Awkward & Awesome

Awkward:

-i am twenty years old. today. right now. yikes. 

-the wind out there. shooot. 

-drunk boys in vegas. oh and the girls too. 

-the things those drunk girls wore. yikers.

-that one mans "swim suit" at the pool. 

-how tired i was yesterday. i mean i seriously had to take two naps!

-seeing someone in a different state, that you NEVER see at home. seriously if i wanted to "run into" you i would do it in Idaho. 

Awesome:

-i am twenty years young. today. right now. yipee!

-being serenaded "Happy Birthday"  at mid night by one friend when there were 4 others present. ha. 

-surprising my long lost friend at work. 

-seeing Glee live in concert. 

-getting the most amazing birthday package: owl necklace, owl vinyl cut outs, etched owl glasses, and a HILARIOUS card. love you ker bear! 

-the wonderful family that i have, there is something about getting a text that says "have i told you i love you lately? I love you." in the middle of your conversation about where you want your birthday dinner at, that makes a grown woman cry. love you daddy. mean that. 

by far the best weekend i've had in a loooooooong time

Why you ask?! 

Well lets just say it started out with 

seeing one of my bestest friends

 in the whooooole wide world. 

annnnnd then, 

going to LAS VEGAS 

with another one of my best friends!

we partied it up in the big city... 

met a few creepas along the way...

annnnd i got to see

LIVE in CONCERT....

GLEE!!!!

 allllll of the Glee cast was there!

with the exception of the adults,

but there was recordings of them, 

soooo they were involved. 

all i can say is AMAZING!

 alsooo i got to see some of my other friends....

we're the three best friends that anyone could have..... 

i soooo needed to see my ker bear 

and it was sooo great to be able to go 

spend my last weekend as a teenager in 

SIN CITY. 

I believe it's time to meet Nutso...

sooo here is the deal. remember my parrot, and my owl? well my mom did and the other day she was at good will and she found this cute little squirrel and laughed and gave it to me and said i thought you would like this because you like little creatures and well to be honest yer NUTS. 

and so Nutso was born. 

well my roommates didnt like him, he was shunned from their presence. kinda sad actually. 

sooo he's been living a life of sadness. 

but, last night that ended.  

Soooo begins the 

ADVENTURES OF NUTSO 

honestly if you dont get it watch this....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nutso's 1st bike ride!

Nutso's 1st Denny's Run

Nutso drank a lot of water... so we decided he needed to try to use the restroom. i mean seriously i cant stand it when people dont potty train their squirrels. so inconsistadit. 

well clearly the potty training was a failed attempt... cause well....

he really did feel bad though... 

off to the tub he went...

and im sure glad that the drunkards were the only ones in Denny's cause well Nutso made a scene. 

THE END.

Yabba-Dabba Do! I LOVE YOU!

Happy Mother's Day toooooooo YOU! 

Mexi Baby.

Jaycee Sue... was born on 5/5/2000

meaning that last thurday was her 11th birthday. 

fun fact:  may 5th in Spanish is Cinco de Mayo??

yeah weird. another fun fact: 5/4/2000 my mother was prego with jace face, and she did some flips on the trampoline and then we went out for mexican food, cause she wanted my sista OUT. 

well the very next day.... Cinco de Mayo our mexi baby was born. 

although i was sad that i wasnt the baby of the family anymore, i was sooooooo excited to have jace face in my life. i remember when my mom would be working she would have jace in her swing and i would always pinch her toes so that she would cry so that i could hold her since my mom was busy <insert evil laugh> muahaha. 

like i said in the awkward and awesome post, i threw jace a "surprise" party at my apartment. we had a Cinco  de Mayo ward activity and my fam came up for so i decided to make it special for jay's birthday... 

here is the failed attempt at the S'MORE cake.

here is jace with the piñata Pepito
