This recently paroled Barbie comes with a 9mm handgun, a Ray Lewis knife, and a Chevy with dark tinted windows. This model is only available after dark and must be paid for in cash (preferably small, untraceable bils) unless you are a cop, then we don't know what you are talking about.
*East Bench Barbie*
This yuppie Barbie comes with your choice of BMW convertible or Hummer H2. Included are her own starbucks cup, credit card and country club membership. Also available for this set are Shallow Ken and Private School Skipper. You won't be able to afford any of them.
*Riverton Barbie*
This pale model comes dressed in her own Wrangler jeans two sizes too small, a NASCAR t-shirt and tweety bird tattoo on her shoulder. She has a six-pack and a Hank Williams Jr. CD set. Purchase her pickup truck separately and get a confederate flag bumper sticker absolutely free.
*Emigration Canyon Barbie*
This collagen injected, rhino plastic Barbie wears a leopard print outfit and drinks cosmopolitans while entertaining friends. Percocet prescriptions available as well as newly built high rise condos.
*Tooele Barbie*
This brassy-haired Barbie has a pair of her own high-heeled sandals with one broken heel from the time she chased beer-gutted Ken out of Butler Barbie's house. Her ensemble includes low-rise acid-washed jeans, fake fingernails, and a see-through halter-top. Also available with a mobile home.
*The Avenues Barbie*
This doll is made of actual tofu. She has long straight brown hair, arch-less feet, hairy armpits, no makeup and Birkenstocks with white socks. She prefers that you call her Willow. She does not want or need a Ken doll, but if you purchase two Avenues Barbies and the optional Subaru wagon, you get a rainbow flag bumper sticker for free.
*West Valley Barbie*
This Barbie now comes with a stroller and 2 infant dolls. Optional accessories include a GED and bus pass. White boy Gangsta Ken and his 1979 Caddy were available, but are now very difficult to find since the addition of the infant.
*Provo Barbie*
She's perfect in every way. We don't know where Ken is because he's always at church meetings.
Just as a little side note---A few weeks ago I was helping a cute little two-year-old boy named Lennon, and his mom at Primary's. I didn't notice but Lennon had dropped his toy and started screaming and crying his head off. His mom finished signing something and reached over to get it and it was an Edward doll. She just said he really loves the Edward doll and wonders if it's a sign of things to come.
It was really REALLY funny.
I hope this made you smile :)

Ok so this is the entire reason (ok, not entire but a huge part of) why I went with Elton Photography. When I was looking for photographer I saw this pictures and I LOVED it. I'm not sure why, must be my love for sweet trees or something. Just know I'm blowing this picture up and it's going in my living room.
I don't know what was so funny. But Eric looks so cute in this one :)
Doesn't he look like a giant in this one? I like it.
Here's everyone that stayed for pictures. I love these people!
The Daniels' side of the family. And no my sister is not older than me, but she is taller.
The Taylor's. Everyone is so photogenic!
This is my bf Natalie. She seriously saved me that day. Around ten thirty the night before I realized I didn't have any flowers for the temple (DUH Jocelyn, DUH) so I called Nat and she said not to worry about it, she'd take care of it. Where did she get these? I have no idea, but I was so happy to have some for pictures after the temple. Top Notch Nat!
Here comes some more collages, hope you don't mind, I just can't help myself. Here are some little details from the reception. My flower lady was the best, she did a super great job. Short story---well two--- First, when my mother-in-law Liz and I went to the flower lady's house I was IN LOVE with her decor. She had a chair just like this and a succulent window box like this...I knew she was fabulous. I am obsessed with zebra print- no idea why.
Anyway, second- she called me one day, about a month and a half after we had placed the order for the flowers and she was panicked. She told me that the berries I wanted as a part of the centerpieces were not going to make it from South America because they were having a rough season and suggested some grasses from Georgia. I bit my tongue really hard trying not to laugh. Maybe she thought I was a bridezilla or something but I really didn't care. I had no idea she was getting the flowers from other countries. It was so nice that she was really concerned about what I wanted for the wedding. I don't know, it just made me giggle. :) Nice lady.
The cake turned out well. I imagined the apples on the bottom a little differently but it still looks great :) A little side note--does anyone need a 'T' cake topper? I have no idea what to do with it.
Cutting the cake. Eric and I had previously discussed not shoving the cake in each other's faces. Well...when the moment presented it's self, I took it. I didn't really shove it ALL over, just kind of on the side. He was a little miffed :)
Here are some VERY cute kids at the reception. They all should most definitely go into modeling.
Well there were a TON of pictures and I didn't really know what else to do with them and didn't want to bore you with talking about all of them so they are on a slide show *sorry for the dumb ads :) So feel free to turn on some tunes {I'd suggest this or a little of this} and enjoy!

{Juan Mayer & Shoes}
To start out the night, Eric and I went to Jimmy John's for some dinner. I love this place---it' SO good. >>Just a side note, there is a JJ really close to our house, but they only deliver to 1st Avenue! We live on 6th Ave, bummer. It's probably a good thing though, otherwise I'm sure we'd be eating it like twice a week or more.
(I'm so proud of myself for figuring out how to make these little collage thingies. I probably will overuse them for a while, but they're just so cool)
The concert was at Usana. I told Eric I was going to blog about this (hence my picture taking, I'm just trying to get better) so he was doing some kind of 'model pose' in these pictures of us. I don't know what this weird smile is, but we probably took like 6 pictures of us and he did this little smirk in all of them. What a weirdo :)

Owl City was opening for Johnnie-Cakes Mayer and during their performance Eric and I were playing fashion police. *more on this in a bit
Then it was John. Ah! It was so fantastic! He is so great live and I really enjoyed his little conversation in between songs. He played Slow Dancing in a Burning Room, which is definitely one of my top five favorite songs and it was amazing. This is a break up song, and it was really funny watching people really 'slow dancing' to it.
He also played Heart of Life. Every time I hear this song it makes me tear up!
So...Fashion Police. During Owl City Eric and I were having a great time people-watching and 'Tim Gunn-ing' (aka 'commenting') on some weird clothing choices. *Side note>> E and I love to watch Project Runway, hence the Tim Gunn reference. It's a very addicting show, I'm sure there will be more post on it later>> When John Mayer came out, we just kept thinking WHAT IS HE WEARING?! He had some flood pants on and a weird wind-breaker jacket. One of those ones that you see in an LL Bean Catelog on some grey-haired man that likes to fish. Anyway...I'm SO happy he brought it up in between one of his songs. He says 'this is not the fashion of a guy in a relationship. Obviously I dressed myself and I have no taste.' It was a great intro to his song Perfectly Lonely, which is about being alone. :) And it definitely gave his outfit some justification.
Speaking of shoes......
AHH!!!!! Shape-ups shoes!! The past week at my yob I saw this lady who was wearing this great 'faux exercise' shoe....but took it to another level. She had on the shoe with some tights and a dress. Tennis shoes dress up--it was great. It really made me laugh :) I hope someday I see someone where these to work, or to church. It would really make my life.
AquaMan called...he wants his look back!
