It's been a while. A lot has been going on- holidays, more holidays, taking care of my children, living in two temporary locations, renting out our Mansfield home, and are currently in the process of buying a new one. We are a tad crazy right now...but I wanted to post this pic from our family session that my friend <a href="http://www.mallorykriegerphotography.com">Mallory</a> shot for us. I love it!</div><div><br /></div><div>Hopefully we'll talk again soon!</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUY0DWr5g63ZoJ1qhYtRRydITL6V9UrXxXZBXk5jP_6YhLRGMYCID2XZQIOfGDRWi0dvzLhzqam7QQv8z5SITmX2XifQZs12MHmxaha87SxKEB2n8bgT9niKvrTkCV5h0gF1ChHx1s4rcX/s1600/IMG_8601proof.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUY0DWr5g63ZoJ1qhYtRRydITL6V9UrXxXZBXk5jP_6YhLRGMYCID2XZQIOfGDRWi0dvzLhzqam7QQv8z5SITmX2XifQZs12MHmxaha87SxKEB2n8bgT9niKvrTkCV5h0gF1ChHx1s4rcX/s640/IMG_8601proof.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5559496473192557522" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-71021972680930046432010-11-17T13:26:00.001-08:002010-11-17T13:49:26.410-08:00Come one...Come all<div style="text-align: center;">What a perfect day! A and S (twin cousins) shared their birthday party for the second year in a row. We decided this year on a circus/carnival theme...there are so many fun things you can do with that. Our party was pretty low key and mostly family- but we still wanted to make it kid friendly. The cupcakes by Yum Yum Bakery were delicious...and turned out so cute with the little toppers I made. All of our inspiration for this party came from Etsy and Apartment Therapy. Thank goodness for so many great ideas out there. The weather was absolutely beautiful...a bit windy, but still great. The "babies" had a great time playing, getting their faces painted, eating popcorn, candy and cupcakes...and especially opening all of their gifts. We are so blessed to have such supporting and loving family and friends. It was a perfect day.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT8kRT_HhyphenhyphenoFQFCUW_IN0RtifilbCljMx3uBM9R5J7lLORWh2swGpSLwsfusJPugM61fJwCsg0tcZfYQT6MuzaJqvReTeJ5pVx8Qu1XbSu0vL61M2pyiTZXHMrkfyVx71XK5vNLFFMj-qY/s1600/IMG_2847blog.jpg"><img style="display:block;

What an awesome feeling! It's crazy to think about the first time I stepped onto a plane with both boys by myself. It was January of 09'- Kyle had left for Pensacola four days earlier. Shea was 8 weeks old and cuddled in my sling and Layne was 23 months...old enough to walk, but young enough to be a little too stubborn to fully cooperate. It felt as if we were leaving our whole world behind. It was hard.</div><div><br /></div><div>The past two years have been an adventure, a refreshing reminder, an unforseen answer. We have held tight to each other while making major decisions, weathering the storms and going through the every day...together. We are stronger, better, closer to each other and to God- because of the surprise that came our way almost two years ago. I am thankful for it. For the many lessons I have learned...for the independence I have gained. I am thankful for my husband, for my two children and for the love that God has shown during these years. There were days we cried...longing to be with sick relatives, new babies we had not met, and those we know all to well- but just wanted to kiss their face. But there were more days of happiness- days spent together, doing things and going places we never imagined experiencing. Nothing out of the ordinary- just different non-the-less.</div><div><br /></div><div>We are glad to be home. Home brings many comforts we haven't felt in quite a while. The feeling of stability and knowing your children will be able to grow up with family close by. Home is definitely not just a place- rather where your heart longs to be. We want to be here...this is where our hearts reside...this is home. I wish I could say for forever...but we all know how God's little plans can catch you off guard.</div><div><br /></div><div>Now for a little update. I am happy to say that I have had an overwhelming response to my coming home/ and my photography special. I am booked. Yay! I will though announce a second special mid- December. It will be good for January and February.</div><div><br /></div><div>I will leave you with some pics I recently took of my oldest little man. Enjoy.</div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqwUsBePpGlIKK50_seKABHHBGMcFYVuVwTVaL-e75FEeL-dudOzFq5qJxB_5xULhpMCLGKmYb2ByEw271vWvrqBA7RBWAMsaHzze31U81n66QUee_JPImmDdoTM8K5OCQMpzGF34hgezH/s1600/IMG_2176blog.jpg"><img style="display:block;

I am soooo excited I can't see straight. It has been a long few months as Kyle and I have prayed and talked about the job opportunity that is bringing us home. We were really in search for Gods will for our family- but in the end- only learned that Gods will is not a specific place or thing, but rather the knowledge and wisdom to keep your priorities in line and choose based on what is best for your family...always keeping him first, of course. We are definitely stepping out in faith...but know that God promises to take care of those who trust and follow him.</div><div style="text-align: center;">So...to celebrate this long awaited homecoming, I have decided to offer my photography clients an awesome special. I'd like to think of it as a "I'm coming home"/ It's officially fall/ It's Christmas card time very "special" special.</div><div><br /></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjulRq3l7zoRnFT77q3isS08FXyoN1P1ixyZmN4ey4z_KiwSYj7xswTkK-hIUrZCvyttdrz0dpPdkjwBk4689DrvZJfsoszFjK72E81HcMjzRYVRwMF8-nAPt9xl9HpXo4i4VwjvifK4sYF/s640/blogspecial.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5535156655292413746" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;">I am so excited that I get to focus on my business again.

Lots to do. So- Sunday when I sat down to make my weekly meal plan I was stuck. I wanted things that were easy to throw together, but still tasty- knowing I had a crazy week ahead and that I was a little tired of relying on my same ol' recipes. After a little blogging I stumbled upon <a href="http://www.easymealsformom.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Easy Meals for Moms</span></a>. I quickly found three recipes that tempted my taste buds and left me eager to visit the site again. Now I wouldn't call any of these recipes "gourmet" so to speak- but if your a mom who has to feed a herd of demanding mouths- these will definitely do the trick...and taste GREAT. So far this week I have made dirty rice (ground turkey, bell pepper, onion, celery and Zatarans rice), Chicken Enchilada Casserole (definitely not my moms recipe, but totally different and oh so yummy) and tonight we're having Cream Cheese Chicken served over vermicelli pasta. It's in the crock-pot now and smelling awesome. I would recommend all three of these meals........and know I will be visiting <a href="http://www.easymealsformoms.com/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF6600;">Easy Meals for Moms</span></a> again very soon.

They all have one thing in common...they make me smile. </div><div><br /></div><div>Memaw is a breath of fresh air in a world of hatred, anger and selfishness. She is the most loving and giving woman I have ever met. Memaw is currently battling Alzheimer's. Even on the bad days she can somehow make you smile...even laugh. These pictures represent what a beautiful person she is inside and out, and how she loves. Words can not describe how much she means to her family...to me. </div><div><br /></div><div>The pics of my boys were not planned. The one of L, obviously taken first, was on a family trip to Idaho. This past Christmas I was unpacking from a trip to TX and caught S sitting in my suitcase (as most curious tots do) and going through my stuff. I remembered that I had taken a pic of L exactly like this and thought I should have one of S as well. It wasn't until a month ago when I compared these pics side by side that I realized they both have on the same pajamas. Crazy. (If I did know at the time- I don't remember. I don't remember much these days. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna be like in 20 years- I blame it on my kids). </div><div><br /></div><div>The other pics are pretty self explanatory. I love the flowers not only because they are beautiful and white, but they are taken at my home in TX. The one of Jax takes me back. When he was a pup Kyle decided to take him to "hunting" school. We boarded him there for six weeks :(. Guess what- now he's gun shy. All that time and money right down the drain. Anyways- he is a pointer- they are bred for locating birds and standing just like this. He would do this to the birds flying around our backyard all the time. LOL...he's so cute. We miss our Jaxy.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sorry for the randomness today. I just thought I would share these simple photos that made me happy. I hope you find something that makes you smile today. </div><div><br /></div><div>P.S. Something else made me smile today. The boys and I were hanging out on the porch today after school eatin' some Cheetos when L said <i>Mom, member what happened on the third day? God made the plant, the trees and the flowers. And on the fourth day he made the sun and the moon and the stars. </i>I was sort of stunned...amazed at not only the lessons he was actually learning in school, but his memory as well. I thought I would test him a bit- thinking for sure he wouldn't know the others. I asked him what happened on the first day. He said <i>mmmmmmm, mmmmm, mmmm, oh, God made the light and the dark.</i><b> OMG- </b>I am a proud mamma bear right about now. :)</div><div><br /><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-45357497138599409322010-09-15T11:12:00.000-07:002010-09-15T11:20:15.052-07:00Before it Breaks<div>Every once in a while I run across a song so amazing that I want to listen to it over and over. This is one of those songs. I'm not quite sure how long You Tube will allow me to keep this on my site. Last time it was only a few days. I have only recently discovered this original singer- songwriter. Her voice makes me want to close my eyes and drift off into a deep sleep. There is something so authentic about the way she sings. I love her. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.</div><div><br /></div><object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKDYvEXWXTc?fs=1&hl=en_US"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fKDYvEXWXTc?fs=1&hl=en_US" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object><br /><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-85680002090957119732010-09-14T14:12:00.000-07:002010-09-14T17:19:30.251-07:00pretty fabric for my dishes<div>I came across this <a href="http://www.flythroughourwindow.com/2009/09/rockin-quiltin-leavin/">post</a> at <i>fly through our window</i> for a dishmat and then eventually found this <a href="http://www.lifeingraceblog.com/2009/10/12-days-of-handmade-christmas-tutorials-day-1-dishmat.html">tutorial</a> at <i>life in grace</i> for the same dishmat. What's a dishmat you say??? I was wondering the same thing when I stumbled upon it...but it's rather genius. I know around my house we always dirty an extra dish towel or two when we let the dishes air dry. This is perfect for leaving out all week and tossing in the wash on laundry day. You can also use it above your dishwasher to set dishes on as you unload them. The terrycloth layer below your fabric soaks up the water and leaves your counter spotless. My version is only slightly different from the above tutorial. I didn't want mine to be quite as big, so I left out a few strips of fabric. The best part was that I made it in just a few hours. If you enjoy this sort of thing it will be well worth your time. </div><div><br /></div><div>P.S. I may have to make a few extras for some Christmas gifts...hmmm...I wonder who would like one of these?!?</div><div><br /></div><div>Hope you like!:)</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilG3ZPsQdPGd6gedOxwHaJ3YW3f-biD5TIFFi6-FdzBtmqQZuPCt5ZO81NP9O6AtQvw7dKaSJ4TYcu86faoCnm0xxhP_SBGOIDJR5yrmpAstRszYhId2_vMkm8PHsuOphdtUgWv0Hjl_IJ/s1600/IMG_0268b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilG3ZPsQdPGd6gedOxwHaJ3YW3f-biD5TIFFi6-FdzBtmqQZuPCt5ZO81NP9O6AtQvw7dKaSJ4TYcu86faoCnm0xxhP_SBGOIDJR5yrmpAstRszYhId2_vMkm8PHsuOphdtUgWv0Hjl_IJ/s640/IMG_0268b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516880865683749074" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUhZiky0Mke7nzobQW58VPIG1II3ztzP9iwznVND4-q4K_Jp50XPkPp6TzPCrD26pfor_ddpSEk9lnufRRGkveXkFPosnLTLYyJs3JKoQoeSdqnGd4IT2qHr5sMISOcR43zNZi47aPZID/s1600/IMG_0267b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKUhZiky0Mke7nzobQW58VPIG1II3ztzP9iwznVND4-q4K_Jp50XPkPp6TzPCrD26pfor_ddpSEk9lnufRRGkveXkFPosnLTLYyJs3JKoQoeSdqnGd4IT2qHr5sMISOcR43zNZi47aPZID/s640/IMG_0267b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516880797666277554" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgA6NyOtvH4Gk_aghgJuZyol8CLts9JbuU9GSIsw8NPjgD9fYZ1KuURumUtZzp1LaRJZfD00vs3MLcyyhb1TkCipNTZsFPtpq1JEWMZgdlrSrzHsKV-q36WuKCfQsuthj6cX63NFHSZGWa/s1600/IMG_0343b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgA6NyOtvH4Gk_aghgJuZyol8CLts9JbuU9GSIsw8NPjgD9fYZ1KuURumUtZzp1LaRJZfD00vs3MLcyyhb1TkCipNTZsFPtpq1JEWMZgdlrSrzHsKV-q36WuKCfQsuthj6cX63NFHSZGWa/s640/IMG_0343b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516880793307459042" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqPLW9qAoFH2Xsv8e99oKviOMKkYb6LP8kvy3HiMRqAzbv0vDVd2WSXGlPKZ1jnj9qNG1WtPl6E3WlExQspKdN6AnRpTsrKygfcDJ-fEDd8boX4Ni0PpjIiDv5iNmiqSVyJ9U1IAomRRmz/s1600/IMG_0291b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqPLW9qAoFH2Xsv8e99oKviOMKkYb6LP8kvy3HiMRqAzbv0vDVd2WSXGlPKZ1jnj9qNG1WtPl6E3WlExQspKdN6AnRpTsrKygfcDJ-fEDd8boX4Ni0PpjIiDv5iNmiqSVyJ9U1IAomRRmz/s640/IMG_0291b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5516880772462466386" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-57258093029420744092010-09-10T11:26:00.000-07:002010-09-10T11:52:03.546-07:00If $$$ grew on trees...<div>this all would be mine. Forget the fact that I don't have a daughter to dress- I would give it to my sweet niece. This past weekend in Pensacola my friend handed me a kids <a href="http://www.jcrew.com">J. Crew</a> catalog to thumb through...it was love at first sight. I've never bought anything from this store- and to be honest, have never really given it much attention. How dare she get me hooked. :) I just love the feminine soft look of the heather grey cami paired with the petal pink cardigan- oh, AND THE NECKLACES...love them. I think it's the simplicity of these outfits that just suck me in- I see the woman- and not just the clothes. The older, uh, or- more mature I get- the more I love a beautiful, but simple wardrobe. It's about you shining through as an individual not as much about your clothes making a statement for you. </div><div>Don't get me started on this little girls adorable outfit. This is the quintessential look for <i>tomboys with style. </i>I was never a tom-boy, but I would wear this or dress my daughter/ niece in this in a heartbeat. The shoes with the hat kill me...it's great.</div><div>The boys clothes just scream cool. Now- I know it's not important that at the young age of 2 or 3 you should worry about your child being cool, but seriously...these shirts would even be super cute on Diego. </div><div>Now- If only that tree in the back would bloom... </div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqayLrRfS2iN16jd6PAqpBE2UOUEqozX0YPrb21w3rN3e6K45-gyUGOuszWigLQql02lpkeZ8BSGdegCqNXLfqnx8hc58EeIkXpbPPRFVI-vS0sqNvXhXJxFrWQ8zdhXM7Gm45envQikx0/s1600/JCREWBLOG.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqayLrRfS2iN16jd6PAqpBE2UOUEqozX0YPrb21w3rN3e6K45-gyUGOuszWigLQql02lpkeZ8BSGdegCqNXLfqnx8hc58EeIkXpbPPRFVI-vS0sqNvXhXJxFrWQ8zdhXM7Gm45envQikx0/s640/JCREWBLOG.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5515353329462079042" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-13771626448887987682010-09-08T10:35:00.001-07:002010-09-08T11:09:36.244-07:00Cars, Planes & Polka Dots<div>As a follow up to my inspiration post for L's big boy room- here it is. The room isn't complete in my mind, but for now it's as good as it's going to get. We are currently in a rental and I can't paint the walls a color of my choice (which would probably be a shade of light blue/grey or white). The furniture is my brothers and probably won't be L's for much longer- so I didn't want to change the knobs on the dresser out (or repair the missing one). I would also love to see a big rug in this room...again, an investment that I'm not willing to make in our temporary state.

I lost the other one (go figure)- and I sure wasn't going to be stuck in the car with two toddlers for 6.5 hours with no DVD player. Before I left, lunch entered my mind. I'm not sure why because it was only 9:30. I knew we were out of bread at home, so I couldn't make a sandwich, nothing else we had sounded good and I didn't want to eat fast food. The obvious answer would have been to buy a loaf of bread...but, we are leaving early in the morning and we will be gone for four days- and I really didn't want a whole loaf of bread to go bad before we could finish it off. So- I popped down the frozen food isle in search for something...something that didn't look blah. I grabbed this not quite sure if it was going to be trashcan worthy or edible. Let me just tell you- I would eat this again. Is it gourmet? No. But it was actually good. For all of those frozen food fans out there- this one gets a thumbs up from me.

Don't be scared to get close. Also- when taking pictures of kids don't forget to get on their level. An image definitely does not have the same appeal taken from an adults view as oppose to laying on the floor to capture the moment. If you want to get creative with your skills- move around the room until you find a unique angle...maybe one you wouldn't have normally thought of. Don't forget that by placing your subject in front of a window or door you will allow the most light to hit his/her precious face. If you are wanting that bright white skin- this is a must. Also- if you have a nice camera, but are not shooting in manual...I challenge you to learn. You will love the results once you get the hang of it.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeol-1b1-EEA0hylvzqfGFwThctMoQYy_CpooZ5efm0sqtylSfWDJIjzNaoLtfjn57VWEIApE-K3kOMSCfMcMw4Sai4xijfZlHGMFXGiqWcbIkSYkKoMqZZiQhOZEoDtHyNiZSm53bp9CG/s1600/IMG_0356b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeol-1b1-EEA0hylvzqfGFwThctMoQYy_CpooZ5efm0sqtylSfWDJIjzNaoLtfjn57VWEIApE-K3kOMSCfMcMw4Sai4xijfZlHGMFXGiqWcbIkSYkKoMqZZiQhOZEoDtHyNiZSm53bp9CG/s640/IMG_0356b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511977699031692242" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCckdLXa1cXYlL3W_0cpOzDd8e5ue1Hon56nQZ_pZTt-51gWnfN52R5dWKvbi-cZajmdnRSQ4zh7au6nW3APoZi2KoJBNMTcKjgWcAWIAq9-E6Y1f-waOn_jRso9yQl4Y2np6KvSQMc8iM/s1600/IMG_0315b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCckdLXa1cXYlL3W_0cpOzDd8e5ue1Hon56nQZ_pZTt-51gWnfN52R5dWKvbi-cZajmdnRSQ4zh7au6nW3APoZi2KoJBNMTcKjgWcAWIAq9-E6Y1f-waOn_jRso9yQl4Y2np6KvSQMc8iM/s640/IMG_0315b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511977695449953602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglsKUY-DmGbklv4vGPLrARjm3Prez_RhY5bgDucWVFIsg3qU8S-i67LeThr3hTBO4HGY2yVAYv3MsR17v4QYtfby0VUN2p4RBV-9F9IrmYjSDOIVWweOTecb_G_cm23eMrhqHxCkpbYSaV/s1600/IMG_0264b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglsKUY-DmGbklv4vGPLrARjm3Prez_RhY5bgDucWVFIsg3qU8S-i67LeThr3hTBO4HGY2yVAYv3MsR17v4QYtfby0VUN2p4RBV-9F9IrmYjSDOIVWweOTecb_G_cm23eMrhqHxCkpbYSaV/s640/IMG_0264b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511977690903335874" /></a><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div> </div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-77910573582489917852010-08-31T05:04:00.001-07:002010-08-31T05:04:32.652-07:00Where Do You Blog?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEics63_wXrCyylk8aYbgkdiJZO11e2TBiOASAMZ7TeSbSzYMz0ZCwwwxJwCARsCgifQGbPUBntDn7nSCfnDWj6S54sgGcJaANuHzMBJbJNu9bjlfO7FyG2yWa1-2n8fhxbtftgR60qJ4QMW/s1600/ladybloggerbutton_thumb1.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEics63_wXrCyylk8aYbgkdiJZO11e2TBiOASAMZ7TeSbSzYMz0ZCwwwxJwCARsCgifQGbPUBntDn7nSCfnDWj6S54sgGcJaANuHzMBJbJNu9bjlfO7FyG2yWa1-2n8fhxbtftgR60qJ4QMW/s400/ladybloggerbutton_thumb1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511403380687878610" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 328px; height: 204px; " /></a><br /><div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjR54bjqWSSSLln83s8PfgIhe4DCDfzy4Aq6_NhYdaB5p-xj4h29uL43ruZOOi_SNwJAGTWrlsU2nnNLEUzeQ7xUd6P3xPoPpCWllx3jUkXal7IcAJSzmy2M6BGqiA6emxMUda-QTbfvjb1/s640/deskblog.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511403389022496882" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; " /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><br /></span></div><div>So I decided to link up to the Where do you blog? blog party over on the <a href="http://www.centsationalgirl.com/">Centsational Girl</a> site. My space is definitely not ideal- being in the same room as the kitchen, eating area, living room and play room. It is convenient for being able to keep my eye on things at all times, but I do miss having a space of my own. We are currently renting a home- therefore I can not alter the space to my liking. I definitely have learned to make it my own though by using fabrics, accessories and furniture. You can find me sitting at this desk in the morning while eating my two bowls of honey bunches of oats, during about an hour of nap-time and then again after my chillins' hit the hay. I am addicted to the blog world... but try to remind myself that there is more to life than sitting in front of this machine. Why is it so easy to get sucked in???</div><div><br /></div></div><div>There you have it...my sunshine yellow office/everything else room, adorned with pics of my loves.</div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://s809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/?action=view&current=signature.png" target="_blank"><img src="http://i809.photobucket.com/albums/zz11/kyudizky/signature.png" border="0" alt="Photobucket" /></a></div>shadesofgreykevyn.blogspot.comhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05948484901361401659noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7431369951006576349.post-64421602568692511992010-08-30T12:43:00.000-07:002010-08-30T13:37:29.213-07:00Baking for the Baking Challenged: Betty's Chocolate Cream Pie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjxnRF6vDrCgWYp-p64g-whPCgRgik718yl-tMhtpDJb1aZrhnJlAx_CY5aT75QmsGPuGYy_uXwx06jhgvvHCD_gmClJATj_buVwbrZY4UezTOuMiN_va1d6NbVdRm-UKPEwhplUtT3PV/s1600/IMG_0216b.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000000;">I don't bake...well, I do, sometimes, but I probably shouldn't. I can't even warm a loaf of bread without burning it...Kyle will attest to that. Cooking's more my thing- you can just throw whatever sounds good in a pot without measuring, and call it dinner. With baking, there's all that "preciseness" that I'm definitely not good with. I'm not really precise about much. As hard as I try- I'm alway a few minutes late (I hate that), I can't cut a straight line to save my life and I can't seem to follow through with the whole laundry process. Ya know- wash, dry, fold AND put away. I would like to think of myself as just a laid-back, free spirit...yea yea...I'll just keep telling myself that so all of the above will be okay in my mind. So- while I probably shouldn't bake, I love the challenge. I love the finished product. It makes me feel a little more like a REAL mom. And every once in a while I am actually proud of the results- although, I definitely did a few of my usual dummy moves while baking this pie. It didn't matter though because in the end this pie was awesome- if I must say so myself. I couldn't believe how much my boys LOVED it. They couldn't wait for desert and my oldest even said it was better than cookies or cupcakes. WOW! That makes me smile! So- here it is, my favorite pie EVER- please try...you'll be glad you did.</span></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjxnRF6vDrCgWYp-p64g-whPCgRgik718yl-tMhtpDJb1aZrhnJlAx_CY5aT75QmsGPuGYy_uXwx06jhgvvHCD_gmClJATj_buVwbrZY4UezTOuMiN_va1d6NbVdRm-UKPEwhplUtT3PV/s1600/IMG_0216b.jpg"></a></span><br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjxnRF6vDrCgWYp-p64g-whPCgRgik718yl-tMhtpDJb1aZrhnJlAx_CY5aT75QmsGPuGYy_uXwx06jhgvvHCD_gmClJATj_buVwbrZY4UezTOuMiN_va1d6NbVdRm-UKPEwhplUtT3PV/s1600/IMG_0216b.jpg"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; "></span><img style="text-align: left;display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; cursor: pointer; " src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFjxnRF6vDrCgWYp-p64g-whPCgRgik718yl-tMhtpDJb1aZrhnJlAx_CY5aT75QmsGPuGYy_uXwx06jhgvvHCD_gmClJATj_buVwbrZY4UezTOuMiN_va1d6NbVdRm-UKPEwhplUtT3PV/s640/IMG_0216b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511293961111754306" /></a><br />My goal was to make two pies...since the package came with two...I never said I made the crust from scratch too!<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGSko_8TBCuFjplx8XJfbw-lJzMb_tUaaNWkgc_XdEGCda0ldR755zMJvSSwq2lsrfbfjPtmHkFivu2VqD0Hl2Hm9DQGslQ0IAlmqjYPapcA1Z2R_jHOWyQ2sBsv1u3XT99iV00G5C9lY/s1600/IMG_0219b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbGSko_8TBCuFjplx8XJfbw-lJzMb_tUaaNWkgc_XdEGCda0ldR755zMJvSSwq2lsrfbfjPtmHkFivu2VqD0Hl2Hm9DQGslQ0IAlmqjYPapcA1Z2R_jHOWyQ2sBsv1u3XT99iV00G5C9lY/s640/IMG_0219b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511293947489239986" /></a>Dummy move #1: I forgot to double the recipe.............idiot!<div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGqpZxMRKdFdZ5fana8pll1oXbes36jzK9-7z-3muOu3C2gEx94R3E9VIwUw-lHzUyyL2eI_D9PEgNSCq5YVs4MqVPf-ptHeL0dsEZ-8x0z9jfbIVHyoV5s65oF_m0q4ZuZine15qAzEl-/s1600/IMG_0221b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGqpZxMRKdFdZ5fana8pll1oXbes36jzK9-7z-3muOu3C2gEx94R3E9VIwUw-lHzUyyL2eI_D9PEgNSCq5YVs4MqVPf-ptHeL0dsEZ-8x0z9jfbIVHyoV5s65oF_m0q4ZuZine15qAzEl-/s640/IMG_0221b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511293927676381090" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhlqUtJF6FGbJ7fd3nHlMILsvFgRI6qhOvQvPG5T85uf5q0cKV6Myx0O7ddx3g7nPuD5ywho2PBtsbmOasmfUAlRjBJ9AwYDkksAseoO-yi9a0OO7U-VAhWMtnkTLSVLxOh8ee4HBkig_/s1600/IMG_0222b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWhlqUtJF6FGbJ7fd3nHlMILsvFgRI6qhOvQvPG5T85uf5q0cKV6Myx0O7ddx3g7nPuD5ywho2PBtsbmOasmfUAlRjBJ9AwYDkksAseoO-yi9a0OO7U-VAhWMtnkTLSVLxOh8ee4HBkig_/s640/IMG_0222b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511293918320472466" /></a>I was pretty sure I had done something wrong because I thought the chocolate was NEVER gonna melt.

Now- for some this is okay...moving in your stuff and just living, but for me, it's sadness. There's no painting walls, painting cabinets, building things, etc...instead I must find happiness in the room arrangement, choice of fabrics, pillows and wall hangings. I no longer can get tired of the paint color and run to Lowe's for a quick can of <i>pick me up</i>. I think Kyle used to secretly role his eyes when he would come home to find me with yet another can of paint...painting who knows what. I can't help it though, its just part of who I am...the seeker of design perfection for my home and family. I could eat, sleep and breathe this design stuff...the fabric, the furniture, the architecture, the colors, etc...ect...MY NAME IS KEVYN AND I AM A DESIGNAHOLIC. I know- cheesy, but that's how I feel. I go to bed thinking about how I will decorate my next house, when I have free reign to do whatever I want. (sad- I know) Now- please don't get me wrong, I am not admitting to be <i>good</i> at all this- I just <b>love it</b>. But, boy, you better watch out because all these bottled up ideas may explode when I get my next chance. So...anyway, after living in a fully furnished condo for a year (talk about torture for me), and now a beautiful carriage house, but a rental non-the-less, I felt L needed a more personal space of his own. A few months back I began to collect inspiration images and then decided on a plan. My mom came into town and we were on the hunt for all the items on my list and I even had her bring my sewing machine (in a small rolling suitcase) on the plane with her. I made a few pillow cases and curtain panels with some fabric bought from <a href="http://www.fabricworm.com/">fabric worm</a>. It took us the four days she was in town- but we did it. I did the best I could without being able to paint the walls or the furniture (which is my brothers)...it's definitely not what it would look like if I had free reign, but I do love it. I still want to add a few more touches- so I'm not going to post his room quite yet, instead I will leave you with the images I found for my inspiration.</div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhocxTik2MXMi93J7Nxn9anRjX8rQniifsIQhVHjVU_UHV0v9x-fY0_ySWF0SV6LJlq9czYc-PwW2EkMoypMzaoNWG5fe6bO8xpz1hjgxPG67Qz2gbmcL6ayk8ax8Rq6zRPYZKpOCV6jKEL/s1600/2010-05-circus1_rect540.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhocxTik2MXMi93J7Nxn9anRjX8rQniifsIQhVHjVU_UHV0v9x-fY0_ySWF0SV6LJlq9czYc-PwW2EkMoypMzaoNWG5fe6bO8xpz1hjgxPG67Qz2gbmcL6ayk8ax8Rq6zRPYZKpOCV6jKEL/s400/2010-05-circus1_rect540.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164988851784370" /></a><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oEjLtLye9LldeCDXsc-I_NgNVQqU6B1eU-cyhvLYV8tCWSS5KQmelOSbK7ZlazaC3613QWBC-7K_BvBYewJsYescm7rMmlgy1UKycVtFmWwkg1LMbSW-6uFawy9U4AdapR9yV62tL4YZ/s1600/2010-04-jett1_rect540.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3oEjLtLye9LldeCDXsc-I_NgNVQqU6B1eU-cyhvLYV8tCWSS5KQmelOSbK7ZlazaC3613QWBC-7K_BvBYewJsYescm7rMmlgy1UKycVtFmWwkg1LMbSW-6uFawy9U4AdapR9yV62tL4YZ/s400/2010-04-jett1_rect540.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164403335990530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZkXp-OvIAGzKYsHmoDhhmfWLE0lsZIwLxo2pA8ub2osAw1d3g878bmm5vdpD6xgCToaV7Z8tlrkRjewh86GmYlSHJSzQlbmbDAcaIZh6x6hWwKSBcCnrOGjEwoYfwdjLif-bgLIYZ2k_/s1600/bedroomfeb281.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZkXp-OvIAGzKYsHmoDhhmfWLE0lsZIwLxo2pA8ub2osAw1d3g878bmm5vdpD6xgCToaV7Z8tlrkRjewh86GmYlSHJSzQlbmbDAcaIZh6x6hWwKSBcCnrOGjEwoYfwdjLif-bgLIYZ2k_/s400/bedroomfeb281.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164396178369794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYSsN80TiNbmK3yzODdCnen4aeRAXYXBQsNQHTenGh6kwR75B0ySrHWdwD4wrP69StBeQnArXi7z9FBCli0h8LVtl7uIyl95FPpeeuzJnKp47IR-HHCeol8f_KFVqwlP2W2edcCNLe_i28/s1600/tumblr_l5terdGS9Q1qatvvoo1_500.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 317px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYSsN80TiNbmK3yzODdCnen4aeRAXYXBQsNQHTenGh6kwR75B0ySrHWdwD4wrP69StBeQnArXi7z9FBCli0h8LVtl7uIyl95FPpeeuzJnKp47IR-HHCeol8f_KFVqwlP2W2edcCNLe_i28/s400/tumblr_l5terdGS9Q1qatvvoo1_500.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164392495284210" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UxMpPvZLaYwQs6kDARldVH5_k3_gQQY_8snOqeAQJ9nbLrN4T4D9U847mvxH-4XPRQGkRYZ1qgq3kSiO-k9dapXYAJBsJ0WCM3X3m8iKfWN8H8Nuk7wqHfYEJxX1EblKuf4gJcdScXfd/s1600/tumblr_l02eh3CdgH1qzcqoro1_500.png"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 398px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6UxMpPvZLaYwQs6kDARldVH5_k3_gQQY_8snOqeAQJ9nbLrN4T4D9U847mvxH-4XPRQGkRYZ1qgq3kSiO-k9dapXYAJBsJ0WCM3X3m8iKfWN8H8Nuk7wqHfYEJxX1EblKuf4gJcdScXfd/s400/tumblr_l02eh3CdgH1qzcqoro1_500.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164388159166562" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oNUS5Rewv9F-PJJIbDnyLGzfcJ08qj8dXoQ-B4rES51iuOgyXQOr_IbxDmAK34eMMxNmgBMvsoQo4oZXmYv9EVGTko_rxANHnpteqRTxPjyQ9oyOoHFStqjnL1edM9vgE6E5thzjq0ez/s1600/tumblr_kvm1qyw1NN1qzun2so1_500.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 309px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6oNUS5Rewv9F-PJJIbDnyLGzfcJ08qj8dXoQ-B4rES51iuOgyXQOr_IbxDmAK34eMMxNmgBMvsoQo4oZXmYv9EVGTko_rxANHnpteqRTxPjyQ9oyOoHFStqjnL1edM9vgE6E5thzjq0ez/s400/tumblr_kvm1qyw1NN1qzun2so1_500.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5509164381348328562" /></a><br /><div>P.S.
