mclayne the artiste

mclayne was busy "painting" all sorts of things last week.

















first...she painted her toenails and fingernails while she was supposed to be watching madagascar 2. Luckily she didn't spill a drop, put the lid back on, and put the nail polish away. I think her paint job also supports our belief that mclayne is ambidextrous. Not bad for her first time!











second... presenting mclayne's ryan in play-doh

on saturday while ryan and I were making breakfast, mclayne announces that she "made a picture of daddy." we walked over and found this. even though mclayne had no idea what she was doing {i hope!}, it was hilarious! ryan was flattered.

FOTC update

i've been watching the last of season one and season two on demand {maybe the first time i've ever used our free hbo subscription} and can't believe i was debating whether or not to by tickets. i love it so much i think i'm now a little racist towards australians. luckily, i got tickets at Red Rocks before they sold out. i can't wait!

for valentine's day mclayne got a bake set...she's getting pretty good at making play-doh cookies...mmh mmh


mclayne was finger painting in the basement and came up with this lovely body art. here she is showing off her full-body tattoo, giving a tough pose to go with it, and trying to make cleavage? the last one is great...is a hangnail really your biggest problem right now?!

never thought i'd use mo tab and flight of the conchords in the same sentence

for a while now i have wanted to get tickets to a concert at Red Rocks. So far on the 2009 schedule there is the mormon tabernacle choir {which i will probably be out of town for}...and flight of the conchords. who? i had no idea who they were, so i looked them up and it might actually be a funny show. i still think i'll wait until they post the rest of the season schedule before I buy tickets, but here's just a little taste of fotc {for adult audiences only...and based on the viewers of this blog, probably just for those of you whose last name is BERGSTROM!}....


so, what do you think? should i buy tickets...

a long time ago when ryan lived in japan...

he bought two camera lenses. about a year ago he bought a pretty inexpensive sony that was compatible with them. since then i've just been using the "regular" lens and it does a great job. but recently i started using the other one, i think it's a telephoto, but i could be wrong. either way, it's pretty awesome. so, for those of you that asked, i have a "new" ten.year.old lens!








and while we're on the topic of ryan stories...
on friday we driving in the car and mclayne told me a story about daddy playing football and a "guy big as fwee elephants" hurting him. she continued to tell the story down to every detail...including the stretcher, screws, and needle and fwed. i think daddy's bedtime stories are better than all the others combined!
