"fork and knife"

Logan and I are funny.


So, I got back from Idaho a couple days ago. We went up to hang out with Logan's family and it was a fun trip. Everything is super green right now, and the weather is sunny and perfect.

While we were there, we were making breakfast one morning, when we decided to brighten everyone's day with a little surprise....as seen here:

oh man. We had to hurry and sneak do it while everyone was out of the kitchen, and then we anxiously waited the next morning for someone to make eggs for breakfast. There is just something super funny about opening up a carton of eggs and finding these guys inside.

After his Mom had discovered them and we decided to make eggs of our own, I could hear Logan over by the pan whimpering "I'm sorry!" to the little eggs as he cracked them open. There is just something so hard about cracking them when they're looking at you so pleadingly...

"I've got my rock moves!..."

Happy June!

I know, it's a little late in the month to be wishing everyone that, but I love June.

So...we have a lot of birthdays in the family this month, 8, actually. Including baby Nathan. Here we all are, (Uncle Michael, Tamara, Me, Logan, Curtis, Savannah, and Tiffany) except Nathan was havin a little rockin party elsewhere. He'll be old enough to join us when he turns 1. :)

Melinda decided to throw us all an amazingly rockin birthday party on Saturday. And when I say rockin...I mean it. I got my concert ticket in the mail, and I was all set to go. We got our hands stamped when we went in, and beforehand we filled out a survey of the best concerts we've been to...ones we'd like to go to...best stories...and we stood onstage while their pictures were displayed. Um...hello? Who wouldn't want to stand on a stage with giant pictures of Jonny and Taylor and the like next to them? ... I guess everyone doesn't have the same dreams as I do. It was awesome.

So anyway, there were tons of things at the party to turn yourself into a rocker, and everyone was looking mighty rockish after awhile. We all got songs and performed them, too, like we used to when we were little...which was a hoot. I never knew my Uncle Mike had such sass! It was pretty amazing. I'm debating whether to post my group's video or not. Perhaps not.

Another successful party and another rock filled day. *sigh*...what a great weekend. We're awesome. Thanks for the party, Melinda! It was a blasty blast.
Oh yeah, sidenote: so the whole day I'm trying to play with Carly, and get her to come to me- which she only did occasionally. Insert saddest picture of the day here:

And then later at my house I was coaxing her into watching The Little Mermaid with me and telling her all about how handsome Prince Eric was, and she was okay until Rebecca walked into the room- then she was a goner. Which is understandable, cause she's always been like that with Becki. But THEN, Becki left, and I thought I had my chance. No such luck. She wasn't havin' any of it....when out of nowhere, so walks up to Logan, scoots her little self over til she's all snuggled up, and cuddles with him while they watch the movie together! Excuse me?! I just looked at her and said, "Really, Carly? Are you serious?" and she glanced at me for a second, got up and reached for something, and then scooted right back in to Logan again. I'm so sure! Some people's kids...

"will we be restless for the rest of our lives?"

Michaelangelo is restless. So am I.

I think we both need a good trip to the sunshine. 

So, today it sprinkled a bit..again...and I was at an outdoor wedding. The cool thing was, it stayed sunny and warm the whole time. Ah, Florida. It was good enough that I could pretend I was there for those 5 minutes. Homesick? Yes I am.

Also, I updated istar yesterday. (my iphone)...technically I'm supposed to be able to get picture mail now, but I still can't til late summer. Funny to be so excited about something that I don't think I've ever had a phone that couldn't do. Lame. One of these days.

My roommate hung a wooden windchime outside and it just started doing it's thing. Not obnoxiously like some windchimes, but pretty. It makes me want to be in a beach house somewhere.

Alright, I guess that's it. Sorry. I'll try and liven things up a bit so I'll have more exciting things to post.

"when I was 25..."

So...in other news...I haven't updated in forever. Again. Obviously I have a new nephew that is adorable, and that has been the biggest event going on as of late. I can't wait to see him again.

I guess I'll write about what else I've been up to. I went to Idaho two weekends ago with Logan. I swear, as much as I've teased about Idaho in the past, that state has the prettiest sunsets. I found that out when I went to school there, and then realized it again this time. The trip was really fun, and I ran into another friend of mine at church from Provo that lives there now. Logan's family was great and strangely similar to mine. Oddly enough, one of the only pictures I have from the trip is Mr. Jolly Green Giant. Just to clarify- this was in the waiting room in a potato factory, not in Logan's family's living room like it might appear. I didn't think it looked like that, but since my parent's asked...I guess I should be clear...Because there would be something so wrong about that.
Oh yeah- and since the last time I blogged I got older. I'm 25 now! I know. I'm kind of a big deal. I'm old enough to..rent a car and take it out of state if I want. So I've got that going for me. Just in case.
I asked Logan to write me a song for my birthday, which he pretended he wasn't going to do- until my birthday came, and he busted out into a Spanish ballad. My one requirement was that it be in English, so after that he sang me my real song.
It tells our story. ...which is basically, we met two years ago while we worked at Best Buy, but we were both dating other people. We kept in contact every once in awhile through facebook or myspace, and a few months ago we went to the movies and we've been pretty inseparable ever since. :)

Oh also- I got a new roommate, Kari. My other one got married and abandoned us, but this one is tons better, and it's been fun having her. Yesterday she invited me to her "glitter toe party" she had in the living room, which turned out to be a pretty fancy spa setup when I got out there, and now I have beautiful toes. Thank you. I guess that's all of my updates for now.

"welcome to the planet...welcome to existance...."

Jason and Colie had a baby!
He's adorable. He's having a little trouble right now, so, to try and help Jason and Colie update everyone on the statuses, we're hopefully going to be good about updating this blog for everyone:

"Fading everything to black and blue, You look a lot like you..."

Hurray for fun hair!

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted black and blue hair. It is a lot harder to come by than one might think in a casual glance at someone with such hair. Yesterday, I decided to do it. I'd been debating red for awhile, and actually started to go with that, when suddenly I thought "wait...what am I thinking?!" and went with the blue. Woo hoo! is all I have to say about it.

Oh, and Mom...before you get mad...just think of it as a tribute to your beloved Adam Lambert. You said yourself his hair was amazing, even after I pointed out the blue in it. So instead of getting upset, just think...what would Adam do?


Adam...thanks....this one's in your honor.
