Hump Day

Sooo it's Wednesday, or "Hump Day" as I call it, and this weeks is the worst. Some stomach problems arose early this morning and have left me in a muddle, not wanting to leave the house. So I didn't... and this is what I made. 

Tres Leches. Sooo good and really easy. Instead of frosting I used whipped cream, Cafe Rio style. Now on to a better day, with a clean house and a rested soul.

The TRON Printer

Lovin my new printer.

Staples is having a "fifty dollars off printers" sale... so we decided that instead of spending up to fifty bucks getting new ink cartridges that might fix our broken computer or might not, we'd just spend an extra fifty to get a fantastic printer that has cartridges already with it. Worth it? I think so.... plus its so sexy.  It lights up, takes your printing commands wireless-ly and spits them out super fast. We love you TRON.

Hot Springs and The Fighter

What a weird weekend it was... I was expecting some serious downtime to use at my leisure and instead got a jam packed crazy couple of days. But I'm over it and ready to have a productive and successful week! I can't believe we're almost in our last month of college. As excited as I am, my mind is constantly racing with all of the things coming up. So this weekend will be a lovely one, I get to go home, see my friends and family, watch conference, and get my hurrr done. Breathe out.

One good thing that happened this weekend was Baby Tuck's blessing... these cute kiddos always make me smile :)

Oh, we watched "The Fighter" this weekend. Really good. Really different. Christian Bale... there are no words to describe his performance. If you have a Clear Play you should definitely watch it. The language is a bit much.

Monday Nights

Monday nights for me usually consist of girly television, an easy meal and lots of wasted time... Tonights meal? Asparagus and Pasta Roni. I love love love asparagus and if you have not tried it, you really should! It's soo easy and tastes great. I have learned that the best way to do it is with olive oil and a bit of kosher salt. Stick it in a 400 degree oven for ten minutes. When it's done, drizzle it with a bit of Balsamic Vinegar Reduction (boil vinegar with a bit of sugar until it's thick and syrup like) and it's delish.

Lovely right? Pair it with some Natures Way Pasta Roni and it's a pretty healthy meal! Happy Monday:)

Lulu

Last night I spent some time with the Morrison family in Brigham City and it was entertaining, like it always is... My grandma celebrated her birthday recently and last night she received her all time favorite gift, a "furreal" cat named Lulu. Grandma shrieked with joy when she saw that fluffy white robot. So that kept things interesting... as did the tiny cute cousins and the crazy loud Morrison men.

If I had money...

Now presenting... Courtney's ULTIMATE graduation Wish List!! These babies are what occupy my dreams at night :)

Feel free to contribute any of the above items.. totally realistic, right?

Pinterest and Curry

Alright people of the blogging nation... I have found my new favorite thing. It's a site that lets you catalog all of your favorite online finds. Doesn't seem that cool huh? Well it is, and you'd be foolish not to try it out. Go to pinterest.com and join! It's so much easier to keep track of all my obsessions now....

Now off to Tandoori Oven with husband. Yum.

Dreaming...

Ohh another gloomy week... Yesterday was rather nice. We had jacket free weather! But I'm afraid that is gone and it looks like snowy skies ahead. I wish I was in Vegas with these kiddos and little Taytum. Wish we could go lay out by the pool.... Bask in the sun... That would be nice. Instead I'll just push through these last few weeks of college. The closer it is, the more weight I feel coming off my shoulders. Maybe its our cap and gowns that are hanging in the closet. Either way It's rather exciting :)

Hello Spring...

Oh Logan. You are so silly, surprising me with all of this snow this morning... Keep this up and I will be very VERY happy to leave you this summer.

Today I am thinking back to a time where Jake and I sat front row center at Phantom in Vegas... It was an INCREDIBLE show. The costumes... the chandelier... the voices. What a fun night!

Air Force, give me my dates!

Ladies and Gents. I'm going crazy not knowing my future. Those of you that know me know that I'm a planner. I need to know when we're moving! Seriously, Air Force I think you're great... But if you don't give me my dates soon I will resent you. And if you tell me to move the day after I graduate.... Watch out.

Anyway, I did have a fantastic weekend. I can't believe how close to April we are! Mostly because there is no sun and absolutely NO color! But I'm pushing through...

Here are some photos from our lovely Sabbath day. We went to all three hours of church! Then we had delicious pulled pork sandwiches. So easy!






Yum.

Baby Time

I loveee slow weekends. I keep thinking it's Sunday but it's not! I have a full day of napping, reading and relaxing left. Today's highlight? Time with Tucker... He's so full of personality:) I am so excited to have one of my own someday.

I mean really, could he be any cuter..?

The Beach.

I really do belong in Coronado, California... it's such a quaint little town, full of adorable shops, military discounts, and oh yeah, it's freaking warm and delicious. Here are some photos of my favorite night of Spring Break. 

Heaven.

"Mommy! Are those Polar Bears hugging?"

Wow this week has been nuts...  Here are some lovely photos from our Seaworld experience. I'm really glad we got in for cheap because it's definitely not worth the full price. Don't get me wrong, the animals are great, but they do not take care of their parks at all AND they need to have a lot more shows.

you've been hacked!

How much do I love my sister Lauren right now for staying up until 2:30 am and giving my blog a makeover??

Dang. She is so awesome.

I can't even handle it right now. 

I think I should send her some tasty goodies... and money. 

 In case you didn't already figure it out...

this is Lauren!

SURPRISE!! ...maybe?

anyway. 10 things I love about Jake and Court.

1. They laugh with me a lot... or maybe it's at me? I still can't decide.

2. They fed me lots of meals during my time in L-town... but so did Grandma. (oh hey Grams!)

3. They take awesome pictures.

 4. Jake takes my crap well...

4.5 Jake gives me crap well

5. Court knows me far better than I know myself. It is a little weird. but stellar!  and sometimes it sucks.

6.  They are creepishly perfect together.

7. Tacoooo Tuesdays!!!

8. Sometimes they let me crash in their spare room.... um, awesome!!

9. Jake's seriously awkward faces. and he makes my sister happy (I love that)

10. They're my favorite people to be with and I miss them like CRAAAZZY!

 ps. nope, not their baby. 
though i wish...
cough, cough. 

Shh.... don't tell Jake and Court I was here.  

On the road again...

Logan here we come..! I'm excited to be home again but man, I'm so not ready for all the homework waiting for me there. Oh well, just a month and a half left:)

Location:Veterans Memorial Hwy,Hurricane,United States

The end...

Spring Breaks almost over... came and went so quickly but as crazy as it sounds, I'm ready to get back to normal life. Vacations are exhausting! Lotso pictures to come..

Disneyland

I miss it already.

79 degress makes a happy Courtney

So far California has definitely done us right... Disneyland has been exhausting, but so worth it, and today is our last day! Spring Break has been the best thing. I feel like myself again, relaxing in the summer sun, childishly riding Tower of Terror, getting sunburnt.... it's rather lovely. Oh and Maddie took our graduation announcement pictures yesterday! It's comin soon folks, if you want one, leave your addy :)

more pictures to come...

Death

California... Your traffic is making this the longest day ever. Sincerely, Courtney.

Hello Sunshine.

California here we come! Here are some photos from our first day of Spring Break....

 Next stop... Vegas please.

 Taytum Heather

Our hotel room, conveniently placed in front of a wind tunnel...

How grown men entertain themselves.
