Day 319 - Idea Man

I alway tell Steve that I wish I were an Idea Man (no, that's not a real thing)

I don't want to be an inventor, or a product designer...I just want to sell my random ideas to people

Then watch them inpliment/create them while I relax and get rich

(I usually say this after I've had some true stroke of genius)

But today I saw what a real "idea man" can do...

These are the new ketchup packets at Chic-fil-a They blew me away!

The truly amazing ideas/designs are the simple ones that make you say,

"Wow how has that never been done before"

The design is a combo of a traditional packet and a dip type contaier

And it is designed so you can use it either way...brilliant!

Oh and the overall look of the mini bottle is so cute

Day 318 - Still Spinning

So back to Myk's early bird birthday...

First if you haven't seen it already, please look up The Creep video by Lonely Island (so good!)

We were so obsessed after seeing it that we were "creeping" Myk's entire birthday

The real creeps...

Us doing our own creeping

Next up...I posed Myk for a birthday photo shoot (yes, she loved it!)

 

Next up, throwing blueberries into each other's mouth (while mom was getting ready)

(Haha, we really are little birds aren't we)

We tried to get everyone to bring their birthday crowns to Myk's birthday because she was the last one

In our year long crown extravaganza...bad news was mom's and Kipp's crown didn't make it

Thank you Mykaela for making such a fun tradition...I can't wait to see what you do for the next birthdays!

(And here's me hogging the birthday limelight as always!)

Oh and you know you're a real birthday queen when you get both cake and cupcakes for your birthday

And let's not forget presents...Myk got some of those too

That's right...she now owns Toms! Our little hippie is now a hipster!!!

Best part of the night: The cupcake tree (and no, she is not turning 52 years old)

After lighting all of the cupcakes Myk thought she would give the tree a spin to help her blow out the candles

Well turns out her little spin wasn't so little...she sent that thing flying...along with all of the cupcakes

Yeah that's Myk's "cake" all over the floor...

Good thing the top tiers stayed in place and we actually got to eat some

Oh and you know what's weird...if you spin the cupcake tree and take a picture

The "25" always shows up facing the right way...crazy!

So that's Myk's early birthday...she came, she saw, she conquered

Love you my little bird bones, hippie, hipster, Mykie-Mykers!



Day 317 - Early Bird

Today we had an early celebration for my little bird's (Myk's) birthday (her real birthday is the 16th)

She will be in Cali for her birthday this year so we wanted to squeeze in a birthday for her while she

Was in town for a friend's wedding, and another friend's going away party, and another friend's birthday

(Yeah it was a really busy weekend for her!)

Anyway, we were at my parent's pretty late hanging out and partying so I am going to make this short

But I promise the full birthday wrap up later this week...cause man it was a crazy one!

But for tonight:

Happy early 25th sissy!!!

Coming up later: The Creep, exploding cupcakes, blueberry toss, and Toms!

Day 316 - If you say so...

Today when Steve and I were at Home Goods we came across some super cute kid chairs

This particular one killed us...it was faux suede, fully reclined, and had a beverage holder in the arm

Better yet was the warning stamped into the beverage holder...

(NOT AN ASHTRAY)

Wow, well I hope not...I mean I know kids grow up fast these days but smoking at age 4 seems a bit crazy

Even worse, Corey said he thinks the warning is directed towards parents...

Like telling a parent not to use the cup holder as an ashtray while their kid is sitting in the chair

Either way, we couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous both the chair and the warning were

Oh and here is a behind the scenes shot...Steve got a picture of me taking a bunch of pictures

Yeah, I'm that weirdo

Day 315 - Balls to the wall!

I just stole this aerobics ball from my mom...

And I found a killer ab work out that promises to give me smoking hot abs

That is if I can 1) do the move and 2) stick with a daily routine

Bathing suit body here I come!

Day 314 - "The truth will out"

Today Steve went back to work...And I finally got to know what his case was about

Yeah, not that exciting - Just a guy going after a doctor for malpractice

And basically the doctor wasn't at fault...and although it took a week and a half to hear the case

It took the jury all of 5 seconds to decide that the patient really didn't have a case at all

So now we are all back to normal around here

And I have to go back to puppy duty in the morning and no longer get to sleep in

At least this should be an exciting weekend with Myk in town!!!

Day 313 - HAIR!

It might not seem very impressive to you...but I've been growing my hair out since my last birthday!

(I have been getting trims here and there to keep it healthy)

I now have two months to go until my next birthday and I'm pretty happy with where I'm at

Right before I turned 27 I cut my hair to my chin...and with supper fine hair this kind of growth is amazing
