The Heideman Farm

We got our chicks on Sunday! Three Rhode Island Reds and two Welsummers and they are so adorable I can't even stand it. We got them a little late in the game so their feathers are already starting to come in. They should be all grown and laying eggs by October. We haven't given them any names yet. I'm hoping I can tell them apart better as they get bigger. If not, I'll just paint their toenails different colors and name them accordingly.

This little gal is obviously over me. But just makes me love her more. 

They aren't too keen on being held right now. Some chirp non-stop till I put them down and some just mad dog me. I asked Curtis if I should sleep by them the first night to make sure they were okay. I have fond childhood memories of my mom sleeping with her head in the kennel so our new puppy wouldn't be upset. Curtis gave me the side eye and gently reminded me that they were farm animals and they would be fine.

For now, we are keeping them in the garage in their makeshift home, a cardboard box with some sawdust shavings. The weird glow is from the heating lamp which makes them look radioactive. Perhaps with the next batch of chicks, I can experiment with actual radioactivity and create a race of super chickens that will follow my every command as we strike terror into the hearts of the citizens of Colorado.

 

Nothing like celebrating after a long day of chicken pickin'.

Back from the dead....

...with big news. WE'RE GETTING CHICKENS! Though hopefully not the zombie variety.

Got our coop on Sat and shopping for some cute chicks this weekend. Shit's getting real now!

Zombies + Bikes. It just makes sense....

This is Curtis' entry to the Specialized "Wheels of Fire" video contest. He had to come up with a 3 minute video promoting the 2011 Rockhopper. It's down to him and 4 other people! This was a complete blast to shoot! Curtis let me be a zombie and even trash our house. His brother, Russell was the star and was completely excited and dedicated to the project. Our friends, Adam, Jack, David and Jason, so graciously offered to be the other zombies.
Curtis really worked his butt off and it shows in this amazing video. I am so proud of him!!!
And really, bikes will be the best transportation in even of the undead apocalypse. They don't need gas, are much more mobile than cars and you can do some sweet jumps over dead bodies!

We don't fight unless we're provoked.

This is why I shop at Safeway.

 

Feeling HOT HOT HOT!

BAM!!!!

If I would have found this a year ago, I would have worn it instead of my veil.

TONIGHT!

AVETT BROTHERS! BOULDER! FRIENDS! BEER! 

no molly. :(

Pretty Bags

Found these on Etsy from a Fort Collins designer who runs Swing Station Studio (possibly the coolest name for a business ever). She has great handmade purses and wallets in all sorts of funky patterns. I want pretty much everything in her store. She even does custom orders! Check her shop out and shop local, homies!

Mustache March

My husband is awesome.

Rogue knitters terrorize Jersey!

In West Cape May, N.J., a secret group of knitters, calling themselves the "Salty Knits," have been running around at night and knitting sleeves on whatever they can. Viva la revolution.

Read more in the article below, though I do disagree with them calling knitting a "relatively boring hobby." Trees gotta stay warm too. "Nocturnal Knitters Tag Up New Jersey Town"

If I can't have summer...

...I'll take fall. You've seen this before, but these are better.
Visit Cara Lynn Kleid's blog, Some Velvet Morning for more beatiful illustrations and some sweet collages.

Sidenote, I found her blog through the "Next Blog" link at the top of Blogspot pages. I've been doing this a lot recently and you come across a lot of nonsense, but sometimes you strike gold!

Curtis made this baby for the back of our wedding invites. Caped crusader meets mohawked cyclist. Watch out!

Ouch.

Oh I can't wait.

Best day ever.

I don't mean to brag, but our wedding was the best ever. It was silly and fun and too perfect. Between the bike parade, goofy vows and the kazoo playing wedding party, we had the time of our lives! Too many amazing pics to show, but here are some of my favorites. More pics can be seen here and here.

Nothing helps a girl get ready to get hitched like rocking out to the Avett Brothers.

I am now married to this amazing man, who ended his beautiful vows with,
"You can do side bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt."

Bike parade! After the ceremony, we all hopped on bikes and rode around old town Fort Collins. Everyone in our path was super excited for us and we had some people join in on our little procession. Cops even held up traffic for us. Guess cops don't hate all Heidemans!

Reception = Party Time, Excellent.

Centerpieces consisted of place cards with the names of superhero couples, a notebook for people to draw us some pictures, bicycle chocolates and little dinos.

Now the real fun starts.

The Cool Kids

I've just gone from bridal mode to wannabe mommy mode. How cool is this kid?! This is how I imagine not-made-yet Curtis Jr, only with more falling.
My heart grew two sizes after watching this video. His 360s are my absolute favorite.
