know me. Good. That was the plan.

  4. That was so fun to get to know you a little more! Fun that your husband is finally almost done with school. Wahoo is right! nOw I just wish I new what part of CA you are in because we could just possibily be neighbors. But, you know, CA is a pretty huge state, so probably not.

  8. My pantry used to be perfect, when I had only one child. My perfectionism has gone by the way-side more and more with each baby boom! I do good to catch moldy bread, or expired stuff. So, enjoy. I'm so jealous. You should really take a picture of the pantry and show us! ;)

    Your family is beautiful! Your little boy looks so much like Mr. CA! Thanks for sharing!

  14. :) GET.OUT.
    We're are so similar. I too was the school photographer in H.S. and year Book editor. And then we play the same game in our house, and for the record he has YET to guess what I rearanged on his first try!
    Third: Organizing is addicting. My movies are in alphabetical order, and my clothes our grouped into colors.
    I'm not obsessed, I'm passionate!
    Thanks for the post!

  17. You do have a cute family! I only organize or clean when I'm angry about something, which might be why my house is usually messy. Haha. Your family is so adorable, oh I already said that. My hubby became a high school teacher instead of a doctor and even though he's happy, well, I guess that's the best part. Thanks for sharing, I think your blog design is awesome too.

  21. Linda-
    So nice to get to know you! I too have lots in common with you! My husband just graduated Dental school in San Antonio. I was married at 20. I was a photographer in HS. I scrap and craft...life is so fun as a dental student wife huh?!
    So where are you attending dental school? We are in Vegas doing an AEGD...we are trying to figure out where to live/move! The market in some areas is horrible!!

  24. Hi Linda,
    You ALL look so young ! What a nice family you have.
    I was a scrapper for 10 years and stopped when I sort of ran out of pictures and the fad was bottle caps in pages.

    You have a great blog ! Stop over some time and say Hi.....

  25. You have an adorable family. I don't usually comment...because really who cares what I think. However, I've been called out as a blog stalker lol. I really enjoyed your blogging Q&A post. My blog has been seriously neglected. You have provided me with the inspiration to possibly resuscitate it. I hope to utilize it better than in the past. I've often wondered how to get my blog out there. You've answered many questions for me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

  32. I stumbled across your cute blog today after it was featured in One Pretty Thing. BUT THEN I thought for sure you and your husband looked familiar so I read your About Me section and the comments afterward. Funny that I have the exact same comment as another reader: Did you attend BYU-I? We're in Sacramento as well, but on our way out to go to medical school. Glad I found your beautiful blog!

    ReplyDelete
  33. I just saw your blog today. What cute ideas. I noticed your boy was born 10/10/10. Our little girl was born 10/8/10. Maybe they'll meet up someday at BYU:)
