One year down...

Happy Birthday Micah!

Today we celebrated the birthday of my favorite one year old.

He is smily, he is cuddly (when he's not squirmy) and has the cutest cheeks in the whole world.

I just love this little buddy to pieces.

Movie of the Year

Saw this...

and LOVED it.

It is by far the best movie I have seen this year.

It might possibly have moved its way into my top 5.

I loved every minutes of it.

I do not hook up

Last thursday night I joined this lovely bunch of ladies...

to listen to the musical awesomeness of Miss Kelly Clarkson.
And I must say I loved every minute of it.

There is something about angry
(passionate might be a better word)
music that I just love.

Alanis=yes please!
Dashboard=Can't get enough.
Kelly Clarkson=LOVE her

But seriously... I don't think she gets enough credit. Not only is she a fun pop-star artist with a lot of angst and man hating vibe but the girl can sing! She did a couple of cover songs that blew me out of the water. I want to be her when I grow up.

Dear Jillian

I know you were under a lot of pressure but you made the wrong choice. For future reference, always ALWAYS choose the boy wearing the chucks.

(and its probably not a good idea to choose the boy wearing shorts shorter than yours, pink shirts, and crosses his legs)

The one with the 12 pack abs probably would've been a good choice too.

Love, April

This weekend

I get to pinch the cheeks of these

two monsters...

And I can't wait.

Being an aunt is bliss.

Sitting in the tree...

On screen kisses,

either they have it...

or they don't.

Kiptyn and Jillian=Don't.

When they don't have it, its just kind of awkward for everyone watching. But every once in a while they get it just right and its awesome.

here are a few that

(in my humble opinion)

got it spot on.

***Disclaimer***

I know that youtube videos are annoying on blogs. I just thought it was fun.

View them or don't.

Side note: Ross and Rachel= so many great kisses. They could possibly the best on-screen kissers of all time. There were a few scenes that I could choose from but this was my all time favorite.

This kiss is not that great. In fact its pretty awkward BUT I love this scene with all my heart. I love this movie mainly because I love this scene.

Double or Nothing.

Lake Powell

Before this summer I had only been there 1 time. This summer I went two weekends in a row and this past weekend I was going through withdrawals.

I have been on a lot of fun vacations in my life but Lake Powell Trip #2 is WAY up there on my list. It was everything that I love to do.

#1. Road trip with a car full of

interesting

and fun people.

#2 Boat rides

with some of my

besties

the music blasting, laughing, and dancing.

#3. Playing in the water...

whether it was cliff jumping, wake-boarding, wake-surfing, or just lounging around in the water.

#4. Hanging out on the boat with

good food,

fun games,

and of course dancing.

#5. Doing all this with possibly the best group of girls that I know.

#6. Feeling like I left a vacation with

27

new

Best Friends.
