30 years of amazing

Sometimes people turn 30.

When that happens, you decorate the house, and eat sushi.

You also make that person wear a silly hat,

 
and take pictures of yourself making weird faces with your friends.

 
You also play games, and trade books, and laugh at your sillyness, and be all around awesome nerds.

Did you know that I married the greatest guy? Well, I did. Thanks for being born, coach. I love you so.

And a big thanks to Laura, Brittni, Joe, Amanda, Zach, and Katie for making Blair's birthday so very wonderful.

Meet the newest member of our little reading society:

(Incidentally, her blog is delightful. I read with pleasure.)

So, how is everyone doing on their summer reading lists? I expect updates you know, printed updates with full color charts, a detailed analysis on each book, multimedia presentations... you know that sort of thing.

right.

but I really would love to hear how everyone is doing

I'm totally killing my list. I'm like 15 books ahead of schedule. Ok, not really. I for the life of me cannot finish The Mysterious Benedict Society. Yes I realize that it's a book for 5th graders, but let's remember that most 5th graders to not have jobs, spouse and kids, and a kick-ass Zumba class to teach every week. (please come to my Zumba class?) As always you can track my progress (and Blair's as well) here. I'm also thinking that I need to be a bit more diligent about posting reviews of these books on my goodreads page.

Also, Happy Falker Satherhood to my dearest Blair, and my fantzastic Dad. I would estimate that a good 63% of my awesomeness can be attributed to these two fellows. I love you guys.


One last thing. Go see Toy Story 3.

Hot AND Smart

Look at this guy


This guy just graduated

He looks a little dazed if you ask me.


I am so so so proud of my hottie-cakes. Besides he was wearing his robe with Chucks. Very Harry Potterish, and also very hot.

Whoopeeeee!!!!

If you like mushiness, by all means read on

Most of you know that I'm married to a super hot guy. If you are an 8th grader at Parowan, you are probably crushing hardcore on this very same super hot guy (don't think I don't know you girls... ). Yesterday as my little family went about our typical Sunday-ness, I had a series of epiphanies. For some reason I was more than usually aware of how much I really really like Blair.

He likes his french toast with peanut butter and maple syrup (so now our girls do as well). Personally I think it's gross, i'm more of a powdered sugar and butter fan, but I still thinks it's cute. I am glad beyond measure that I did not marry a carbon copy of myself.

He cooks. This alone is reason for a gold star, but beyond that, he is a creative cook. Yesterday he decided that we should have a Chilean food day. He made an amazing Cozuela de pollo (it's like a chicken soup with a bazillion things thrown in) and some dulce de leche cookies (I can't spell the actual Chilean name for them so i'm not even going to try). It was pretty stellar.

He is funny in his sleep. Last night I woke up to a stuffy-nosed little one who was in need of some snuggling. Blair proceeded to inform me that there was a new kid at Region, and he needed a school bus. Yeah. Me neither. Someday i'll tell you the story of the sandwich, don't let me forget.

He is pretty optimistic when it comes to impossible situations. He is planning a vacation for us this April involving Disneyland. Me and Blair at Disneyland with a 3-year old, 2-year old, and a 5-month old baby. Right... we'll see how that works out :) I'm thinking there will need to be a vacation just to recover from this vacation. Just kidding. I can't wait.

In summation: Blair is my favorite thing.
