Enchilada Birthday

Happy 26th dear friend Celina!

We celebrated Sunday with a friends dinner of enchiladas and pineapple upside down cake. Delish.

Pretty Kris!

L-R: Emmie, Bree, Celina, Sarah and Kristen

That bright light directly above our heads sure is flattering!

Thanks for arranging such a fun dinner, Kristen! I loved sitting around and chatting with girls (and Jesse)!

All Things Beautiful

I have a thing for giraffes. Ask Husband about the time(s) I begged him to buy me a cast iron giraffe for sale outside of Tepanyaki for a future nursery.

I could easily gaze at this giraffe card for ample amounts of time...well, and the other lovely cards by this artist: http://thepapernut.com/

People News

A few things from the most recent People magazine:

• I am super weirded out that Deb and Dexter (from Dexter) were recently married!
• Charlotte Church has TWO kids? Isn't she 16 or something?
• Really Ben and Jen? You named your daughter Seraphina Rose?
• Happy 45th birthday Michelle Obama! (Jan 17th)
• Joan Rivers is crazy. How sad would you be if your mom made you get a nose job at 18?
• Loving the pic of President Obama with four former presidents in the Oval Office.
• Drew Barrymore at the Golden Globes. Love.
• Who is Kaycee Stroh? Not too familiar with the HSM star, but cool that her LDS wedding was featured in People.

The End

Oh Husband Dear

Who of you has a husband that helps you pack for a business trip, let alone UNpack from a business trip?

Does he fold your laundry while you recover from your travels in slumber (especially your garments which you haaaaate folding)?

Does he help you shower (don't gag) when you're sooo tired after the end of a long day?

Do you have a husband that encourages you to read the same chapters in the BOM that he's reading while you are out of town so you can later discuss them?

Does he vacuum the house often, load and unload the dishwasher, and make sure you're fed before heading to your second job?

Who of you has a husband that makes you breakfast in bed on a random, unspecial day with no specific meaning, just because he wants to?

Mine does.

Love you dollface.

And. Thank. You.

Lovely

I subscribe to many a blog...MANY. I really should update my subscriptions since I find myself skipping over the same postings in iGoogle on a daily basis.

There are a number of blogs I subscribe to that I NEVER skip over (that includes yours), and one such blog is Cup of Jo. Today she posted an adorable necklace by a designer I now have romanical feelings for. Her jewelry is delicate, feminine and charming (too many adjectives?)! I believe I may need to collect every piece in her SOC-CHIC Collection.

Check her out!

Lil' Heater

After sledding I warmed up by le bebe napping on my chest.

Stevie's Wonder

Steve (FIL) caught some great shots standing at the bottom of the hill, this first one was my favorite...

Madi and I were dubbed the daredevils, so all new tubings ideas were tested on us

Well...except for this one! Lacey, Tadd and I made a chain, and the best part is that we ended up slingshoting Lacey around from back to front!

Aw, gotta love Mazie!

Jack was being a little wuss after a ride or two down the hill, so Whit and I joined forces. I readied myself on a tube, and then she threw him on me and pushed me down! All was going well until 3 feet down the hill we hit an ice chunk and went flying! (Picture C). And I especially love the pic of Lacey having the time of her life!

Ava also had qualms with our sledding adventure, so Tysen threw her on Tadd without notice and sent her down the hill! They made it much further, and she laughed the whole way down! It wasn't until they stopped at the bottom that she started crying again!

And thus ends the sledding pictorals.

Until next time...

Me & Mate

My husband. I heart him.

A Snowy New Year

New Years day back down at the Gladstan Golf Course with the Cox family!

The number of pictures I have is ridiculous, even a little embarrassing, but Whitney took so many fab photos, I couldn't resist!

My favorite photo

Spider! Memories of elementary school anyone?

After Madi and I crashed spider-sledding

Winter wonderland

Tadd and Lacey behind the 4-wheeler

Ava was not a fan of sledding after a minor crash

And...I have more photos to post later of my FIL's photography (whom you'll notice in the yellow coat capturing the family against the snowy mountain tops)! Oh well, my blog, my content! Deal with it.

Such a fun day, complete with great company!
