Happy... Un-Birthday?

Today Dane and I went to Hunter's pre-school class and celebrated his summer birthday with his classmates. We brought a big cookie (courtesy of Publix) decorated with bugs. The kids enjoyed eating their slices of cookies!

Hunter was so happy!




Hunter's teachers, Miss Sheila and Miss DeAnna, told me that he's been eyeing this particular present all year long and he FINALLY was able to get it. (Parents donate one wrapped gift at the beginning of the school year and the teachers keep them in a closet and whoever is celebrating picks what gift they want out of the bunch)


Hunter totally does not look like a 3 year old in this picture. Is it me or does he look much older?! That added in with his height, makes for a very mature looking Hunter, I think. My baby is growing up. FYI- He doesn't turn 4 until July.

Likes

It's good to like things. It feels good. It sometimes makes you giddy. I tend to smile a lot, maybe even laugh when I really like something.

I really like this pasta. It is so good to me. It's really great for pasta salads (thanks to Carla) and even that spaghetti mixture bake thing in the casserole dish that you get at ward suppers is even better!

I'm seriously in-like with this show. It's a complete train wreck and full of stupid drama, but I can't stop watching these. Shock value. That has to be it. Don't judge me, either. We all have our guilty pleasures...

I love this bag! ahem, mother's day, maybe... (zappos.com- fossil sutter large top zip)

I've been eating brussel sprouts a lot lately and when I eat them, my body has this reaction to them that goes something like... "ahhhhh." Not the screaming AHHHH! but the holy cow, thank you for filling me with nutrition kind of ahhhh. Vitamin deficient, much?! I think yes. (But I have started my vitamin regimen this morning- we'll see if my sloth like ways pep up a bit)

Edward/Rob who? Damon, Damon, Damon (Ian Somerhalder-Vampire Diaries). He is my new crush these days. Oh and I heard a rumor that he will also be starring in The Host movie coming out in 2011. Ride that "Twilight/Stephenie Meyer Wave"... smart and good-looking.

These e-trade commercials crack me up. I think I laugh at everyone of them!!

Those of you that know me, know that I really enjoy reading... especially when I come across some GREAT reads. So this book is the first in The Kate Daniels' series. This books is followed by Magic Burns, Magic Strikes, and Magic Bleeds (which comes out May 25th woot, woot). These are not smutty just full of excitement with a ton of cool characters. There is some angst, but it's clean. yay!

So here's a challenge to the 2 people that actually read my blog, make a list of things you like and post them on your blogs. Let me know you did it, so I can have something fun to read besides who ate what on Facebook...

Look what the Easter Bunny left us

So instead of leaving colored eggs,candy and assorted prizes, the Easter Bunny went a rompin in our backyard and left us 6 little somethin'-somethins' in a little hole out back. They were just discovered yesterday. Apparently they've been there for quite a while... Matt even mowed over the hole and didn't even know it. (I know, right?!) Mama bunny came home to find baby bunnies exposed so she shed a huge amount of hair to cover them. Matt saw a pile of fur and decided to investigate, now we are waiting for them to get big enough and start jumping around the backyard. :)

***Update*** We found the bunnies the other day and they died. We told the boys they hopped away. Sad.

Too Mainstream?

I will answer this question... Yes. But this is still pretty cool.

**not that you don't already know this, but you can "pause" my stellar playlist (if I may say so myself) to watch this.

Out with the Old in with the NEW!

I really like new stuff. Or old stuff redone to look new and fresh. Distressed stuff is cool too when done the right way... I digress... Does anything look different around here? I'm diggin the new hawtness of my blog! I would like to give a shout out (Whoot, Whoot!!!) while attempting the tootsie roll to my friend, Jamie, who took some major time out of her family life to come be my own personal blogger slave!

***And the amazing picture in the header was taken while Matt and I were in Hilton Head for a much needed couples weekend back in January. We were both taken aback by the sheer beauty of these trees!***

Observations

Observing: I feel like I do a lot of this during the day. There is a lot that facinates me and then there are things that... anyways- here are a few observations I've made- some I discovered a while ago some I thought of or saw today. It was a list in the making

Oranges- No 2 oranges ever taste the same. This happened just today- I ate 2 oranges back to back and they were completely different to the taste.

Showers-You never fully wake up for the day until you've had one.

Expensive Shampoo-IS actually better than the cheap stuff- no one can tell me any different, I won't believe you.

Cool Ranch Doritos-are awesome!... however, they leave you with the breath of a dragon and the aftertaste of bile. Too graphic of a discription?

Best Candy Invention. Ever.
I found these in a gas station- I became giddy with laughter when I found this sweet gift from the Mars company. I've waited for this for YEARS, I'm telling you!

Twilight- still a fan, but as I've stated before, Twilight merchandise is at the top of my list to win the most creeptastic award.

Kids- they ignore you for the better part of a day until you decide to hit the computer or make the dreaded "business" calls. As soon as one or both of these activities begin, the fighting starts, someone needs a drink, someone needs to pee, or they simply decide to come sit on your lap.

Two-faced- There really is a such thing as a good side of the face- "Get my good side" when taking a picture. I know that's true with me at least...
Maybe not this extreme though. (sorry, couldn't resist)

Check out Rob in these pictures- 2 different angles and 2 different looks...

This may not have been the best example, but he's still fun to look at, yes? :)

Throwing up- it's gross when your kids do it, but it's gross and a bit humorous when your husband does it. Is there an elephant in the bathroom? Sorry, husbands, I couldn't help this one. Much love.

Heart on the chest tattoo- oooookaaaayyyy, yeah, I saw this one in Target just yesterday. Seemed like a nice gal, but seriously?! I've seen some tats in my day, but this one topped 'em. I really wanted to snap a picture, but there was no way I could do it inconspicuously, so I googled it. And what do you know?... There are other cuckoos that did this too! So here's an example of what I saw.
This was the scale of the one I saw and that one was in black and white.

Moving on... and finally the last one for this post

Misspellings- I don't like it when a business or a company purposely misspells their company name or a product. Example: I was in the carpool line waiting today and on the back of a BMW X5 was the name of the car place where it was purchased. CARZZZZ. yep. One more example- "Krab Kakes"- don't know the brand, but I know I've seen these and I just don't feel comfortable buying a product with a spelling like this nor would I ever purchase a vehicle from a place that uses multiple z's in place of a single s.

That's it for now. I've had fun writing this post. Maybe I'll start voicing my observations more. If you have one, leave it in the comment section. It would be fun to read one of your observations!

Robert is Bothered by Robert is Bothered!

I'm psychic! Seriously. I dvr-ed Jimmy Fallon last night because Robert Pattinson was going to be on. (I know, sad.) As I lay there drifting to sleep, I thought- "man, it would be so funny if Robert Pattinson got up in the tree with Jimmy Fallon and spoofed with him." Enjoy! SOO FUNNY!
