Layers of a sandwich

1. Bun ( very important )
2. Sauce ( also very important )
3. Meat ( even more important )
4. Conduments ( not as important )
5. Sauce ( also very important )
6. Bun ( very important )

I thought this was a pretty simple concept, right? So how in the world does Carls Jr. forget the BUNS!!! Alan and I don't go out to eat very often, and I know to some of you this may not even count as going out to eat. But for us it does. So alan always gets three of the cheapest spicy chicken and I always get a meal (I take it for all its worth). So the most expensive thing we get they give me lettuce as buns. What did they do? Run out of the very important part of a sandwich? lame

Happy Birthday to ME!

For my birthday we decided to go to my cousin Jana and Scott's house in Nevada. Our plans were for me to pack while alan was at work and he would get home around 5 and we would get the heck out of dodge! oh but no alan got stuck at work and didn't get home until flippin 11:00! So mason was already asleep and he had been crying all day I'm assuming from being sick the last few days so I didn't get much packing done at all. Needless to say we didn't get the heck out of dodge until about 1 in the am... Just so you know its a 5 hour drive. So not only was I driving and every one was sleeping it started snowing, hard. For most of the time I was driving I couldn't see 5 ft ahead of me. After I had been driving for 2.5 hours I pulled over to have alan drive. We looked at the GPS and it said we still had 5 more hours! How does that work you ask? It means I drove 2 hours and got NO WHERE! I was going 30 most of the way because it was snowing so hard and the roads were white. We got there at 6 am on my birthday and slept for a few hours before getting up for the day.
Alan was amazing, he did so great for my gifts. All through out the day he would hand me a gift wrapped up in my favorite blanket. They all had to do with hobbies of mine. I got a scrap booking book of 601 pages of ideas, beginners crochet book, the last 2 Fablehaven books, I know this may sound odd but I loved it, a cigaret lighter for my car to replace the one that was taken.
My cousin Jana and I painted each others toes. She does such an awesome job! She always does all the girls toes when she comes out to visit. Hers are the ones with the black flowers and mine are the pink. And of course baby M wanted to model his as well.


The next day we went and saw Bounty Hunter and went out to eat at a pizza place. It was the first movie baby M has been too. For the most part he wasn't bad. He sat in his car seat and stared at the big screen sitting in his own chair. The pizza was super yummy. We laughed almost the whole time; it was either some one had something on their nose, pointy ears, or looked like a elf. Even the waitress decided to join in on the poking fun. To end the night we watched Avatar. LOVE IT !!! It was alan's first time seeing it. I can't wait to see it in blue ray!
Sunday was great and relaxing. In church Jana taught the RS lesson and did an amazing job. It was the best lesson I have had in a long time. We had amazing grilled hamburgers and got to chat the day away. And of course I got a quick motorcycle ride in thanks to scott! He knows what makes me have a permagrin.
What a great trip!! Thanks Scott and Jana for letting us stay there and get away for a mini vacation. Love you!

You want a good laugh?

How I came across this lovely invention..... I was looking at what a crochet needle looked like for some patterns that I just bought. And here she was. BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!! Sorry but if I saw this out in public I would not be able to contain myself! I'm already in tears thinking to myself...... Good thing your face is hidden. It is 1:03 in the morning so of course I will pretty much laugh at anything but I think no matter what this is funny! BA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA

The time has come!

Alan and I got married almost 3 years ago. And alan has been going to work and school full time and will take on a second job on top of that plus building websites. So needless to say he has kept himself pretty busy with work and school and its been hard for him to spend good quality time with the family. And this Friday he is finally graduating from BYU!!!! I can't wait to be able to spend more time with him and do some traveling and camping! We need a family vacation. I'm so proud of how hard he has worked in providing for our little family. Love you babe!

And thank you Kathy for helping me figure out how to put it up :)

Following daddy's keystrokes!

While mom is away, Mason is helping daddy work! I work a lot so when I'm home I like to have Mason sit with me. Well he always goes for the keyboard so I just gave up and let him play. Well he loves my laptop as you can tell. I hope he keeps his interest in computers when he gets older!

Monday's Allergy Test

I don't know about you but I always get super stuffed when I go lay down on anything, especially on the side I'm laying on. The doc referred me to an allergist here in Provo and I had an appointment to go get my allergy test done. After I figured out what they do to you I was NOT at all thrilled to go. They told me a "few" needles in my back to do the testing. But come to fine out when I got there it was a whole other story, they wouldn't tell me how many they were doing just "a lot" is all they would say. I was totally freaked In fact on Sunday night I dreamed that I purposely missed the apt and had some one call in for me. But I went and 54 shots in the back and 1 and half hours later I found out I'm allergic to........ NOTHING! not a single freaking thing! I just have what everyone has but more pronounced. So there is nothing I can do about it and I will always be stuffed. I was hoping I could get this taken care of for my next pregnancy because it was so hard for me to breathe especially with a gigantic belly (Mason never dropped). So after all the scare, shots, and sleepless nights it was a waste. ha ha I'm so negative some times :P

Skills

I just want to shout out to all my friends that happen to have skills to sew. You are so blessed! I see all of these great things that you lovely ladies are putting together and making and everything turns out beautiful. Mostly it is for little girly things for their daughters...bows, dresses, flowers, blankets... I'm just amazed at all of the many great things you all can do. I love seeing the new idea's you have and I love to see the turn out of what ever it is you make. I do have a sewing machine but no idea how to even thread the thing. Its sits on my floor starring at me wanting to get used by my unskillful hands (and foot) to make some thing from a awesome piece of fabric to a hideous masterpiece. I don't know a single term or what you can do other than a straight stitch. So a square is about as creative as I can get, if I don't go over the edge. So again I'm very proud to see it is possible, how? I have no idea. But it can be done! :)
So if any of you out there can help my simple mind of sewing techniques I would love to TRY and make some thing from a piece of fabric. any thing simple to start and if there are any terms I need to know, that would be greatly appreciated!!!
