jackson (hole) + REAL photographs.

i kept meaning to show you some "real"pictures from jackson hole and yellowstone area, but then life keeps happening and then i neglect you.  so sorry, today, i am all over it - and on task.  hard to believe, i know.

i have a whole series of these, because he was really really cold and the snow was really really deep, and he had to run real fast and real light and i was bellied over laughing...there are like twenty more in this series...i'll spare you.
but first


i tried my best to catch a snowflake, this is the closest i got.  they were HUGE, maybe if i would have stopped jumping up and down, my quest might have proved more successful.  yeah, there's that.


the beauty, really, i couldn't get over it.
then we had

a tea party with shot glasses.
use what you have, right?


see, we were there together?  i am doing better about taking our picture and not just brads.
although...

doesn't this look like a green screen?  it so doesn't even look real.


he stole my heart and my sunglasses.

we headed to town late in the week with little bit in tow, pig tails and all.

i love how she places her little hand on his back.  she loves her some mister brad.



girlfriend does not stop talking.  ever.  ever.  and then i AM her nanny, sooo she gets it honest.


takes you a LOT longer to walk a block when you have to hug every bear on the square.


by the time we made it to the pizza shop, this nanny had lost all control.
clearly.

whatever.  not really, i am always in control.
did you even doubt me?

christmas, organizing and such.

shew.  since christmas i have organized, organized, organized...i am on a roll.  i have organized our hall closet, brads workout room, our bedroom, our bathroom closet, and the list goes on.  i am pretty proud of myself actually---and it will be nice to start the new year off organized.  clearly, i am not that organized if i am having TO organize, but i would like to think this next year i will do better, especially since there are two of us now to keep organized!

the problem i run into is, with my job as a nanny/assistant./housecleaner/whatever is i do this all day at work for a living so the last thing i want to do when i get home is do the same thing all over again.

so i don't.  

and then it leaves me in this predicament.

organizing my little self to death the week before a brand new year of a clean slate.

i like to think i am tricking 2012, making it think that i am all organized so it will be natural for me next year.  because 2012, oh...we are organized.  we are.  

i EVEN cleaned out my make up bag --- i am like out. of. control.

since i am uuuuubbbbbber organized now, i am finally going to get to reward myself with a trip to the container store, it just opened here in nashville and i have been needing a reason to go.  now i have one, because me and 2012 are organized.  and we need to go, um, get some organizational things.

oh yay!

christmas.  it was almost a week ago and what the intent was when writing this post, but then i got all braggy, and had to tell you how unorganized organized i really am.  but i am done with that now, and ready to dive back into christmas.

and go.

it was my first christmas as brads wife and one i will always remember.  i am so blessed by he and his sweet family that has made me feel like i have been around forever.  it is nice to feel and be so loved. and santa gives THE BEST stocking stuffers at is house too...

THE BEST.

and believe it or not, i have already unpacked those things and even have THEM organized and in their proper place.  

watch out, 2012.  watch out.

p.s.  friday i am going skiing for the FIRST TIME.  i am ex.cit.ed.  think it will be problematic if i need to change my camera lens for the perfect picture while gliding down the slopes?

you didn't?

me either.

just call me giselle.
