Michael Jackson tribute

We told Eisley about Michael Jacksons passing; now she insists on wearing this hat as a memento of the King of Pop. Except she is more like the king of Poop.

Eisley Rain

People have always commented on the fancy things that I've made for Eisley and I have finally done something about it. I love creating and decided to share my fun accessories with all!! Nothing too fancy for now, but I set up a blog to display and sell my stuff. The blog address is eisleyrain.blogspot.com. Yes, named after our one and only!! There are mostly things for girls at the moment, but also accessories for boys. I update the blog pretty often so check in to see what's new when you can!

I've added a link on the side of our blog to Eisley Rain, so check it out!! Spread the word to any friends or family that you know of that may be having a baby or to those who would like a home crafted baby gift for baby showers. Thanks!!

Candace has lost her cell phone... Can you help her find it?

Candace has been missing her cell phone for about a week and a half now. I was doing the laundry this morning and found it while checking the pockets. Rather than return it to her I decided to place it here, taped to the kitchen cabinet. When she finds it I will try and convince her that is where she must have left it.

Eisley and Cohen's First Date

I guess it's no surprise these two would end up on a date. Their parents have been pushing the relationship on them since birth. Cohen made the first move by putting his arm around Eisley. Sneaky little fella!! They seemed a little unsure, but definitely enjoyed their romantic roll in the bike trailer. Good luck you two!! Let's start plotting their next date Tieks!!

Word yo!

Ok. So I just found this picture on Dan's phone today. This is what Dan does at work everybody!! Just thought you all should know. And Dan, you are super cool! Love ya!

GO Directly To JAIL - Do not pass go- Do not collect $200

Several of our friends have been into the television series Prison Break and recommended it to us. In fact, 2 years ago in an effort to make it so easy we couldn't possibly have an excuse to continue not watching it, Preston lent us season 1 on DVD. Special announcement: we are now on the band wagon; Last week we started watching it with our friends Collin and Tianna.

To make Friday a real date night and not just another night of hanging out watching the show, we decided it was time for another theme date!

The whole evening was a surprise to Collin and Tianna and began with a trip to the tattoo parlor (Smith's Marketplace vending machines). Much to our dismay they didn't have any of the rub on tattoos with blueprints of a prison hidden in them. If fact, they didn't have any tattoos with blue prints of ANY building. We ultimately decided that the princess tattoos really wouldn't help with the theme of the date so we skipped them altogether and went home where we made dinner- Blueberry Pancakes (Lincoln Burrows last meal before execution).

After our "last meal" we jumped in the car headed off to the next part of the date with the VERY Apprehensive Zundels following in the car behind us. We headed north on I-15 and got off at the Bluffdale exit, at which point Tianna began demanding that Collin turn the car around. Her worst nightmare came true when we actually parked at the prison. Unbeknownst to them we had called a good friend of ours who works at the prison and had arranged an after hours, private tour of the facility. We spent the next hour walking through and seeing the maximum security prison cells where guards are trained on forced entry ( I even got to put on the riot gear) and hearing stories about what prison life is really like. Hollywood is notorious for blowing things way out of proportion for the sake of drama. In the case of Prison Break, it seems they have given us the edited, more family friendly version; Thank you Hollywood. The tour ended with Greg offering to schedule a time to take us through the actual facility where inmates are kept and to even walk among them but Collin declined the invitation when he was told he would not be able to bring his own Shank.

To continue on with the theme, we went home and played a game Candace had prepared. Each person was given 6 character cards with the name of a character from the show on it. Then each person was given 12 fact cards that had facts about the actor/actress on it; anything from where they were born to awards they had received. Each character card was to be paired with two fact cards and the first player with all the correct facts with the right person won. Congratulations to Tianna for a lot of lucky guesses. She was very happy to flaunt her win untill Candace gave her the prize: P.I. Pass for the next month. She will be pulling weeds, folding laundry, and doing the dishes at our place for $0.19 an hour. (at that rate you should be able to put Collin through Law school and graduate debt free in just a shade over a century)

The evening finished with us staying up entirely too late to finish Disc 5.

Sweetest Thing Ever

I promise we'll get some fun stories up, but for now you've got to see these pictures. Our good and very talented friend Addie White took these amazing pictures of Eisley!! So sweet! We think the naked shots are really cute, but some think it's not appropriate, any thoughts??? Anyway, Eisley is modeling several of the products I make and sell. I'm really enjoying that and she's the best model! Sorry there are so many pictures. Couldn't just pick a few. It's a curse all mothers suffer from I suppose!!
