that girls blog reminds me of YOU.... her designs are what I see you creating
I wonder where she gets her graphics? I think I may just recreate one of her ideas for my christmas card this year...would that be horrible?

this would be fun

so next year's going to be our 10 year anniversary, and i'm trying to talk leroy into training for one of these with me, then having our anniversary trip be to go to hawaii, do the race, and stay a while afterward. wouldn't that be fun!?!?!

2010 schedule

okay. it's killing me that i'm just sitting around this summer missing out on all these fun events, so while i can't do, i CAN plan. and planning i am--- a whole year of having 'sore sundays' (i define a weekend as a success if you're sore on sunday). i'm giving baby until january 01, 10 to sleep through the night so i can have energy to train.

the list.
- Ogden half (not just run it, but RUN it. 1:45 or less)
- Ogden Valley Xterra tri
- Wasatch Back
- Heber Valley Tri (you have some there, right?)
- Ogden Valley Tri
- wasatch beach volleyball (we can try this out on off weeks, right?)

feel free to add. of course, this is right now a wish list, we do have to consider family events and money. but hopefully we'll be able to do a bunch of them. i'm going to come up with a work out program that will have swimming/biking/running/weights specific for beach vball.

excited? i am! have fun running and playing this summer, and i'll be there (well, probably a couple minutes behind you) next year!

just playing around a little

i've always thought that if i ever had a company, i'd call it 'beach house designs'. hopefully i'd get rich enough from that company to buy a beach house :) i just did this label tonight... not sure i love the font, but the flourish things i really like. okay, i'll try it with 'sweet straps', one sec.


maybe. i'm really into this dark blue/purple color right now.

totally fell in love with this floral font.

more to come.

label

What do you think of the middle one? I like the long S with the flower coming out of it.

MUST figure out

these are the cutest things i've ever seen and we have to figure out how to make them!!

We seriously need to learn to knit.

Imagine the possibilities!!!!

I'm at my mom's, and of course I don't have my recipes here. So I'll just put the ones I know off the top of my head.

Bean dip
1 can ref. beans
1 can black beans, drained
1 cup cheese
1 cup salsa
1/2 cup sr. cream (I just changed that, 1 cup was a lot)

Boil everything but sr. cream, stir it in just before serving. Serve warm with chips.

Fajitas
This recipe changes every time I make it.
Cut beef or chicken into strips, put in bag with 1/2 cup oil, 3-4 slices fresh lime, garlic, salt, pepper. Marinade for a couple hours.
Cut up peppers (usually green are cheaper but colors are prettier and sweeter) and sweet white onion into long thin slices. Cook meat until done, then add peppers and onion. Stir fry together for a while until tender. Serve on a tortilla with pico de gallo, guacamole, ref. beans.

Pico de gallo
3 fresh tomatoes diced
1/4 - 1/2 sweet white onion diced
1/2 bunch cilantro cut into tiny pieces
2 garlic cloves cut into tiny pieces
1 lime
dash salt
Cut everything up except the lime, mix it together, squeeze the lime juice on it, let sit in fridge for 1/2 hour or so.

Guacamole
mash up 3ish avocados, mix with a couple spoonfuls pico. Salt and pepper to taste.

We had this last night when we had the new neighbors over for dinner, it was a hit.

Your turn!
