Mahana you ugly!

It's late. I just shut my computer off 5 minutes ago after blog surfing and as I was about to wash my face I had a thought, that in the morning when I'm sane, I'll probably regret writing because it sounds so dumb. But right now, I want to say it. So I will.

On my surf, there was one underlying issue in every blog pretty much, and because I have yet to mention this specific issue, this is the way I will bring it up, to be like everyone else.

I'd like to start with a thought:

I like big butts... and I can not lie........ Big butts and I can't deny...... and to be honest, that's about all of that song I know. But it is repeating itself in my head over and over. And I'm picturing saying it will real intensity. Can you feel it?

Why was Mahana called ugly? If you don't know what I'm talking about, where were you when this flick was SO hot around the world? The underlying difference between her and the 7 cow wives was this. She was skinny. I say, let's boycott the skinny people again! Let's bring back the PHAT!

Seriously though, it's sad the pressure everyone is feeling!! Especially myself! I use to always think, "If only my zits would go away, then I would be perfect and happy." They went away, then it was, "If only I could do my hair, then I'd be happy." ... well, the hair thing never really came to pass, but I got over it. Now its, "If only I could fit in all my old "skinny" clothes, then life would be perfect and I would be the best mom and wife and neighbor and my daily stresses would seize to exist because HEY! I'm lookin like the stars!!!" And their all doing peachy-- right?

So, to all of my beautiful ladies who may be reading this. Let's have the goal to be healthy, not skinny. Don't be so hard on yourselves! I only know of one truly ugly person, and that is Mahana. :) Love ya all. Beauty comes in all shapes and sizes.

Randomness, Love it.

Lydia has to do any and everything Ben is doing, especially when we are paying attention to him. We are trying to keep Ben on his stomach as much as possible because I kid you not, the slug does not roll, wiggle, ANYTHING! Should I be concerned? He is finally rotating. His middle stays in the same spot, but he can rotate to face the other way... if that makes sense. What it comes down to is clearly he is taking after his mother. So, Ben and I are on a diet and workout plan. First goal, don't sit on our butt all day. :) I'll let you know how it goes.

Left- nerdy Ben. Right- cool Ben.
Back- hot Daddy.

Seriously kids? Don't mess with this kid. He is mean! Truth be told, he's as sensitive as they come. My brother keeps calling him.... what's the caterpillars name on Bugs Life? I must admit... he is kind of like him. So cute.

My sweet boyfriend has done it again!!!! He calls this the Abominable Snowman. He made actually cream puffs, but chocolate pudding inside and out, coated the puffs with melted white chocolate, and put M&M's on for the nose and eyes, with graham crackers for arms. And let me tell you! I have never tasted a better cream puff in my life. I didn't eat this man... because I didn't want him to become my Abdominable Snowfat, but I had my share of puffs with pudding. Hey! That's kind of a cool name. Anyway, thanks so much Honey. You know the way to my heart is my taste buds. :) You make me so happy, and you are the best dad too. Love ya!

Cousin Time!

Ben, Cadence, Savanah, Lydia, Alexa

These kids are so cute! Of course, mine is the one in her PJ's after the long wedding day. Like mother like daughter I guess. I'm queen of comfort. Probably too much. Oh well.

Cousin time is the best time. We can't wait until the rest of the family moves BACK TO SALT LAKE!!!! Was that hint subtle enough?...

Dallin and Becca are Married!!

So, Jon's youngest brother got married on the 2nd! Yeah! And he is the last of the 5! And, his wedding was also the only one that had every brother there. How lucky is that? We love Becca and are excited to have her in the fam! Here's just a few cute pictures of setting up. :)I suggested making Ben the center pieces for the luncheon, after all.... he would remind the new couple of the whole multiply and replenish the earth thing.... right?

Do these look fuzzy? I hope it's just my eye's... actually, I don't. Ha. Anyway, here is the STUD- and his little brother. Okay okay, on this day, Dallin was the Stud man, but Jon was a near second. (Sara! I know you are reading this and getting mad, don't be mad! )

Us at the Temple, freezing our butts off, literally. :) Luckily, I had my slug to keep me warm.

How stinking cute is this!!! Lydia always wants to be with her dad. They are way tight. Right here, they are waiting for more fishing wire to hang some things in the gym for the luncheon. In the picture bellow, Lydia looks SO OLD! I'm not ready!!!

My sweet Angels!
