Just a tidbit!

I've started reading my comments faithfully now! Sorry I got so behind everyone!

Obsession...


For those of you who don't know my obsession with these wallets! I own it in burgandy, black, and teal! Hehe...my guilty pleasure.

Darn!


My Dad just got 2 brand new Seadoo's and I'm not going to Lake Powell! Everyone knows my Daddy loves yellow, but the red and gray ones may have been easier to clean! Anyway, they can get up to 70 miles per hour, we only got to 55 (always a next time)!

Someday!


I love the bridge connecting the patio with the breakfast nook!

So much fun!


I know, I know...I'm not a boy. How could I resist a book that covers everything from Shakespeare to Invisible ink? Want to make the coolest paper airplanes, treehouses, galore? Than you need this book.

One of the best reads!


I love the New Yorker! If you're bored at work, they have endless articles and stories to browse.

New Music.




I just bought the new Rooney and Spoon albums, both are delightful!

Wish list!




I really want these earrings and ring from Nordstrom.

Oh how I want these! At $200 a pop, it's not likely. I may use my favorite piece of plastic!

Gold!


I just got these bangles from Nordstrom, I love them.

Yummy!!!


So good...Mango is my favorite, but peach is pretty great. I know you can get it at Day's Market in Provo. I'm not sure where else.

So I'm a little OCD...


Does anybody else clean obsessivly? I had a bad night and couldn't sleep so I cleaned out entire kitchen, cuboards and everything! Dust must be destroyed.

Love of My Life!


Sweet Jared! What a Stud...

My wish list!


This is the racquet I asked for for Christmas, I know a ways a way. It's the racquet Roddick uses though!

Movie!


I watched this last night with David! It's his favorite movie, I'd give it a seven...

Roddick loses to Gasquet!


Andy Roddick lost in the Quarterfinal of Wimbledon today! I won't lie, I'm basically devastated. To add insult to injury, he lost to a Frenchman! Gasquet broke Roddick's streak of 18 tiebreakers won!

Happy Independence Day!!!


I was really, really proud of my cookies!

I love these decorations! They look like little pieces of shiny paper, but are edible and so cute!


This was when they were all done and decorated!

My 4th of July Cookies!


The First Stages...

I made this cake for a friend, I didn't love the ending colors, but it turned out pretty well!

This is the beginning stages of my cake making! I've recently discovered that I like to bake!
