turn that frown upside down

So yesterday was a bad day. Not the kind where everything goes wrong. The kind that you bring on yourself by allowing yourself to think (I knew thinking was dangerous). I tried all my usual tactics; blaring music so loud it hurts my ears, repeating "It's ok, It's ok, It's ok" over and over again, reading, etc.. It was all to no avail because I have responsibilities and so I can't just hide out with music and a book.
Everyday Casey calls me when he gets to the car to begin the long trek home from SLC. Yesterday, our conversation went like this Leslie:"Hubby Moon!" Casey:"hi wifey, how's work" L: "Lame" (this is my usual answer) C: "Are you ok?" (my tone must have been off) L:"long day". And then we chatted about our day. When I made it home I had time to change, get my stuff together, and head off to the store to buy supplies for my night at Slate Canyon. To my lovely surprise I walk in, pet the excited puppy, and go to drop my purse on the table when I see My favorite flowers, in our wedding colors, sitting in a vase on the table. They are so beautiful! I looked at Casey and said "what are these for" and he just shrugs and says "you sounded like you had a bad day".
These gorgeous flowers made everything better. I won't lie and say I was instantly in a good mood or my worries went away, but they upped my positive quotient and made the rest of my night a LOT easier and pleasant. Thanks Hubby Moon for being great! I wish I had pictures to post but perhaps I'll get them up tomorrow! :D

To Do List

Here's my list of things I want to do at some point. I'm hoping that by writing (typing) them down I'll have a reminder. So here they are in no real order.

• Sky diving
• Go to the east coast
• Help a complete stranger in a big way
• Skinny dip
• Make and serve a fancy five or six course meal
• Go on a cruise
• Have a baby boy
• Pet a tiger.
• Have a dog that weighs at least 160 lbs
• Buy Casey the best snow mobile on the market (or his dream truck)
• Build homes with habitat for humanity
• Learn the basics of car mechanics
• Meet a REALLY famous person and pretend not to know who they are.
• Swim/lay in a pool filled with pudding (or noodles)

That's all I can think of for now... It's not too much to ask for right? ;)

My PG girls

I just don't know what I'd do without these girls. They always make me feel loved and supported and I can tell them all about the stupid people who piss me off and about my cute family and they get mad with me and happy with me (or at least pretend to be ;)). They are fabulous. I've been best friends with Tisha since forth grade and Katy and Maeg since fifth. Thanks for stickin around girlies! Love you! Thanks for playing with me Saturday!

I look scary. But they look Cute! on the left is me and then Tisha, on the right is Maegan and then Katy.

Longest weekend ever

This last weekend was very event filled. There were 3 main things that happened

1. Casey had appendicitis (spelling?). We had to go and get a CT scan for him and 30 minutes after we got the results he was under the knife. We got out of the hospital monday morning and he's doing fabulous. The did it laproscopically (meaning they took it out of his belly button! SWEET!) and he's just tired and sore.

2. ANNIE ELLA MAGNUSSON was born! Yay new niece! that's number 15 for Casey and I and it's still just as exciting as the first ones! She's gorgeous! she was put through a bit of an ordeal during the delivery and her poor mother had a 17 hour delivery. But she is here and beautiful.

3. Logan's engaged!!! (yes, this is the third time I've edited this post) I think he's a slacker for not having a ring yet... ;) but oh well! We're all way excited to have Natalie in the family! Yay for new sisters! She's perfect for Logan and I feel partly responsable since I kind of hooked them up. Kind of.... haha I'll just be proud of myself! We kind of guessed what with all the forehead kisses and the constant touching... ;) YAY Logan and Natalie!

Anyway, this weekend was very busy... and I'm exhausted. But for the most part it was great! Poor Casey got to hear most of the good news from a hospital bed... Anyway! I hope everyone's doing great! :)

Yay for Best Friends!

I must start this post by telling everyone what a bad person I am. I forgot my best friend, Ali's, Birthday.... Yes I know, How can someone forget there best friends birthday!? Well if you've met me, then you know how. I'm a flake. Ali has to remind me when her birthday is, along with everyone elses birthday, aniversary, holidays, etc. etc... I'm sorry I'm so dependent on you Al! So, I took a trip down to Cedar City last weekend to play with her! We spent a lot of time talking, (us? talk? never!) and interrupting Trav's football time, but it was perfect! Mickey Fillerup even came and played!!! Yay Mickey! Casey couldn't come because he worked Monday (and I didn't) and he had plans already. Again, I was bad with pictures but here's what I got. Love you best friend! Thanks for being fantastic!

Me and the birthday girl looking good in our pj's

These are the three people who made my weekend fantastic! Thanks!

Bahahaha I like this picture! Trav, you still owe me cookies.

I love my best friend.

Crazy Crazy Christmas

This Christmas was crazy and fantastic! The Magnusson side changed plans on us a few times and so we never actually had a set plan. Meaning we tried to hit every main event with both the Moon's and the Magnusson's. I was sick all Christmas weekend with a really bad cold but it was still a blast! We did Zoo lights and Christmas eve with the Moon's and Christmas eve day with the Magnusson's. Christmas day was a jumble. We did breakfast and presents with both families and lunch/dinner with both families as well. (yes we ate A LOT!) As always we were really bad about taking pictures. I finally remembered my camera as the second set of presents was being opened... sorry Moon family! Any way, here are some pics from the Mag family madness.

I think this picture really captures the madness that is Christmas. Take note that this is only half of the room. The other half looks exactly the same only with more kids.

Casey got Birthday cookies with candles! the kids helped him blow them out.
This was Pirate Cheetah and his puppy. Peyton will not let you call him anything but Cheetah and Skills' new name is "Dup".

Isn't he the best Indiana Jones ever?! What a stud. Mom got costumes and the kids just loved them! I didn't get Shelby in her Princess dress and jewels or Little Casey in his fireman hat. What a bad picture taker I am.... Oh well.

Yay for the Giles'

I know this is delayed, but, I'm super excited for Brady and Ashlee. They are just so dang cute together! We're so glad that Brady found Ashlee; she's perfect for him! We love playing with these two and we're so glad that we got to share in there special day. They both looked super hot! but no one looked as good as Hubby Moon did in his "best man" tux! Mmmm he looked good! ;) here's some really bad pictures from the wedding, sorry they're all I have for now.

There first dance... fer cute.

One of those rare moments where we have a pic of both of us. I thought it should be documented.

Right after smashing cake in each others faces! :)
