Getting in the Mood

These festive cupcakes were on my doorstep tonight. What a perfect way to get in the mood for the adventure that lies ahead. Thanks, Kristy! You made my night.

Aren't they adorable? Delicious, too.

Sweet Retirement!

So I have officially been retired for a week, and boy can I say it's been great! I've already been to Bear Lake and Tucson (pictures coming soon). If only I could keep this lifestyle up!

I wish I could say I miss working, but then I'd probably grow a Pinnochio nose, and I quite like my nose the way it is (minus the fact my nostrils are different shapes, but what's a girl to do?)...so I'll just post a few pictures of the office and my co-workers.

But one thing I miss the most at work are the toilets...yes...the toilets. Who doesn't love the foot flusher?!

Guess What?

Jealous

Mom gets to spend a whole week starting today with this little angel and piece of heaven. I miss him TONS. and TONS.

My Buddy and Me!

Kellie and I took Tanner to the zoo a couple weeks ago for a spontaneous day of fun. Though Tanner is only 2, he can already name most animals and make their "sounds"- which makes it really fun. There's nothing better than spending a day with your sis and favorite nephew. Here are a few pics from our trip:

They got their shades and they're "ready to roll!" Tanner kept shouting that as we were pulling out.

With the giraffes. T's favorite.

K and T by the Elephants


After seeing the animals, T wanted to play in the zoo park. He loved the slide!...

...and the alligator...

...and the egg...

...and he even convinced me to get in it...

{a word of caution: the egg is easier to get in to than out of!}

Best Day Ever.

A Beautiful Sight!

Isn't it wonderful?! It's where I'll be living, yes, LIVING, in 2 months!
