This post is super long

What? I haven't blogged in forever?
Well, I would blame it on my pregnancy, but that is one of my biggest pet peeves.
People blaming things on being preggo.
I mean, you kinda know what you signed up for when you do the deed, right?
We always have stuff going on.
Making excuses ain't gonna get ya anywhere.
Speaking of preggo, we will find out the sex of the babe tomorrow!
Anyway, I digress.
So I haven't blogged because I was outta town and doing lots of other exciting things.
A few of which I will share.
And the rest of the pics included are also important.
Very important.
First of all, I had a birthday. It was a fairly significant one because this is the last year I will be able to say I am in my late twenties.
Next year I will be ... (whisper) 30!
Anyway, I spent my special day at the temple with the hubby, my sister and her honey.
Then I was treated to Chevy's for lunch.
Chevy's is delectable.
It is my favorite restaurant and I could easily devote an entire post to their salsa and tortillas alone.
But I will spare you and just insist that if you ever have the chance you must picky promise to try it.
And yes, a picture of me blushing wildly under a tacky sombrero while being humiliated with a cheesy birthday song at the restaurant exists but will not be making an appearance.
You're welcome.
I won't fail to mention my b-day dinner Scott cooked me the night before which was also delish.
He looked up the recipe for my favorite burger from Red Robin and recreated it, fries an all.
And did all the laundry.
And watched the kids so I could take a super long, much-needed nap.
It was awesome.
Anyway moving on.
If you are still reading, it will get better, promise.

On to other news, Ryan has to wear an eye patch for the next month a couple of hours a day.
I am sure you can imagine how much she loves that.
But it is to be short-lived and will help her left eye to focus better and be stronger.
What a sweet, little pirate.
And I think she looks doubly cute in this picture because I just gave her a haircut, and I just love her baby bangs.
She is showing off her new Rupunzel doll.

And not to be forgotten. Ezra and his handsome light bulb head. In fact Scott thinks he looks a little like this guy ...

Megamind.
But I think that Ezra's head looks that way because of his haircut.
It is somewhat military-esque.
Plus he is really smart (I am talking about Ezra, not Megamind).
So perhaps his brain needs a larger cavity to hold it.

And speaking of hair ...
Mine is slowly getting longer.
Just look at those piggies.

I aspire to have hair like this ...
Only dark brown.
So cute right?
This is Hayley Williams from Paramore, if you are wondering.

And this is one of those other important photos.
I got this faux bamboo tray at Goodwill for like a dollar.
I think it will be awesome once I have given it a shiny coat of white lacquer.
I needed something for my coffee table, you know to hold the remotes, magazines, etc.

And last but not least, another important tidbit, this cd is amazing.
I absolutely love Glee.
The show is my fav and is the only one I watch religiously and then think about for days after.
My sister gave me this cd on my trip down the Eugene this week (which was really fun).
I listed to it on the way home, twice.
She is the only one that shares my obsession for this show.
I love this cd because it has a little bit of everything.
And the cast is so talented.
You should watch this show...

right after you enjoy a meal at Chevy's.
I'm off to clean my kitchen and get the kids ready for bed.
Goodnight!

Happy Birthday! I feel like a dork for not saying so earlier. I'm glad you had such a nice birthday. A nap? you're one lucky girl!
I really enjoy reading about food, so I wouldn't mind an entire post about the salsa and tortillas. Actually, just mentioning them made me hungry enough to go get some chips and salsa. I would have to disagree with you about the preggo comment though.... I think being preggo is the perfect excuse to complain and blame things on. I mean, when else could you whine about and actually get away with it? I use it to my full advantage.
anyways, can you tell my husband has been MIA and I am starved for conversation? We need to visit. next time I will invite myself over, instead of leaving lengthy messages on your blog!

I'm glad you enjoyed your after birthday Eugene celebration. I used to like Glee, until it got trashy. Something about high school girls kissing on a bed just didn't work for me. So I stopped watching. Sad. Let me know if they get less trashy, because the music is fun. And seeing what Emma wears is even more fun.
