Isn't it great. . . .

when you are feeling tired from staying up with a teething baby. And you feel absolutely miserable, and the only thing that will keep your eyes open during a long shift is a cup of coffee. So you head in and order with the best smile you can manage. And suddenly, the guy behind the counter says "You always look so happy and beautiful when you come i here. Could I take you to dinner tonight?" Man I'm awesome! That's a pick me up! The picture isn't that great but apparently I was workin it.

New blog info

So I found out that Richard reads my blog. That's cute! LOL But he pointed out last night that the about me section really wasn't about me anymore. So It's changed. Much more accurate now. Happy Friday everyone!

Is it hot in here?

Richard and I had a sweet and sexy Valentines Day! We both got all dressed up for the occasion. Richard is wearing Tommy Hilfiger that he found for a smokin good price at NPS. I wore hot little black dress and golden shoes.

Richard planned the night. We watched a movie called Charlie Bartlett. I recommend it. It's pretty cute and hits the emotions a little bit. Then we were off to dinner!

He made reservations at Skybar. It's this gorgeous restaurant on the top of the redlion hotel downtown. We sat in the North east corner and looked over the downtown skyline after dark. There was piano playing right next to us all night playing famous love songs. I ordered the lobster pasta which was good but nothing to rave about. However, Richard ordered the lamb and it was the best thing I've ever tasted! It melted in your mouth! For dessert we had a chocolate soufle. I was impresse with the whole night. Especially how we looked!

The friday morning infomercial!

So ladies and gents, I have a question for you. Has your Step mom ever given you a garlic press that you love dearly but when it came time to wash the fabulous invention you were stumped? Well not any more! I give you the gaaaaaaaalic be gone!(Shoot a picture of a toothbrush) With this handy dandy invention you can get your garlic press to SPARKLE even without the luxury of a dish washing apparatus! (That was for you christy!)

In other news. . . . I discovered yesterday that I have a possible future in the food critic industry. (Don't be jealous mom) I had a coke, same as everyday, but this coke was special. It tasted like a load of brown sugar! When I told our family Coke aficionado (Better known as grandmamom) she rushed right over, traded me cokes, and ran to her lab. After messing with her Benson burners and schematics she reported that my coke had 1/100 th of a drop too much syrup.(Fractions could be slightly off.) Apparently I have very sensitive tastes!

And now for the best news of all! I heard on the radio last night, much to my excitement, that MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice are coming in concert TOGETHER! Grab your hammer pants people! It's time to throw it down old school!

No my resolution wasn't to blog more! LOL

Howdy there amigo's! I've been pretty busy lately but took a littl etime out to update all of you!

The kids are doing fantastic! Finally they are both done having snotty noses and ugly coughs. Caydance has been crazy about music lately. She learned how to sing "3 little monkeys jumping on the bed." She also picks up on lyrics from songs on the radio and just sings the same line over and over. The other day she was trying to explain to grandma that she liked a song that Todd(our friend) sings and got a little irritated that grandma wasn't understanding her.

Athena is rolling over really well on her own. She's working on teething right now so she's fussier than ever in her life. She's also chunking up pretty quick and getting the mysterious giant head syndrome her sister had.

Work is going well. I just switched to days which makes me happier than I can express in writing. I also started 8 hours days but that never really happens. Now that christmas is over busy days are few and far betweeen. My very very awescome supervisor that arranged my shift for me recommended an employee counseling program. So I scheduled an appointment for next week. I figure if it's free why not?

Things with Richard are going well. I'm happy and having fun. He keeps me smiling.

I guess that's all for now. Everyone have a happy Wednesday!

Go Kayleigh! It's your birthday!

LOL Ok well I haven't gone to sleep yet so it still kinda counts as my birthday! I've had alot of excitement going on. I think my 23rd has been my greatest birthday so far!!

I started Friday night by passing my training class in the nick of time! Richard and I, and 2 other couples, spent the saturday and part of Sunday in Park City. We stayed at the Marriott Mountainside and I highly recommend it.(Assuming you are debt free and have saved the $380 per night in your nifty cash envelope!) This place was AMAZING! There were 5 hot tubs steaming in the cold winter air. We rocked some Kareoke. The boys went snowboarding while the girl hit the outlets. And at the end of the night we sleptin candlelit bedrooms with the most comfy hotel mattress known to man!

Today I got phone calls and texts from the bunches of people who love me and I love them back. Dad and Christy took me out to lunch. Everyone was super sweet!Thanks a bunch!

Oh and I almost forgot! Grandma B made my favorite roast for dinner on Sunday. What a sweetie! And on thursday Richard brought me a big bouquet of "Just for being amazing" flowers . Did I hear a unanimous "AWWWWWWW"? LOL Have a happy week everyone.

Emotional Spectrum

It was a pretty crazy day around these parts yesterday. I'll start with the happy happy news. My little teensy tiny bundle of smiles had her first bite of cereal! Yay!! Of course she spit it all out about fifty times while I scooped it back in, but I insist thats a natural tongue movement and not disgust.

On the sad side of the spectrum, the world lost a great great man. Uncle Freddie, brad's great uncle on his moms side, passed away. Not too many of my people got the chance to meet him. Ill tell you a few of the many wonderful things about him.
He greeted every woman he knew with a kiss on both cheeks.
He never let the moment slip by to tell you how beautiful or handsom you looked.
He knew every Tony award winner since the beginning of time!
He sang show tunes at random moments and made happy birthday sound like a masterpiece.
He had the funniest jokes and they were just a little dirtier than you would expect.

In his day Uncle Freddie was quite the star.If you want to get a small glimpse of his shining spirit(and I recommend you do) you can see him in the movie "The RM." He plays the crazy grandpa who wants to serve everyone half cooked hamburgers.LOL.

I loved Uncle Freddie and am so honored I got the chance to know him. I want to end on a happy note. So when Caydance was upset because she couldnt visit Uncle Freddie in Heaven, we explained to her that hes happy up there and with the people he loves. Caydanc will now tell you "Uncle Freddie lives in Heaven with Jesus and his Mommy but we cant sleepover."
