another weekend with the babies

my cutest little munchkins came up a couple weekends ago and we had the best time. my brother-in-law Heinz is kind of a big deal in the ballroom dancing world and he came up to perform in the byu ballroom dance concert. they had 50 years worth of alumni dancing and let me tell you, they still got it! Heinz was front and center with his sister and partner Keisha. they were so spicy and sassy. we loved every minute of it.

we also loved playing with the babes. they get cuter and cuter each time i see them. we feed them lots of candy and let them be crazy with us so i'm sure their parents love when we take them :] what are aunts and uncles for right?

tegan and sara

oh my gosh! i am never going to get over what an amazing night April 6, 2010 was! it was seriously an out of body experience. so nick and i stood in line for about an hour before they let us in, but the company was pretty entertaining if you know what i mean. so we got into the venue and saw all of the merchandise! then camie came and met us and we were serenaded by holly miranda (mentioned below). after holly, was this crazy crazy band i can't even remember what they were called but they were really sweaty and dancy ha. THEN... Teg and Sar. They are better in person i think. they were so witty and charming. they didn't play my favorite song but i didn't really care. tegan was the talkative one and sara was quiet but awesome. we were sandwiched by a bazillion lesbians and nick wanted to beat one up ha. i just know my love for tegan and sara has grown and so has nick's. even though he still doesn't like to listen to them all the time, he appreciates their talent. Muah nick. i love you and that was the best birthday present anyone has EVER given me! (and he bought me a sweater that says tegan and sara on it! Woo!)

john jay scano

there will always be a special spot in my heart for

nick's dad. even though i have never met him, i am

so grateful for him for giving me nick. it was his

birthday on april 4th and we wanted to pay a little

tribute to him.

i can't say too much about him, but i know by the

stories i have heard and the person that nick has

turned out to be, that he is an incredible man. his

family is so amazing. they are the perfect example

of a traditional italian family and the most important

thing to them is family.

i love him and cannot wait to meet him some day

Holly Miranda

My new favorite Musician!!! Holly Miranda! She hasn't left my

car cd player for the past week and it has been a beauty driving

to her. She is so talented and inspiring. I know I am not a

singer and never wanted to be a singer but Holly made me want

to be a singer haha.

She opened for Tegan and Sara a couple weeks ago and speaking

of Tegan and Sara... They get their own post.

But seriously those of you who have my similar music taste...

You can thank me later.

Asian Craze

nick is not a big fan of Asian food to say the least. he has to

prepare himself if we ever decide to go to Chinese or sushi etc...

but lately

that is all we have been eating! i know weird! good for me

though because he rarely lets me indulge my love.

first. The Thai House in Lehi.

loved it!!!

the restaurant is set in someone's old house.

it has a beautiful big fireplace, but the lighting is

horrible. i think there was one guy running the

whole show...hosting, serving, cooking, busing...

funny

the food was delicious! I recommend the

thai fresh spring rolls (appetizer)

steam buns (a little weird.)

musaman curry(entree)

panang curry

pad thai noodles

green curry(really spicy)

thai fried rice

mango sticky rice (dessert)

not as good as Benja's

i recommend this restaurant to thai lovers! i am

becoming a LOVER!

next. Thaifoon Taste of Asia at the Gateway

it is a little more pricey than Thai House, but

the ambiance is a lot better. (Sexy)

lettuce rolls (appetizer)

tuna roll-delicious...i love tempura

evil jungle princess (entree)

the only curry they had but awesome

pad thai noodles

thai house has better

i forgot the last thing we got but it had green beans.

it was amazing!

mango & strawberry rice (dessert)

last. PF Changs

i know everyone has eaten here and knows what is

good and what is not. but we ate here two weeks in

a row so why not.

i love their lettuce rolls and am obsessed with

the crab won tons.

we have been loving the crispy honey chicken

but be careful when eating... i got a few tendons blah!

the sesame chicken is super tasty

kung pao chicken was a little dry and not

much pao!

for dessert the chocolate cake is delicious and also

the banana spring rolls are muah!

to end the asian month with a bang i catered an

engagement party and the bride's favorite food was

thai...

menu consisted of...

thai beef salad

maple soy salmon

bahn mi crustinis

gyoza

chicken satay with peanut sauce

mango sticky rice

can you believe all the asian in one month!

nick is such a good sport. i will have to eat a lot

of italian and mexican from now on to make

it up to him

nights are getting pretty boring without my man

so i work in the mornings and nick works at night. i pretty

much hate this arrangement. i come home from work, say

hi, then bye, and have the whole night to myself. i try to think

of cool stuff to do to keep me busy and productive, but my

house can only be cleaned so much, and i tried running, but

i hate it!!! my toes are always painted now, i am reading a lot!

etc....

i am doing my internship right now which combines work

and school and i was used to having my days chuck full.

we are moving in a month so getting another job would be

pointless. any suggestions on what you stay at home momma's

do? i think i am a workaholic, or i have A.D.D.

i hope hope hope

they play this one at the concert. my most favorite would be

"not tonight"

but this one gives me a feeling. they are super artistic so who

knows the deeper meaning behind this video.
