Fury

Things that are making me mad these days:

my inability to tan

being accused of things I didn't do

my girlfriend's boyfriend's or rather...ex-boyfriend's

my diet coke baby

rain

name-dropping

my lost keys

chipping nail polish

A.S

A Day in the Life of...

Us.

Spring break. Vegas. MGM Signature Condos. Transportation to Bellagio via limousine. Chocolate strawberries delivered to our rooms. Room service. Ahhh...the life.

Impatiently waiting for our limo. Myself, Lo and friend Trish.

Limo compliments of Megan's bro-in-law

Look at my darling husband. I look like a troll next to him.

Oh these famed women...

A Break from Spring...or Break into Spring?

Spring Break. Vacation time. First time I've taken a Spring Break vacation in 300 years. It seems.

Vegas with the 'rents and sis, and sis' friend.

Geez, Ma. Don't you know how to straighten a camera? (kidding my dear)

View from 25th floor at the MGM Towers. Lo, taking Life into her own hands. (BAAA HAHAHA)

Bellagio Buffet. Do you ever pronounce it buff-et? I do.

The adorable couple in front of the "poppies....poppies!"

This post was supremely lame, except for my darling husband.

Cavity Control?

A place you must all visit is The Sweet Tooth Fairy bakery on University Avenue in Provo. Quaint little place with dozens of delicious, over-indulgent cupcakes!

Reeses Peanut Butter Cup-cupcake

Strawberry shortcake for me!

Independently Mobile

Vanditta. Vanny. Vannah White. Mini Van. Babyvan (said as one word).

So many fond names for this baby, this baby that is now mobile.

And into e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. How his mom keeps up with him is beyond me.

He even mosied (is that even a word?) on over to Skype-Mallory one morning. Melts your lil' heart!

p.s - she's my sister. I'm so lucky.

A Little off the Top

Here is my darling nephew, Van, after his first hair cut. He was a champ.

And he's darling. Did I already say that?

Forever and Always...

...are my eyeliner and me!
I finally did it! And I love it!

Numbed, woozy and ready for the needles.

Still pre-ink. So nervous.

The night of, and I'm about as miserable as I look. But 3 weeks from that date and I don't regret it one bit. The pain and misery is a mere memory now...

...until the touch-up!

I'm a Goddess

...karaoke goddess, that is. I joined Whitney, Trent and Bree (among others) at

Atchafalaya's for a good ol' embarrass-yourself-in-front-of-a-drunken-crowd night. It was fantastic!

Best parts of the night:
1. Bree's rendition of "Castle on a Cloud"
2. Bree and I nailed down our go-to song. "Sweet Dreams" by Heart

Rock n' Roll

4 years and still growing. I thoroughly enjoy my nephew being so close so I can watch him get so big!

Could he look any happier? Reminds me of a picture of his mother near this same age. Wish I had it (hint, hint Ma).

Tadd decided 4 years was a good age for a suit! One he can grow a bit into, anyway.

Our thank you card narrated by Jack, scribed by Whitney, thanked us for the "little suit". Something about that sent me into fitful giggles.

Serving us our skittle sacrament similar to the deacons, which he is fascinated with.

Happy Birthday Cowboy Jack. We love you!

Benefit #2

Second benefit of working in my department: hitching a ride on a private plane from Boise to Provo.

Plan: head home same night I flew in to surprise Tadd. Wife arrives home 12 hours before scheduled, happy husband! Right? Wrong.

Forgot to tell him I was going to be "occupied" for the next few hours, so when I landed at midnight, he was in a full-fledged panic. Whoopsies.

Thanks for the lift, Lon!

Twisty Carbs

Benefit #1 of working in Nu Skin's Distributor Success department: Pretzel Day! Remember The Office?

Assortment of twisty carbs: cinnamon sugar, plain, salted, garlic salt, etc...

First choice: Salted with Marinara Sauce

Two of the hooligans I hang with at work, and outside corporate jail (I mean that in the nicest way possible, Blake).
