Happy Birthday Pat

Today is my husbands birthday. He's one year closer to 40. For about a month each year we are the same age - but he is once again officially older than I am:)

As a side note even though I'm pretty sure noone cares but me - but I'm pretty sure the braids are making a comeback as we speak. YAY!!!

Here are some things you may not know about him.

• He is a HUGE redskins fan - despite the name.


• He is wrapped around Hillary's little finger. He readily admits this though so it's not really a bad thing.


• He is the best one at regular braids of the two of us. I'm better at fancy though.
• He ran track, wrestled and played baseball in High School. I hear he was pretty good too.
  
• He loves WWE and WWF. (That's professional wrestling for those of you who don't know.)


• He is a sucker for muscle cars. His dream is to get his Camaro back.



• He likes his food spicy. The hotter the better. His body does not always agree anymore though.



• He is hands down the best Barbequer I have ever met. He can cook anything and almost always does it to perfection.

Happy Birthday Pat. I love you.

New Layout

As you can see - I have a new background. I had to get rid of the Valentines - but there weren't any St. Patricks options on the site I love to use. So this is what you get till something better comes along. It looks to me like a baby boy blog - but rest assured I am not making any announcements with it's use, so don't ask. Just enjoy the cute little elephant up there...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BENJAMIN!

It's hard to believe my nephew is already 2!! I'm sure it's even harder for his parents to believe that though.

This is little Benjamin on his blessing day almost 2 years ago.

These are the pictures I borrowed off his mom's facebook page - I sadly don't have anything recent as they live SOOOOO far away.

He is super cute. In our house he is still known as Baby Benjamin. A name we started using when we were out East for Christmas in 2008. I know he's not a baby any more - but Hillary has a hard time connecting that he's grown up since she saw him last. If we look at baby pictures of anyone - she thinks its Benjamin. So we still call him Baby Benjamin. Sorry Benjamin - but it could be Bubba - that would be worse. I hope you have a FanTabuLus Day Ben!!

New stuff to check out

I've added a bunch of new blogs to my sidebar. You should check them out in your free time. Some are hillarious (Dear Brittany) and some are crafty (Tator Tots & Jello). Enjoy them as I do.

Go Jazz

A very generous friend offered us some Jazz tickets last week when she couldn't use them. Sadly there were only 4 but Breanna didn't want to go anyway so she spent the evening with her friend Dessa. But the rest of us loaded in the car and drove up to Sandy where we caught Trax to the Arena in SLC for the game. We had tons of fun.

Hillary loved the train ride even though it was about 40 minutes long.

Hillary started asking for a finger as soon as we walked through the door. What is so appealing about those dumb things anyway?

We weren't in the worst seats - but we weren't lower bowl.

This is in the first couple minutes of the game. After that - Hillary didn't really understand why we couldn't leave.

Reason number 1 that we couldn't leave.

Reason number 2 that we couldn't leave.

And in case you were wondering - yes it was a great game and yes they won.

200 and Hilarious

So this is so not what I had envisioned for my 200th post. I was going to do a great post and perhaps a contest/giveaway. But then I found this video on another blog I read and just had to post it here. I almost fell off my non-Hawaiian chair laughing. So watch it and enjoy it and maybe at 300 I'll give something away.

Another contest

Over at DIY Dish they are giving away two awesome sewing machines. Head over there to enter and find a fun project to do.
