I found this blog through…actually, I can’t remember where I found the link, but I’m really enjoying it! She has so many fun things and ideas on there, so many give aways, and it’s just fun!
I’ve kind of become a blog-stalker…so many people have blogs that give great ideas, inspiration, and fun things to try. Thank you to everyone who has a blog! You keep me quite entertained!!!

So, after 30 minutes outside talking with my neighbor, Shana (who the day before FRIED the back of her legs and I laughed at her), I ended up looking like this!

And all I can say is OUCH! OUCHIE! Please, pity me! 🙂

I just had to share this gorgeous sunset with you.

I am going to guess this is Mikey’s but I just thought it was funny because I found it in my CHEESE drawer in the fridge. Is someone stealing my “cheese sticks?”

My friend, Triana Ord, is starting her photography business and I am so excited to watch her portfolio grow! She will be doing our family photos next Saturday and I’m SO excited! She is such an amazingly creative woman and I know her business will be successful. Take a look at her website and take a look often because I know it’ll continue to grow and be simply great!

Mike and Coley came over tonight to watch the season finale of American Idol. I was rooting for David Archaleta.  We watched the whole 2 hours, enjoying the singing (especially both Davids singing with the ZZ Topp and One Republic) and the humor. We were  watching the last 2 minutes…

The Next American Idol is…

And the recording stopped. That’s right…it stopped. I was SO not happy! I even said “What the hell?!?!?” and Nicole laughed.  We looked online and found the last few seconds of that sentence. Congrats David Cook! Archaleta will still do great things, that I’m sure of.

So, I’m not a very good fruit person. Oranges take too long to peel, Apples taste better with caramel, bananas are just gross, and strawberries have too many seeds. Well, I’ve learned to adapt my ‘pickiness’ with strawberries and now I can’t get enough (but WHY did it have to happen at the end of strawberry season?) My solution?…

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!

I just wanted everyone to know what a fantastic husband I have. Steve really is amazing and has so many wonderful qualities about him.

I love that we are best friends and still have a ton of fun together. I love watching movies with him every night before bed, even if the sleep is only set for 20 minutes. I love that we hold hands in the car. I love that he kisses me before he leaves and that he always says “I love you too” before we hang up…sometimes before I even get a chance to say “I love you” first. I love his teasing nature. I love when he grabs me for a hug as I’m walking past (even though most of the time I’m in the middle of doing something and, in the moment, thinks he should wait…it still shows me how much he loves me. I love his patience and understanding. I love his encouragement in my hobbies. I love that he buys whatever computer software/hardware that I need to make me happy…”More hard drive space!”. I love when he rubs my shoulders. I love that we can play games together and make sure that we’re not “being nice” (cause when it comes to games…there’s no being nice!). I love that he “taxes” the chocolate milk he makes me, just because he knows I love it and can’t turn it down. I love that he teaches me knew things every time we cook together. I love that he gets the mail every day since I’m usually too lazy to walk to the mailbox (sad, I know). I love when he makes sure our feet are at least touching when we fall asleep. I love that he still thinks I’m attractive, even though I don’t think I am. I love that he will talk in Italian because I can’t understand, especially when he talks about me.  I love that he works so hard to keep our lives comfy and that he studies so hard to make our future stable. I love what a wonderful and fun daddy he is to our little rugrats. I love that he gets tackled by Spencer and Evie every time he walks through the door and enjoys every minute of it. I love that Sunday mornings usually begin with a wrestling match on the bed (I’m usually the spectator). I love his example of serving others, even when a ‘thanks’ is not returned. I love his testimony of our Savior and of the Gospel. I love the sacrifices he makes for me and our children. I love his knowledge and his logical thinking. I love when he teases me by telling me what he learned in his math or computer classes right as we’re laying down for bed (I don’t want to think before I fall asleep!) I love how he respects his parents. I love how he refuses to let our children disrespect me…and how he’ll refuse to let them when they’re older. I love when he falls asleep watching a movie or show. I love when I have the blankets pulled up to my chin, he has kicked everything off and onto me so I stay warm.

I love my wonderful, brilliant, sweet, handsome, funny, terrific, loving husband and best friend, Stephen.

Here you go guys….a link to the Twilight teaser. I’m starting to get excited…even though I’m not too pleased with “Cedric” being MY Edward. Anywho…here it is:
