love. it.

What a beautiful weekend and week. Loved it! Started off the Eve of the weekend by riding an Elephant. Yes, an Elephant. The big gray, wrinkley, smelly, pokey-haired giants that I am obsessed with. I even got Oakly to ride with me, that was a feat in and of itself! Our Elephants name was Carole. She was great. :)

Here we are just getting to know Carole. 

Here we are plotting against the man with the stick to run away with Carole. 

Food for thought: Who in the world would even think up something like the circus? "Oh hey by the way I think it would be cool if we get all sorts of wild and dangerous animals together, train them and have people ride on them WHILE we have women hanging from the 50 foot ceiling with a sash by their ankles, and have men balance flaming swords on top of swords that they are holding onto with their teeth." Just sayin'.

Also, Oakly found out why I call him Grizz.

I do so love my Grizzly Bear. 

So, moving on... Oakly had to work a Rodeo on Saturday night. Thus, GIRLS NIGHT!!! I've been needing a girls night for sometime now, just a night to act like a complete child with... children and of course Jen, whom I consider still very in touch with her inner child. They came over and we first started out with some pumpin' music and dance moves, followed by a salon of hair by Tiana and nails by Jen. Then we got out the dress-ups and make-shift red carpet... Boo... Yah.

In preparation. Don't judge, just love the dress ups. Yes, all of them are mine. Don't worry about it. 

Ultimate 80's. 

The lovely ladies on the red carpet!

Well the night went on and it was beautiful. Girls night any one??

Oakly and I believe is fantastic breakfasts on the weekend. It is my number one favorite meal of the day. One huge delicious breakfast will keep my stomach happy for the rest of the day. Since we are normally insanely busy on the weekends thats usually the only meal we do get. Sooo we make it an incredible one! 

See?

On Sunday I was able to meet up with all my beautiful friends that I've missed so much at my amazing friends Laurie's farewell.. She did an amazing job giving her talk. The walls shook with her testimony, I'm so excited for her. She is going to be amazing and will teach so many wonderful people in Italy. 

shout out to you my lovely Sister Simkins!!

It has been a great week, I'm now set up to work from home and enjoyed my first day on the job in the presence of my living room, kettle corn, and the social network... that I've restarted 484165 times and still have yet to finish. 

Love it. Love you. Happy wednesday!
