katie friend took me out to dinner!

my day in a nutshell. may 20.

today i went to primary with my madre.
and then i ate her snacks...
and she growled at me.


birthday ice cream cake!
thank you momma!


princess4 and hubs got me a pretty amazing gift...


some of us were watching for the eclipse...
some of us weren't...


those of us who were watching only saw this:


my favorite flower.
we played a quick game of duck-duck-goose with tjab
and then returned inside for some hilarious mom-drawings.


when i got back to my apartment, some nice
young men helped me carry up my millions of bags.
i think i'm officially the crazy old lady.

my day in a nutshell. may 19.

the day started with a family birthday breakfast.


then the madre and i got to spend the whole day together:
errands.
shopping.
hair cut.
nails.

we spent the evening chatting with debbie!
what an uplifting evening!

then we played a few rounds of banagrams
 before we called it a night.

my day in a nutshell. may 18.


 it's my birthday!

tjab roasting [burning] a marshmallow.

my day in a nutshell. may 17.

one of the perks of my job.
sweet old men complementing my shoes.
(their color specifically)


i didn't have time for lunch,
so... skittles!


then came my classy dinner.


shanti came over for serious board game night.

fortunes came first.
then came life.

acquire!

i can't tell you how happy this made me!

my day in a nutshell. may 14.

after work, katie and i went on a run.
wait, let me rephrase...
katie went on a jog and i went on a walk.

after that we decided to go to the hot tub.
um... unfortunately...
the hot was closed!
so there we were, taking the garbage out
and getting the mail in our swimsuits.
(like all super heros)


i hope you all have a super hero moment soon!

my day in a nutshell. may 13.

my day in a nutshell. may 12.

after some making myself sleep in,
some hilarious infomercials,
frosted flakes,
princess4 & her hubs MIA
mother's day planning,
we went to the pool
for some long awaited sunbathing!
oh hello again dear sun!
thanks for the minor sunburn!

since we were in st. g,
i got to meet up with A for some twin time at judd's!
our unplanned, twin like reaction to...
ice cream!
see? twins!
forgive the fuzzy pic.
this is what happens when you ask
someone to take a picture for you
and they stand on a chair to take it...
i wanted princess3 to quickly see some shakespeare books
at an antique store...
which means we spent 45 min. there:

playing...
yes, that is a sea creature taking over my ear.
looking at old photographs, tea cups, books,
cups, jewelry and getting long answers to
our questions.

and being scared.
pin cushion or voodoo doll?
on our drive back to good ol' utah co.
we made a "quick" stop in hurricane to find a t-shirt.
after 5 stores & no luck, we left.
but we did get to see this 
famous hurricane landmark!
inappropriately named.
we filled up the rest of the drive with
the mile-marker game
&
waving at strangers.
9 people waved back.
[actually only 8... we gave ourselves 2 points for the semi-driver]
shameful.
that night, angela & i had plans
which involved swimming.
after several awkward moments,
that didn't happen.
we decided to see "the avengers" instead...
in our swimsuits...
which allowed us to eat more.
& we took advantage of that...
