0 ke$ha got it right

something 'bout boots & boys . . . especially boots! these are my lovely new black leather booties from shoemint! this is my second pair from their website & i have to admit i'm pretty happy with both of them. of course i can only afford them on sale - but i'm a poor graduate student, it's expected.

*i'm sure this goes without saying but this is not a sponsored post, i just really like their shoes!

they're a match made in heaven for my leather pants . . wow ashley, you really need to clean your mirrors!

i love the zipper detail & the 4 1/2" heels! i dare you to wear them & not feel sexy!

0 wine & games with friends

these are essential & need to be enjoyed much more often than they currently are at our house. our dearest of friends, sarah, camilla, amanda & scot joined us in a night of imbibing & laughing to our hearts content. we {ivan & i} probably shared too much about ourselves {when do i not? i have that tendency - it's probably why i was attracted to blogging - "hey world i don't have enough people around me to whom i can tell my every thought . . . i know i'll share them with everyone!"}. in a word it was fantastic & i can't wait for it to happen again. happy monday everyone! i hope you had as lovely a weekend as i did! i have a  four day weekend & i am excited as hell! see you soon! {this blog is turning into a "what i've done over the weekend" thing - we'll see if i can be a little more consistent with the other posts . . . }

remember me? 

our lovely amanda & sarah!

this lovely girl brought us back guava jam {looooove this stuff} from barbados! thanks camilla!

the game for the evening - so much fun!

ivan was really happy when scot showed up & he wasn't weighed down with the responsibility of representing all "mandom"

favorite pic of the evening!

sarah & i were twinsie winners!

0 in the land of snow & dinosaurs

so of course life has been crazy & that's why i've been slightly absent on the interwebs. but i got to see my family last weekend! yay! {you now know that an onslaught of pictures will inevitably follow}. we went to a baby blessing in vernal, i.e. bfe with dinosaurs. i have to admit it was fun to see the t-rex dressed up as cupid & the giant pink dinosaur with even more giant eyelashes {just a little bit of jealousy over those}. it was great to see some of the family & of course the new little one with his electric hair {you couldn't help but run your fingers through it}. my brother alex treated everyone to potato dumpling soup {he's becoming quite the chef that one} & then we went home - how i love my family & wish that i got to see them more often - it's a whole lotta crazy when we all get together! i love it!

"rawr!"

aw my dad & his camera

you know you want to touch his hair!

why hello chris!

it's strange to think of my dad as a grandpa {especially since i'm not even a parent yet}, but here he is with his granddaughter audrie

i love how chris keeps "popping out" everywhere!

travis was so excited to have carter hold his hand!

soup time with jonathan & matthew

the happy parents

thanks for taking the picture ivan, i can't wait to see everyone again!
