Bored or Thoughtful?

I checked my e-mail last night and this is what I found on my Gmail homepage. The Twilight background. Although, I'm not the one that did it. Ben was either really bored at school, or he was thoughtful. I can't decide which, so we'll go with thoughtful. Maybe making up for the butt comment? Thanks Ben for my now awesome background.

More Favorites and a Super Story

I forgot a few other favorite things. These are my super favorites. I can't believe I forgot them.

1). My Kitchen Aid Mixer. Awesomeness. It really is a ball of awesome in one machine. I feel so lazy using it. It just does the nasty work for you. I even did mashed potatoes with it. I really has some balls that's for sure.

2). My Kitchen Radio/CD Player. I listen to music all day long. This really does get me motivated to cook/clean in the Kitchen. And it does not take up a lot of space. I highly recommend you getting one if you like music.

3). And last (well for now). I love my Reef flip flops. I wear them all Summer long, and I'm not talking about Kidd Rock's song. They are so comfy. They just mold to your feet. Ben bought me my first pair when we were engaged and they have been my favorite since then. I also buy them for my boys. You can buy them online, or I go to Journeys Kidz to get them.

I was trying to get the boys ready for bed and they ran off and hid on the stairs (the stairs were dark, the flash made them light). It was cute that Ethan was following Ryan's lead. Crazy boys.

Here they are tonight eating cookie dough and apple sauce. I only have to use 4 tablespoons of applesauce for my cookie recipe so I let them eat the rest of it.

And like I said before, I have a lot of favorite things so I might add more again later.


STORY:
When Ben got home from school last night I was doing my "pretend" sexy walk down the hall (in my pj's). Ben asked me if that was supposed to be sexy, because it wasn't.
I said, "what you don't think I look sexy with my saggy butt?"
He said, "well you could do those exercises I showed you the other night".
Then I got mad at him, "Ben I wasn't talking about my actual butt! I was talking about my saggy pajama bottoms, they go like clear down to my knees!".
Then we laughed and laughed. Ben kept trying to back pedal saying I didn't really have a saggy butt, he was just kidding. But now I know the truth. It looks like I need to do "some of those butt exercises".

My Super Awesome Favorite Things List

I got the "favorite things" idea from a friend. I love hearing what other people's favorite things are. So when you're finished reading mine, please do yours. Here are my favorite things in no particular order or number of things. This is not including the normal favorites...Family etc.

1). Five Guys Burgers and Fries. Seriously, if you have not had one of their burgers and fries, you are missing out. Fresh and delicious. I'm a sucker for a good burger and fries.

2). Twilight Books. Twilight Movies. Twilight Trailers. Twilight Blogs. Twilight Actors/Actresses. Talking Twilight. If it has to do with Twilight, you name it, I love it!

3). Michael Jackson. How can you not sing along to Billy Jean? This was the first song I did Karaoke in front of my in-laws. I love his music. I ignore his personal life because I love his music so much. Why ban his awesome music just because he's not all there?

4). DVR. We are a little behind. We just go DVR a month ago. I don't know how I ever lived without it. I can pause The Bachelorette while I take a pee, or fast forward through the commercials. Awesome!

5). Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Homemade of course. Forget the cookies, just give me the damn dough!

6). My Pillow. Call me a weirdo but I can't sleep somewhere else without it. It's like a baby and their Binky. I love them smell of my own pillow.

7). Pepsi. The real stuff. Not the diet. I really need to loose some weight, and I just don't know how I'm going to give this up. I just look at a Pepsi logo and I need to go get one. Yes, it's called Addiction.

8). Estee Lauder makeup. I'm a sucker for department store makeup. I don't get it that often anymore, but when I do...it is surely a treat.

9). Big Star Jeans from The Buckle. They're pretty pricey, so I usually get one pair a year. But I LOVE them.

10). My blog. Whoever invented blogs is a freaking genius.

11). A1 Steak Sauce. This one is for my in-laws. I'll have to tell you the story another day. I could drink that stuff.

12). The word Super. I love using this word whenever possible. It's the super coolest word ever.

I'm sure I'm missing a lot of favorite things, but that's all I'll do for now. Now it's your turn.


*Shout out to my brother Jud! Happy Birthday!

Too Daring to Say White Trash?

I was driving to a wedding reception in Tooele with Ben the other day. And this is a sign (below) I saw at a local pawn shop. Am I the only one who thinks they're marketing to the people in the picture above?

The Splash Park

Yes, I think my children are pretty adorable. So here is another post about them. Ethan loved the Splash Park. He would run out in the water for about 5 minutes then run back and get under the towel to get warm...then run back out into the water again. What's with this weird weather? I'd like it to get sunny and warm again so we can go play again. When it does get warm...anyone is welcome to come to the splash park with us!

Here is Ryan. When did he grow up? He looks really big here. Man I'm getting old.

Here are the neighbor kids at our house coloring with Ryan & Ethan. It's fun having friends so close.

The Suitcase Man

I'm posting now, but I actually don't have much time. I have some of the neighbor kids over at the house and I have to pay attention. So this will not be my normal awesomeness post I usually do. And if it doesn't make sense, you know why. This is Ryan and his friend Aislyn at the movies. We took them to see A Night at The Museum...I like the 2nd one way better!

No they did not drink all that soda....I helped of course.

Ryan and Dad went to Father's a Sons last Friday night and Ethan wanted to go. He was trying to climb on top of Ben's bag hoping Dad would take him too. Poor guy...maybe next year.

Seriously, he looks like a super hero here...like the Suitcase Man or something.

Above is a picture Ryan took. Don't you love when your kids take pictures and when you load them on the computer it totally surprises you what a cute picture it is!

Ethan loves his baseball hat. He wanted to sleep with it the other night and got so mad when I tried to take it away.

Ryan and Ethan playing video games waiting for the Dentist.

I love Pediatric Dentists! They really cater to the kids and it makes the trip so much easier. Ryan does not have any cavities and his teeth look great! It also looks like he has Ben's big mouth and might not need braces (unless his permanent teeth are huge). Ethan gets to go to the dentist with Ryan in 6 months. My boys are getting so big!

Totally Awesomeness.
