Just a few things I am going to pick up on my way home from work today...

Well...at least a girl can dream, right?


Yes, I would like to curl up in this chair with a pretty pillow, a cozy throw, and a good gossip magazine.

Preferably this pretty pillow and this cozy throw...


And who doesn't need these cute little spice jars?

I know I definitely do!


I believe this table belongs next to my cute new chair that my good gossip magazine will rest on...

along with this adorable book...

I really can't resist this book full of photographs of two pups named Luna and Lola.
I think I will name my next puppy Luna.
How cute is that?


Yellow makes me happy. Therefore, these towels make me happy.
And who doesn't want something that makes them happy?


And for these old fashioned alphabet blocks...
well...
these will be for the munchkin that I will eventually have and love.

A day for Dre...

This is my cute nephew Andre. He was blessed this passed Sunday on 10.10.10.
What a lucky little chunk monster!


This is Dre's family. My brother Dave with his wife Brandy and their two kiddos Matthew a.k.a Tub Tubs and Andre a.k.a Chub Chubs. Obviously, Tub Tubs was much too into his Nintendo DS to smile for the camera(first photo). When I told him to set it down for the photo or I would beat him up(kidding), this was the look he gave me(second photo). He is kind of a punk, but I love his little(well, it is actually huge) attitude.


Matthew loves his Uncle Josh. I am guessing it is because Josh still acts and plays like a 3-year-old.
That is why I love him, I guess?!


And now on to the evening festivities...
It was my beautiful mother, Carole's birthday on the 8th.
She really is beautiful...don't ya think?


We celebrated with a Cakes de Fleur cake. They are seriously delicious, and they also sell their delectable delights at The Store, which is where I bought this mini cake creation.

Of course Grandma let Matthew blow out the candles (err, I mean candle) on her cake, she gives him whatever his little heart desires...and he knows it!

Tub Tubs giving Chub Chubs a big hug. How sweet is this brotherly love? I love these boys.

Did I tell you Matthew loves his Uncle Josh? Well, he does, and this is why.
Like I said, Josh loves doing things that 3-year-olds love to do.

And just one more example of why Matthew loves Uncle Josh...

What geeks!

...notice Bailey on the ground next to Matthew. She is so bored with video games.
I am sure she is daydreaming about fishing and swimming in the river instead.

Adorable Little Get-ups...

Now if only I had a little munchkin to dress up everyday...

...I found all of these cute items here...

Delightful Evening for Two...

Josh and I headed to Log Haven up Millcreek Canyon to celebrate our 5th anniversary. It is fitting, considering this is the location that our wedding party took place, and we seem to celebrate just about every special occasion there. Millcreek Canyon is gorgeous during the fall.

As I took pictures of our food, Josh was squirming with embarrassment. I find a great satisfaction in embarrassing Josh on a frequent basis.

The view outside the window of beautiful fall trees was awesome.

For some reason, beyond my comprehension, Josh insists on making silly faces in every picture. It drives me absolutely batty! I do think the picture on the right is pretty cute though, and it is probably the best picture taken of him in a very long time.

As we drove into the driveway after dinner, we found this cute pup awaiting our arrival. Yes, the back gate was open so she moseyed up front and just hung out on the front porch looking pretty all evening. Bailey is such a good pup and looks adorable perched between the pumpkins.

Umm...

I think I need these boots...

Just sayin'...

...I found these must have boots here...

I think I'm in LOVE...

With this kitchen, that is...

...kitchen...

Yep, it is everything I had in mind for my kind of kitchen. Did I mention I love this kitchen?

...Celebrating 5...

We have been up to quite a lot in the past 6 months. Josh and I are happy and full of life and celebrating our 5 year anniversary today. Well, we will actually be celebrating this weekend, considering Josh has a nasty bug that has kept him in bed all day.

We spent our summer doing many fun things, but the top of our list was our holiday enjoying Australia and New Zealand.

This picture was taken during a sunset on Haast Beach on the south island of New Zealand. One word to sum up our entire trip...

...BEAUTIFUL...

A Special Day for an OLD MAN...

Happy 30 Years Joshy!!!

Josh is officially 30-years-old today! It is quite crazy considering he still has the heart of, well, a 5-year-old. This picture is him to a tee. He loves all of his nieces and nephews and gets excited to play arcade games with them. I love that he still is able to act like a child, even if he is ancient! Ha! Happy Birthday dear Joshy Poo!

Be My Valentine*

Many say Valentine's Day is a dopey holiday made solely to sell stuff. Well, I say, humbug to them all!

I love, well, LOVE!

And to celebrate said LOVE, Josh and I are headed to Vegas for the weekend.

I mean, what better place says romance like Vegas?

Really?

Especially since we will be staying at Hooters. Yes, we are very classy peeps, and that is just how we roll.

I just want to say I have a lot of love for all of you and am sending that love your way!

Will You Be My Valentine?

With LOVE, Kath

Like Mother Like Son...

Bailey is on the left, Tuggy on the right.

These two are constantly side by side. Well, Tug mainly follows Bailey around EVERYWHERE!

They are so cute.

They are definitely two peas in a pod.

Look at their big grins, which in turn, gives me a huge grin.

What would I do without these canine characters?

And...Can anything get much cuter than this?

Tuggy is giving his mama a little kiss.
That is just PRECIOUS!!!
