gone crabbin'

As you're reading this, I'm probably in the truck, driving off to the coast for the weekend, to go crabbing with my daddy and uncle! :) There's gonna be 6 of us, and we can each get 10 crab a piece...so...we've got some potential. Dungeness crab, baby, here we come! 

So, I will not really be able to post. However, if you follow me on twitter (@KROLMEISTER) you may be able to still keep up with me :) 

But I just had to share this adorableness with you.

That is basically what she did allllllllllll day and alllllllllllll evening.

Gotta love one year olds.

Hope your thanksgiving was fantastic and that your weekend is too! :)

xoxo,

p.s. 

no, my mother is not beating my sister..she's just moving the hair from her face. typical mom move :) 

p.p.s.

remember how I said I was gonna show you the stuff I bought last weekend with my cousin? still gonna do that. just when I get home....this week was so busy! I promise I'll get em up before next Saturday! :)

this is what a 13 year old looks like...

Need I say more? Oh dear me. 

the flu. i.e.; the plague.

I'm sitting here, terrified. So incredibly terrified.

Today is my brother's 5th birthday, and guess what he woke up with? The flu. :( yep. The stomach flu no less. Now my baby sister has it too and I'm completely terrified I'm going to get it......NOOOOOOO!!!! 

And you know when you know someone has the flu, you get that feeling in your tummy of "oh crap I'm gonna throw up..."? yeah, that lovely little guy is chillin' in my tummy right now...NOT stoked at all.....

So. In my attempt to avoid the flu like it's the plague, I have found some really cool things on the interwebs.....observe.

A Vintage Inspired Love Story

Dark Chocolate Cupcakes with Peanut Butter Frosting

What to Wear to a Fall Wedding

I love this jacket. End of story.

The cutest ensemble ever. it's purple...and adorable. AH!

Look at this case! I am so in love! I may be getting an iPhone soon, and I have to tell you, this is in my top 10 favorite cases!!

But I love this one too :) I actually enjoyed reading the great gatsby; in a bittersweet kind of way. Hmm...

That's the end of my wandering the web while avoiding the plague. ha..we'll see if it worked....

Thursday morning edit:

Look at these cases too....gosh. I'm obsessed!

Legit, right? AHHH!

This one is from ModCloth....So awesome!

This one is from Case-Mate by Jessica Swift. So me.

And how do you not think this is awesome????? Seriously.

This is for you, Lauren...I think you would totally need this if you ever got an iPhone. Legit.

ahahahahah I WANT THIS :D so great.

SO cool...I love the camera ones. AH!

Okay. I'm done now. For reals.....

the dynamic duo.

Before my house became crowded with all my siblings, there were only two of us. observe.

this is me and my little brother, Jake. We're pretty much best friends. despite the many times we've threatened to throw knives at each other and run around the house chasing each other with my Woody doll...cause man. If you had the original Woody like I did, you know as well as I do how bad those boots hurt...anyway. I'll move away from violence.

Even after our sister was born, (and our brother..and our other sister..) it was still just kinda us, cause she was a baby, ya know? Momma called us "the dynamic duo"...it's stuck ever since.

[L] one month old jake and 2.5 year old me. [R] Jake and I in Canada. I was 7 and he was 4/5

chillin at Mimi's (love my vintage bathing suit/romper? it was legitimately something my Mimi kept from my mom and aunt...epic no?

Visiting my uncle in Idaho

 Front yard bike riding...together...what you don't see is the part after this where he turned around and yelled at me....muahahaha.

this is my "I'm mature" face and Jake's "hey mom! I'm pushing a stroller!!!!!!" face. we played with baby dolls a lot... particularly house.

 ah, ginger kids. 

coloring on the deck...we still have that table. yes. it's pretty amazing.

I saw a little mountain frog the other day while taking pictures (see below) and it reminded me of when my brother and I used to catch these little guys all the time. all the time.

and seeing this frog made me want to blog about my brother. because I love him and we're probably closer to each other than any of our other siblings, but that might be explained by the fact that we were the first two...eh, who knows. 

xoxo,

note: he just came up to me and asked me if I had more farting power than him today. it's safe to say that we  are no longer related. 

Adella Quinn is One

the day has arrived. my baby sister is ONE! Holy fettuccine! What's next, my brother turning five? Sister turning ten? Oh, yeah...that IS next...whooooooops.

 

I figured I'd show you some pictures of the lovely Adella from her first year of life.

I love this baby so much! Happy birthday, my sweet, sweet sister! You are so precious and my little bug! ♥
