Massage

Happy Saturday!  Today I'm going in for a massage - ahhhh.  I've been going on a weekly basis this past month (I have about 10 prepaid massage to use up!)  I'm a member of Massage Envy and have been so happy with all the therapists.  I've had chronic back pain since I was little and these one-hour sessions really seem to help.
Even better than a regular massage is a hot stone massage.  The therapist puts oil on you, then uses the hot stones to massage (instead of hands).  Heavenly!
Are you a fan of massages?  If you haven't tried it, I highly recommend!

Scentsy

B's cousin Janelle introduced me to Scentsy products a little while ago.  I love, love, love them!  Between her and her mom we now have 4.
 Our first one - given to us for Christmas
  Valentine's
A wall plug-in, perfect for our bedroom
Janelle's mom, Mary, sent me this today!

With each warmer, you purchase various fragrances (my favorite is Enchanted Mist, followed by Green Tea & Cactus).  The wax is then melted by a little light bulb inside.  They have their classic collection and then a new warmer and scent of the month.  Thank you Janelle and Mary for these wonderful gifts!  xoxo

Back to the Daily Grind

We had a great time in Vegas (minus the nasty smokers who infected me with their nicotine).  My mom and I LOVE playing the slots (the guys not so much) so we pulled some handles while my dad and B wandered; they were very patient with us!  Thank you mom and dad for supplying the money - sorry I didn't win anything big :)
We saw 2 shows:
  We visited:
Hoover Dam
Red Rock Canyon
Spring Mountain Ranch - home of Howard Hughes

We also spent a day by the pool and went bowling.  We crammed a lot into our vacation and had a great time!  I'll post some personal pictures of our trip this coming weekend when I get a chance to download.
Now back to work.  We have Open House next week, so we're really cramming in the Spring art projects.  On that note, I need to go prep some yarn "hair" for our All About Me people (photos to come when completed!)

Viva Las Vegas

B and I are flying out bright and early tomorrow morning to meet my parents in VEGAS!  I'm so, so excited because I've never been.  We've got a lot planned: comedy show, musical impersonators show, golfing, hiking, and maybe a *little* gambling.  Thanks mom and dad for taking us - see you in 12 hours!  
I'll be talking with the rest of you when we return :)  Have a great week!

Success!

My Easter breakfast turned out (phew!)  All you need to make the french toast is:
(1/4 tsp. of cinnamon and nutmeg, 1/2 tsp. vanilla, 2 eggs, 2/3 cup milk - mix together & dunk bread)
Ta da!  Bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, potatoes o'brien & french toast

Happy Easter

We hope everyone has a wonderful Easter!  B got home at 7 this morning and heads back to work at 4 this afternoon, thus not leaving much time for festivities.  So, we just celebrated Easter a little early!
I will be waking him in a few hours to a delicious homemade Easter breakfast of french toast, eggs, and bacon.  Pictures to come (if my cooking turns out ok!)

Spring Break

I love my job.  I love it especially on days like yesterday, when Spring Break officially began at 11:20am.  No work for 10 days!  Before we left on break, the kiddos had some fun on an egg hunt

As if I didn't waltz on in the door in a happy enough mood yesterday afternoon, B made it that much better.  Due to him working on Easter, we decided to have our Easter celebration last night.
I'm an Oregon Ducks alumni, hence my love for ducks :)
delicious ham dinner
FUNFETTI Easter cake
Haven't had it since our wedding - so yummy on special occasions

Thank you babe for a wonderful early Easter and all the little surprises!  xoxo
I hope everyone has a happy Friday!
