bored :: stressed :: need a laugh

my current mood...

bored - waiting for ryan to call me so we can have a supper date and i can enjoy some spiced chicken enchiladas at carlos

stressed - wishing things would go my way just once in my life....ugh


need a laugh - just came across a couple pictures i took last summer of lumberjack ryan telling me he would win a corn eating contest 'hands down'

the post that keeps posting...

so as we all know, the outcome of the Superbowl didn't go our way...but that didn't mean we couldn't still have fun. we watched the game at our friend Daniels place with a bunch of our other besties....

Superbowl is a big day for us because way back in the day (2004) our first date was a Superbowl party at 'non other than' our friend Daniels house! then 4 years later i was proposed to on Superbowl Sunday AND the theme of my bridal luncheon was Superbowl. I'm guessing you get the point...I hate football? Nope! I love it!!





our spread consisted of tacos, cookies, brownies, buffalo chicken dip, pickles wrapped in cream cheese and beef, smokies, and veggies. i brought the healthy buffalo chicken dip and the wrapped pickles....which by the way needs a better name than stating how I made them and every ingredient....someone at the party mentioned they are called snake meat (or that could have been the screwdrivers talking?...doesn't really sound like the title of a recipe card I would get from my grandma)


Daniels was the perfect place to spend a snowy day...he lives in the country and has one of those barns filled with lots and lots of toys....aka...snowmobile & four wheeler!

i was so happy my mexican friends could join us

we all thought Bridgestone had the best commercials, hands down.

while I was in Pontiac I got to see eilzabeth play volleyball

so glad grace focused on the lady in the pink instead of her family...

the MANY faces of william

i'm sure i'll be getting a big THANK YOU text for posting those...

ryan had school and work on V-day, so we celebrated Sunday with a little Taco Bell To Go, while driving to Clinton to find each other gifts at the Antique Mall... i know, i know how romantic

i went home with some jewelry and a 1973 edition of Boggle, while ryan's treasures included a book about Adlai Stevenson and a batman belt buckle (not pictured)

that night my parents, siblings, grandma, aunt, and ryan & i went out for a V-day supper celebration. Rhys had to work, so that made our restaurant decision easy...off to Joe's we went! i didn't bring my camera, but i'll give you a little play by play of our night...

- we took 30 minutes to decide what to order, when it should have only taken 5 minutes because we always get a cheese and a pepperoni pizza...not sure why that night would have been different

- a couple fights broke out

- a pop was spilled

- rhys flashed us with his apron....twice

BUT something that I wasn't expecting was the Valentines Day gift from my dad. he passed out cards to mom, elizabeth, grace and i, and we were told to open them at the same time....

SUGARLAND tickets!!!

snow day

this snow is giving me the perfect opportunity to sit on my couch and blog away...

OK...I guess I lied, I'm just getting back to this post and since the snow day I've gone to work 3 times...hmm must have gotten side tracked with my on demand Hawaii Five-O marathon, give me a break. It's hard to blog frequently when I don't have a cute little kid to talk about and I'm a horrible cook (so no receipes coming your way). However I can blog about this little cutie..

I can also share some pictures from Christmas...

Oh hey, there's a cute little kid I can blog about :) Ryan kept telling Reagan he loved his new Toy Story bookbag, but was corrected everytime that it's a 'suitcase on his back'.

So we moved the ping pong table for more room and look how creative the boys got...each has a paddle and they had to keep the ball from hitting the floor (evan, michael, rhys, william & dad)


Merry Christmas!
-Love the Four-Eyes

Alright gonna have to cut this post short again, have to go pick up Ryan from work. Check out my photography blog, just posted some new pics of my brother in law Tyler and his friend Jay playing at Main St. Grille!
