The "snack table" and some decorations. Do you have ANY idea what it's like trying to throw a baby boy shower WITHOUT USING BLUE? It's awesome, that's what it is! We had a soup bar and buttery rolls and punch bowl of yummy sherbet drink. And plenty o'snackage. Obviously.
The plates. Cute, right?
The cupcakes. When they were all finished, all I could see were Monsters Inc creatures. Not so much the plan.
Kira
I put Dell in charge, ok she put herself in charge, of taking pictures with my camera. I have to say I was sorely disappointed....just sayin.
Talisia's momma. See where she gets it from? This lady had us crackin up the whole night with her comments. And I know she was TOTALLY on to me about the soup. Damn her. (she also sent me 1,986 pictures to go through from the shower. So 99% of the pics on here are hers. Thanks Momma Tyson! And shame on you Dell)
Celia and her daughter with Talisia
Nudes. Sorry Nuria, but I just can't call you anything else...
Kira and Christy
Tara and Tori making their entrance
Me kissing little Becks. Much better picture than the one taken before where I was eating the baby. It's what I do.
Kelly, totally unaware that this picture was happening. hehe
Emily and T. Emily is classy. She wears peacoats and stripes.
Kir, Emily, and Haley
Look at that face!
And then we took a group picture that could rival any sibling Christmas morning staircase picture out there.
This was Dell by the end of the night. Laughing so hard at Susan, that she "nearly" peed. Posted by Annie Harper at 5:53 PM 13 comments Links to this post
Me.
Ha. No, but seriously, I was born then.
September 16th y'all. Mark it in your calendars....
Ok. I know your SO OVER my silly face pictures. And if I was cool, I'd be all "me too! who does those anymore?!" But guys, I am not cool. I'm Mayor of Nerdville and Gov'ner of Uh Oh, Your A Nerd. (Hi, watch Harry Potter nearly every night, remember??? Point proven) And plus, it was MY birthday, so you have to suffer through whatever I want you to....so yeah.
We even went to Pirate Island in Provo. NO, I will not shut up. You shut up. We really went there! My dad took us all there for mine and Kevin's birthdays. His is tomorrow - a post on him later - be excited. Anyways, I actually requested this place. And Kevin was all - why couldn't I have married someone normal? And I was all babe, normal is nowhere in your future - get used to it.
It was an hour and a half wait. Seriously. So we got bored and to entertain the kids we started making crazy face pictures (always a hit). Then it just rolled over and I made everyone who was there waiting (minus Heather & Dan & Co. - they were smart and went and ran errands) make crazy face pictures with me. And they couldn't even complain! Birthday privileges....
Here is the aftermath.....apparently you should never leave me bored with a camera.
Me and the sis, Ivy.
Since Heather wasn't there, I included this random, sorta silly face pic of her. I wouldn't want her to feel left out now would I?
I know she isn't doing a silly face, but she is just so cute....
Me and the Gramps. He's 82 years people. He even competes in the senior Olympics. He's a runner. And a stunner. AND he entered a sculpture he did back in college into the state fair this year and won first place! Love this man.
We don't take our silly faces lightly, Steve and I.
As is demonstrated here.... (could we look ANY uglier???)
And here....
The Granny. Is she not the DANG CUTEST THING???
I'm scared of MYSELF in this picture.
Shelene, me, and the Daddy-O.
My other brother Austin

Isn't she a sassy pants? I had to put a reg. picture of her in here just so you could see her cute self.
Well, there you have it. My birthday - one ugly face at a time. I'm sorry, but this was the best I could muster!! Forgive me! Blogging and I are not friends right now.
And I'm starting to see I only have about 3 faces. I need to mix things up in the future, no? You're hoping your future doesn't include my crazy face pics aren't you? Well, ok, that's fair. But I can't promise anything....

Believe it. Embrace it. LOVE it. Make out with it even.
Cuz I don't care what you say, girlfriend is HILARIOUS. Her whole family is. I know because I watch THIS show.
Now.
I know it's a good possibility some (all) of you just threw up in your mouths a little. Maybe even had a little dry heave action? But I'm telling you, this show will change your mind (life). I have tried to convince many, but people really hate her don't they? I mean, HATE her. I even tried to get my sister in law Beth to watch it, and she was all, uh - new thanks. Tori = vomit. And you know, I was there once too. But you guys - you just gotta get to KNOW her, you know, like I do.

She even does bagel boobs, and I don't care who you are, that's good TV.
My friends Talisia and Kelly even love it. And if the GRAND POOBA loves it, well then.....there you have it. Talisia and I have decided that if she were an animal, it would be a cow. Not Kelly, but Tori. You know how everyone looks like an animal? Tell me she isn't a COW?
Are we right, or are we right???
SIDE NOTE: I once told someone they looked like a bear. And it was a girl. And it didn't go over well. Word to the wise - keep animal look alike comments to yourself.
Just look at this cute family. Seriously, rent the first season and push through the short haired pigtails. If you can get over the pigtails (and you can) you will love it. Dean is hilarious. And they are the cutest dang parents ever. She has such a sweet little paranoid heart, she cries at everything, and he does movies like Santa Baby 2. You CANNOT go wrong. She also has 2 books (thumbs up), a baby clothing line (eh), and a jewelry line (which actually ROCKS). (I like parentheses)

Yep. It's happening. I'm officially CHOPPING my hair off.
No. Don't argue with me. What's done is done peeps. Because THIS here picture, might as well be me. And I think we can all agree....
...that it is NEVER okay to have your hair double as a blanket. It's pretty much illegal.
Unless of course you're Nicole Richie, then you might actually need a 24/7 blanket. I'm only KIDDING. You know she doesn't look like that any more....shame on you. I actually quite like me some Miss Richie. In truth, I may or may not have a hair crush on her.
Seriously, her hair is my boyfriend. (not to be confused with my other boyfriend, Walmart. But only the one on 114th South. I don't get around or anything)

Or this? Er, wait. No. I'd be straight up HID. 
And she may be one of the very few who could still look GORGEOUS and feminine with no hair. Rude. Posted by Annie Harper at 11:51 AM 13 comments Links to this post
So we went to Californ-I-A last week. It seriously rocked my pants off. It was EXACTLY what we needed. A whole week of nothing but doing whatever we wanted, and as little or as much of it as we pleased...Typically every year we go to Newport and stay at a beach house, but this year we got crazy adventurous and went a few miles south to Oceanside.
Would you just LOOK at those faces? No seriously, look. I wanna maul them
Ivy just a swimmin away. You have to spend just 5 minutes with this girl to really appreciate her. She is somethin else, people. LOVE her :)
Dad and Ethan shwimmin.
Kevin and Ivy. Seriously, I'm so excited to one day have kids with this dude. I mean really.
Ivy and I. Now enjoy our silly faces. Oh you know, cuz they're fun.
We also went to Sea World - which I love. Dolphins make me want to cry - in a good way. Yep.
Petting the sting rays. You can actually feed them, but I was all, uh, I only feed things that dont suck your hand off in the process. Kind of a rule of mine.
So I fed HIM instead. And those A hole seagulls took half my lot. Who do they think they are anyway?
So how gnarly is this picture! Isn't that just FREAKY? Sharks....geh. They scare the S outta me, but I can't NOT look.
