lessons learned.

• D is finally on U.S. soil again. No thanks to you, Delta. Oh yes - you get a whole post on how much I hate you in a few days.
• Presents from China? Awesome. Well done D. Well done.
• Its amazing how my house can go from 1 million people to just me in a matter of minutes. Always sad to see people go.
• How many chicken nuggets will it take before my children turn into one?
• Sometimes if your dog craps repeatedly in my teensie yard, I may be inclined to pile it on your back porch. Just sayin'
• I can't find my retainer. Do NOT tell my mom....Or my orthodontist.
• Nordstroms - Saturday was a mistake. I don't think we should see each other anymore.

lessons learned.

Well folks. I am alive. Just thought you should know.

• Dear China - you've had D for about 2 weeks. I think its my turn.
• If my 1 year old is screaming because I put her down to address a package at the post office and you're a large lumbering (albiet nice) older gentleman who decides to pick her up and stick your equally large lumbering bearded face in hers, I assure you her now astronomically loud screams are 100% your fault. But thank you for switching me, and addressing said package after 5 minutes of said screaming.
• Apparently our 1 year old little girl can out eat anyone in this house. SERIOUSLY WHERE DOES IT ALL GO?
• No matter if I want them or not, I can eat no less than 3 Oreos in one sitting....3.
• If you see a blonde little boy walking around the neighborhood in heels, make no mistake...Its PG. Apparently we need to reconsider the childproof doorknobs.
• St. George is bee-you-tee-fulllll......We shall meet again soon I'm sure.

birthday girl.

How? How is Ells 1 already? I swear it took approx. 1.5 million years for PG to reach his first birthday.

We spent her birthday up in N. Utah with the in laws and just our little family. We all went out for Mexican (beans and rice are her favorite) and she didn't once think about trying her birthday cupcake. Seriously, she doesn't like sweets. Seriously.....seriously - who's kid is this?

12 hours old.

8,760 hours old. Eating birthday beans.

I was hoping she'd look at least 1% like me.

Nope. 100% not like me. But I'll take her anyway.

a sea of biebers...

I can honestly say I had no idea who Justin Bieber was until Glee Episode #13 (season 2).

Went to the mall last week for something only the mall could offer, and instead of the normal teenage potluck of mall rats, I noticed a sea of Bieber doppelgangers. Apparently I didn't get the memo. How embarrassing.

Also - What is happening in the world?

mother's day.

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

(a day late and a dollar short - story of my life. I DID talk to her several times on Mother's Day, not to fret).

Love you mom.

And who couldn't love this lady?

Seriously, I'm a lucky gal.

this morning I.....

may or may not have ordered something from Hiphopbling.com

There's a first time for everything, right?

8 years = eternity? Maybe....

Today D and I celebrate our 8 year anniversary. This morning we both decided that 8 years has felt like an eternity (in a good way?). Maybe its because we were basically children when we got married...

love you babe.

(here is one of our engagement pics. Only a select few were lucky enough to get one in their invites.)

yup.
