Ten Years...

3,650 days ago today, I headed to the Blue Boutique with my friend Steve and got my tongue pierced. I've had it in for the good part of the past 10 years, only removing it for the occasional surgery and dentist visit. Wow. I can't believe it myself!

Happy Anniversary little bar bell!

Brylee Watch 4/22...

So it's been a while and I know that you've had a hankerin' for a Bubba Update.

She's getting even more cute by the day. Yes, it's possible! I'm actually behind, so I've included a bonus shot from last week for the enjoyment of the masses. (That'd be you Sarah!) Maybe I should consider renaming this the Brylee Blog. Anyway we enjoyed playing on Grandma's feather bed, talking on the phone, sweeping the floor and walking up & down... and up & down... and up & down the stairs.

I love my lil' niece, if you couldn't tell!

Bonus Photo!

Happy Earth Day...

So I've got a new favorite show. An addiction really. I am in love with the Discovery Channel series Planet Earth. Watch it and be amazed and grateful for all that Mother Earth has to offer us. I know I am!

Famous Marley...

QUILTING IN THE SKIES
"DELTA AIR LINES EMPLOYEES donated more than 1,200 handmade quilts to Primary Children's Medical Center during a ceremony Tuesday at EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City. The quilts were presented to Sharon Goodrich, director of annual and corporate giving at Primary. Delta gives quilts to children whose illness or injuries require extended hospital stays. Airline employees began the quilting project seven years ago, when flight attendants converted their lounge at Salt Lake City International Airport to make the quilts between flights. Above, 3-year-old Marley Peterson runs across some of the hundreds of quilts."

Happy Birthday Emily!...

Happy Happy Birthday to my sister-from-another-mister! Love to love to love ya Emily!

(I trust you like this picture much better, I know I do!)

This Must Be The Place...

In the name of fry sauce, mini-vans and weak mixed drinks at the bar... I'm sooo excited! Guess who's leaving their swanky Las Vegas digs and moving to Salt Lake City?! That's right Sam, Emily and Tarrah. (And it didn't even take hell freezing over either!)

Whoo hooo!

Happy Birthday Brit, Chelsea & Ellie!...

Time for a birthday round-up! Happy Happy Birthday Brittanie (4/6), Chelsea (4/7) and Ellie (4/10). Also a birthday shout out to my cousins, Hillary (3/27, belated... I know!) and Kyle (4/6). Phew!

Thank you...

...Thank You. Thank You. Who ever you are.

What a perfect surprise on the perfect day. There are no accidents and I really appreciate it.

Happy Birthday Sarah!...

Enjoy your big day my fellow blog-loving cousin! xoxo-

2007 (so far) In Review... MOVIE EDITION

At the beginning of the year I vowed to watch more movies in 2007. Well with the assistance of the handy Red Box just down the street, mission accomplished! So let's re-cap the movies that I've seen over the past three months and hand out a few awards while we're at it. First award: Most Animated DVDs watched by Casey in three month's time. Hey, I'm a good babysitter. What can I say? The kids love me! Almost as much as I love the movies!

Best Picture All Around PAN'S LABYRINTH

The only film I saw in a theater, which as a Sunday matinee, I had the whole place to myself!

Best (New) Eye Candy DANIEL CRAIG in CASINO ROYAL

Literally & figuratively... check out those baby blues!

Favorite Feel Good Movie STRANGER THAN FICTION

Cutest Flick for The Chicks and The Gays THE HOLIDAY

Better Magic Movie THE PRESTIGE

Most Popular MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL in SHERRYBABY, STRANGER THAN FICTION & MONSTER HOUSE

3-Out-of-5 Ain't Bad LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE, BABEL, &THE DEPARTED
Rented Babel and The Departed the Friday before the Academy Awards. And while I first saw Little Miss Sunshine in 2006, I've watched it enough times (over-and-over) on DVD that it qualifies to be mentioned here. Still waiting for The Queen and Letters from Iwo Jima so that I will have seen all of this year's Best Picture nominees.
