Our Monster likes to burrow into the clothes and then fall asleep sticking his head out

This is our first camp out being married. and first ever. We went with Charles and Nancy Teitjen.

The Next morning while everyone else was still asleep.

Morning!

Joey!!!

The whole Family!

New Frontiers.

The Joey is so small! Its eyes are still closed, but it's feeling pretty adventurous. 

We think that it is a girl. though were still not a 100% sure.

This was the last Construction Drawing that I did for 110. this is a character from Gundam. It is actually a model that I put together about four to five years ago.

This was the second to last Csct Drawing. I had previously done Optimus Prime, so of course, I had to do the villain! 

This was the first  Csct Drawing I did of a actual toy. I think this one is my favorite. He even has the Autobot Matrix of Leadership inside his chest if you look close enough.

This is from my sculptor 280 class. it is called a tromp oli. I think that's how you spell it. anyway, it is supposed to look just like the real thing. and since my first Chuck Taylor evaporated in the high school kiln, so I decided to pull it off right this time.

So I'm taking Art 110 from Dad. And so far only a couple people know that I am his son. the ones who know are sworn to secrecy, why? for fun I guess. Any way this was my first design drawing. and you can tell that I have a long way to go to make good designs. good news is that I at least can draw way better now than when I started.

I finally gave in and drew toys. I had one before this that had a lot of screwy things about it, so I won't post it. It always took me forever trying to come up with something to draw. I have a shelf full of these posseable figures. but I didn't want to draw them for my assignment thinking that that wouldn't be appropriate or something. anyway, I'm glad that I did.

Here was my last attempt at a design composition. I tried to include Dom/sub, alignment, rep and variation, and what not. I hope you like it.

This was my first Construction drawing. It is supposed to be a camera battery charger.

I got tired of the whole single rectangle shape. so I started to draw things that I liked.

This is our new Joey, I think that it's a boy, but it is still to early to tell since it is still in the development stage even though its left the pouch. Jelly keeps the critter safe in the new nesting box while she eats and exercises. Usually Icarus will keep an eye out.

This is Grandma Helen's old 1955 bel air that Jade restored. He pick up Grandma in it and then drove her to the reunion in blackfoot, and I got to take a couple pic.s

I actually had time to clean my house this weekend! It felt soooo good. While I was cleaning it, though, I was thinking about how funny it is that I live in a trailer-and I like it! I thought my sister Heidi was crazy when her and her husband were first thinking about it- but when Troy and I got married, we liked the idea so much that we bought hers! Well actually we bought another one first and then bought Heidi's and moved into it in March. It has a lot more space and a shed. It beats renting an apartment with more space for about the same price- with a yard where we can plant a garden and everything. I think it feels homey.I wanted to post a picture of our pretty new carpet and the matching couches (Thanks Haley, if you ever want them back, just let us know). I'm so spoiled

My project in between semesters will be to touch up the bedroom, it just needs a few things.We got a kitten and named him Monster a few months ago and he can hardly stand to let me cook without wanting attention. Troy calls him a parrot.

Here's the new and very large glider mansion. It's good for them to have lots of space and it actually doesn't smell as bad as a smaller cage.

Here's Monster and his brother Henry who Rachel, my little sister adopted.
They have a love-pester relationship.

I wanted to show off a variety of Troy's artwork. He really has talent! He's taking a drawing class and a sculpting class right now, and wants to do a little photography

For all of you who asked if Jelly had cancer, here's the proof that her lump was a joey. You can see the tail and part of the body in this picture It's just starting to explore out side of the pouch and it's SO cute (this picture looks kind of gross, but it really is a cute little thing). It reaches out of the pouch and holds onto our fingers. It's just so cool to finally see it!
