I'm just gonna say it...

I LOVE US! Breck had the brilliant idea of a girls trip reunion in Park City filled with snowboarding, sledding, crafting, dancing and laughing, needless to say it was amazing! We literally stayed in "the penthouse" located at the resort it self, chatting it up until 4 am was a nightly occurrence and a few of us may have peed our pants just a little from laughing so hard...you know who you are : ) We were only missing two of "US", Jill (who just gave birth) and Cherisse : ( Oh how we missed you both! You girls will forever be my friends, I will never find friendships so unique filled with love & laughter, free of girl drama and caddyness. I truly had the best high school experience thanks to all of you, FRIENDS 4EVR

We made a pact...don't let me down!! Can't wait for "GIrls Showdown 2014"

Seriously it's almost December?!

We enjoyed a nice weekend with the whole famdamily! T'was very special to say the least : ) Some of my favorites included...

Hiking Camelback

Breakfast with almost all my girls!

visiting my fave HS seminary teacher who now teaches my cute niece! Seriously, I am forever thankful for him!

Andy's face lit up like Christmas morning when he visited G-ma's bathroom & insisted we get a pic of him "stepping into a time machine"!

A Tale of Two Jacks

After the Angel's loss last Sunday, seven tests in four days, and his 27th old man birthday approaching, Andy deserved a lumber jack kind of retreat...so that's what we did! Santa Barbara has to be one of the most beautiful places to go camping (or shopping)!

Meet Lumber Jack & Lumber Jill, or Jen whatever

Lumber Jack studied ortho

while Lumber Jen read love stories

While enjoying the view, a terrible storm rolled in and sucked Lumber Jen right into the ocean.

Luckily, Lumber Jack was a certified life guard and came to Jen's rescue

Even luckier, Lumber Jen used her mad crab walking skills she learned in 1st grade PE to keep herself safe until Lumber Jack spotted her.

Lumber Jack & Jen shared a sweet embrace and then celebrated their reunion with an intense game of FROLF, on an 18 hole course stashed secretly away in the middle of camping paradise

After an intense and sweaty game of FROLF, Lumber Jen asked Lumber Jack if she looked beautiful and he proudly exclaimed, "Yes, in your own beautiful greasy way". That was when she knew he truly loved her despite her odor. To show Lumber Jack just how much she loved him, she broke her rule of no showering and not changing her socks & transformed from this....

to this...

Lumber Jack was mezmorized by her enchanting smell, drug out his axe and built her a ferocious fire.

Lumber Jack & Lumber Jen lived happily ever after roasting weenies, growing old together and painting pictures in the sand

WOW, we really need to have a kid so it can take more pictures of us together! : )

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY! THANKS FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO TRULY HAVE FUN & ENJOY LIFE!

Love always,

your #1 Lumber Jen

bring out the monkeys

If this doesn't answer your question, then I don't know what does...

YES WE ARE WEIRDOS : ) Our rally monkeys are out!! BRING ON THE YANKS! Oh & yes I am not a wife who pretends to watch "the game", I whole heartedly love it & encourage it, so essentially I created this monster!

I've finally determined why Andy's favorite month is October... because #1 baseball playoffs, #2 any items he wants to purchase he tricks me & says they can be for his birthday #3 this little decoration...he thinks it's fun to change the sign from In to Out whenever I leave the house! Oh well, if I'm the witch then that makes him my flying monkey!

p.s. please let there be a game #7 and I will be a very happy witch : )

What's your perfect date?

The other day I was asked for some "womanly advice" from a man who wanted some good date ideas for a very special lady he was trying to impress. For the average person I think I would have been able to give some good ideas but you see this man is a very high roller so I was stumped. I laughed when he asked me for some ideas and said, "I'm not your typical girl, my kind of date includes a steak and a baseball game". Yeah, that was definately not what he was looking for to impress his girl : )

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE DATE INCLUDE?

Today our date started like this.....

And ended like this....

Yup, this is my perfect date... biking Big Bear, pizza & baseball too bad Angel's lost : (

ReAdY tO sHrEd...

Even though shredding in SoCal means fake snow and way too many idiots sitting in the middle of the run (kinda reminds me of driving on the freeway)....

its like a frigid 80 degrees outside & I'm stoked for the season, so I figured I might as well try on my kit! : )

And yes, I will be leaving on the tags cuz I'm gangsta like that. It's just how we roll!

Cross Country Snowboarding

Winter is quickly approaching, enjoy this video.
