i suck!

i officially have posted more posts on my 365 blog than i have on this blog. and i've had this one for like 3 years!!! i'm such a lame-o!!!!!!

hats!!!

will someone please explain to me this stupid fascination with BASEBALL CAPS?!?!?!?!

yes, i understand this is strange coming from the girl who had baseball team colors for her wedding colors. i also understand showing love for your team. especially if they are the reining WORLD CHAMPIONS!!!!
but why do guys (it's mostly guys) have to wear them all the time?!?!?

are they hiding something?
-messy hair, which i think comes from the stupid things!
-baldness or balding?
-look at my hat...don't look at my___________(insert imperfection here)
does it serve as an accessory? just like girls have jewelry...is this boy jewelry?

here are the conditions i think it is ok for caps to be worn:
- in the shower :)
- at a ball game
-OUTSIDE on a sunny day
- as a part of a uniform

here are places they should NEVER be worn:
-church
-wedding
-funeral
-INSIDE a building
-AT THE DINNER TABLE
-restaurant

i find it incredibly rude when people wear their stupid baseball caps all over the place. and if you're asked to remove it, please remove it! this may possibly be the only thing that I'm old fashioned about?
i don't require having doors opened for me, people paying for me, putting a coat over a puddle, standing on the outside of the curb, pull out my chair, standing when i enter a room, calling me ma'am, tipping their hats...just take the stupid thing off!!!! when you enter a room, take off your hat!!!!
i realize that this is not the 1950's and no one really does this kinda stuff anymore. but i will teach these things to my kids!

don't wonder where i've been...

i decided to start a 365 log. so i take at least 1 photo a day...and at the end of the year...i have a pic of my year. pretty cool huh? here's the blog address:

live from 2010...

as promised...i still have to edit...and add...but here's my rough draft?


JANUARY:
In January I turned 25, and we both went back to school. i decided to finish my AA. Our good friends the Smiths had a baby girl! they named her Brenna Grace. get it? BR(andon)en(cristi)NA Brenna! :) so we took her big sister Emma for a few days while all the new baby drama went down.
We took Emma to watch the Princess and the Frog...she REALLY wanted to watch Avatar though!! hahah!!! Funniest 3 year old i know!

This is Me and Emma at the Hospital going to meet her new baby sister.



and this is us with the baby!!! the 1st non family to hold her!!! she was so small.


FEBRUARY:
My dad bought me an iPhone for my birthday late in Jan...Jan 30th actually. so in February i started bad habits of taking photos of random people...
this was FEBRUARY mind you, i know it doesn't get REALLY cold in Hayward, but this girl is ridiculous:

see what i mean?!?! she's nuts!!! also in feb we went to LDS night at the warriors! Warriors vs. Jazz...to be honest...i don't remember who won. See how into basketball we are? we're a baseball people!!


MARCH:
in march we turned 2 years old!!!! I went to school, came to work and these were delivered to me:

the boy did well! he knows that i LOVE LOVE LOVE orchids. i'd hope so...they were our wedding flowers. :/ also in march, i decided to dye my hair. i got this idea to have a section of hair and periodically change the color. throughout the year, its been a series of colors...but it all started with BLEACHING it...i had to bleach it 3 times to achieve this color...my poor locks, they hate me for it:


APRIL:
you ever have one of those months that you're always down? April was that for me. it's would have been my Grandpa's birthday. i miss him everyday! EVERYDAY!!! though when he was alive he lived here in the States, but when i was in High School...he moved back to Nicaragua. he passed away Dec 29th 2003 (the night before my moms bday. so april is always a sad month for me. one day i was at work and i was looking in my purse for my burts bees...and found this:

brandon must have known i was having a bad time and put these in there...because i certainly do not remember buying them.
Also, we have a tradition with the Rohner's. EASTER EVE!!!! it started on our wedding day. when the boys "decorated" Brandon's car...they used SHAVING CREAM! you can imagine how i felt about this...so we went home after the reception to change into normal clothes and headed over to the rohner's for them to hose the car off. we ended up staying to dye Easter eggs. so we now have this tradition that on Easter Eve we do easter eggs and have food.


i then made a Reggae egg...they called it a Regg-egg:


MAY:
on my dad's side of the family i'd say that 70% of my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc...have may birthdays. so instead of having a bday party everyday of the month, we've ALWAYS had a "May Birthdays" picnic.
this is a pic of my dad and his siblings. there were originally 18 of them...only 9 are left:


My Nephew LOVES cars:


and there's me and the sibs...minus nena. so basically, me and the boys:


JUNE:
in june...Brandon turned 25...we had a huge party at our place...my dad bought Brandon and himself an iPhone...it seemed to be the birthday gift of the year:

they're so funny with those things!!!

JULY:
was a big month!!! it started with...4th of july. typical Rohner/Uncle Lee party.
i just adore this picture!!! we call it 2.5 whites, 1 azn and .5 beaner!!!



we went to santa cruz with the baker's for brians bday:


couldn't decide which one i liked best.

we also went RIVER RAFTING with the YM/YW:


AUGUST:
as of right now seems like a blur... so here's this:
i went to Girls CAMP!!!


here's my hair's progression:


and an update of BABY BRENNA!!


and i have a sneaky suspicion that when Brandon and I have a kid...it will be a little more tan than Brenna:


SEPTEMBER:
September started with Labor day!
Labor Day BBQ/WATER FIGHT!!!!


OCTOBER:
MY GIANTS WENT TO THE WORLD SERIES!!!!
i have tons of pics that will be it's own post!!

in october SISTER BECKY ROHNER reported to the MTC!!!!
here we are at her OPEN HOUSE:


and here she is!!!!


NOVEMBER:
thanksgiving duh!!!
but my REALLY GREAT friend nicki got married!!!
i'd say that i clean up quite nicely!!


and then there's the other side of me that's a little less classy!!


and MR AND MRS JONATHAN MELDRUM:


DECEMBER...
well...i will edit this post later...

last minute present

Need a FUN and FAST Cristmas present? or just a present for any occasion i guess?
Brandon's work party is tomorrow and they drew names. Brandon being of the male species...hadn't gotten Jens anything. so i took matters into my own hands:



i just went to the dollar store and found this cute bucket. get it? BUCKet?!?! hahaha. then i got some yellow shredded paper to make it look like popcorn. then i made it over to the candy isle. got 6 or 7 different kids of candy. i was going to put a DVD in there with a pack of microwave popcorn...but i didn't know what movie they'd like. so LUCKILY, every time we go to costco, we buy a pair of movie tickets just to have. i made a card (made brandon write in it) and put the movie ticket vouchers in the card. he wrote "Merry Christmas guys!! hope you have a great time at the movies. Jens, make sure Lynetter brings her big purse when you go."
so instead of a stay in gift, its an all you need is beverages for a night out gift. does this even make sense?

i also made one for my best friend Bobby. everytime i ask him what he wants...he says, "just get me movie tickets"...so...ask and ye shall receive. i was out of fancy gift bags...so i happened to have yellow cellophane wrap...it goes well with the "Popcorn" theme though...



TOTAL COST:
Movie tickets: $16.00 (i think?)
Bucket $1.00
yellow paper $1.00
Candy $5.00-$6.00
____________________
about $23.00 and it was fast!!!

i'm a liar....i didn't come back like i said i would...

so...here's what i've realized. i don't blog because i spend most of my waking hours at work in front a computer. when i go home, the last place i want to be is...at the computer...so i don't blog. it no sooner occurred to me that i spend 75% of my time at work on facebook, reading various crafty blogs, reading perez, playing with whatever app was last loaded onto my phone...so if i'm already goofing off...why not just blog.
this morning before i left for work, i took my SD card out of my camera and put it in my pocket. i had this FANTASTIC idea of loading photos of this year onto the blog...the card however, only has pictures of Cristmas tree shopping. i had wiped the card off...after nicki's wedding.i do however plan on posting one picture per month...maybe tomorrow? i make no promises!
in the mean time...

I WON CONCERT TICKETS!!! to.....


i won them on the radio this morning!!! you can listen to it here:
