Please Pass the Divorce...

Awkward, right? Well to make things unawkward for dear friend Bree, a party was had. For exclusive details go here (rad blog, spend some time here).

Odd picture, no? Not if you particpated in the rip-roarin' scavenger hunt Whit and Lori created.

Karaoke at the Nelson's ended the night perfectly. 50 brownie points to the first person who can guess what song these two lovelies are singing.

P.S: I've discovered I'm a karaoke goddess.

Springsteen-Ingram Duet

J.R.I in not-so-rare form

Spark and Ignite

OH my gosh, we're so trendy and modern. Just walk into Spark and you will be too. Gourmet food, smaller portions, fancy presentation, mocktails...what else spells out T-R-E-N-D-Y?

All kidding aside, I'm loving this place

Our newest look-good-always pose

Fancy appletini of Celina's

And my fancy Diet Coke. With lime.

See? Doesn't she look so much better than me? Works everytime.

Go eat here so it stays!

Boardroom Birthday

Yup, you read that right! Day after Celina's birthday - party in the Kress boardroom!

Prime photo op

I lurve these girls!

Birthday's make me picture happy

Pinata Birthday

Birthday boy flasing his age. By the look on Jeff's face, I'd say Justin's lying.

Kristen with the newest crony in Exec support

Really Caitlyn? Wash your hair.

The whole gizzity gang

3D cake, compliments of Bree

Our 30 lb pinata Bree and I hung with fishing line

It withstood two giant whacks. Not bad.

Celina in her rarest form

Happy Bizzle Rizzle J-Rizzle

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.
