Who wants free crap???

So many people have asked me "What's the deal with the cheese with a mustache?" and my initial reaction is What's wrong with it???? So you DON'T like my mustached cheese? You're TOO GOOD for my mustached cheese? HUH?? HUHHH???

Then after I've settled down for a minute I explain to them that I picked the cheese because, well, first of all it's delicious. And second of all, it goes great with our theme. As far as the mustache is concerned, I felt it brought a certain air of sophistication that may not come across in some of my posts. I want you to know that while I may come across as cheesy, I am also cultured and classy, like a fine bottle of wine...or in my case Martinelli's Sparkling apple cider, since you all know I don't drizink. SO....I thought this next giveaway would be a perfect example to show you how claaaaasy I really am. Mmmm-hhmmm.

{Go on....take it all in....totally radical aren't they?}

Birthdays and Meatloaf....

We're all about the birthdays over here at the House of Cline. We don't celebrate for just one day, oh heck no, we party it up for an entire weekend. Living solely off funfetti cupcakes and red bull. Hardcore, right here. That's how we roll. Well, at least until we hit 30, then we'll just stop celebrating and counting all together...

But in the meantime, we had a blast celebrating Jordan's birthday this last weekend. Saturday night we hosted a little get together to celebrate Jordan's birthday, as well as the birthday of a close family friend too. Lots of food, friends, baked goods, and UFC made for a perfect night. I mean come on, who doesn't love celebrating their birthday by watching grown men beat the crap out of each other? Because we sure do. Sorry for the lack of pics, I was busy being the doting hostess!! Here are some of the highlights...

But first, an explanation. When you see the picture of this 'cake' you're going to find yourself thinking that it looks a wee bit different. There's something off about this cake. Here's the thing. My husband's favorite meal is meatloaf (insert gagging noises here). Blech. Sooooo I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and make a meatloaf cake, complete with mashed potato 'frosting'. It was actually a huge hit!! Yup, feast your eyes on this creation......

I know...you're mouth is totally watering, right??

Little Miss Presley completely zoned out...but still looking adorable!

A handmade duct-tape card with a winking Obama....did I mention Jordan's a
conservative republican who is creeped out by winking?? Perfect.

At least there was a year suscription to Guns & Ammo in it!! Totally redeemed himself!

Hey Atlanta!! This one's for you! My SIL made me this AMAZING Elvis apron that I put to good use cleaning up at one in the morning, hence why I look so haggard!
Oh, and I made you cupcakes too :)

On Sunday we had a more relaxed day and took a faaaaabulous nap and then
took the kids to the dog park for a jammie play date.

Our pups were POOPED after their little outing!
And they looked slightly possessed too... Kinda creepy...

We finished off our hectic weekend with some snugglin' on the couch.
Perfect way to end the perfect weekend...

Now I'm off to go wrap myself in a giant bow and wish my husband a happy birthday!! BWAHAHAHAAA!! Who am I kidding?? I'm gonna sit here and blog. But it's the thought that counts, right?

*******HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY!!!*******
Now, bring that booty over here because it's time for some birthday spankings!! HAAA!!

Baby Showers and Crisco...

On Saturday, Le Brooke and I hosted a faaaaabulous baby shower for one of our besties, Eliza. After many late nights planning, glittering, cooking, and decorating we managed to pull it off. We were ready to shower said baby. We were so happy to be able to spoil our niece-to-be with tons of mouthwatering food, amazing decorations a la Brooke, and great friends. Here are some photos of the festivities...for your viewing pleasure...

Scrumptious goods made by the baking master, Courtney...

The delicious spread, complete with virgin mimosas and chocolate covered strawberries....
Nom nom nom..

Some of the adorable little touches from the bird themed shower...


The gorgeous mama to be opening all the loot...


Me, Courtney & baby to be, Eliza & baby to be, and Le Brooke..

All in all it was a fantastic affair! Eliza, we love you, but I'm SO glad it's over!! HA! Now we have to start planning Courtney's! WHOOP WHOOP!!!

So wait...you're probably wondering about the crisco. Well, you know how every group of friends has that one crazy guy that will do, say, and eat pretty much anything? You know who I'm talking about. Ours is lovingly nicknamed Dizzle. This guy equals hours and hours of entertainment, oh let me tell you!! I once got him to eat a sandwich made with jufran banana sauce, peanut butter, ketchup, and tartar sauce. Vomit in my mouth. Well this weekend....I got him to EAT CRISCO!!! SEEEEEEEE!!

Blech. Seriously gag.

We videtaped the horrifying incident, but trust me, you don't want to see it. Just thinking about it makes me dry heave. But since he was such a good sport I decided to make him a special treat.

A personalized chocolate covered banana...
awwww, I'm so nice.

The rest of the weekend kind of paled in comparison. Just the normal stuff like Presley peeing ALL OVER the floor and having horrid stomach pains for cheating on my diet. Nothing exciting. What about you?

I'm in a cupcake coma....

So Jordan and I have been making more of a conscious effort to watch what we eat...Uh-huh. Yeeaaaah. By watch, I mean I watch my hand pick up the chip, swoop into the guacamole, and direct it straight into my mouth. Let's just say that some days are easier than others. Now the last few days we'd actually been doing really well! Toot Toot! We'd been really sticking to our plan....Then there was today...well, here's how it all started. A few months back, Mason got an award at school, and with the award they gave him a gift certificate to this scrumptious bakery called The Icing On The Cupcake. We decided that today we would take him in to claim his yummy treat...yeah I didn't stand a chance. I'd been there before and I knew what I was battling. Jordan and I even agreed that we would get one and split it, that's not so bad right?? Well the thing is....that didn't happen...

I just couldn't resist the sweet aroma! It hit me full force like a ton of bricks. BOOM!! Delicious butter cream frosting right to the gut! POW! Sprinkles!! Chocolate!! AHHH!! The only thing I cared about was smashing my face into a slab of deliciousness....and that's exactly what I did. I ate that Pink Delicious cupcake like my life depended on it. And in that moment I was convinced it truly did!! Here's me throwing Jordan under the bus. Homeboy didn't even stop to breath! He inhaled that cupcake like someone was gonna take it from him if he even stopped to chew! It was intense. We were sweating by the end of our feast!

I should feel guilty, but I don't!! In fact, I'm still hungry! But it was an awesome time...the boys loved their treats and we loved watching them partake in the smorgesborg!

I'm committed to being good again...so tell me why I came home with a dozen frickin cupcakes??!!! THAT'S RIGHT!! They're even better the second time around!

I'm purring right now like a cat with cream on it's whiskers.....yum yum yum...sorry I can't share with you guys...here's a picture...just imagine...it's a lot less fattenning!
