my birthday week!

as you as probably know i just had a birthday and am now 21! woohoo!! this birthday was extra special because tony let me use my "its my birthday" excuse the entire time we were on vacation! haha no really it was probably one of the best birthdays yet!

we happened to be awake right at midnight when my birthday officially started so i broke out the camera to capture the special moment in time.

trying to time a high five for my birthday!
birthday hugs at midnight!
this is tony's "i have an idea, lets go party at a club since your officially 21" face... haha
this is my "i'm just happy its my birthday" face

and i decided that since its technically my birthday i should at least get to have one of my birthday gifts. so tony gave me my pink purse i found on amazon.com. i love it!

(notice cyber's nose at the bottom by the purse... haha pretty sure she thought it was something to eat...)


*side note: i found out very quickly though that this purse can't be used as an 'everyday' kind of purse. its more of your 'nice night out' kind of purse... so naturally i had to buy another purse. :) i will have to post a picture of my other new purse on my next post. i haven't taken a picture of it yet... but it is so cute!*

i know this is a really random picture but that night as we were packing cyber was getting really nervous and was pacing around. i felt so bad... but she survived thanks to tony's mom watching over her while we were gone. thank you sue!





we finally got to bed probably around 2:00am... not the smartest thing considering we had to be up early the next morning so we could get to the timpanogos temple for my friend emilie's wedding (the same emilie i went to mesquite with a few weeks ago) she looked gorgeous and so happy and i'm so happy for her!

just waiting for them to come out of the temple
emilie and cory!
their cute little family! (soon to grow by one more-natalie is engaged!)
the girls!!
em and me
my sexy model husband :)
i get camera happy sometimes...
sisters!
the happy couple

so after the temple me and tony went home to finish packing and opening gifts so we could be on the road and get down to mesquite before it was dark. 
birthday kiss!
my gifts from my hubby!
my new perfume 'heat by beyonce'... it smells so good!

then at like 2:30 it sounded like it was pouring outside so i ran to our deck to watch the rain for a few minutes. when i looked outside it was hailing!! and not just your average size hail either... these hail chunks were huge!! so naturally i had to get a few pictures... haha


we finally hit the road about 3:30 and got to mesquite where my family was anticipating our arrival! i will post pictures from our trip in a later blog. i need to gather pictures from my family and decide out of the hundreds of photos taken, which ones are my favorites!

sorry i know this post is long enough already but i have a few more pictures of cyber that i love and want to share with you!

tony likes to annoy cyber by grabbing her ears with his toes... well cyber was getting back at him and i got this shot... haha i'm sure he deserved it!
and this is one of my all time favorite pictures of cyber. if she needs to go out, is hungry or thirsty, or just wants attention she will come over to the couch and just stare at me. one of the many reasons why i love my puppy! i mean who wouldn't love that face!?

girls getaway

so me natalie and emilie went down to mesquite a few weeks ago for our annual girls getaway. its basically an excuse to go someplace warm, sit by the pool all day and work on our tans, and stay up all night watching chick flicks and talking 'girl talk'. it was a much needed vacation!

on our way down there
the scenic drive... (i have about a hundred different scenic pictures so i felt i had to share at least one of them)
the box of food from nat and em's cute dad... thank you!!
i had to take a picture of the hot pink sign!! :)
emilie natalie and me!
haha making fun of the typical "mirror shot"
(i've never understood them... most cameras have a timer... or better yet... get someone to take it for you!)
wwwaaaaaa!! haha love the office!
just getting back from the pool...
 i love how red we all look
we decided to get dressed, do our hair and makeup to go out to eat a nice dinner instead of eating mac n' cheese or spaghettios again
(next time we will know to stay away from the chicken fingers and ranch sauce...)

trying to get a picture of our tan(er) legs. this is the only shot i could find where we actually look like we got some sun. (sorry nat i only got one of your legs... haha)
i love these girls!!
leaving mesquite :(
the bullrun limo we saw on the freeway on the way home (its shaq's limo!! haha)
going back in time to our high school days of driving in the car listening to this taylor swift over and over... sadly we still remembered all of the lyrics to all of the songs...
gotta love wendys kids meal toys
the "owls"
matching bags!!
we started our mesquite tradition last year when i got engaged... this year em was engaged for our trip and now nat is engaged! so it looks as if we will have to start planning our next mesquite trip! :)

and i just want to thank my grandma and grandpa jensen for letting us borrow the condo that weekend... thank you!!! love you both!
