My awesome (yes it was sarcastic) St Patty's Day cake.

Stella enjoying the nice weather in the backyard. She's getting so gray!

I didn't mean for this to look like I cut them in half but it does ...

The Nichols and the Newmans came and watched conference at our house for the Saturday 12:00 session and the kids had play time. I smell a romance blooming ...

New wall color... New couch

New rug, thanks to Palatka believe it or not!


Me and Dave went antiquing in Thomasville with my parents last weekend... next time Dave's staying at home ...what a buzz kill. He didn't like ANYTHING I picked out!
...So there Cally ... i really did do it ... I marathon blogged... IN YOUR FACE!
And as for the rest of you... I like ellipses... that's something you'll need to accept on this blog. I don't believe that the simple, common period translates into the appropriate dramatic pause that I employ when speaking ... so ... ellipses. E lip Seas... I love you guys!

Marathon Blogging Continues ...

2. "Business" Trip to Miami.

David asked me if I would travel down to Miami with him for work, stay in a very expensive hotel for free, hang out with him all day, and pay half of the food bill for four days... Heck yes please! David's office needed someone to drive a bunch of classified documents to Miami ... wait around for a couple of days ... and drive them back. Getting paid for a vacation? We were on it like white on rice ... so to speak. Now ... one million pictures ... I LOVE the zoo if you weren't aware...

The view from our hotel room.

The best food in Mee-ah-mee. Where? Yambo's. What? Carne Asada. It was so good. And it was like $5. But it is a good thing I had a couple of translators with me!

This is one of David's companions from "the mish". He's the one that took us to the Amazing Yambo's

Danger anyone? Do you really think that those girls are gonna stop that CHEETAH? It's a CHEETAH! They told us to be very still while she was out there, for our safety, and some crazy parents were letting their toddler run around the edge of the stage! Idiots!

How cute is that? Oh look... My feet...




He was a very nice crocodile...gator ...thing... whatever I wasn't looking at his snout.

And ... half of our trip was this ....

Marathon Blogging Finally Begins!

1. Trip to Orlando with the Nichols ...

David and I went on a weekend trip to Orlando with Cally, Scott and Logan Nichols last ... um ... back in ... uh ... earlier this year some time, check the Nichols' blog to see when (if you were to care). We had a great time with them! We stayed at a nice hotel thanks to Cally's and my excellent planning. We ate good food and relaxed, it was really fun. On Saturday we met up with David's family at the Temple for the annual Herrington/Tilton trip which was wonderful as always,but we missed Dag and Sherry and everyone else who missed it this year. And we babysat little Logan while his parents did a session. We had a family lunch after that and then headed back home. That's about it ... but I WOULD like to add, that Cally definitely "accidentally" squirted me with breast milk at breakfast... yes, it was out of a bottle ... but still! HAHA! We stopped in Gainesville to visit Jake, Starleigh, Jane and Sawyer. We love those guys so much!

Logan was such a great traveller! I was anticipating aural pain ... but nada!

All the kids



I LOVE this video! Jane's adorableness is there for all to see. If you don't quite understand it, She's singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" with mom Starleigh, but she stops to inform mom that it's not Little ... but LILLEL! BWAHAHA! I love it! Sorry it's so dark, I don't control the sun...
