This picture makes me happy in so many ways

It represents so many of my favorite things: Disney, My MacBook Pro, Ice Cream, and Coffee! This makes me smile. That is all :)

LUSH Bath Melt Haul

I can't wait to use all these melts and review them for you all :)

Lush Soap Haul: Part 2

EVEN MORE ORGANIC GOODNESS! :):):)

Lush Soap Haul: Part 1

Thought I would share my products with you guys! Lush is a company that I have recently just fell in love with. I love their products, and what their company stands for. They are all handmade, 100% vegetarian, organic products, that aren't animal tested. Just for the record, I know that this stuff is kind of frivolous, and I understand that organic soaps and bubble bars aren't a necessity. However I am not one of those girls who gets her weekly mani/pedi and massages and facials, so after a long crazy day at work to be able to come home and pamper myself from the comfort of my own bathroom really makes me happy and it is one of the simple things in life I really enjoy.

Starting Over, Yet Again

So I thought I would knock the dust off the Ole' Blog and write a post. It's weird I go through phases where I am really into my blog and then I will neglect it for months. My poor little blog is going to need therapy with the way that I am treating it. Since my last post, Seth and I have moved, both started new jobs and we now have a new member of the Phelps family....Mack (the bulldog) :) Other than that we are just our same old selves. So hopefully it wont be 6 months before I decide to write again, but you just never know. ha

So glad I missed this

Heidi Montage Pratt whatever her name is performed during the Miss Universe Pageant. I can only imagine what a tremendous train wreck this was. It it was anything as lame as her Playboy Pictorial then god help us. And is it me or does that outfit look oddly familiar. Hmm I don't know.

RIP DJ AM

Sad day. :(

I have been saying this prayer ALOT lately

Tad and Stacy Phelps

I just want to say how happy I am for my lil brother and his beautiful bride!! They had an amazing beach wedding July 18th in Sea Grove, FL. The whole family was there and it was just a perfect day. The amazing Julia Holman was there working her magic behind the camera. Here is a sneek peak of what is to come.

D.C. and Me

I have had alot going on lately. Alot of work, and a lil bit of traveling. July was a busy month for the Phelps Kids. The whirl wind month started with a trip to D.C. to visit my long time friend Juleah. Besides getting locked on the Metro, it was a very fun trip. Juleah took us on a tour and showed us all the things you must see if you go to our Nations Capital. The Washington Monument, The White House, The Capital Building, and Lincoln Memorial. Alot of walking to say the least. Here are some photos from our trip.

Chris Brown "Moon Walks" his way back on the radar

Last night the Hubs, myself and our boy Brian went to the America's Most Wanted Concert at the Virginia Beach Ampitheater. To say the least it was amazing. Soulja Boy, Jeezy, and Lil Wayne killed it. Then a guest appearance by our local boy Chris Brown made the crowd go crazy. Chris did a MJ tribute by Moon Walking across the stage to Billie Jean, and I caught the whole thing with my camera.
NewLilWayne.com featured my video on their website. Check it out...

Petie is Best in B.C.

We already knew Petie was Super Cute, but it's always good to make it official with a Trophy and a Nice Big Plaque. He Took home "Cutest Dog" and "Best in Show" at the 2009 Catfish Festival Dog Show. We are so proud of him!!!

Death By Biscuit (Almost)

So to give you a lil background of the situation, my husband is in school right now because he is switching jobs in the navy. He usually has to get up around 4:30 or 5:30 am depending on the day. Some mornings they have to P.T so they are running anywhere from 3 to 7 miles as soon as they get there. Needless to say my hubs isn't particularly a morning person. He gets up, gets dressed, and heads out the door in a zombie like manner. He is usually in school until like 5:00 or 6:00 pm. So that is like 12 hours a day that he is putting in.

Being the caring wife that I am :) I noticed that Hubs wasn't eating ANYTHING before he left in the mornings. I am a HUGE Advocate for breakfast. It is the most important meal of the day and gets your whole body ready to seize the day. So I went to the grocery and found some good quick breakfast options for Seth. Things that don't require any prep time or even that much brain power to fix, because as mentioned above Seth is in zombie mode. One of which was these little mini Microwavable Sausage Biscuits. 35 seconds in the microwave and ta-da...Breakfast.

Everything was going smoothly with the whole breakfast thing, until this morning I wake up to the smell of something BURNING. Which if you have never had the pleasure of waking up to a face full of smokiness, let me reassure you, your not missing out. Seth comes into the bedroom and says "Don't mind the smell, everything is ok. I just burned my biscuit." In your mind you are thinking "Oh they biscuit just got overcooked" or " Maybe he is over exaggerating"

Real quick, for those of you who don't know, a mini frozen sausage biscuit in its original form looks something like this...

But I am thinking to myself from the intensity of the smell it has to be worse than what I am imagining. I get up go into the kitchen and this is what I find....

Wrapped up in a paper towel

As I start to unfold this monstrosity, it is getting worse

And this is what the poor lil biscuit looks like now.

Really I have never seen anything like this

So in his zombie like state, instead of cooking the biscuit for 35 seconds, Seth set the microwave for 3:35 seconds! WOW! So I guess from here on out we are doing Cinnamon Toast Crunch from here on out!

Lazy Sunday

Today was just a great day. Seth and I have been working opposite schedules lately and really havent gotten much quality time. Today we were both off, so we started the day with a mini marathon of 30 Rock. After we chilled in the living room, Seth playing madden and I was surfing the net. Thats called "Paralell Time". HAHAHA! Not really doing the same thing together but we are right beside one another to chat and crack jokes. After "P.T." it was time for an afternoon nap. Woke up, got ready and went to see the Hangover. It was freakin hilarious. A def go see. Then dinner and drinks at Texas Roadhouse. Came home, More 30 Rock, and then it was Laker time. Simple day, but a great way to start the Shitty work week that I have ahead of me!

Hope everyone has a great week!

After Seth Stumped him toe on the steps! It was so funny!

Laughing at me doing and impression of the "STUMPING"

We are just goofy. We cant help it

Holy Smokes S.J.P. is one HOT Momma!!

People can say what they want about my beloved Sarah Jessica, but your all just haters!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANAW

We love you and hope you have a FANTASTIC 29th Birthday! :)

My baby Bubba is all grown up

He graduated High School on Saturday and I am still on shock. It feels like yesterday he was playing little league, and bringing home fingerpaints!! (SNIFF SNIFF) I guess they can't stay little forever. God help us when Mo gets to high school. HaHa

Congrats Bubba. We are all so proud of you!!!

Only a few more weeks...

until the wedding at the beach. July 18 is the big day. I am so excited to go. The whole family is going to be there, including my sweet baby sis Morgan. I am just stoked. I think it is going to be a really good time. Not to mention my fave photographer (Julia Holman) is going to be there as well capturing every moment with her photographic genius!!

All I can say is that I am going to have some good looking nieces and nephews. Don't ya think?

Mr. Fredericksen has officially knocked Nemo into 2nd place in my opinion

Seth and I went to the movies Friday night to see Disney/Pixars new movie UP, it was well worth the price of admission. It really is just a roller coaster of emotions. It will have you laughing one second and crying the next. To me I feel adults will gain more from this movie than the young ones. Your lil ones will enjoy it. I mean there are talking dogs, a chocolate eating bird, and a hilarious lil wilderness scout that will steal your heart, but the message is just alot deeper than that. Do yourself a favor and go see it. Bring some tissues though. Let me know what you think about it!
