My 3 favorite flavors......

They're chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry kinda kids...and with those sticky faces combined they make for one cute neopolitan sandwich!!

Gotta love Thrifty's ice cream on a hot summer day...

Hope you're all having an awesome week! I'll be back tomorrow to tell you all about my dentist appointment from H E double hockey sticks!

Happy Wednesday Amigos!!

I'll be in the bathroom if you need me...

I've been trying to tell you for the last few days just how awesome my birthday was, but I've had my head buried reading The Hunger Games books while the kids destroyed the house been a wee bit side tracked. But I'm here now, so lets get to it! You see, the Hubs, in his infinite awesomeness spoiled me with a lap dance top for my birthday! WOOO!! I feel like I'm finally OFFICIAL. I've been begging, pleading, kicking, screaming hinting for a lap top for quite some time now and I was beyond surprised when he pulled out the little beauty.

Note to self: resort to throwing tantrums when you really want something. Husband will come through.

For one brief moment, the heavens parted and angels were singing...somewhere in LA, Tom Cruise was jumping on a couch. This was a big deal folks. I have to say, having a lap top is AMAZING! My life is complete now that I can do this...

{ TP is stocked and its time to catch up on some HOFFtastic news...}

BEST BIRTHDAY GIFT EVER!

I may never leave the bathroom again...

All I need is a mini fridge and some Red Bull.

I'm still in awe over how great the entire day was. Friends and family spread the love. Lindsay Lohan went to the clink. Even the kids decided not be jackholes! Score! So a big THANKS to all of you awesome people that made my birthday an amazing day. Every text, call, email, tweet, and hug brought a smile to my face. And reading all of those emails while sitting on the crapper was just an added bonus! I have a feeling that 27 is going to be a good year.

But now, its time for my gift to one of YOU! The lucky winner of my Berfday Stache Bag Giveaway is.................

Kristina from Pulsipher Predictions

Congrats woman!

Thanks to all of you who entered and played along, you rock! Now its off to bed for this girl because the children of the corn will be up before I know it, begging for food and demanding to watch Dora. Joys of parenthood.

Happy Friday Amigos!

Bust out the berfday banana because...

IT'S MY BIRTHDAY FOLKS!!

That's right, today's the day! The big 2-7! And while I wish I could spend the day stuffing my face with a delicious treat like this...

{Full of gluten and dairy and all things DELICIOUS! nom nom nom!}

I'll have to settle for something a little less mudbutt inducing, like this...

{Allergy friendly for this girl please! wah wah wahhhh}



I'd rather not spend my birthday in the bathroom, thankyouverymuch.

So pass the banana and bust out the pinata because its party time!!

Taking in the scenery....

While we were in Monterey, we set out to Pebble Beach to coast down 17 mile drive and take in the sights. That's where we saw this stud....just throwin' out the vibe. Rawr. Don't swoon all at once ladies, I know its hard to take your eyes off of that rump roast. You're welcome.

{Crack is whack kids...}


Happy Wednesday!

We're back!!!

Did I forget to tell you we were gone? Last week we decided to pack up the swagger wagon and head out to Monterey for some good ol' family fun, DANG IT! Ever since honeymooning in Monterey it's become a sort of family tradition to go every year. So we stocked up on medication, caffeine and clean undies and got the heck out of dodge! The kids always have a blast, and Jordan and I....well...we survived. Barely. We started the trip off by heading to Monterey's Youth Museum. My little mongrels LOVED it, and I have to say, it was pretty dang rad!

{The Cline Crew to the rescue!}

{She's 1 going on 16...}

And of course we hit up Fisherman's Wharf and the Monterey Bay Aquarium...

{They're like snuggly little sausages...I want one}

{The three stooges...}

{Scuba Steve and the boys}

{I'm secretly obsessed with sea horses...so dang rad}

{My little matey's lookin' for booty...}

{Pirate prom photo circa 2010}

{Fine dining on the wharf....I'll have the Sally special}

{Family stoll in Pebble Beach...The Dude was working on a tan}

{Don't let the smile fool you...it was flippin freezin!}

{Happy Birthday to Me!! Mark your calendars folks...July 20th!}

{Little Miss Presley conducting the train}

We even managed to sneak in trips to the Carmel Mission, 17 mile drive, and Dennis the Menace Park. It was exhausting, long, hectic, and crazy....and we loved every minute of it! But now I need a vacation from our vacation...something that includes no kids, lots of sun, fruity drinks, and a Murder She Wrote marathon...sigh...I can dream, can't I?

Happy Tuesday Amigos!

I'm losin' it folks...

Summer is halfway over!! THANK THE HEAVENS ABOVE! My frazzled nerves can't take it anymore. If I have to hear one more "I'm bored!" I think I may lose it. My patience is thin, folks...dangerously thin. I've reached my yearly quota of water fights, pool trips, and movie nights. And if I have to watch ONE MORE friggin' episode of iCarly I'm going to go postal and have to be locked up. Just throw me in the slammer right next to Lindsay Lohan...Milkawhaaaaat?? We can be rehab besties.

Anytrainwreck, back to iCarly...I can't stand that dang show! But Mason LOOOVES it! I just don't get it. And don't even get me started on all those other namby pamby Disney shows...At the risk of sounding old, I have to say that they just don't make TV shows like they used to anymore. We had the BEST shows growing up!

Whatever happened to shows like...

Clarissa Explains It All

{This chick had a ladder to her friggin' bedroom! Hello bootycall!}

Salute Your Shorts

{Camp Anawanna, we hold you in our hearts and when we think about you, it makes us want to FART!}

Hey Dude

{Hippy-ti-yi-ya....Get along little doggies}

Ghostwriter

{They solved mysteries with the help of a GHOST! So gangster!}

Now those were some quality shows! I could go on for ages...Secret World of Alex Mac! Legends of the Hidden Temple! Wild & Crazy kids! SEE! So much better than the crap we have on today... I guess things could be worse, its not like I'm watching BARNEY!

Happy Thursday Amigos!!

I bleed red, white, and blue!

The love for the Red, White, and Blue runs deep in my veins folks.

I have a very soft spot in my heart when it comes to our great country and those who serve...

I get chills every time I hear our beautiful national anthem sung....

I get a smile on my face when I see our glorious flag waving strongly in the wind...

I get a deep sense of gratitude when I see my children playing so freely without a care in the world...

We truly are blessed to live in such an amazing country. Despite the hard times, we are strong. We are resilient. We are fighters! We fought for our freedom, and we continue to fight!

I am so thankful to those who have fought, do fight, and will fight for our country. Their sacrifices bring tears to my eyes and a deep appreciation in my heart.

So as we celebrate the 4th this weekend, let our flags wave high and mighty! Let the painted night sky burst with pride! Let us remember what the 4th of July truly embodies! I hope you all have an amazing and fun-filled 4th!

"'Cause the flag still stands for freedom, and they can't take that away!"


HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!
