Wants for sale

I have a hard time understanding art or at least understanding what good art is. Recently my good friend Amanda introduced me to this site, it is a couple in NYC who are trying to make a living as artists. They draw a painting of something that they want and then sell it for what it's worth, sometimes it is thousands of dollars and sometimes it is free. Here are some examples:


"A Slice Of Pepperoni" $3.00


"An iPhone" $432.42


They also turn New York trash into art.

I hope to one day participate in Christina and Justin's creative way to make money. I think its safe to say that I understand this kind of art :)

iPood

I would like to introduce Brennen Cade Ory, the brand new son of Theresa and Flint Ory:



I purchased this outfit for him because I couldn't resist, even though they have closets full of clothes from the 10 cousins he already has.

Way back in high school Theresa decided that Brennen would be the name of her first born son, I feel like I have known this kid forever! Congrats to the new parents! He is a lucky little boy :)

Hoop Shooter

This weekend we had the privilege to spend time with Shiloah, Holly, and Hooper J. On their last full day here they went suit shopping for the boys for the wedding (yes, with only two months until the wedding, the procrastination has shown its scary mug) while walking through the mall Hooper was encouraged by his parents (not grandma!) to try out the trampoline jump thingy.



I don't think the kid (now 2.5 years old) will have any troubles living up to the nick-name his favorite Uncle Heath gave him. The boy already has ups!

Heidi-Ho neighbor!

We have successfully met most of our neighbors. To add to the list we now have next door neighbor Rob and his two kids who drew us this wonderful picture and put it in our mailbox:

Thanks Megan! (age 6)

Megan's dog Lucy (not to be mistaken with my friend Megan and her daughter Lucy) loves to dig holes under the fence and come play with her new neighbors too! Lucy is a very little dog but she likes hanging with the big dogs in our yard. Of course this encouraged our female Abby to venture into her yard which is not so cool.

We also met the neighbors from across the street and were invited over for a fun evening of Pineapple infused vodka, and great conversation. I got a lesson in Mexican tequila, we shared stories of wine festivals, and we learned the ins and outs of Smithville and the neighborhood. They also let us know that they watched our house being built six years ago and assured us it was well done ;)

I am so excited for Spring/Summer!
