turn up your volume.

Redding continued.

This trip was very poorly documented, but...here's some slices of the rest of it. We celebrated Amy's birthday on one day, as affectionately displayed by the party hats and a mini bubble session and a hula hoop contest (not pictured). Lots of family posts lately. Um, I really love my family. And I will continue to share that with the worldwideweb when we have celebrations. Dear worldwideweb: you should celebrate things with your family.It helps your life.

Here's some of my soundtrack from the road. eesh.  (and if you're one of those types that don't make mixes, or play-lists, or even listen to music in the car...then you need to go to road-trip school) :

mewithoutyou: "in a sweater poorly knit"
bob dylan: "most likely you go your way"
local natives: "airplanes"
ray lamontagne: "burn"
nataly dawn: "book of love" cover
nickel creek: "young"
phil whickam: "youre beautiful"
john mark mcmillan: "i am a temple"
johnny cash: "gods gonna cut you down"
coldplay: "viva la vida"
loretta lynn: "high on the mountain top"
earthsuit: "said the sun to the shine"
arcade fire: "in the backseat"
jason upton & the goodland band: "mountain of the living god"
steel drivers: "on the blue side of the mountain"

road to redding

Im how you say: "weekend road tripping" with some of my family to redding, CA. We are here for this

So far, so awesome.

more to come.

quote unquote Fantastic

I've been patiently waiting to have this fantastic party. Patiently.

And it finally came to life.  I was in charge, so I made everyone make their own masks, and arrange their own foxy garb. 

Activity time kicked off the party, then costuming...then snack time. THEN we pressed play and laughed and smiled the whole time. 

I dare you to have your own Fantastic Mr. Fox party.

listening local

I like to check out what local bands are putting out there, and find out what kinds of sounds are coming out of the area. These guys are from Seattle.

dear blogosphere from the past,
I have to tell you something. 
Get ready for some foux da fa fa because soon I'm bringing some Kayla-esque FASHION action to this bl-izz-og.
sincerely, kayla from the future.
