Mi Mama

I just wanted to give a quick shout out to my beautiful, wonderful, loving, sweet, mom. She had her 60th birthday yesterday and came to spend the weekend with me in Utah. Little did she know she would be sitting by my side as I was on my death bed all weekend. My parents drove all day Friday to spend the weekend with me and Mitch, and Friday afternoon I got so sick I could have died! My dear mama stayed with me the whole time. Definitely a different weekend than what we would have planned but, I really did have fun. It was so good to see her and my dad, and just catch up and visit.

I have the best Mom ever, she is the perfect example of a true lady. I always hope that someday I will turn out to be half as good as she is. AND ISN'T SHE A BEAUTY FOR AGE 60?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I LOVE YOU!!

Vegas Vic

Well Jenn made a Blog for Dad.... Don't worry Mom, yours is on its way. This picture describes Dad perfectly. He taught school for who knows how long, and every year he would decorate his own school picture. My dad is the funniest person on this Earth. I could sit for hours on end laughing at him. His sense of humor and wit are 2nd to none, and I am sure anyone that knows him can attest to that.

Love ya Pops!

Hawaii Here We Come

I know it is a ways away, but I seriously can't wait! I have never been to Hawaii and Jon has been twice, so we figured it was my turn to go! So from March 8-15 we will soaking up the sun Hawaii style. I am so exited! If anyone has any suggestions on what to do let me know, I am planning to do it all!

Hair Care

So this is random, but I just saw this picture of myself and I was reminded how AMAZING my shampoo and conditioner are. I talk about it alot but I can't believe the difference in my hair! My sister got me hooked on this stuff and I will die if it ever is dicontinued. Look at my hair (same length it is now) before I used this stuff, and look at it after using this stuff... I am telling you this stuff is amazing. I NEVER HAVE BREAKAGE ANYMORE!

Look at my wispy ends and breakage all on the sides

Sort of a bad shot, but you get the jist, it is much better

I use the absoulute repair, I couldn't find a pic but it looks just like this but a yellow bottle

Christmas and Whatever

So I have not been much of a poster lately (am I ever), but I had a few pictures that I figured I would put up on the old blog. Then maybe my sisters will decide to put something new up?? All in all this Christmas was great! We had such a fun time. We went to Vegas to be with my family and I DID NOT WANT TO COME HOME! The weather was nice, I had no obligations or worries, it was just a fun relaxing Christmas and I am so thankful for the family I got to be with. Johnny and Kelley came down with the boys and that is always exciting. There aren't three cuter, funnier, little boys. I wish everyone could have been there, but now a days its not as easy for all 25 people to meet up...Except for Beach Week.... Can't wait for that!

Wowzers!

Jessica and Alexis... it was fun having a kid there that day

A really cute bracelet that Jon got me

3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4. Let each person know that they’ve been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

Okay so here are seven random things about me.

1. Since Jessica made me mention this.... All growing up I "thought" my tailbone hurt, each night before bed Jessica had to push on it 100 times before I could go to sleep. The hurt tailbone got me many things in life, the front seat of the car on road trips, I got to rock in the car without being told not to (some will get that), and many more things that I can't think of. In all honesty I always thought my tailbone felt weird, but I am quite sure now it was in my head.

2. I rock, so nice that i can openly say this now without feeling like I should be checked in. Now, I don't care who knows.

3. Growing up I wanted to get my little brother in trouble so I once told on him for melting ice... Yes he was doing it, but wow, did I really think he would get in trouble for it? Whats worse is that I was probably 13 or 14...

4. I was voted biggest flirt in high school. They finally just stopped counting the votes cause there wasn't a chance anyone else could catch up, at least that is what I was told.... I still don't really see how I was flirting, but I always had fun :)

5. I ate a footlong chili cheese dog from Dairy Queen (of all places) almost everyday in eighth grade.

6. I secretly wish I could be an amazing singer and dancer and would love to perform for huge audiences.

7. I am getting hella good at Guitar Hero!

HAVE YOU SEEN IT???

Okay so my sisters and I went to see a movie called Bella last week while I was in Vegas. IT WAS SO SO GOOD. It is sort of an Independant film so there hasn't been tons of hype about it, but it is compared to a Its a Beautiful Life and it is # 1 movie out right now... I think, I read that somewhere. Anyways, I suggest you see it. It really is so freaking good, with just a really good message.

An international soccer star (Eduardo Verástegui) is on his way to sign a multi-million dollar contract when something happens that brings his career to an abrupt end. A waitress (Tammy Blanchard), struggling to make it in New York City, discovers something about herself that she's unprepared for. In one irreversible moment, their lives are turned upside down...until an impetuous action brings them together and turns an ordinary day into an unforgettable experience. Once a famous athlete, and now a cook at his brother's Mexican restaurant, José has retreated from the world but he recognizes something in Nina, a young waitress, and reaches out to her. In the course of a single day, he not only confronts his past but shows her how the healing power of a family can help her embrace the future.

If for anything else, go for the characters......

The Big Apple

We just got back from NY the other day it let me tell you it was so fun! We surprised Jon's mom for her 60th birthday. She knew she was going but she had no idea anyone else was going. We were waiting at Tavern on the Green already seated, and the hostess brought her and Ray (her husband) back to our table... She was very shocked. It was a great and fun surprise. Anyway New York was a blast. I love that place. We really had so much fun. Take a look at our pics. Oh and we went to WICKED... that was my second time and it was WONDERFUL!

Jon and I at dinner at The View on top of the Marriott. The restaurant rotates so you get a view of the whole city.

Everyone leaving OZ. Wicked is so unreal!

So really great that this guy tricked me into thinking he would draw a great picture of me for $5. Turned out the picture was awful and was the laughing stock of the day. Not only that, he made me pay an extra $10 for the stupid paper frame! $15 in all for the piece of crap below that looks NOTHING LIKE ME!

"Chubby Jayne" as everyone called her

Too cute not to share. I just wanted this on my blog. What a cute picture! Again, I could eat them! I have the cutest nieces and nephews on both sides!

Tagged Again!

Rules: List six habits facts/habits yourself. Try to find ones you haven't already posted about:

1) I can eat 24/7. My brain doesn't communicate to my stomach that it is full until about 20 bites too late... Hence my constant "i want to throw up feeling"

2) I used to play the drums and was first chair in Junior High (big accomplishment)

3) I am actually quite athletic. I pick up on sports easy and actually would enjoy playing them more if I had any friends!

4) I LOVE LOVE LOVE making my house cute. There are so many things I want to do! I am in the process of redoing my bedroom. Standy by I will post pictures... It may look like a circus :)

5) I was arrested in Panama for a few hours. One of the scariest times of my life... For sure thought I was going to get raped or something.

6) I want an aqua convertible 1967 (if they even made them that year) Mustang, with white leather seats.

Meme: Life-fixing classes
Devise a list of 5-10 courses you would take to fix your life. It’s more fun to be in classes with friends, so include one class from the person who tagged you that you’d also like to take. Tag five.

Considering I love learning but don't like school all that much this should be interesting...

Book of Mormon 101: I would love for Jon and I to take a religion class. I used to go to institute every now and then and have to admit I LOVED IT! I really learned so much, so if I could I would love to learn more about the BofM

Cake Decorating: 101 I want to learn how to decorate cakes so bad! I loved my wedding cake and loved searching for the perfect wedding cake. The whole time I wished I knew how to make something pink and gorgeous!

Music (mainly piano) 101: I love the piano, there is nothing more gorgeous than a depressing song on the piano that makes you want to ball like a baby. I am planning on taking lessons but if there was a class that would guarantee me to be a pro, I would be there no matter what! It would be fun to take this class with my mommy. She would keep my encouraged to keep trying!

Re-upholstery 920: Notice the high number on this one?? This means I REALLY would love to take a class and learn how to upholster my own furniture. I WOULD LOVE TO TAKE THIS COURSE WITH: Jessica, Kelley, Jill, Jennifer. My sisters that share in my same style we would have a blast and learn from each others individual style. My style is a little unique and it just seems like I can't find anything that great in Utah. I love antique stores and that is mainly where I shop (that or a garage sale). I would love to turn people's junk into my treasure with a beautiful new fabric.

Cooking 101: My poor husband... I really believe him when he says he loves what I cook, the problem is... I never cook. If I had out of this world recipes that were easy and fun to make, I am sure I would do it more. All of my recipes come from my dad, which I must admit, they are great, and delicious! I would love to learn how to mix foods and create a recipe from scratch to create something unique and delish. This class would definitely be shared with my Dad.

That was fun Kelley, makes you realize there are alot of things out there that would be fun to learn to do. Maybe I should try some of it :)

My Favies

I got these pics off of my sister-in-law's blog. I thought they were cute so I had to steal them. The one with the marker... yeah that is a daily occurance, that is my oldest brother letting his boys draw on him. At least it isn't on the walls, I guess. Here are a few of my nieces and nephews. So cute I can't stand it.

What the H

So I know I am so back and forth with the blog sometimes I like it sometimes I freaking hate it, but I have decided I am going to be a bit better at it. I am going onvacation soon and I will be coming back with some sweet pics. So all i have to say for now is that tonight I bought some proactive. I decided I really loved my skin years ago when I used it, so i wanted to try it again.... Shout out to proactive.... I know I am goint to get a thousand people saying, it doesn't work, its bad for your skin, it ages you faster... but oh well! I will see how it goes.

Beach Week

I know I know, I am the worst blogger but I have been gone alot in August and I have been so busy! My family takes a week and goes to the beach each year. This year we went to Outer Banks North Carolina. By far the best beach in the US :) At least I think so. Perfect water temp, fun waves, and a house that was literally steps from the beach.
This is my favorite time of the year. The company is the best part. There is nothing like being with your best friends day in and day out for a whole week straight. I don't have kids so you can take a look at the people I adore... Mom, Dad, sisters, brothers, nieces, nephews, and of course my hella hot hubby.
