A Little More Spoiling

So a couple weeks ago I get a text from Paul while I'm in Colorado that says "happy birthday to me, I just went to the gun show".
Yeah, that's never a good sign.
He got himself a gun. Oh but not just one, he came home with two. Lovely.
He's been watching those "bunker" and "self defense the world is ending" shows. So he's convinced that he needs a huge shot gun under the bed and a hand gun under his pillow. I haven't managed to let it get that far yet. Thank goodness. But he does keep them close by. And until we have kids, I guess I'll let it slide for now.
I've never shot a gun in my life. Not even a bb gun. So he has been begging me since we started dating to go shooting with him. I've managed to get out of that for five years, but I lost that battle the other day. So he drug me out of the house- ok it wasn't that bad. I told him I would LOVE to go. So we got the pups and headed out to the west desert.

He said I didn't do too bad for my first time. And other than the shells going down my shirt and burning, it was actually pretty fun!





Yeah, he was quite spoiled this year. And he loved every minute of it!

Birthday Bash

So I decided I wanted to throw Paul a surprise party this year for his birthday. If any of you also know my husband, you know how hard this task is.. Literally impossible. I decided to try anyway. Thinking of Every Little Detail of how to keep it from him. Guess what, I DID IT! And I did it well :)

Now, I love all things party. And of course pinterest. Put those two together and, well you know. So I chose a color scheme and off I went.

I made homemade cafe rio pork salads. Um, yum! And I had one happy boy!






I wanted to try doing a fondant cake, so I came up with a little design and went for it. Don't judge, it was my first time.







The party was a success and he was pretty excited! Just right.


So for his actual birthday I booked a room at the Zermatt Resort up in Midway. I had found a groupon type deal so I decided to upgrade to a suite. Great decision p.s.






The room looked out over the valley. Gorgeous! And she was quite a beut!






Two tv's, a fireplace, and one of these..






I was pleased! Oh and I think the hubs enjoyed it too ;)

We woke up to in room breakfast service while we watched conference. Lovely. And can someone please come up with the recipe for these French toast strips???






Literally, this was heaven on earth. Tasted like candy. Seriously folks.

Anyway, I had fun pampering him all week and I think he enjoyed it too. Love that man!

And then there were four

I still remember the day we brought Paisley home for the first time.. I can only imagine a glimpse of what it's like bringing a baby home. But that day was special. Watching her adapt and seeing her personality grow. There's just a soft place for that day in my heart. And of course every day after that. She's a special one!
Which is why we decided to give her a brother..

Meet, Maddix!



He's a cute little bugger!!



When we first brought him home, Paisley didn't know what to do with him. "what is this" "do I play with it" ? But she soon warmed right up and they became pals!


Maddix can't sleep without touching her






Best Friends


Our family feels so much bigger now all of a sudden! And he's a lot of work only being 8 weeks, but we wouldn't change a thing! Love my life!

Here's to..

Let me just explain myself.. I Never drop my phone, or lose it, and i rarely forget it. But for some reason, whenever i am with Paul, i somehow manage to do ALL these things. So of course he thinks I'm some space cadet that doesn't know or care how to take good care of my things. I tell him every time that it's because I'm so distracted by him and his attractiveness and can't help but focus on anything else but him.  He rolls his eyes. But there really is no other explanation than this. It's the only time it happens.

Now let me explain Paul.. He. LOVES. Apple. Enough said? I'm not kidding. Obsessed. He has to have EVERY newest, latest, and greatest product that comes out. 

So of all the phones I've ever had, i officially got my first crack in the screen. (taking note, this is the first damage, at all, that i've ever had to any phone i've ever owned.. i'm just that good ok.)
I didn't know what to think.
With the words, "Oh Crap" probably running through my head about a hundred times, I was mostly terrified that Paul was going to kill me. Because, how on earth could i possibly treat an Apple product so..? How could this be? This is a disgrace. Our name should be banned from everything. We will be disowned. Shame.

How did he react might you ask?

Well yes, he was quite concerned that i could let something like that happen to an Apple product..
But then he got that smirk. The one that i know all too well. And the famous words came out. "Well, we'll just have to get the knew one when it comes out." How did i not see this coming? Duh, I knew it was. Could i have made it any more convenient for him? Ha, nope! Just that i gave him one more excuse to get ANOTHER newest, latest, and greatest Apple product to fill our home. Just what we need.
Lovely.

The phone actually works great still. No effects from it. But, i somehow just don't think that will be enough.
So I guess, here's to the Iphone5..
