You could say this is a #TBT I guess. And more stuff.

 

I was flipping through old photos and found these gems.

 

Note: This is not an announcement :)

 

Yep, that is Baby Kailie on the left and Baby Jimmy on the right.

 

Tell me, something doesn't look right here. Aside from all of the hoots and hollers we give over this photo, I can't help but be slightly jealous of the hubs for having fantastic hair. Obviously I was bald. For far too long. So, what will the future Baby Breitlings look like? Hahahaha.

The hubs wrote and sang me a song this morning:

"Mooses have bruises and geeses have leases on their nieces!"

He sang it all. morning. long. Then texted me his lyrics at work. It was rather sweet and romantic.

I told him to be quiet.

As of now I am husbandless for a few days. He kissed me goodbye and headed off for a backpacking trip. I would have loved to go with him but my body just can't do that much right now. He says, "Maybe next time you can come!"

 

I am a little worried about him being out there. If he were any less skilled then I would be very on edge right now. Hubs told me he was more nervous about me than himself. Something about my overactive imagination. ;) Good thing I have plans to stay busy and hang with family! And making some frozen yogurt in the ice cream maker. MMM!

 

Anywho, you would be slightly worried too when

A) He preps you by saying, "If I'm not back by this time...then somethings wrong."

And

B) While making his meals, he expresses a little concern about the animals being able to smell his food and causing some trouble. He later adds, "If bears come and bother me, I'll just feed them these jalapeno pepper seeds."

 

 

 

 

random bits + you probably didn't know.

 

I thought I was being gentle. From the looks of how that kitten is holding on for dear life though....

 

Last week's FHE. Getting our flower beds all pretty. Mostly hubs did all the work. I weeded. And measured out the plants. But later found out that I let the bushes be planted crooked. Hubs could only laugh. I tried, ya know?

 



 And I clearly killed my flowers. Didn't even have them for a day. Luckily hubs rescued them.

 

More in the flower beds.

 Grilled pineapple, chicken, and sweet potatoes. I love that most of my weeknights are spent at home now.

 

 Current entertainment. This says a lot about us.

 

Just little tidbits from around the house.

 

 

 

 

- FYI I cannot prepare any meals with my hair down. I always have to pull it up if I'm dealing with food. Hair and food= gross.

 

- Hubs likes his milk warm. He leaves the gallon sitting out all day so it'll be nice and warm for dinner. Yuck. It took me a while to not put it in the fridge anytime I saw it sitting out. I don't drink it anyways so its all his. Warm yuckiness and all.

 

- Today was the first day in a little over a week that I've actually had energy and motivation to be productive. Modern food kills me, man. I'm trying to get it out of my body and I actually feel a lot better today. Still have a headache and tummy troubles but I've got energy to clean the house, work, grocery shop, etc. Feels great to not be a bum.

 

- My sister came home from Washington today. Yippeeee!

 

- I've got a whole lotta veggies to start making a whole lotta salsa. I'm going to be eating that goodness for weeks. So excited.

 

- That is all for my ramblings.

woa. thats a lot of pictures.

I could have split this post up into a few different posts. But whatever. We're just going to go with the whole "go big or go home" thing.

 

What a weekend success! Between crafts, family gatherings, good BBQ, pretty scenery, yummy home grown honey, I could go on and on.....it was fabulous. But I'll just jump right into the pictures

Sunday walk. We are constantly stopping to observe plants. Hubs needs to find out exactly what it is and every little detail about the tiny plant, and I need to snap some pictures. Typical typical us.

 

Weekend sunset

We spent Sunday evening at my parents' for Mother's Day. My dad barbecued some tri tip and each of us kids provided some yummy sides.  It was such a delicious meal!  I brought homemade baguettes and the Oreo/pudding cake dessert thing. We'll just make that the professional recipe title.

 

 

 

Of course we then had to enjoy the beautiful weather and my parents' garden, animals, and even learned a little about my brother's new beekeeping hobby.

 Ruby loved to sit on my mom's plants. Niiice and cool. Until she got bored and started to dig them up.

We licked the honey right off of those things. So so so so so so good. And the nutritional benefits? Even better. Hubs wants bees to stare at them all day. I want bees to reap the sugar of their labors. So bees we just might get.

And to my Mom- Thanks for being such a great mother and friend! I'm glad I was placed in your family where you raised me.


 

just because its FRIDAY

Week of randoms.

 

 

Love my man

A beautiful wedding for a coworker. 

 

 



 

Sitting on my couch looking out my glass door as the sun was setting.

 

This is how I feel about Hubby's half day on Thursdays.

 

 

Quick story- My mom used to breed dogs. And some being pugs. They are such good dogs. My mom let me keep one of the puppies years ago. We names her Emma. She was such a fun a loving dog. We gave her to a good home (family friend) a few years ago. My sister is visiting said friend and snapped these photos of Emma for me. 

 

 

HA! And fyi- I still want another pug.

 

 

I don't know why I get so excited for the weekend. I have to work every weekend night.

But maybe its the short Saturday days that I love. And those Sundays. Ahhhhh.

Anywho, I plan on getting my craftiness on this weekend, enjoy the outdoors, and some quality family time.

 

Oh, and Happy Mom's day to everyone! What would we do without you ladies?!

i learned my lesson the hard way. and we are reunited!

You know how I posted about all of our yummy food in my last post?

Well, shoot, did I ever learn my limits this weekend.

My body has been super sensitive to the food I have been eating. Especially the junk. And even though I didn't eat a ton of it, junk food was all I had over the weekend.

I guess my body can't handle it right now so Monday morning I woke up sick to my stomach. I chewed mint gum, drank lemon water, went outside for fresh air, lay down, too hot, too cold, couldn't stand, hated sitting. Nothing worked.

The nausea just got worse and before we knew it, I was laying on the bathroom floor crying, telling Jimmy how it hurt so bad and I've never felt so sick before.

Jimmy was the sweetest. Rubbing my back, cleaning the house before work, asking if there was anything he could get from the store. He even offered to look for the knock-me-out sleeping pills, just so I could sleep through it all since nothing else was working. Boy did those pills work. A four hour nap later and a lot of clinging to the porcelain, and I was on the road to recovery.

 Yuck. So for the past two days I've been eating nothing but veggies, some fruit, and some healthy light protein. (With a little treat tonight.)

 Moral of the story- Don't test your limits. Its gross. And painful. But you do get to be lazy and watch shows all day. And your hubby will be super sweet. So it wouldn't be a total loss.

On a much much happier and less gross picturing note, I saw my oldest and closest friends from high school! (And a little after high school too, until we all got busy with grown up stuff.) We met up to see our previous sewing teacher before she left teaching at our high school. Seeing as we spent hours and hours in that sewing room, we naturally became her annoying children. We fought a lot. But she loved us all those years. We ate some ridiculously good food tonight. And watched the fashion show. And laughed a lot. And took a lot of pictures. And was too hot in that room with all those people. And sat in the car to talk and laugh some more. And promised that we would have to get together again. I'm holding up my end of the promise, ladies!

 

Ummm, that peanut butter brownie in the back? Party in my mouth. Should have dumped the whole display table in my purse while I had the chance.

 

 How many takes do we need for just one crazy face picture? Apparently six.

 

 

The four crazy, sewing girlies. Minus one who's in Germany (we missed you J!) That photo we are holding is of us in high school that our teacher kept in her classroom. Who would have ever thought that we might have matured a bit after graduation? I know, I know.

 

Somehow our heads are all flattened out....but hey! That lady in the middle taught me everything I know about sewing and boys. The most important lifeskills. Such a peach. We'll miss you, H!

 

 

if you wanted to know a little, no, a lot about our weekend

 

Every week I write about how great the weekend was. So repetitive but so true! When Sunday comes to an end, Jimmy and I always mention how we wish the weekends lasted a little longer. Especially with this fabulous weather we've been having, the warm sun calls for adventure! And so for a little recapping for whoever even cares about what our weekend looked like...

 

 

Early morning rock climbing up the canyon. This is starting to become a tradition. We know when 8 AM rolls around on a Saturday morning, we are off to climb some rocks while the sun rises. I know, I know, none of you can get past the fact that we are up and running around so early on the weekend. But the truth is that we both are awake well before 8, no alarms needed. And we can't sleep in. And we go to bed early. Say it, we are old folks.

 

 

We attended a baptism right after our climb then headed off for a little burgers and shakes date. Ummm, the Malt Shop is so good. Hubs loved his apple cobbler shake and I downed my brownie goodness. Anyone know of any other killer thick making delicious shake stops around here? Doesn't help my healthy eating goals but hey, a girls gotta live a little before she goes crazy.

 

 

 

And of course seeing my lovely sissy. What you are looking at is currently the screen saver on my phone. I've got nothing on that girl. And heyyy, she's decided she's going to be a dentist. And she'll get there in no time. So awesome.

 

 

I got my crafting on this weekend. Out of nowhere I was pulling supplies from the garage and getting myself into a giant mess. My back kills as we speak from this gem. Its not as perfect as I wanted it to be. It turned out being harder than I thought. But I loooooove it. And hubs didn't even have to help me assemble the wood together. And I free handed the painting job. And I already have a million other ideas. And and and that's enough "ands."

 

 

I knew exactly where I wanted to put it. Sorry for the not-so-clear picture, I couldn't wait until the perfect light hit tomorrow to snap away. I already know what projects I'm going to tackle this week. Can't wait to show you guys all of my goodies I've been stashing in secret.

 

 

Our Sunday was fabulous as well. I was reminded of how wonderful of a man I married to. I'm so blessed to be able to keep him forever. Church was so uplifting and you might as well rename me "Mrs. Waterworks." We also enjoyed a baby blessing for some close friends of ours. Then took a long nap together. Yep, great weekend.

 

 

So there you have it, every little tiny detail about our weekend. Don't mean to bore you but I can't leave a single thing out, ever. ;)

I just realized that I spent a lot of my day playing with animals. Who needs a social life when you've got fury friends? Haha, I guess thats just the ranch girl in me talking.

 

I've had a gross fever blister on my lip this week. Swollen and all. Awesome. Hubs stares at it and then tells me its yucky. Thanks man. So flattering. Anybody got some awesome tips to get rid of it?

 

We've been pumping iron this week. Hubs got some nice weights. We lift while we watch our shows at night. Hubs laughs when I do it. But he looks at my muscles too. I make sure they get real nice and manly for him when he's looking.

 

I've been working on my little business lately. Hopefully I can get things up and running soon so I can make it official!

 

Anybody know the best place to get discounted Disneyland tickets? Hubs and I are hoping to go this summer. *Crossing my fingers*
