happy.27.baby

Happy 27 baby! No better way to celebrate than a weekend away in vegas! We had the best time, the temps were high and the company was the best!

We ate dinner at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant {in the Paris, naturally} for Wayne's birthday and it was amazing! The views were amazing and the food is nothing less than exquisite.

Dinner at Sushi Samba {in the Palazzo Hotel} was great - unique rolls and a fabulous atmosphere. One of our rolls even had gold on it! {we definitely paid for that gold} We saw "Jersey Boys" - Frank Valli, The Four Seasons - I loved.loved.loved it!

Food was obviously a priority for our vacation - so we threw caution to the wind and ate everywhere we wanted. The Wynn buffet was awesome and the hotel is truly a work of art... down to every little detail. I'm still drooling... GORGEOUS.

Tera is getting married in less than { 3 days } and we all couldn't be happier for her!

I love my DAD! I have always been a daddy's girl, cuddling up with him while sharing his popcorn, always eating off his plate, talking sports {especially soccer} and the unconditional love he shows me... NO MATTER WHAT.

... J....
we love your sense of humor and addicting smile
we love your warm cozy hugs that can change anyone’s day

until we are with you again… you will be missed

strawberry roll

What do you do when Wayne’s roommate {for 5 days of the month} and his good friend from Portland are in town? We go to the best sushi downtown. I’m loving that strawberry roll… DANG.

gettin' crafty??

This past weekend I was inspired to create all these projects that have been stewing in my head... however, I realized that I maybe have an inaccurate view on how easy a project is going to be. I swear I see something in the store, I decide I want something similar, THINK "I can make that, better and for cheaper". {no dani, not really true}

things on my mind...

crazy birthday trip to vegas for my baby ::: getting rid of the ponytail do and getting a new fresh look ::: out with the old and with the new { I can't wait to sell mine} ::: my obession with gladiator sandals, I know they aren't for everyone ::: lots of summer bbq'ing, the first was a success - maybe next time we can invite some more ladies ::: quick boating trips to flaming gorge with awesome friends ::: a romantic hot air balloon ride ::: the highly anticipated purchase of my new iMac { it makes me smile, just thinking of the beauty }
