My Ohana

Since my last post was about things I heart I thought I would post some pics of people I really heart! For those of you who are out there wondering if you made my picture post the answer is probably not, considering I have decided to post pics of my ohana. (For those of you out there in blogger land who aren't Hawaiian or haven't seen Lilo and Stich Ohana means FAMILY)

This is my hunky husband in Hawaii when we visited a nude beach! (Just joking he totally had his swimsuit on and we didn't even realize how funny this picture really is until we got home and looked at it on the computer)

Grandma and Grandpa Cooper. These are two of the most FABULOUS people I know!

This is my family Dad, Mom, Brother, Me, and my Hubby!

This is my bro, Jeff, me, my grandma, my great aut, my great uncle, and my grandpa

Last but not least the two of us!

Things I Heart

Since my life has been pretty uninteresting lately I decided to post a list of things that I am totally in LOVE with!

1. Laundry that smells delicious! For those of you who haven't used this before it smells like lavender vanilla. I love to do laudry because it makes my house smell like a wonderful smelling laundromat!

2. MAC makeup. I know I have posted about this before but seriously I can't get enough of the stuff!

3. French dip sandwiches. I know this is a totally wierd thing to be in love with but honestly I could eat them three time a day every day. French dips for breakfast, lunch, and dinner baby!

4. McDonald's ice cream cones. These are soooooooo awesome! And the best thing is.... It's only 3 points!

5. This one I am sure is no surprise to those of you who read my blog but I am so in love with Weight Watchers! Also to go along with that I am in love with the friends I have made at ww and I am in almost in love with the body that weight watchers has helped me obtain! For those of you out there who haven't tried it this program ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh the Snow!

Last night Jeff and I stayed at my parents house because we heard conditions were really crazy at our house. My nephew and sister in law who live a little ways up the road had to sleep at the elementary school because the wind was blowing up to 70mph and there were white out conditions. So this is what I came home to

So I shoveled my way out!

Maybe we should move to the other side of the street, what do you think!?!

Mika Maddness

Last night Jeff and I went to the Mika concert. For those of you who are not sure who he is, his music is now playing on my blog. We were so excited to see him because a couple of months ago we saw he perfom on a late night show are he was awesome to watch. He was such a great perfomer that we promised ourselves if he came to Salt Lake we would spend the money to go and see him. So we did! But yesterday afternoon I heard that his equipment was stuck in Denver due to snow and I got a little bit sad. So we headed over to the venue after we got a bite to eat at Gateway. The doors were supposed to open at 6:00 pm, but we got there at 6:45 and there was a huge line of people standing around waiting to get in the building. We got in line and didn't really think anything of it. We met a foreign exchange student from Germany named Frauka and two cool cats from BYU in line and got to know each other very well because we waited outside in the freezing cold to get in the venue for about 2 hours. IT WAS FREEZING!

This is me being mad because by this time we had waited in line for 1 hr & 45 min to get in the door.

This is a pretty clear pic inside the concert once the maddness started!


Because his equipment didn't arrive they did their whole perfomance accousticly, which they had never done before. But to my surprise and theirs they sounded awesome! The crowd was wild and crazy singing all his songs and screaming you know the things that people do at concerts. Mika kept telling us that we were one of the loudest crowds and he was for sure coming to Salt Lake for another performance. So for those of you who are going to become Mika fans after reading my post, we will all have to go to his next concert together and scream our guts out! I thought the concert was probably better since his equipment got stuck because it was so out of the ordinary. The band kept saying how much fun they were having since they were making up things as they went along. He even performed a couple of cover songs, which he usually doesn't do. I guess the next time he comes to town we will have to compare the two performances.

Our friend Frauka took this pic of us inside the concert, and yes I made Jeff match his sweater to my hair. JUST KIDDING!

Mika Big Girl Music Video ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 Things People Don't Know About Me...

1. I think I am addicted to clothes. It doesn't matter if I am buying them for myself, my husband, me nieces or nephews I just love to buy them! I love to look at them smell them and just imagine how awesome it would be to be able to buy clothes for people all day long. Oh, by the way that would be my perfect job. I love to dress people doesn't really matter who I just love to do it!

2. This is kind of funny since I love shopping, but I will never spend over $40 on one thing. I am all about quantity instead of quality. Kind of wierd I know, but I just can't help myself. I love to see how many things I can buy with the least amount of money.

3. When I am the mother of teenagers I want to have an awesome house so that my kids will always be hanging out at my house. Not because I want to have the coolest house or anything like that. I want to be able to spy on them so I know what they are up to at all times, and keep them out of trouble.

4. Oh I am also obsessed with MAC makeup. I love going to the counter and looking at all of the pretty things. The funniest thing about it is that there is a really beautiful man (he is gay and very well groomed) that works at the MAC counter in Fashion Place mall and whenever he is helping me and tells me something would be really pretty. I ALWAYS BUY IT!

5. I love to people watch! I could go sit in the airport and stare for hours. I just think people are pretty interesting, especially when observing them in their natural habitat.

6. I am always freezing! Even if it is 70 degrees in my house I always turn on the fire and sit on the couch snuggled up in a blanket. Even in the middle of the summer.

7. I loved the Twighlight series about the vampires. I am not much of a reader, but this series was soooooooooo good! I was finishing each book in a couple of days and they are long books!

8. I don't like to get flowers because they die. They are so beautiful for a couple of days, but then you have to throw them in the garbage. What a waste! So instead my husband buys me shirts!

9. My husband has an impecable sense of style! He picks out the cutest clothes for me. Whenever I am out and about wearing something he has picked out I always get tons of compliments.

10. I am a cronic nail, zit, eybrow picker. I love to pick at everything on my own body. I never pick at other people. I am always afraid it would hurt them. I don't think Jeff knew this when he married me, but now he calls me Little Miss Pick and Pull.

and last but not least I am a blog stalker. I will read people's blogs even if I don't know them.

I officially tag everyone who takes a look at this blog!
