Beautiful surfer boys.......





As much as i love the good ole midwest.....





with the ice storms ....the single digit temps...





the need to not leave the house...





for days on end...





i look forward to the middle of





january





all year long.





Huh?





are you thinking to yourself that





you just learned something new about me...





kasey loves the middle of january?


























Seriously.....





because every january...





we put away our snowsuits...





tuck away our gloves...





and dig out our flip flops.





Oh sweet heaven.....





i just looked at my poor little toe's and realized





that they are in desperate need of some tlc.





I know some of you go the whole winter without





shaving your legs....





and i for one..





will be shaving mine today.





I'm not quite sure if i will be putting on my little





string bikini...





nope...not quite sure that will happen..





but i will be putting my toe's in the sand.





Florida...here we come!





I will be the one on the beach that looks





like she just moved from the north pole...





with skin so white that





i will suffer 3rd degree burns all over





my body ....





just so i can come home and





say that i have a tan.





See my poor white babies in the photo above.....





yup.....





my little family likes to forgo the sunscreen





for a little





{ ahem }





vitamin D.


















Now ....





let me clear something up real fast...





right now.





I will be traveling with the three children..





to florida..





to see my fabulously wonderful...





in-laws.





yup....





my in-laws....





that would be my husbands parents...





and i will be traveleing without....





my husband.





Yes.





You just read that right.





No husband.





Which means.....





{and i totally o.k'd it first}





that i can look at all the beautiful





surfer boys that i want.





beautiful.surfer.boys.





I realize that i will be the only





WHITE GIRL





with no sunscreen on her body.....





staring at these boys...





with my camera...





duh





i wouldn't want you to feel left out now....





because when i get home..





i want to make sure you all have your fill





of





beautiful surfer boys.











Alright...













{choking on my saliva}





I just had to show you this photo from





last year.





I am all for curlers in your hair...





and i love...





love.love.love





a little pink bathing suit coverlet..





but not necessarily together.





The best part was ...





she was totally watching...





these boys.














I promise to be very good and only





snap photos of





beautiful surfer boys





but i realize...





for those of you older girls...





that like to read here...





you might not want some pics





of the surfer boys..





so you can just drool all over the boys above.





I promise not to tell anyone.





pinky promise.





xo
p.s. feel free to follow me on twitter {here} if you
need a play by play of the surfer boys.

That picture of your kids is sooo...perfect! What a classic photo! Have a beautiful time in Florida...where I was once rescued by a hunky lifeguard...when I was twelve. Oh, well.

: )

ps My verification word is, "Anita" do you think that could be curler smoker lady's name?

pps A gal of her generation came to my shop over the holidays with curlers in her hair. : )

DustyLu said...

Great post. Can't wait to see all the eye candy with the cute surfer boys! Lucky..you go girl..get that tan on..lulu p.s. mommy strength on traveling by yourself with 3 kids..

Cathi said...

Can't wait.....Have a great time....I'm a bit spoiled here in California leaving near the beach, but I still can't wait to see the surfer boys you come up with...:)

Jules said...

The boys in the last photo are more like reality. Age does not prohibit dreaming and remembering so please lots of the surfer boy photos for us of the older brigade.

jules @ The Diversion Project said...

You're way too funny! I am currently in the world of hot surfer boys - every morning on my way to work, driving along the beach i think 'ohhhhh, to shed twenty years and ten kilos...and you would soooo be mine!!' : ) hehehe (maybe that's what the chick in the rollers was thinking too!!;)

I look forward to many more hot surfer boys when it's your turn for summer!

Unknown said...

Unknown said...

Have a fun time at the beach. It hasn't been very warm here in Florida. That was my gramma in the curlers, tube top and cigs in the 50's.

Martha said...

You are going to have soooo much fun! Enjoy yourself my dear...I can see why you look forward to mid-January for sure...
Relax...have some fun...and don't forget if you need help flying with your kiddos...I'm willing to cancel all and any plans to go to beach to help...{we can be stark white together}......okay...I know enough already...obviously just kidding...

...and I'm sure you will come back with more fun pics!

Amy@TheLemonCottage said...

I needed this today! We are being hit with an ice storm in Iowa right now! (probably headed your way) So--- way to get the heck out of here!

Lots of pics of surfer boys.
Feel free to enlarge the pics.
And print off a copy, and mail it to me.
Enjoy your time!

Scrapamum said...

Can I come too? Those surfer boys look yummy!!! Don't tell my hubby I just said that.

Sheila said...

So sorry to burst your bubble see... I live in Sunny California, grew up in San Diego 3 miles from the beach and well... I am over it. I want to live on a farm 20-30 minutes from a big city where it has 4 seasons... I am over the sun always shining, except for when it is pouring down rain like it is right now. I do wish you a great visit though :)

Sheila

Kacey said...

Enjoy your time away from the frigid cold! Hope it's not too rough traveling with three little ones.

BonjourRomance said...

Hava a great time with all your beautiful white babies in sunshiney Florida - my home state for most of my life.
Bereak out the flip flops and the camera and we'll be waiting for the photo tour when you get back!
Bon voyage!

Leah C said...

Oh lucky you...soak up a whole lotta sun for the rest of us vampire-white midwestern girls who'll be turning into popsicles...all the while your toes are buried in the warm sand and you're getting hot flashes over those surfer boys! Have a great time, Kasey...safe travels:)

LuLu said...

Do you need some kiddos for your children to play with? and a friend to hold the umbrella over you so you don't get sunburned? cause I could be that friend? think about and let me know I have very good umbrella holding skills!
have a good one and don't forget about us gals in the cold covered up!
xo,
LuLu

a.love said...

HAHAHAH
that post just cracked me up!!
Please don't complain about being white....I was told once if I shaved my head I'd look like a Q-Tip.
Be encouraged :)
HAVE FUN

MODERN Prairie Girl said...

Please say you're bringing your zoom lens...Pul-eeze! I'm jealous as I sit here staring at the drear and gray that is the NW in winter. Bottle up some sand so you can put it in a drawer and put your feet in it when you get back.
Looking for those pics!!!
Lara

Its So Very Cheri said...

Thanks so much for following. I re-signed up to follow. I know I followed you at one time-I remember your hubby doing a post. Now I realize I haven't gotten a post from you in a long time. I don't know exactly what happened there.
I love your designs.
Anyhow, I hope you have a great time here in Florida. Yeah I live near all the surfer boys--except I am on the Gulf side. What part of Florida will you be heading to?

I am sure your in-laws are giving you a heads up on the cool weather here. You might need to borrow the pink cover up.

Unknown said...

have fun in the sun! xo

jen by jennifer said...

Can you bring me back a beautiful surfer boy? I know he will want to escape like a kitten from a child's arms, but... I'll be nice and not squeeze him too tight. I promise! Ok, ok... just LOTS of pictures PLEEEEZ! Have a safe trip. ;)

Beki - TheRustedChain said...

Soo jealous.

Blow the surfer boys a kiss from me, okay?

By the way, Traci did a gorgeous job on your photos!

What I wouldn't give for some warm sunshine right about now.... *sigh*

~Mary said...

I hope you have a great trip to Florida! And I wish you many surfer boys to gaze upon! Lol. I just discovered your blog and it is hilarious. Thanks for your great sense of humor! :)

Sara said...

Anita said...

No, curler smoker lady's name is NOT Anita...for the record. Have fun and get some vitamin D for me....I'm off to a screenprinting class. My image?- you guessed it. Eiffel Tower ( and I am sneaking a crown too in case she'll let me do 2)

Sandy, Sisters of Season said...

Yes, post those pics of those beautiful surfer boys, oh yea, such a good thing to look at.

Amy said...

Have just come across your blog - I just know as soon as the page uploads whether I am going to like it or not - how is that?
Beautiful writing that made me laugh and gorgeous photos of the munchkins..
looking forward to returning for a private nose of the surf dudes. Am so jealous of your trip to the sun - sitting here in the UK with my white wrinkly skin which will not get to see any sun for some time to come. Your sons toes are not the only ones in need of attention - lol! Enjoy your trip x

Mande said...

This is hands down my most FAVORITE blog ever!!!! I am cracking up at this post & will be tuning in to see all the beautiful surfer boys! :) Have a fabulous time!

maura said...

I too love florida in july. I just got back home after 9 days in Disney with my husband and kids and it was our best vacation ever. Hope you are enjoying the sun and the inlaws. Oh and the surfer boys!

Jenny said...

This post cracked me up!

I live on the coast and you see more of the older, chubbier beach goers than the tanned, toned ones.
