Nicknames

I spotted these little blue guys in Preston tonight at the festival of lights. I just had to send this picture to my brother because all his friends somehow gave him the nickname Papa Smurf. I was never given a nickname... How about all you blog readers out there what was yours or what was the funniest one you have heard?

The 5am madness

I should be in bed! Tiara her sister and I went to the 5am sale in walmart! I thought I would feel out of place but there are as many men as almost as women.

*Cookie Monster*

So when I was in college I used to hide Dr. Pepper under my bed so that my roommates couldn't steel them (I had my own room that NOBODY was allowed in unless I was in it, I like my space and privacy). Well I thought that now that I was married and have shared my bedroom and all my stuff with Brett, that I didn't need to worry about hiding my goodies, unless its that time of the month and I am overwhelmed with the disease of the munchies. But this week I was a victim of treat secrecy. 

Brett came home with some Oreos the other night but when I didn't dive right into them he hid them! But I couldn't find them! Then on Saturday I found them, but only ate one. That BTW made one of my fillings fall out, so I didnt eat anymore. So he hid them again! Well sundays are my favorite days to munch so when I asked if he would get me two oreo's while I didnt look where they were. So he gave me two, a second later he gave me the package and told me that I could finish them off... I opened up the package with my mouth watering, to find an empty package!!

Out of the entire box...I ate 3! Somebody needs to work out, and it aint me!

Walk down memory lane...

Tiara discovered my old gameboy! I have lost her attention for ever!

You know its a funny thing the advances in technology. Look how big this thing is... You can't play it in the dark because it has no backlight like todays fancy handheld games. It has no color except two, lime green tint and black is what every game is played in.

First cross country!

I flew to Ogden today! It was awesome passing cars on the freeway!

And I said the same thing!  Love at First sight is real!!

He makes me feel like I am the only woman alive. I love how hard working he is, and how adventurous and active he is. He has done everything I have only dreamed of.  He is always so friendly and outgoing. We both have bubbly personalities.

So how's life?...

Well Brett and I are nestled into our loving home in Logan and well its safe to say that we have hit a routine in our daily lives. 

And its humorous when we I am bombarded with the same question whenever there is a pause in a conversation; or from someone that I have not seen in a while... So how's life?...

Do you really want to know?! 

Okay, here it is. Well this morning I woke to find Brett ready and leaving early to work; I went to work where the feeling of my life being on a conveyor belt, kicks in. And the most entertaining part of the day is when 2 of my (nicely put) lazy coworkers got their chairs taken out of their classroom so that they are forced to interact with the children, But don't worry they were given the chance to EARN them back!! After a few good laughs I left work to run to the bank to cash my paycheck before it closed. 

I then came home to my creepy neighbor sitting in his camp chair in his garage strategically placed right in front of where I park my car, forcing me to look at him awkwardly as I pull into the driveway and get out of my car to run into my house!

I make it in safely, lock the door behind me and start cleaning my unorganized organized house. Then my, younger brother comes to wash his laundry like he does almost every other week and my good good friend Wendy Jo York comes over for a play date to make bridal shower invitations while we watch ANTM. Then I waste however many hours playing with photoshop, all while my husband studies helicopters and threatens to shoot me because he needs the computer. I give up and retire to bed.

And that is how my life is...

Spin a kid!

So I had some fun with my nephew and neices this weekend! It was a game called Spin-a-kid! They then have to get up and try to run straight....they won't have to polish those floors for a while!

My cute nephew!

UEA Trip #2

Well after a fun filled day of kids and farms... We headed up to Idaho where we stayed Friday night at Deer Cliff Inn and had a fun night to ourselves in our 2 person cabin on the riverbank and ate dinner at a quaint restaurant. Then Saturday morning we met up with Brett's brother Ty and took a long intense ride from Cub River Idaho to Bloomington Lake. It was such a beautiful day for a ride. But man are we POOPED!! 

UEA Trip #1

So the first part of Brett and Mines break we went and stayed at a Hotel with my sister and her family. We then went to a place called Black Island Farms in Syracuse. It was kinda like a farm carnival for children, it was very creative and fun. We also got to pick some pumpkins. 

I love you, but I have to blow you up...

Nothing says I love you more than hearing your Husband saying, "Honey, I dont want to be married to you anymore, so im going to strap a bomb to your chest because that is the only way to get rid of you". Thank you Brett, I Love you too and Thank Heavens it was just a nightmare!

...but I still Love technology...Always and Forever!

As a lot of you know, my daddy was killed 3 years ago. So sadly Brett and I were not able to have him at our wedding. But I have been practising with photoshop and was able to make my dad Present at our wedding physically instead of just spiritually.

Seussland!

Its been a longtime since I have blogged, and I have been meaning to put these pictures of my classroom up. So welcome to Miss Tiara's 3yr old reading class! My school is decorated so creatively; each room, each hallway, every inch of wall is painted in characters, bugs, animals, scenery, fairytales, gameboards, disney...You name it, you'll see it. But of course my room is the coolest! I freaking love Dr. Seuss!
