*these chips are amazing.

super nummy with fresh guac.

*bought this purse at the park city outlets.

it's not as bright in person.

and i didn't pay that much for it.

(don't know how long this link will work)

love love love it.

*can't believe i didn't mention that this started 2 weeks ago!
i'm so sorry.
if you can't tell, it's one of my favs.
i think you can watch the first two episodes online.

*watched this movie a few weeks back.
give it 4 out of 5 stars.
loved it and it wasn't as violent as i thought it would be.
no skin, decent language, not too shabby.
can't believe how much of a difference hair makes on this guy.
he can go from uber creepy to kinda good looking with just a trim.
something about him reminds me a bit of the wolf from NeverEnding Story,
hence the "kinda good looking" instead of "hot" status.

*spent the night here on saturday.

it was very nice and cozy, but not in a small and humble kind of way.

had an awesome fireplace in our room,

which is probably a little more sweet when it's not 100 degrees outside.

bed was super comfy and i totally recommend staying there.

*FINALLY went and saw this.

will do an entire movie review post tomorrow.

yes, it was that good.

*ate sunday brunch here.

it was sooooo good.

i place it right up next to this brunch.

lots of variety and i totally ate way too much.

sat out of the deck,

in the sunshine,

completely surrounded by nature,

and even had a live trio singing mellow music.

haven't been that relaxed in a long time.

*went here for the first time.

rode this and then the coaster (sorry, no link for the coaster).

was going to ride this, but it shut down for "maintenance" for 30 minutes

and we didn't want to wait.

coaster was wicked cool and almost went too fast :)

*went outlet shopping and bought myself these pants.

(mine are a "city fit" which means they fit like these).

they are amazing on.

i decided i needed to wear something other than jeans this fall.

*watched this movie with the hubs.
i really liked it.
starting to think i'll like any movie with this guy.
(wait, that's not true, almost any movie...

that whole episode 1 thing ruined it a bit...)

he kicks butt like nobody else.
i'm not a letswatcheveryonekickbutt kinda gal,
but i like watching him do it.
would totally watch it again.
give it 4 out of 5 stars (has to be a.maz.ing. to get 5 stars from me)

*excited to go shopping in pc this weekend.

if you need to get your money spending grove on right now,

and have some pics you need to get off the computer and on the walls,

this, this (50% off entire site using 50percent code)

and this (50% off 8x10 using summerphotos code) are killer online sales.

check it out.

some of them only last through today.

*going to try this recipe today.

love me some 'nana bread

and for some reason i love bundt pans as well.
match made in heaven (i hope).

*really been into blog stalking lately.

mostly "house" blogs.

making me want to redo our tv room/kitchen, like, now!

this, this, this, and (some of) this are my favs right now.

i love all of these women's style, decor and

the clean bright look they all have throughout their homes.

*watched this movie over the weekend.

thought mr mcconaughy did a great job,

as did the rest of the cast.

pretty predictable.

no big surprises.

i did like the movie despite all that.

give it 3 out of 5 stars.

oh yeah, it is rated r...said the f word, like, 3 times.

but no skin or sex or that much violence/blood.

*these just went on sale.

i need a good winter boot still and these might be it.

love my hunter wellies.

*having a hard time training for the half.

thinking maybe i need some new tunage?

suggestions please?

*this sweet girl was the photog at my bro's wedding on sat.

she did an amazing job!

i haven't actually seen any of the pics yet,

but i know they're going to rock.

thanks again lacy!

today is my favorite day of summer because of this.

we have 5 of them in vernal.

pretty sure we're going to hit 'em all up by the end of the day.

wouldn't this be so stinkin' cool to do?
it's too bad i can barely run 3 miles without passing out right now.

finally going to celebrate my 8th wedding anniversary
by having an overnighter here in a few weeks.

watched this movie over the weekend.
thought it was okay.
seemed a bit forced and kind of choppy.
did have some funny moments and this guy was fantastic.
give it 2 1/2 stars.
prolly won't watch it again.

got these for my 4 year old.
they are freakin' awesome on.
helps that he is super skinny and a bit wiry.

melcome.

*watched this movie last night.

why didn't i hear more about it?

it was really well done.

i wasn't expecting the religious undertone.

totally recommend it.

*finished this book over the weekend.

it's a prequel to the mortal instrument series.

loved it!

however, i'm super annoyed that part two doesn't come out until december!

*last week to see this.

it's turned out to be a really good show.

i'm not just saying that because i'm sleeping with the director either.

you can buy tickets here.

i recommend buying them early if you plan on going thurs, fri or sat.

*got cabbage in my bountiful basket on sat.

i have no idea what to do with it.

i don't really like coleslaw,

but i'm going to try this recipe.

i'll let y'all know how it turns out.

can't be too bad, it has bacon in it.

*speaking of bacon, i found my new favorite way to prepare it.

baking it.

may not be a big discovery for some, but it was for me.

no mess, no hot oil burns, no babysitting it the whole time it cooks.

i do like to flip it over half way.

just pop it into the oven and 20 minutes later you have perfect bacon.

*if the hubs needs some new church pants,

these bad boys are on sale right now.

please buy him some if he's still rockin' the front pleat khaki.

melcome.

*finally got me some of this.

vernal may not have a lot,

but we make up for it with our shaved ice.

gotta try the orange burst flavor.

it's orange and cinnamon.

best. flavor. ever.

*wore my shabby apple dress for the first time yesterday.

ordered it while i was preggo and couldn't try it on.

just hoped that it would fit one day.

and it does.

and i love it.

*am now thinking that i may have to have this dress too.

*think i'm going to do this (pic #9) after the lil' bro's wedding.

i know it's a "been there done that" kind of cut,

but i really like it.

and i'm ready to go really short.

and much lighter.

*got the hubs this, this and this for father's day.

he loved them.

well, the seahorse book is a little weird.

cute, and to the point, and honest, but weird.

boys liked it though.

*watched this last night.

love me a beauty pageant,

but only if it's on the dvr so i can skip most of it.

i enjoy commentating throughout the entire thing.

was happy with the winner.

thought miss utah was actually pretty this year.

wanted alabama to win until she opened her mouth.

and then wore a terrible skanky evening dress.

was happy for miss california.

favorite part is reading what they write in their bios.

hilarious stuff.

*this is opening a week from today.

performances will run for 2 solid weeks (except sundays).

thank heavens it's almost over.

i'm so done with this whole single parent thing.

but if you get a chance, go see the show.

it's going to be really good.

*got these in the mail last week.

love them, but they are 1/2 a size too big,

and the place i bought them from doesn't take returns.

hooray for awesome shoes.

boo for awesome shoes that don't fit.

*booked this hotel for my anniversary.

got a killer deal from travelzoo.

really looking forward to 24 hours in park city with the hubs.

alone.

*these are my favorite jeans on dave.

they are on sale right now.

if your hubby needs some good bootie jeans,

order him these.

you won't be disappointed.

*made this on saturday night.

not as good as going to the actual restaurant,

but pretty darn close.

sooooo good.

*this was on tv last night.

watched it after watching the MAVS take the ring.

eat that south beach.

anyway, i saw it in the theater when it first came out

and thought it was crazy intense, but really like it.

that was before i had a daughter.

last night it bothered me on a different level.

had to watch the soup to get my mind off of it.

thanks joel.

*watched this movie over the weekend.

really enjoyed it.

thought it was very interesting,

but kinda weird that it's about facebook and already a movie.

it felt a little too soon if you know what i mean.

and every time i see jt i can't help but think of this.

*made these on thursday

and they are already on the menu again for tomorrow.

they are that good.

*starting the official summer schedule today.

love having structure and routine.

*love this shirt,

this dress (with a cardigan of course),

this color,

and any top with these.

*so close to kicking this show off the dvr.

then they do a great song like this.

i'm catching up on the rest of this season,

but pretty sure it won't make the cut next season.

*this show.

i've only seen 2 1/2 episodes, but loved it.

my type of humor.

how did i miss an entire season of it?

*thinking about doing this for my bro's wedding.

have a friend that did it and gave it great reviews.

*made this for breakfast sunday.

without the green onions.

yummy yummy.

will definitely be making it again.

*started training for this yesterday.

well, was supposed to start training yesterday...

will actually start today.

anyone who wants the training schedule, lemme know.

it's a 16 week beginner course.

*starting our "summer schedule" today.

i'm excited to feel productive.

i need a list/schedule or else i'll be super lazy.

and when dave comes home for lunch,

the kids and i will still be in jammies watching tv.

pretty sure he's seen enough of that the past 6 months :)

*this video.

THANK YOU to all those who have/continue to sacrifice for our country.

enjoying the great outdoors,

and munchin' on some bbq.

God bless.

*this new scrumdidaleeuptious.

make sure you ask for a spoon though.

it tastes much better mixed up.

*these naughty little guys are addicting!

my sister turned me onto them,

and i can't get enough.

we went through and entire pack in 2 days.

(i can't find a decent link, sorry).

*this duet was a.ma.zing!

i'm not really a big follower of the show,

but i did happen to catch this song and loved it.

both these girls are insanely talented.

*these are super cute.

might have to retire my fuzzy reds for the summer

in exchange for these cute orange ones.

*these are some great tips for all those with a camera.

*and finally, this front door is so fun.

i'm thinking about doing something like it.

it does help that she has a great front door before paint.

*totally into this song right now.

then i found the music video.

now i love the song even more.

*good blond,

not good blond.

*saw this movie on saturday.

i give it 3 out of 5 stars.

pretty much a typical chick flick.

little long.

extremely predicable.

but it did make me laugh

and the leading man was nice on the eyes.

*love this show.

can't wait for a new season to start.

still wish these guys would've won it.

*prolly need these bad boys for the summer.

*going to add these to our menu this week.

but without the green onions.

and prolly mandarin oranges instead of mango.

*got these, in white, from the e.b. and LOVE them.
i can't handle little ear buds in my ear,
so these mamma jammas are going to be awesome to run with.
time to crank up the tunage and get my 5k on.

*not that i needed anymore treats this weekend,
but had this for dessert on sunday.
best. coconut. cake. ever.
i seriously think i ate half the cake.

*still want these.
have them in this color,
but have wanted the yellow for over year.
rainy days like today make me want to work the wellie.
that could be taken in so many directions.

*just finished this series.
really enjoyed them all,
but wished they would've ended different.
maybe it was the whole zombie thing,
but i really just wanted everyone to die.
kinda dark of me, i know.

*this top with these jeans.

really lovin' the bright spring colors right now.

even if the shirt isn't technically "bright".

*this little shop helped me put on 5 lbs this weekend.

the vaNIElla squared and raspberry lemonade cupcakes were my favorite.

my weakness for sweets is getting ridiculous.

*picked up this scrumdidaleeumptous this weekend.

i'm usually not much of a perfume kind of gal,

but i really like how this one doesn't smell very perfumie.

*love this site when i'm in a daydreaming mood.

the past 2 years the hubs and i have taken off for a week without the kiddos.

in april.

this year it's not happening and i'm craving a trip desperately.

*my friend opened this shop.

i have a good half dozen of these little beauts for lucy and love them.

melcome.

i'm in love

i don't like mops.

i mop my floors, but not with a dirty sponge connected to the end of a stick.

blah.

doesn't do anything but smear the dirt and germs around.

i mop on my hands and knees.

always have.

that's why when i saw this guy i knew i'd found my soul mate.

sorry dave.

you gave it your best shot buddy.

tweet. tweet.

*this new flavor at 7-11.

so good.

using the whole "ihaveasorethroat" excuse to drink 3 a day.

*getting family pics done here on friday.

i'm really hoping they turn out good.

if they do, maybe i will get some type of holiday card sent out.

*wearing this, this, this, this, and this

for said pictures.

my cardigan isn't as blinding in person as it is in the pic.

*thinking about doing this.

i've gotten ridiculously lazy while having this head cold.

the house is proof.

maybe this too.

*love me a sarcastic tee.

think i may have to add this beauty to my collection.

melcome.

mcdonald monday

*these little guys are awesome.

fair warning...they come with 2 in a pack.

you will eat both at the same time.

yes, it's that good...

but more like, they're not kidding with the whole "mini" thing.

*thinking about doing this dress for my lil' bro's wedding this summer.

doesn't the chick kinda look like mary from christmas vacation?

*thinking about starting these.

too bad i'm TERRIBLE about working out at home.

anyone ever done them?

*just finished reading this and this.

need to get this one asap.

they are a spin off of this series.

if you haven't' read the poison study series, do.

then start on the glass series.

*vernal has a new donut shop on hwy 40.

i visit at least once a week.

love me a good donut.

just sayin'.

*have recruited my talented almost sil

to help me make this for baby isaac.

thinking of putting bright blue minky on the back.

*got a package from sephora today.

pure happiness in a box.

will do a product review later in the week of the glorious contents.

*this coat. told ya i had a thing for coats. wouldn't it be perfect for spring?

*these naughty little calorie counters. i love pretend coconut. tried a real coconut once. didn't like it at all.

*reading. have read this, this, this, and this the past month. loved all 4 of them. when do i have time to read all these books you may ask? remember the part where i'm hooked to a machine like a farm animal at least 2 times a day? that's when. haven't watched days for a month now.

*this blog makes me really want to get into cookie decorating. i won't, and they would never look that good, but still...

*tried making something new in the kitchen and attempted this. filling, good. mini size, good (if i would've used the right kind of cupcake tin). crust, awful. i did use whole wheat flour (that's all we have), so maybe that's why it was disgusting. next time i'll just get a store bought pie crust.

*am thinking about doing this for friday. dave hates april fools. maybe if i made it silly instead of pranky he would like it.

*using this a lot lately. one of the best faux tans i've found so far. i feel so much better with a little bit of a tan. haven't been in a bed for over 3 years.

*munched on these all weekend.

seriously my favorite candy right now.
