wow yes it really has been 2 months since i updated....things have been busy we bought our house and have loved every minute of it...the lady who lived there before us had some INTERESTING paint style....good thing we saw the potential that this house can have! i dont have any pics of the front of the house but ill take some........ps the yellow really is MUCH brighter in person.....and that isnt a good thing...it looks like perpetual daytime in our house



this is looking upstairs.....right into our creamsicle bedroom....


lovely closet doors in our bedroom.....with the coordinating orange paint...yikes i know

FINALLY!!!!..............a new post :)

its about time for a new post...since its been about 5 or so weeks since the last one.....


i celebrated my 25th birthday...i feel like im 100.....



a few weeks after that we woke up one morning to discover....
if you cant tell that is ANKLE deep water outside of our apartment door....we live in the basement and luckily it didnt flood but it prompted us to get in gear to.....BUY A HOUSE!
we have been looking for awhile and hadn't seen anything we liked but we found one and made an offer, they accepted, and we close the beginning of july!

so since we are getting a house we decided it was time for another....
here she is with lily....
isn't she cute? we love scotties and knew we wanted another one as soon as we got a house so we looked on KSL and here is our new baby Piper

as soon as i get some pics of the house ill post some....

Jazz game....

we decided last minute to go to the jazz game last night....good thing we did cause we had a BLAST! the delta center was ROCKIN'!!!! i think we are their good luck charm cause they won...must be because we were there. :)

we had such a blast that we bought tickets to go saturday night too! go jazz!


it looks like we have major bags under our eyes in this pic.....late night for us!


we totally sat in the B.F.E. but hey it was still fun!

you MUST MUST MUST click HERE

it gave me the giggles all day.


i cant decide which ones i like best but "Wayne and Jeffrey: Evolution" JUST might get my vote..... :)

How would you like....

i read this on cjane's blog today....."The thought hit me that I think I judge a woman's character on the idea of being her daughter.If I'd like to be her daughter (for a day, let's say) I judge her to be a good woman. Now, if you think this is narrow-minded of me, I will say that I just sat in the tub for the last half hour and thought of women who I don't especially like but I'd still be willing to be their offspring. Both real and fictional characters. Emma Woodhouse would make a fun mom, no? As would Cruella De Vil (especially if you like both black and white). And for the sake of pop culture, how would you like to be Paula Abdul's daughter? Think about that one."

i like this idea.....

-Princess Di....that would be fun to be her daughter, she was so pretty

-The "Octo-Mom"....now THAT would be interesting....

-Michelle Obama....she seems like a good mom....so according to Cjane that makes her a good woman...

-Tina Turner....she seems like fun....she would wear short dresses and dance around in her kitchen and be a fun mom

-Denise Richards....she seems like a nightmare to me...yikes....

a lot of people say to me "it must be fun to have your mom as your mom...."

and yes, it IS fun to have my mom and to be her daughter....

Im so lucky.

Lucky me.

random things...

Few things....

-im really liking our new bird Clover...he/she tweets when i watch QVC or the home shopping network....i knew we would get along....

-we are going here to celebrate my father in laws birthday and to eat lots of these

-im reading this it was recommended by several people....and so far....its interesting...its a short book which is a good thing cause i dont know how much longer i can read about a torrid love affair between a 15 year old boy and a 30 year old woman....i have always thought i could dig deep into a book but really? this book might be trying my patience....i heard the ending is interesting....if so that will be the saving grace of this book!



ps if anyone has read "The Reader" let me know so ill keep going...

After much consideration and talking we have decided to adopt a baby.....

pink dolphin...i love it

In Lake Calcasieu, Louisiana, a wonder worthy of Hello Kitty has been discovered!

A pink dolphin!

The dolphin's "stunningly pink" color is the result of albinism, which is indicated by its red eyes as well as its pink skin. Don't worry, the dolphin is totally healthy. He's just pink!

Charter boat captain Erik Rue spotted and photographed the pink dolphin, saying, "I had never seen anything like it. It's the same color throughout the whole body and it looks like it just came out of a paint booth."


Regina Asmutis-Silvia, senior biologist with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society reminds folks to "be careful, as with any dolphins, to respect it - observe from a distance, limit their time watching, don't chase or harass it."

That way everyone can enjoy the fabulous dolphin for as long as he lives!
