Valentine's Day 2009

Valentine's Day was a blast this year!!! My anonymous friends and I made so called SCANDALOUS picture books for our husbands which really weren't all that scandalous, I just like saying the word! I'd love to give you all a slight preview for curiosity sake but I'm not going to:)... Daniel was a HUGE fan of the book and I was most impressed by my much needed improvement of the "sexy" face and my anonymous friends photography skills, she is a natural!!

*Ok I lied, here is a glimpse and the difference in my "sexy" face in one years time. Pretty impressive, don't you think? Oh and yes, that is a boa (oh la la)*












After we gave our books to the hubbies we met up for dinner.

Lacey and Jason

Kristen and Jason

Michele and Glyn

Lacey and Sam
Fig and Dizzle
and the Cheesers! (that should really be our last name)
Hope you had a day full of so called scandalous love too!!!

p.s. not all parties shown above were involved in the scandalous stuff, I'll keep that information anonymous!!

Welcome to my week last week...

Yes this is our couch with mounds of clean laundry on it and Eddie on top!

It was a rough one!

OKC Thunder Game

Daniel was able to get a suite for a Thunder game down in Oklahoma City a few weeks ago. I was a total slacker on the picture taking but this little beauty is really the only one that is post worthy. I'm pretty sure these Thunder Girls weren't wearing any Thunderware!!!

And I'm pretty sure the guys were totally OK with that!!!

Sorry to the wives that were excited for the professional photographers picture of this, I totally lost the card.

I need help...

My creativity is always lacking during the pregnancy months, it's horrible. I need to come up with a cute Cool Chick's Maternity Shirt for boys so that I can wear it at the end of this month when Kristi and I do our yearly "Horse Dance" for the crowd.

The Maternity shirt for girls says, "Hooray! It's a Cool Chick"

with an arrow pointing at the belly.

Whitney gave me some ideas for boys, my favorites were:

"Cool Chicks are gonna dig me"

or

"Cool Chicks Construction Zone"

Leave a comment with an idea of your own or tell me which one of those you like best. I will give a prize to the person who's saying I print and it won't be a maternity shirt (unless your pregnant and you really want one)!

He was interesting...

I ventured into a liquor store today, first time in my 28 year old existence. Having Jaxton home from school that last 3 days because of the ice storm has put me over the edge. Ha! JUST KIDDING, I went in to get some gold tequila for this scrumptious recipe. (Sorry I couldn't wait for you Fig, the craving was killing me)

There was a sign on the door that told me to "Smile, because I was on camera," so I did! Then I walked in and turned a few circles feeling a little bit dizzy and completely overwhelmed.

I didn't even try to find it myself I just went right to the counter...

Me: "Do you have any gold tequila and if so where would it be?"

Counter Guy: looking at me like I just asked a really stupid question, "Right over here, do you need a specific brand?"

Me: "No, it's for cooking purposes."

Counter Guy:"That's what they all say."

Me: "Actually this is my first time in a liquor store."

Counter Guy: "You must be a Baptist."

Me: "Nope, I'm a Mormon actually."

Counter Guy: "Oh, I worked with a Mormon for 6 years, he was.....(long pause)....interesting."

Me: biting my tongue and thinking "What in the crap is that suppose to mean?"

Counter Guy: "My dad was a Baptist minister while I was growing up."

Me: biting my tongue and thinking again: "Well what in the heck are you doing working in a liquor store?"

The joys of Oklahoma tack.

And by the way that Shiz STINKS!!!

For those of you who thought I was kidding about the BANGS....

I WASN'T!!!!

3 years old

4 years old

Kindergarten
1st grade
2nd grade- WOW they just stepped up a notch!
3rd grade

4th grade-the wave

5th grade

6th grade-by this time I'm thinking they had a mind of their own!!!

7th grade
8th grade

9th grade-had to do makeover pictures for dance...lovely absolutely lovely! No wonder my mom couldn't recognize me when she came to pick me up!
10th grade-when I discovered my neck was like a giraffe. Probably thought the bangs could hide that too!

11th grade-between my bangs and my sleeves I'm pretty sure Bowdy wasn't seen all night!!!!

12th grade-Seriously? Seriously??

And then Daniel came into my life and suggested I do my hair like Britney Spears. Molly stepped in, the fabulous friend she is and helped me with this new do...thank you both.Once again I apologize for the bangs!

This is for you Fig....

and...

Dear Daniel a.k.a Wheetie: I'm so sorry I took pictures of you underneath the basket, made up cheers for you and actually said them out loud, saved you seats on the bus and embarrassed the heck out of you in front of your teammates. I'm glad it all paid off!

Dear Rob Nash: I'm sorry I broke up with you in 10th grade
because you were too short. It wasn't your fault.

Dear Everyone: I'm sorry that I had bangs for the majority of my life. In my defense I was from Roosevelt, I thought I had a big forehead and I didn't get the memo that bangs weren't cool anymore!

Baby Bump...

I'm 24 weeks today!!!

Here's a quick story....So we are in Utah and I put on my snow pants, snow pants people, those are like glorified overalls if you will! I couldn't get them to velcro or buckle. I said to my sister, "Dang, I swear I bought the mediums in these instead of the smalls." I looked at the tag and said, "crap, they are the mediums!" Kristi looked at me and said, "you were really hoping they were the smalls weren't you?!" I guess those 16 pounds have had to go somewhere!!! Good times!

If you...

couldn't find your remote control to the TV for 2 FULL days would you think to look in here???

yah, me either!!! Thanks Sweets!

It's a good thing Daniel put some of these in Jaxton's lunch this morning.

Please vote, PLEASE!!

I have NEVER had a hard time picking out names for my kids, EVER!!! Blaykli's I was in love with the second I heard it on a cruise my sophomore year of high school. Jaxton's was a combination of 2 of my favorite names: Braxton and Jackson. This time I'm struggling to say the least, it's weird...I am not a fan of it. It might not be so hard if this child's aunt wasn't so stinkin opinionated :)! Here (on the right) is a poll of a few names that I'm liking right now,(the spelling may change depending on my mood) please vote for the one you like best so I can at least get some kind of inspiration from something. If you have any others you are willing to share, leave a comment, it will be greatly appreciated.

Poll #1 favorites: Ryker, Porter, Krew or (Crew)
Poll #2 favorites: Cooper
Poll #3 favorites: Brecken, Schafer
Poll #4 favorites: Gage, Kyler, Bridger
Poll #5 favorites: Beckham, Easton, Holden

Blaykli-ism's

If you aren't around my daughter on a regular basis then I'm pretty sure you don't know what a stinkin hoot she is, here is a slight preview...

#1. We were driving back from the Bone's house on Christmas Eve and she kept asking my dad to turn on his interior light. We all told her he couldn't see if he did that but of course she didn't understand. Finally she got ticked and stuck her tongue out (a lovely move a snooty little turd taught her at the McDonald's play land in Provo). My mom asked her, "did you just stick your tongue out?" Blaykli said, "Yes." My mom asked, "why" and Blaykli said, "Because I'm ruude!"

#2. We were at Church and at the end of Sacrament Meeting she said to me, "I want to go home and take my nap." I asked, "You don't want to go to nursery?" She said, "NO!" I asked why and she said, "Cause I'm not in the mooood!"

#3. My cousin asked her how old she was and she very matter of factly answered, "14."

#4. She is in love with Kristi's boyfriend Steve. She calls him Steven Hot dog....One night I put her to bed and said, "you didn't get to see Steven Hot dog all day today." She quickly answered, "he missed me so much."

There you have it folks, just a few of the thousands of Blaykli-ism's I could type up. There will be many more to come!

This picture....

of Jaxton just made me excited for Jarvis!!!

I needed that!!

Snowboots on the Beach....

I bet you there aren't many Californian's that have seen this.

I'm not even going to get into how we ended up here when we were suppose to be home!

Tubing at Soldier Hollow
