Milo The Murderer

It's true, this cute little face is that of a murderer. Well, I'm not exactly sure what happened, but here's the story for those of you who haven't heard it! When I arrived home from work last Thursday, I was greeted at the door by my adorable babies! Milo then proceeded to run over to the stairs and pick something up with his mouth. I didn't know what it was, so I bent down to get a closer look. It was a MOUSE. I didn't realize what it was until I saw the sick ass tail hanging out of my dog's mouth. Yes, he went from being my baby to a dog that fast! I freaked out and started screaming, mice terrify me. Milo just kept trying to show me his treasure. At that point, I wasn't sure if the thing was dead or alive. But I certainly didn't want it touching me. While Milo continued to chase me around the kitchen with it, I set off the alarm because I couldn't get to it to shut it off. I called my sister Amanda to come and save me and she just laughed and said, "what do you want me to do about it". Thanks Amanda for that!! Milo finally put the sick thing down and went upstairs to pout because I wasn't excited about his treasure. So I locked him and Barkley in my bedroom so they couldn't get to it again. I had to wait for John to get home from work to throw it out. There was no way in hell I was touching that thing. So, I'm not exactly SURE if he is a murderer because we had no signs of mice in our house. So there is a possibility that he found a dead mouse outside and brought it in. Milo is a little hunter, he killed a bird the summer before last and brought that in for me to see too. I had just had surgery on my foot so I was on crutches. John was golfing and had to come home to save me. He wasn't too happy with me! Milo is 100% boy, and it freaks me out!! If he ever brings a snake in the house, I swear that little dog is going to be punted across the house!! And then we will have to move!

Happy 27th John!!

Last Sunday John turned the big 27!! Saturday night we celebrated by going to Keys on Main. It was so much fun! We invited all of our favorite people to come! Thanks to all of you who could make it!! John's parents even joined us! The dueling piano players had John come onstage and embarrassed him so badly!! They had him dance to Madonna's Like a Virgin. It was hilarious. I recorded it all! John drank entirely too much, but what else are you supposed to do on your birthday?!! The next morning I had a massage scheduled for him. Just what he needed after a long night of drinking!! Sunday night we went to dinner with our families to celebrate John and my other favorite man's birthday, my Grandpa!! I hope you both had wonderful birthdays. I love you both so much!!

Happy New Year!

Wow, has it been a crazy month!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday Season. 2008 was such a great year!! I can't wait to see what 2009 brings! I'm hoping a vacation very soon, as this snow and cold season are going to be the end of me! I keep trying to talk John into moving somewhere warm but he keeps telling me no! Then I used my mad negotiating skills and said when we retire can we? He agreed to that!! Unfortunately, that is like 40 years away!!


This is what we woke up to on Christmas morning. The roads were horrible.


We got so much snow out in Herriman, it was horrible! Christmas was so fun though. We woke up extra early to go over to LeRoy and Krysti's to watch my adorable nieces open their presents. It made Christmas even more fun having the girls get so excited over everything they opened. It made me want to have kids now!! Not to mention, they are the cutest little things ever! Every outfit Hannah opened she had to put on. I've never seen a kid, especially a three year old get excited over clothes! She is going to be trouble for Jess and RJ!! Good luck with that guys!


Here is Hannah in one of her new outfits! She was too funny!

Madi loved her hippo we got her. When she opened it, she said, "now I have somting to sweep wif". Or now I have something to sleep with!

If you can't tell, I love my nieces!! They made me excited for when we have kids. It will make Christmas fun again. Not saying that Christmas isn't fun, but it will be more exciting and special when we have kids! I got John RockBand for Christmas. He told me he wanted it, so I bought it. Now he hates it and resents it because I'm addicted to it and make him play it!! Everyone that comes over, I make them play!! Let's just say that he took the game away from me the other night because I can't stop playing it! I made a special purchase for Ashley's Christmas present!! I bought her some Juicy earrings!! She loved them! I was so excited to give them to her!! Her reaction was priceless!!




Happy New Year everyone!! My resolution this year is to be happy!! I'm already very happy, but I'm going to eliminate things that don't make me happy! Too bad that won't work with snow, but here' s to hoping!! I love you all!!

Oh My Hell!

Yesterday after hours of Christmas shopping, we came home and started getting our presents ready for the Brigg's 2nd annual White Elephant Christmas Party. Well, I had a candle burning on my kitchen counter. As I was fixing the tissue paper to put in the gift bag, I accidentally flung it on top of the candle. It caught on fire so fast I didn't know what to do. I threw it on the ground and started stomping on it. That didn't put it out. So I started screaming for John to come downstairs. Luckily the fire alarm started going off or I don't think he would have come. Once the tissue paper was all burned up the fire went out. If I would have been thinking logically, I would have ran over to the kitchen sink and put it out with water. But no, I decided to fling it everywhere to try and put it out. So needless to say, it took about an hour to clean up all the ash and I can still smell the smoke. So, if you need a gift idea for me....it sounds like a fire extinguisher might be handy!! Just kidding!

More John Mayer!! Why Georgia!

How about another!! This is a long one, but so worth it!! Mostly I put this up for you Haley! I love this song, it's my favorite.

John Mayer Covers Coldplay's Lost

Here is 1/2 of the video I took of John Mayer covering Lost by Coldplay. He's so amazing live!! Sorry about the camera views, I kept switching! Enjoy!!

Merry Early Christmas To Me!!

For Christmas John ( I bought it and said he gave it to me) gave me a ticket to go see John Mayer in LA. Renae being the good friend that she is said that she would go with me! Let's just say she's on her way to being just as obsessed as me. Here's the thing, just when I'm on my way to being over him he pulls me right back in!! I will never really be over him. He truly is amazing. So we flew in to LA and took a taxi into downtown. We walked around downtown for a few hours and then decided to take the subway into Hollywood. Just like back in September, it was quite the adventure. But I finally found what I was looking for....Sephora!!!! When I die, Sephora is my heaven. It is the most amazing store ever! If you've ever been to Sephora with me, you know I can spend hours and hundreds!! HaHa!! I'm not kidding! So after walking around for hours...again, I'm not kidding we went back to the hotel to get ready for the concert. When we got there, we decided we needed a drink. As we were standing in line I noticed a group of people around this guy. So I kept watching...it was Bob Saget. AKA: Danny Tanner! I got a picture, I'll post it. Then it was time to go to our seats. Our seats were really good. Not as good as they were when I saw him in Salt Lake, but really good. Adele opened for him. You seriously need to download her album. She is amazing. I can see why she is nominated for five grammy's. Then it was time for my lover!! He was up on the stage all by himself. Just John Mayer and his guitar. How do you know if someone is good live? Let me tell you. They sing all by themselves with no one to back them up and they sound amazing! He sang almost all of my favorite songs. Oh and he covered the Coldplay song Lost. I was so excited. I recorded it, but I can't seem to figure out how to upload video so we'll see if that happens. Another favorite part of the concert (sorry if this offends you) is when he said he thinks it's funny when people come up to him and tell him they have sex to his music. He does have some good baby making music if you're trying to get pregnant!! HaHa! John Mayer still is and will always be my favorite. His music has such a positive message. If you're in a bad mood just listen to his lyrics. They are very powerful. Stop This Train and Why Georgia are my favorite songs of his. I listen to them everyday. Listen to them, I promise you won't be disappointed. He is such a positive person and quite the optimist. I can't imagine why I love him!! Right before he sang Why Georgia, he said to the audience how lucky he is. He said that when he looks back on every moment of his life, he's going to look at the hard times and the easy times and know they were all GOOD times. It made me stop and think. How often do we take what we have for granted? Instead of being happy and grateful for what we do have, we think about what we don't have. So this is going to be my New Year's resolution and I challenge you to do the same. Everyday think about something you are grateful for. Stop dwelling on what you don't have. It's a waste of time. Life is too short. I say this all the time and I'm going to say it again. You NEVER know when your life is going to end. So live it up while you're here!! Thanks again John. It was the best Christmas present ever!!
