do you think i'm cute when i blog all urban?

TwO wEiRd bUt cOoL thInGs aBoUt DC:


{1} so i know tons of people whom go off stuff like sugar and diet coke and xanax, but turns out there's tons of people who go off ANIMALS? lol! WTHeck! There called veegans. I met one and they seriously eat NOTHING to do w/ animals. Not even chicken nuggets.



{2} black people! Love them! honestly, they're everywhere. I even made friends w/ one at church! Seriously, she is awesome at dancing and has such darling hair. LOVE IT!

from TAMNs inbox: you're emails

guys! normally i keep the meanie-mails to myself but here're a few i thought i would show you so you could be outraged w/ me!

**JJWT & me swear to you that these are all real, actual, unaltered emails recently recieved. I KNOW. I KNOW.

{get your cute-gasps of outrage ready}

How mean is this!?

I am going to stick my nose in your business where it doesn't belong, but I just can't keep silent. However I tell you this in all kindness & concern for the welfare of your children. If you want your children to be taken seriously as adults, please reconsider their names. If you want an Olivia, name her Olivia. But giving her a train-wreck spelling only gives her the headache of having to spell it 2 million times over the next 75 years. And in the end the name is still Olivia--wait, or maybe it's All-ah-vee'--ah, my mistake? (maybe). Tridger doesn't have any style or ring to it. Made up names & creative spellings almost always sound contrived & always make the parents look illiterate, but in the end it's the kids who have to live w/ the names. Sorry, I just couldn't sleep tonight without speaking for the defenseless children.

RUUUUDE! i prayed about those names and everything!!! Their adorable names, right? Sorry for wanting to be unique instead of lame. Do you have ANY idea how many Tiffany/Amber/Megan/Nicoles were in my class growing up!? The wood letters above there cribs look freakin' amazing.

How about THIS rude-head!?:

I don't meean this in a mean way. it is spelled grateful. not greatful. i couldn't tell if you were trying to be funny or not with the wrong spelling so i thought i would let you know.

Whatever, grammer nautzi. I went to HAIR SCHOOL not ENGLISH SCHOOL. Honestly, I'm not a namecaller but anyone who seriously cares is kinda a looser.

And seriously, this one made me cry.

why are you so full of yourself. i just get sick when i read your blog. all your bragging. people who brag are the unhappiest people. who really cares about your life. keep it to yourself. all my friend and i just sit around and laugh at your blog. oh by the way i am also lds and have probably a better life than yours but i dont have to brag about it. get a life.

YOU GUYS! IT'S NOT BRAGGING IF IT'S TRUE! IT'S NOT MY FAULT I ROCK! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE THIS HAPPY SLASH BEAUTIFUL!

Validate me.

RIP MJ

I use to listen to You Are Not Alone like every nite JJWT was on his mish and I wasn't engaged or on a date.

worst. news. ever.

Just been busy catching up on my DVR and i = freaking out!

Did Jillian seriously send the practically a member pilot home??

And most important, is this Jon & Kate stuff serious??

I think I'm loosing faith in realty tv and want to cry.

fAtHeR's dAy {sorry it's late...the internet's fault NOT MINE!}

to my fAtHeR who always presode so manly


{picture of my darling dad and I at my bride day}

Some of my fave daddy memories:

~that time he got me a cute sassy special addition fancy car for my 16th birthday and then bought a new one when I pouted over wanting bright pink instead of pale pink. LOL!

~how he has adorable nicknames for me like "princess" and "emotional basketcase" and "my most expensive off spring."

~the girl's trips he always sponsors. SOOOOO nice and SOOOO blessed that he gets my sisters's and my mom's and me's need to get away every now and again {monthly} to NYC or Hawaii or the Carribbean or Pal to just pamper, rejubinate and get a little change a seen.

~how he'd lecture my dates about pure thoughts but never say a word to ME when I'd leave the house in my playboy bunny halloween costume slash modest minidress for prom.

to JJWT with love: the best daddy in the world!

{picture of me from bride day, with the back of JJWT's head in the background fuzzy and out of focus}

some of my favorite memories of my babies's daddy:

~on our first date, at the drive-in, between hormonal thrusts, I had a prompting that I would write him his whole mission and then bare his babies and they would be the cutest ever. Aw yeah!

~a couple months ago, he changed a diaper once and it was so adorable.

~how hard he works for me so I can stay home and spend the day doing high impact cardio workout videos and deciding where we'll go out to eat. I love husbands but i HATE that they have jobs!

~that time he bore his testimony about how I honor my femininity by working hard to stay hot and not letting myself go no matter what.

Seriously, I know this will sound cheezy and I don't mean it rude, but sometimes I think I love my dad and hubby more than anyone eltse loves theres. No offense.

love you guys!!!

plz stand by

YOU GUYS!

i seriously have so much to tell you about church and I want to pay a tribution to my two favorite daddy's: JJWT and my own daddy!

hApPy fAtHeR's dAy!

But the internets are taking foreeeeever so I can't loadup all the pics of me with them on my wedding and what a is tribution to someone eltse if it doesn't involve a pic of them with me!?

Things are going soooo slow! Technologies give me a headache. SnuggleButtocks hasn't set up a rowter or whatever that thing is that makes the internet go through the air everywhere in the house.

Ugh.

FROWNSMILES!

The submissions were so good it was fuh-reaky. Meet just four of the dozens of master-pieces submitted! Love them!

See the look on Jeannie's face as she sees that her friend Marie is back on diet coke? That is the "I'm def not judging you, but my feelings of moral superiority are through the roof and it feels so good to be better than you" look at it's finest.

Barbara gets bonus points for the painting AND willow tree figurines in the background. This is the face I made when Lynzii said she was having triplets. It's like polite happy and awww-that's-way-to-bad mixed with thinly-vailed gross out. And its beautiful.

Amy's frownsmile is of such intensity that it could be used for LITERALLY any occassion.

"Oh my GOSH how ARE you!?"
"You didn't do your VTing yet?!?"
"Have you put on any weight lately? Not to be rude."
"My daughter wrote all over your wall with permanent marker? CUTE!"
"LOVE. YOUR. SKIRT."

A true frownsmile works for all of those AND MORE. Divine.

Lili's is not quite frowny enough to be a real frownsmile, but I include it bc it's got an adorable rebukey gentle voice-as-high-as-your-standards confrince talk written ALL OVER IT.

now that I'm from DC

Know what is sooooooo weird?? We've been unpacking in DC for our internship and it was way sad bc I'm like four thousand miles from home and oober far outta my comfy zone, but its also way fun bc guess what?

We've met a ton of people EXACTLY LIKE US!

Seriously! Crazy right?

What are the odds?

We have forty new couples to be best friends w/ and check out how wierd this is: all the hubs are here for 2 mos. in law/biz/med/dental school on internships and all the wive's are preggo and/or have new little babies and have photog businesses! Seriously, who would of ever thought?


JJWT & Alivyiah & Tridger & me are already in four playgroups, three dinner groups, two Settlers groups and also have like seven guitar hero tournaments linned up! Seriously so excited to get a real taste of the back east culture by only spending time w/ my adorable clone transplants!! Soooo blessed to experience DC by doing adventurous explore-y stuff like watching SYTYCD with a new but identical group of girls out here!! And Angelbabe is in this new crazy EQ basketball league and I'm going to every game no matter what just to be supportle.

Except I'm homesick, so even though I'll be back in time to correct how they do things at church out here, I'll be missing a wild 80s themed potluck w/ all our new couple friends this weekend bc I'm flying home to get my Cafe Rio fix and get my hair done.

in case you didn't know

i heart enormous clocks.

best. day. ever.

Everyone else, pity me for moving and remember that just bc I didn't blog right away about the special bday pancakes I made JJWT and the ruffly apron I sewed for me so he could have a darling housewife just like the nineteen fifties doesn't mean I didn't do it ok?

My only soulice is knowing soon we'll be in JJWT's aunt and uncle's 12000 sq ft home bc their mish pres in S. America and need us to take care of it for free. Love service!

Good bye, home. Good bye Rio. Good bye Chilis and Cheesecake {prolly don't have those there}. Good bye everything I know. Good bye Zion. Good bye candle parties. Good bye cute hair. Good bye knee length shorts {no one there'll know the diff ;)}. Good bye familiars. **dainty sniffle**

I guess I just always thought I'd raise my fam here so this is seriously a heart rencher.*

wierdo

My sil Ruth just said if she ever made a blog it would definately be on wordpress.

LOL! What the crap is that? Is that even a real thing?

it's not selfish if i'm GIVING, haterz!

Nobody P there pants but guess what? Want a chance to win a bumload of free slash darling stuff???
This is where 'sponsors' {cute word right?} give stuff away and I get a ton of validation! It's like I want to feel like Oprah or Ellen but at the same time, I don't want to seem chubby {love you Oprah!} or into chicks {even though I'm not judging}, so its hard to know who to compare myself too right now so I'll just say THIS IS AWESOME!
ChEck oUt whAt mY e-BfFs cAn wIn thIs tImE!

• Cultures Salon has gone generously crazy. One lucky winner will get a free haircolor, cut & style from owner Michelle who will make you a hottie in two seconds flat...their in Clearfield, UT so the winner's gotta be local. {p.s. if anyone else makes an appt at Cultures before 7/15 and says TAMN sent ya, you get 25% off...baaaa!} ANOTHER lucky winner will win TWO pedi kits by mail {so you can be anywhere!}. One goes to the winner, and one to your frumpy sister missionary {or friend}. Each kit has enough for 2 manis or 2 pedis so basicly best gift ever. I'm definately sending one to Yvette if she yawns it up and ends up seriously going...blechy.

• ANOTHER hottie will win a dress of your choice from {shriiiieeeek} Shabby Apple's Manhattan line. I have like all of them and I look so smokin' hot and intimidating in them that I think people around me feel bad about themselves. Sad.

• Remember SelectHealth?? Guys, they told me that since so many of you wanted to get your darling hands on this prize package, they decided to give one more lucky ducky a chance at it...booyah! Just like I learned with Angelbabe, PESTERING WORKS! This SelectHealth gift basket includes an adorable slash useful diaper bag, baby DVDs, mag subscriptions, an adorable onesie, cute makeup bag, and other stuff. Your own Lynzii will seriously die when she sees you w/ this and the filling of supeeriority will be legit.

• The complete line of products from Shirley J! Worth over $100...we're talking their cream sauce base, white cheddar sauce base, all-purpose seasoning, natural dough enhancer, pizza & pasta seasoning, beef bouillion, chicken bouillion and a ton of crockpot & dutch oven seasonings}! Holy crap! There is no way any one in our new mission filled neighborhood stands a chance at the potlucks...do they even have those there? I'm going to wow 'em so bad with this stuff!

• Some MomSpit from Tender Cargo! Have you seen this stuff? It's just like, um, well, mom spit but easier and less grosser. I smear it on the twins' for a quick mid-jog clean like all the time ever since Angelbabe said no more using diet coke on their acne. p.s. just want to say YAY to Christine the Tender Cargo lady who is not only my eBFF but a rockstar mompreneur who just acquired The Nurture Center and is one of the most darling granolas I know.
  

• A freaking amazing gift basket from Mindy Mae's Market. They are a boutique of cuteness happening THIS WEEKEND, as in today and tomorrow, in Farmington & then in Pleasant View this August. You can win a recycled vintage book-turned handbag from Saying It Simply, AND something awesome from the Winborg Sisters (maybe you've seen their stuff in PB kids!? BAAA!) AND a cute funky little girls dress from Bugs'n'Bees AND a handmade wax seal pendant from Ritzy Misfit {Jillian wears one this season on the Bachelorette, seriously!} AND a handmade book from Made by Matchgirl and a darling child's charm of your choice from Absolutely Charmed. Holy Moly!

• A carseat cover set from BabyCoverz! {worth $124} Honestly, I have like forty. This is a four-piece set {carseat, canopy, headrest and leakpad} and she can custom fit it to basically any infant carseat you have! Tridger's is way manly and Alivyiah's is so princess. I am the best mom huh? See look REVERSIBLE.

• Another lucky winner will get a cute summer t-shirt of mine to remember me while I'm in Washington. Honestly, just the right amount of hotness mixed with awesome mixed with boob.

• Annnnd, just bc it's swimsuit season, some lucky ducky will win a dozen gourmet cookies or cupcakes from The Sweet Tooth Fairy in Provo. WHAT WILL I DO OUT OF ZION!?!?!? Waaaa / droool / WAAAA!

sometimes I post all vulnerable so the www will applaud me

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

Some meanies think I'm

--GET THIS!--

"narcicistic" {which means self-centered, not darling, in case you didn't know} and a crybaby.

bc I only ever blog, facebook, twitter, talk, and think about me and myself and my stuff and my hobbies and my cuteness.

which just makes me want to bawl.

I know you probably have your own stuff going on but I can't care about it right now bc I need you to tell me I'm not self-centered.

things are so chaos!

Oh my gosh you guys!!

Am sooo busy getting ready for becoming Washingtonites and trying to sublet our McMansion {interested?? EVERYTHING is damask and/or oober unique Anthro, PB & William Snoma, totally to die for, seriously love it} and getting tips for keeping hair cute in humitidy and snapping pics of the twinses blowouts {lol, there is NOTHING cuter slash funnier than blogging scrapping and talking about deep shades of runny seedy mustard poop on everything, lol!} and catching up on all the love-love-love it TV I missed on my cruise {jillian! pilot, kiptyn and reed are darling, foot guy is a creepo!}, AND trying to make arrangements for my own darling MoMatchelorettes AND trying to get as much of real Utah in before I move away to scarry heathenville...

anyways, soo busy with all of that that as much as it pains me to blog this, oh my heck I can't even say it...

{gullllp}

I haven't even posted my two month letter to the twin's and they are now TWO MONTHS AND ONE WEEK.

Sad!

**Cringe-n-binge**

This is seriously embarrassing and worse than that time I had to admit to everyone that I got board and read Breaking Dawn on wikipedia so I could pretend I finished and chat about it w/ my walking group the next morning. So ashameful! Do you guys think I'm a bad mom!? Just so everyone knows, I'm not, I'm way cute and darling and hip and I love my SnuggleBottom more every day and couldn't be happier! I'm just busy! Are you judging me? You wouldnt judge me right? I'm so glad only e-BFFs read this blog so you can validate me in the comments. {Ehem}.

p.s. I took the cutest longest so-wobbly-you'll-hurl video of Alivyiah and Tridger blinking and drooling. I want to post it right here but for some reason its not working and technologies are hard, but just picture it with me ok?

Adorable!

~oH mY yAy~

Wayyyy scarred about our move to DC next week and how hubbybubby will have to be a way hard worker for our fam all day but just found out the biggest darlingest blessing ever:


Turns out they have Target and Costco there to! I love LOVE love back east already!


Umm, tenderest mercy of my life!!!


Seriously, what are the odds?
