orlando, florida

my sweet brother just received his mission call...

he will be teaching the gospel in the spanish language

in sunny orlando
{one of the happiest places on earth}

more pics to come of the exciting night!

spock

i saw this movie last weekend...
though i totally dug captain kirk
spock is definitely my vulcan of choice...

don't worry, ryne knows it's simply a celeb crush.

my mother

i read shelly's cute post to her mom..

it was inspiration to do one of my own

having a mother as your boss as well as your best friend rocks.

hope i still have a job after posting these pictures...

ikea

we love ikea...

but not as much as their fab $1 ice cream cone...

this picture is so not flattering...

take me out to the ballgame

this past week i threw a shower for some good friends
{walker & hailey will have the cutest baby ever...hands down}

my favorite part was the cotton candy

they were eaten before i could snap a shot...

thanks to all who helped...i'm sure i'm not fun to be around while stressed
{this includes drew, brie, michelle, and my sweet hub}

oh and of course to mom who so ironically bought herself a cotton candy machine...
i knew it would come in handy someday!

hamburger cupcakes

for my mom's ward activity, we put together these cupcakes...

she baked & cut while i assembled

sure didn't taste like burgers!

dad's ridin' the saddle...

unfortunately, we have a family that sets each other up for embarrassment

this is how the texas roadhouse celebrates birthdays...

too bad dad's is in march
{good one jord}
