Late Birthday Post

April 30th was Birthday..I turned 23 and I now understand why all these years, older people would say I hate getting older! Well i do too! Despite the getting older part my birthday was awesome! On my actual birthday I took the day off, Nolan had flowers delivered to my door in the morning...(this is a tradition he started way back when we were dating) SO CUTE! Than we went and got a couples massage and hung out. For dinner we went to Tepanyaki it is one of my absolute favorites! It was an awesome day. On sunday we celebrated it with my family. My mom made a FABULOUS meal. She made CAFE RIO SWEET PORK SALADS!! SHe even had to start the night before it was a BIG process and a lot of hard work! AND OOo it was SOO good it tasted so much like the real thing! THANKS MOM!! We opened presents and had a pinata!! It was a blast! 6 young adults at a pinata watch out! Thanks family for a nice birthday!

Birthday girl with the hot hubby!

Savvy playing in the wrapping paper!

New skirt!

Ok this is hilarious! None of us wanted to wear a thing around our eyes so this is how we got dizzy!! Nolan of course knocked the pinata out of the park on his first try! There was candy, toys, and money in it!!

A little catch up...

Two weekends ago we went to the MOTOCROSS!! Nolan LOVES motorcycles and has been riding since he was just tiny! He really wanted to go and I wasn't the most thrilled. To my surprise and Nolan's great excitement...I LOVED IT!! It was really really fun! I love to watch Nolan get excited about the things he loves. Thanks babe for expanding my horizons! It was fun!

You have to be "hard core" when you go to these things!

The starting line

The cool smoke ring!

The track

It did get pretty cold that night!

WHY do I like this so much?

Ramen Noodles....one of my favorite things unfortunately. Forget the candybars, cookies, or treats, this is my guilty pleasure. This stuff is chuck full of sodium and has quite a few calories, and pretty much has no nutritional value whatsoever. WHY DO I HAVE TO LIKE IT SO MUCH? Chicken, Oriental, and Beef are the flavors I love. I am very picky on how I prepare it, the noodles have to be cooked so they are still firm, and has to have just the right amount of broth. Mmmm... So I decided the next time I have the flu I am going to eat ramen and hopefully throw it up that way I won't like it anymore! I am proud to say we have only had this for dinner once in our entire married life and it was this week! Well it looks like I will have to just try and eat it SPARINGLY because it's in the sugar, oils, and fats area of MY FOOD GUIDE PYRAMID. I would give up chocolate any day for this! I consider it my treat. I am pathetic!

We're adding one more!!!

Adding another BLOG :)
Check out my bow website!! It's definitely a work in progress but I just wanted to give an idea of the many bows I make! I love this hobby and hopefully one day I won't have to borrow any little models and I can have a little one of my own! After aquiring this hobby I better atleast have ONE girl to wear all my bows. Every once in awhile I will make one and say to myself (TOO CUTE, I can't give it away!) so I keep them in my own private stash! Hope you enjoy! http://www.boppyboutique.blogspot.com/

Some good hard labor!

This Saturday Nolan and I participated in Habitat for Humanity! One of Nolan's classes split into groups and had to organize a charity event, and this what they did. I decided I would go support my husbands event..cause I mean, really how hard can reconstruction be??? HA! This was some serious work, but it was a blast to be doing it together and to show off my never before seen skills to my sweet hubby! We had to tear down a ceiling in an old, OLD house. You get up on a ladder and start hammering the heck out of it until the ceiling falls on top of you! There was DUST, DIRT, SAW DUST flying everywhere! We couldn't see or breathe! We had to wear masks, goggles, and hard hats!! Me being EXTREMELY CLAUSTROPHOBIC had a very hard time with this, I kept ripping off my mask so I could breathe and then I would choke from the dust! IT WAS SOME GOOD TIMES!!

This is Nolan before!

This is Janica before. Actually using hand sanitizer to sanitize the "nasty, used" hard hat! Nolan was laughing at me so hard! (ok I do have a little "princess" in me!) but it was gross!

The whole group

It was so dirty in there! Everyone looked like this it was so funny! We had to wear goggles, masks, and hard hats!

The workin women!

MMM...dirty kisses!

This is what it looked like inside! It was crazy!!! Afterwards, Nolan said he was SOOO proud of me! And he loved watching me work like this because it was so out of my element. He is really funny that way; he likes to teach me how to do things i.e. (shooting, guns, motorcycles, 4-wheelers, construction) and then he loves to watch me do it and help me along! It is really cute! I am usually reluctant at first but I do it because he loves these things!

My man heart is torn......

First let me say that I have the best wife in the entire world. If you have any doubt of that read the post previous to my upcoming rant! She is so supportive of me and tends to give me far more credit than I deserve. Thanks for the "Puff my chest up" post Sweetheart! Now for most of the readers of our blog you might not be interested in what I am going to say, but for the occasional husband who finds himself blog surfing you will understand my lingo! First things first I am the biggest Broncos fan there is and I dare somebody to challenge that! Next I have been sitting on needles this off season since watching the great NFL coach Mike Shanahan get eh can. That alone broke my heart, but I took comfort in the fact that we had stellar offense led by one of the top QB's (Jay Cutler) playing. I have been questioning the new coaching decision, but had decided to get on board with hope! Over the past 5 weeks though I have been on the edge of my seat as my Denver Broncos have been trying to patch things up with Cutler, after trying to trade him. Well as of yesterday Jay Cutler is no longer a Denver Bronco. This in my mind is a mistake of ultimate proportions. He is now a Chicago Bear where he will have the success he would have enjoyed in Denver. I will not get into the ins and outs of my opinion and why this is such a mistake, but I will say that now more than ever I am questioning the new Head Coach Josh McDaniels. I voiced my opinions on the radio yesterday I felt very proud of myself, maybe you were listening! Anyways I wish Jay the best of luck in Chicago, and I will miss his gunslinger attributes. I am a Bronco and always will be a Bronco even if that means I am a fan of a team that is being coached by a person who has orchestrated one of the biggest trade blunders in history. Needless to say Coach McDaniels had better find a good QB to fill those shoes, and he had better win some games!!!!!! Go Orange Crush!
