Heat Vision and Jack

So, this about 30 minutes long, but I PROMISE it is worth your time if: a) You like Ben Stiller productions. b) You like Jack Black and Owen Wilson. c) You like storylines where humans morph into objects and can still talk. d)You like TV shows that never aired because they are so bad that they are AWESOME!

Trust me. Blaine did, and he loves me more now because of it. PLEASE comment if you actually view this little gem.

P.S. I cannot take credit for finding this. I remembered it the other day while we were watching old episodes of Nightrider. It was first presented to me by good ol' Wayne and Vegor back in the day.

Happy Birthday Alicia!!!!

I was thinking what I could do to make Alicia's Birthday a little more embar . . er special this year and figured the least I could do is post about birthdays and more importantly her birthday this year. So Alicia is 25 again this year, and we couldn't be prouder of her for taking that all important step that women often dread. That is, to start repeating your 25th birthday rather than your 21st. She's come a long way. Here are just a few other people celebrating the big 25 again today.



Yup, thats right, good ole Jennifer Love Hewitt was born on the your exact birthday. Don't worry, I'm posting a picture of you on her blog. She'll be pumped.



Alan Rickman aka Snape, Snape, Severus Snape . . . . I hope that song will reside in everyone's head for the remainder of the day. If you think you can resist, feel free to check out the movie below and see if you have the mental power that I lack.



And last but certainly not least, Kelsey Grammer is celebrating 25 again today as well.



Just check out that hairy chest. I think I understand a little more about your intense love of the hairy chest now. It's directly tied to the day you were born. How's that for scientific proof.

Hope you have the best 25th birthday anyone has ever repeated.

Melissa Sebourn: a.k.a. Doppleganger

It was a quick visit, but Melissa was in town and I was lucky enough to hang out with my doppleganger for a few hours... more than enough time to hit the mall, have a coke, analyze some "Lost" and play with new baby Eden.
Melissa and I met in our Pinnacle singles ward (we happened to be dating the same guy unknowingly). We became fast friends and since we also happened to be in the same major, we took a bunch of classes together and hung out constantly. I love this girl! We got married within six months of each other and even managed to marry guys who really like each other. Lucky us! Anyway, Melissa and Noah moved to Kentucky in the fall for law school and Blaine and I have been sad about it ever since. They are really great friends.
Here's hoping Noah gets an internship in Salt Lake this summer.
Here's Mel with Eden

Not the greatest of me, but Melis, Laurel and the girls look cute. (Thanks for the pics, Rojo!)

Name That Gender

So Blaine is convinced we are having a baby girl. I had a dream last night we had a little boy. My mom thinks it's a girl. Nannie (Grandma) thinks it's a boy. Last time Megan and I did an ultrasound in her office, she was leaning toward a boy. Chris (Blaine's mom) is dying for a girl, and with all boys I can't blame her:) I'll be honest... the idea of a girl is really exciting to me but OF COURSE, I'd love a little Blaine too.
What's the purpose, you may be wondering? I want to know what you all think. We won't know officially for a few more weeks but go ahead, tell us--what are we having?

Isabel tribute

Well, if you've looked at my sister Laurel's blog, you know that Isabel just had her first birthday. I know I'm a little biased, but this is the prettiest, smartest, most fun little girl in the world.
Laurel was smart enough to make Isabel her own cake. This is how it started...
And how it ensued...
...
What a mess! I love this girl.
Doing her "so big" trick.

The real cake. Well done Rojo!
These are a little older, but I couldn't resist posting them in my only niece's tribute.
...
I love her laugh. :)

It's a baby!

Okay, so it's hard to see and it really looks more like a gummy bear right now... but there he/she is--with little flippers and everything.
We are so excited!
We had our first docter appointment last week, heard the heartbeat, and decided to make it public: We are pregnant. About 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. Due date: August 28th. We can't wait!

Wac-a-Kid


My friend at work likened teaching to playing Wac-a-Mole a while back and I've never laughed harder. Having just begun two new semester classes (Creative Writing) this week, I feel her pain. I don't know what happened... it seems I have every ADD kid at Alta High School and they're all loaded into my shrinking classroom. Seriously, these classes are HUGE! We'll see how it all turns out but so far, I'm a little nervous.

Pop-Culture SHOCK!


I am SHOCKED! Seriously shocked. And I really don't know what to do about it. On my way home from work today, I was listening to the oldies station; not just classic rock or something like that, but a bona fide oldies station (94.1). I've really had a hankerin' for the old stuff lately, another sign I'm getting old, AH!
Anyway, those "old geezers" played Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" circa 1985. What the crap?!!? What is going on? Am I really that old or is 1985 seriously considered by most to be a certified "oldie"? Where is the world going? I know I'm turning 29 next month... I'm a little freaked by it, but I didn't think that me pushing thirty also meant that my childhood is being pushed into a category it really doesn't want to be pushed. Am I even on the ride anymore at all?
I'm really at a loss here. I think I'm having a mid-to-late-quarter-life-crisis. Help!
At least this picture of the queen of pop is totally awesome :)

Elder Lee


So I am a blog picture stealer... I only took two... if you all want to see the rest, check out my sister, Laurel's blog.
Anyway, I hate the MTC. It's so sad. And I am always hysterical in there. I mean, this is my little brother! Saying goodbye, then watching Brett say goodbye to his siblings and parents is just too much. Okay, okay, so I'm really proud of him, and I have no qualms against missionary work (ask me about my new church calling, ha!). I know this is the best place for little Bretty to be. Isn't he so cute?


Here are all the Lee siblings. Michelle, me, Elder Brett, Matt, Scott and Laurel.
Laurel already said it, but it's so true: these are my best friends! I love these people!

Happy Anniversary!


To follow suit a la Elizabeth and Ange, here's a picture of our wedding day--exactly two years ago. Blaine and I were talking about it last night...it's such a weird feeling: To feel like you've been with this person forever, yet at the same time feel like it's all gone by so fast.
Needless to say, I love being married to Blaine. We have so much fun together. I just couldn't be happier. And seriously, how hot is this kissing picture? Whew! :)
