Mr. A to Z

What a surprise!!!! Oh, I was SO in HEAVEN!!! Josh being the sweet husband he is said one night after he got home from school... "I've got something planned for us this weekend... a surprise for you, so don't make any plans!"...... OK! So, if you know me... I don't settle well with surprises! I mean I love them and all!... I just usually can't wait! My anxiety gets the best of me! LOL! So guess what I did???!!! Kept guessing until Josh got so sick of me that he simply gave in! I mean, I went through everything!... from a new T.V. to USC football tickets. Well, I was kinda close. But! this was by far better than any of those! Yep!!... Concert tickets to see "hottie pants" Jason Mraz! Backstage passes would've been nice too.. ha, ha! :) But I definitely was thrilled for this event! Oh, we had a blast! Mr. Mraz is not only very talented, but hilarious and entertaining! Our date night was filled with singing at the top of our lungs and getting our "bootie shake" on! :) Thanks babe!! :) :) :)

Disney Adventure!.....

Oh!... an adventure this was! LOL!... I've never been so wiped out after a whole day at Disneyland! I literally needed a full day just to recover! Hey!... I'll just blame it on Britt :) and my stupidity in wearing pants on a HOT day!!! :) :) We had a fabulous time as usual with our fave friends and the lil ones! It was Chris and Krista's (as well as their 2 kids) first time at the Land of a Million Dreams. So, that was exciting to see how their experience turned out. Brandon and Jenika have a whole different story!!!! So, so sorry guys! We loved sharing the day with you though!
We ended up running into many of the other students and their families as well as friends from our ward. It was "supposed" to be a slow day on Labor Day, but turned out to be very busy! Yeah... it was a "fighting through the crowds" day! Hey we still look forward to going again with our friends! And! Really!... you can never have a bad day at Disneyland! Well... you tell me Jenika???! Can't wait till next time!!!!! :)

~Malibu Babe~

We decided... well, I should say Josh decided to be spontaneous! Yep!... without scheduling or planning anything, we packed some lunch our flip-flops, Oh!... and extra diet coke! Yes, that would be my Love making sure I'm taken care of! LOL! :) Then we just got in the car and drove!
I absolutely Luh-ove doing that!!!! I'm always on the go and love to be spontaneous and experience new lil adventures! So, yeah!... Josh gave in and just went for it! :)
So, Cali. has enormous fields/orchards for farming! I wanted so badly to get out and take some photos in the orchards, but Josh wouldn't let me in fear that I would get arrested for my craziness! :)
Anyhoo, so we ended up driving through Santa Barbara then back out to the PCH, where we ended our journey at the fabulous Malibu Beach. WoW!!!! It is just breathtaking to see such beauty as the ocean with a beautiful sunset slowly sinking.
Nothing better than a surprised day filled with fun, adventure and beauty!

Miss-se-sip-eh....

Wow! Mississippi consists of many new experiences for me, such as; Crazy-beautiful sunsets! More "fixin's" than you can imagine!!! UUUgly lil critters that just give me the heebee-geebee's and make the hair on my arms stick straight up! Yummy Puppy Love! More dirt at the bottom of the tub than you could ever imagine!... that would be from lil "Buddy" playing out in the hot, sticky sand! :) I've never heard a chorus of frogs croaking at night too!!.... simply amazing!!! Antique stores beyond belief! Aawww, I was in heaven!!! :) And of course the "goose chasing" which happened quite often! There's something entertaining and yet beautiful to watch the kids chase the geese. Maybe it's because you know they WON'T catch em! Oh!... and you wish you could run miles without being winded again! LOL! Ok, but I just love watching the birds scurry off into the lake or take flight in a gathered flock.
But really!... most importantly is to be with the ones that I LOVE so so much! I just love being an auntie! :) I always take advantage of any time given to get away and see my little nieces and nephews!... They have a way of bringing meaning and purpose to life! I always cherish the one on one time with my sisters too!!! That sisterly bond is unbreakable!!!! Thank you Shawn and Layner for the visit!!! I MISS YOU!!!!!!!

Ryder.... One Cool Doode

I can't help it!... I'm a proud Aunt! :) :) So, since I am miles away from the ones I Love so much... all I can do is brag just a lil about them! :) OK! My lil nephew Ryder (Kevin & Angela Lewis') boy is the most handsome lil man I have ever seen in my life! Oh! I just want to eat him up!!! And! Really!!!... it just pulls at my heart strings to be so far away! I want so much to just love on him!... to play trucks, baseball or even tinker bugs with him! Because I am so far away and can't see him... Well, wait!... you and I still can!!! Check out Heather Ward Photography (it is on my list of fam/friends). Yes! He is the HoTT lil Blonde guy on the page! She does an astounding job!!! So that is my rant of the day! I Miss You guys! Give him lots of kisses from aunt "Natty"!!! :)
