It's my party...

So for my birthday 

{on 11-11-11}

Spencer had a bunch of surprises for me

{i love surprises}

I woke up to a 2 page love letter

then we made my favorite breakfast

We had some morning lovin

and then showered and got ready

because we had a photo shoot planned

we haven't had our pictures done since our wedding

so we thought it would be fun to

get some updated pictures 

while the leaves were still falling

{and no snow yet!}

Here are a few samples:

After that,

Spencer surprised me with a

1 hour full body massage

as i was getting that done

he was home with a repairman

that was fixing our dryer!

i came home to a working dryer!

then he had a game planned for the rest of our night

{Deal or No Deal}

He made 3 little paper briefcases

and the first game was for where we were

going for dinner

he had gone to the bank 

and gotten a $1, $5, $20, $50, and $100 bill

and i had to choose one 

{without looking}

and thats how much we would spend

i picked the $1. 

but we still went out to a nice restaurant!

Next round was for where we were going to go shopping

i picked Kohls first off.

and said Deal.

{especially because we had $10 off}

And finally the last round 

was for what i was going to get

i picked shoes

{but just got some for my bday}

no deal.

then perfume.

that was a hard decision.

i am running low.

but this was my last round

and i wanted to go all out.

no deal.

last was a PILLOW!

deal

i was so glad.

i have wanted to get a nice

expensive, high quality pillow for a while

{we spend half our life sleeping,

might as well make it worth it}

After shopping we came home and went to bed!

the next day

we went and moved my 80 year old grandma

into her new home!

then went out to dinner with Spencer's family

and then drove to Pocatello 

to hang out with my family!

My mom has been gone for 2 months

so it was soooo nice to finally get to 

hang out with her!

i just LOVE her!

My gifts were:

a love letter,

new beige high heels,

a fixed dryer,

1 hour full body massage,
a really nice pillow,

and a brand new 27" iMac and printer

what a good birthday!

ALL thanks to my amazing hubby.

he is so thoughtful, and spoils me to death!

i love him with ALLLL my heart!

I'm one lucky girl

11.11.11

TO ME!!!!

this is quite the

.once.in.a.lifetime.

kind of day for me

NOT ONLY

is my birthday on

but i am turning 22

which is 2 11's 

And 2 times during my birthday can 

i say i was 22 on 11-11-11 at 11:11

i guarantee anything i wish

will come true.

its fate.

this is quite a big day! 

lots of decisions!

So i had to research long and hard

to try and find the earliest picture of me

because it seems appropriate since 

this day is commemorating my day of birth

22 years ago.

After weeks of research,

i found it!

And i wouldn't be here if it weren't for my parents!

So thank you for always putting us first:

You guys are the best! 

Spencer has some fun stuff planned for us today

i would tell you but...

then i'd have to kill you.

ok i lied.

i just don't know what we're doing

because he is surprising me!

he said he has to make up for celebrating 

2 birthdays because last year 

i was in the hospital 

because i had to get my appendix out!

I do wish someone would make this 

11 layer cake for me that looks so divine.

feel free it drop it off at my house anytime!

I guess i will share
so anyone who wants to make an
epic wish
here are the instructions:

♥ ♥ ♥

Broke & Ballin

So Spencer and I were having sunday dinner

on sunday

{obviously}

and i went to serve me up some goods

and when i went to put it on my plate,

my elbow hit my juice

and it spilled on my laptop

{dun,dun,dun}

supposed to be suspense noise

so i grab it and start blowing into the holes and 

the places you plug stuff into

and then tried to turn it on.

nothing.

gave it a few hours

and then plugged it in

hoping it was just dead

and it charged

so i tried to turn it on

nothing.

so the next day i bring it into expercom

{apple specialist in Logan}

and they said its done for.

i about cried

my laptop is still pretty new

got it 3 years ago

wah.

{a little background}

so last year spencer had this big weekend 

planned for my 21st birthday

but i ended up get really sick

and getting my appendix out

on my birthday..

sucky much?

So this year he said he has to go 

ALL out since i didn't really have 

a birthday celebration last year

well he had saved up some money

but then the juice incident happened

so we had to spend all the bday money

on getting a new computer

{plus his bday, plus our christmas and anniversary

presents for each other, plus my parents christmas 

gift to us}

and we got the real deal on tuesday

We got a 27" iMac.

{our TV is 32"}

this thing is MASSSIVE

plus a new printer/scanner

plus the trackpad instead of the mouse

plus adobe photoshop

and video editing system

plus microsoft office

yeah.

its a beautiful thing.

i can't get enough

{4 posts in one day}

can ya tell?

so we are pretty much broke

but we got a sick setup up in hurr.

i will probably 

{actually i know}

 I won't slack off anymore

because i get giddy playing on this beauty.

Nov 3, 2011

8 lbs, 21 inches

Cooper Clair Stucki
{the little stud}

was born!

He is the first grand baby in my Noorda fan

and oh boy, 

he is a cute little man!

It's kinda crazy how i have never even met him

but i love him already SOOO much!

it was so cool to have my first nephew

I would post pictures but my sister

is a lot more private

and i don't want to post without her permission!

so you may see pics soon, 

or you may not!

{the suspense}

Anyways, 

what a cool experience

oh and...

Sarah and the Baby are doing great!

♥ ♥ ♥

Halloweezy baby

Halloweekend

{Halloween + Weekend}

was just barely.

We didn't really feel like going to the Howl

or the Hamiltons party

so we stayed in and had friends over

We made treats and carved pumpkins

 {our creations}

 {Colby's}

 {Spencer's}

 {Mine and Katelynn's}

Below is us with our respected pumpkins

 {OWLING}

 {yes he did}
Yes it was LEGIT

Ended with Homemade apple pie!

Unfortunately i wasn't anything this year

{party pooper}

i know.

i just am not a huge fan of halloween

i had being scared

and everywhere you go

everyone always looks so slutty

or scary!

and I'm too old to trick or treat

boo...

{pun.... lame/ghost}

then on actual halloween i just stayed

home and answered the door for trick or treaters

first time i've ever done this

we had sooo many kids

and teenagers

{surprisingly}

kinda odd when your trick or treaters

look like they go to school with you.

there should be some sort of age limit

Hope everyone had a "wicked" time!

deacon

My awesome little brother Tommy

a.k.a T-Bone

turned 12 years old

about 2 weeks ago.

he is now official a deacon! 

proud of him

can't believe he is getting so old

bahh.

i don't feel like I'm getting any older

but everyone else around me is!

My mom has been out in Kentucky

with Sarah and Andy

and so she missed Tommy's birthday

So spencer and I and my dad and other brother

celebrated with the bday boy.

I woke him up with the smell of this delight

 thats the most delicious german pancake if you ask me

look at the height on that thing.

proud.

Then he opened his presents

He was supposed to give us a wish list 

and he never did

so he got $$$$

the jacket is from me and Spencer

and the hundy+20 is from parents

and the 20 is from my brother

look at the baller

{Fresh out of bed}

Then we got dressed

 and went to outer limits

{again haha}

and tommy got a TON of awesome prizes

we got 1800+ tickets altogether

{I won 1st place on the motorcycle

racing game so i got a free game}

and then went out for ice cream!

Then before we went home

we stopped by Gem State

{daddy's work}

and got HOOOKED up.

So we had some friends over last night

he pulls up this on the mac

and that was the end of us.

we were laughing so hard.

Stephen Colbert is the host of his own show

The Colbert Report

He brings random people on to chat

celebrities, or just randoms

{like these two on the episode}

I wish i was as witty as stephen colbert.

{birthday present maybe?}

and he doesnt even hestitate with any of his answers
