We're all adults here now...

Happy 18th Birthday Twiners!!

... What do you blog about when your not a mom...

You tell stories using pics from your cell phone you randomly were looking at one day... :D

Lilly likes to sleep under the bed sometimes.... Not sure why... Maybe she's hiding...

I wake up and this is what I see... Yes. Lilly sleeps like a human... She also can't wake up. I have to shake her to get her up sometimes.

Sleeping again, I know... HA! With Howard. Her Friend.

Big enough. Maybe she's compensating for being so small.

We like popcorn.

Lilly ate a bee, got stung, and her cheek swelled up... She really is smart.


ATTACK OF THE LILLY MUNCH!!!

Doing what Lilly does best... SLEEP!

CHEESE!! It's picture time!*


Oh hello!!

Ok, so she fell asleep on our bed (she sleeps A LOT) and we tried to see how much we could put on her before she would wake up... HA!

One of her many sleeping positions... It's like shes dead. You can pick her up, move her and nothing. When she's out... She's out!

Franklin/Rosie.... We're not sure if it's a boy or girl so it has two names. :D

The Jazz game was on, so she took a break from sleeping...

Trying to make my face look bigger so the sunglasses didn't look so GINORMOUS on me.

*This pic was taken a long time ago... my hair doesn't look like that any more. It looks like the above pic. :D

...Quick Update...

Ok so I'm WAY behind... it happens! Sorry!

Quick recap:

• Went to Wicked back in May... AMAZING!! ( Made me totally rethink my career path ) Yeah I wish I could be that good. Got in trouble after I took this picture...

• Went to Minneapolis, Minnesota! Loved every minute of it. Shopped. Read. Hot Tubbed. Relaxed. Ate (a lot!!). Spent time with Mom and Sista. Miss it now. Too bad we can't go on more vacations like that.

• Memorial Day. Another relaxing weekend... except for the odd tan lines I got from sitting in the back yard with the dog and the family. Rough.

• Hung out our Hamocks! We love them! One for me. One for my love. Yes!

• New Hair. After a full head of foils (70 to be exact)... I'm blond :D Almost. More blond than I've ever been. Threw the last one it cuz it's so cute!

Belly Pics :D

HA!!!! GOTCHA!!!

But for real people, everyone's having a baby nowadays. It's crazy! I tell people I'm married and have been for almost 3 years, I get the "Oh, how many kids do you have?? " {Eye's flutter, waiting for a good response like 2-3 kids} . When I say "None, for now of course, but someday!" they get this shocked face like "Oh!". Oh well, I'm fine being the undeclared aunt and friend/babysitter. It's almost like being a really young grandma. No real obligations, but I get to enjoy the benefits.

Congrats to Angie, Mishayla, Joni, Katie, and all you new moms! I love your little ones and can't wait for them to say Aunt Beki! You know they will! :)

*More to come... lots to update!

What to do, what to do

What do you do when you've spent a whole week... literally, a whole week, planning a work party for your company's 8th anniversary party, and at the last minute (day before at 4 p.m.) your boss calls you into his office and says he's canceling the whole thing? He has his reasons, and they're valid ones at that, but seriously... a week.

What did I do? I spent the next hour calling and canceling all my hard work, then blogging about it. Lame.

It's a Fridge-Nation!!

Hey Guys.... Who wants a fridge!!! (ME ME ME ME) Ok, so we have a mini-fridge, still in the box, not being used, not ever used that we want to sell. We tried to find a place for it in our house but we already have one in our "theater" room and really don't need another one. (Why we bought two is a completely different (long) story.)

Specs:
White: This one is black. This is mine (not for sale) just wanted to show what it looks like.

HOLDS: A Crap load of drinks! We've fit a case of water and 2 12-packs of pop in here. There's also a small freezer in the right corner.

ACTUAL: Real box. Real white fridge in the box. FOR SALE. Price tag still on the box.

So, for $70 bucks this can be yours!! Just leave me a comment, if you want it, with your info and we'll get the party rollin'!

...New beginnings...

During the whole packing and getting ready for the Nicaragua trip (2 days before he left to be precise), Patrick received a life changing phone call. He was asked to audition for a job opening at the Landis Lifestyle Salon in Sugarhouse. I know what your thinking... "audition". Usually people have to interview and maybe submit a portfolio, but no... not at Landis. You have to audition which consists of 2 tasks: (1) The first is to do a one-length bob cut on a women (which I guess is one of the hardest cuts you can do because if it's not perfect you can seriously tell) and (2) do a creative and dynamic color of your choice on a model. You have to bring in your own people and product to do these tasks and you have 2 hours to complete them. You'll be judged on timeliness, creativeness, and how well you can do the bob. Let me just tell you that the task should have been just trying to find the models... If everyone show's up, you get the job. (Yeah!! I wish!!) His audition was Monday March 23rd. (I know I know. I'm behind.) As of the night before, the model getting the color was a for sure thing, but the model for the cut was totally up in the air. We had like 5 girls say they would and one after another drop out. (It's ok, we totally understood and Patrick didn't want to cut anyone's hair that didn't want to.) Finally, one of the girls who said they couldn't a couple days before, came through.


Well, we're assuming that everything went great because he got the job!! Patrick said everything went perfect! The color rocked and the cut was beautiful. The girl loved it and her mom, who was there with her, was so impressed she offered to pay him for it, even though she knew it was going to be a free cut because of the audition. I'm sure he just got another future client out of her! :D Word went around the salon how well Patrick did, that the people he knew there texted him later and told him they loved it!

SO today was his first day and he was totally excited this morning when he left. I'll let you know how it goes later!

If you want to visit him, or need anything done, check him out here at LANDIS LIFESTYLE SALON or at 1300 South 900 East, Salt Lake City, UT 84105
