More favorites!!!

Wyatt, Bradyn and Lexi...I just love 'em!

Its my FAVORITE!

So...I bought the hoodie and the t-shirt!

When its just akward...

I work with this one man, lets call him Harry, who is old enough to be my father. He has a pretty bad comb over, kind of grayish skin and no social skills. He is a little too flirtatious with Anna and me and today in his attempt to give me a compliment he just made himself ridiculous.

He said, "Your hair looks nice today, did you do it yourself?"

"Ummm, yes, what do you mean Harry. If you're asking if my mommy came over to help me get ready this morning she didn't...Or do you mean do I cut and color it myself? I am a little confused."

He is used to me being a little mean and laughing at him so this exchange didn't make him nearly as uncomfortable as I would have hoped. Darnit!

The Happiest Place on Earth

I was invited to watch conference with friends in St. George with a plan for a little side trip Saturday night to go dancing in Vegas. Saturday we watched conference, went to lunch in our pj's, did some shopping and had a delicious dinner of homemade salmon burgers and sweet potato fries. At about 10pm we drove to Vegas and danced til the wee hours of the morning...we had a ball!

We decided that we might as well extend our weekend so we took Monday and Tuesday off and went to L.A. on Sunday afternoon. We spent Monday enjoying all Disneyland has to offer!

Kate and Candice on the Matterhorn

Aunt Joanna joined us for part of the day and we were so glad she did!

We had such a fun time, my favorite rides of the day being Soaring over California, Big Thunder Mountain and the new and improved Space Mountain!!! We also took this little quiz to find out which Disney character we are most like. In case you are wondering...

...I am Jane from Tarzan.

The truth is, it doesn't matter how old you are (and I got a little older this week so I know), Disneyland is just fun...really, one of the happiest places on earth!

Its hard "work"

Since returning to work on March10th from a wonderful trip to Hong Kong I have been paid to:

• Snowboard (twice)

• Go to a party at a skate park
• Spend 3 days at a conference in Park City
• Cross country ski (3 times)

• Lose my temper (various occasions)
• Feel inspired (numerous occasions)

Don't you wish you had my job!?!

Buttons and Mottos

I bought a cute pair of jeans in Hong Kong for about $5. The first time I wore them one of the buttons on the back pocket fell off and was lost...sad. Well, Saturday I was at the parents house doing laundry and waiting to go see my brother play in his first ever BYU soccer game. (Cec and I had fun, Bryan got to play about 25 minutes and they won of course!)

I asked my mom if she wanted to run some errands with me, one of them being a trip to the fabric store to find some new buttons for my pants. My mom reminded me of her button "collection" and suggested I have a look. Now...I knew my mom had a few buttons but really, do we call 3 boxes worth a collection or is it a PROBLEM!?! Apparently my mom is not the only mom with a button "collection." I spoke with a friend whose mom shares my mothers affinity for buttons, possibly exceeding the quantity in my parents basement. Anyways, I found a couple of cute buttons that worked wonderfully and I found one in particular that I loved. I took it knowing my mom wont even know its gone and I think it is my new motto, replacing, or perhaps adding to, "bringing sexy back." If there had been 2 I would have put these on my pants! LOVE IT!

Yep...GOOD ALL OVER!
