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.

lessons learned.

• I've recently started watching Friday Night Lights. Dear Texas and your football - you're a little crazy (no offense Jones.) And I know this because TV never lies.....
• Found a kitchen knife.....in the couch......seriously. This is my life.
• SNOWY day today. Spent playing Puzzle Fighter with PG. Sorry little buddy, you never stood a chance....
• PG had a convo with a picture of Perry Como centered above our table at lunch. I really wish I knew what Perry had to say.
• Seriously there are like 3 couches in our living room. Someone stop the madness and buy our old one! Don't fail me now Craigslist.
• Wait. The dishes need to be done again? I just did them like 2 days ago.

easter.

Dave went home from church puking, and we spent most of the day watching Ducktales. Fully appropriate right?

Also, PG thinks the Easter Bunny is our neighbor's pet rabbit that was running loose a few months ago. I can't bring myself to say "The Easter Bunny is a giant rabbit that brings you a basket of goodies...." Have you heard yourself explaining this to your children?

Baskets.

Taking pics is PGs favorite activity.....

The bow stayed in her hair for 1.5 seconds, hence the "comb over" look...

We never got a family pic. But Uncle Jake came over and we had a delicious meal.

Pretty good day.....
