Good Stuff

I rarely bust out the camera these days, why would you when the phone is so handy and easy. Well it doesn't take the best pictures but still it is so convenient. Here are the random happenings of our lives. If you follow me on intagram @lacokland, then you have most likely seen most of these. 

Last weekend we wanted to try out our new pop up 

Jumpin Jack Trailer. 

So we headed down to Moab. 

Just the 3 of us. Here we are all packed up. 

You may notice Ralph thinks he's riding shotgun....no sir. 

Horrible picture but this is when the moon was really HUGE. Sorry you can't tell. 

It was so big that while we were camping and the moon came out, it seriously looked like someone turned on a dim light. 

THE most tired pooch ever after a hike to the watering hole.

He was so excited to be out running around. 

Driving! Pretty sunset. 

                            

I bought a new neon orange shirt. I was and still am pretty excited about it. 

I love watching my cute nephew Connlly while I work. 

He's such a good baby. Only two more weeks of the helmet. Yahoo!!

Horrible picture sorry. Ralph always has to back his royal toosh onto something, 

usually its me. 

I was in bed watching TV and this little miss Kitty just climbed 

right up on me and went to sleep. 

Seriously?!

Chris went to Vegas for my lil brother's bachelor party and while I was doing the laundry

I found this lovely shirt. 

Every had the organic individual hummus packs from costco? 

Get there, they are awesome. 

I was having kind of a rough day this day and Ralph new I was sad so he 

got right in my face and licked the end of my nose. Thank you Ralphy Boy!

Met some good friends Jennie and Jenny at Rio for a delicious lunch. 

We went to jr. high and high school together. 

I never really see either of them so it was good to catch up. 

The other day I looked outside and my mom's dog had made himself at home

ON TOP OF MY TABLE! Goofball. 

Pups and I sleeping in on our backs.

Went to a shower for my nephew's wife who just had a baby. 

I took this picture of my sis in law and put it on instagram.

It backfired because everyone thought i was say she was bored but really

I was just embarrassing her with a lovely pic. 

We had a bachelorette party for tiff at Cafe Molisse . Delicious. 

We are goofing around trying to get rid of our double chins for the picture. 

Sisters. We are just missing Susan who was in Africa. 

My sister noelle. Love her. We get crazy and laugh a lot when we are together. 

Sorry that was random and weird but I just wanted to get some of those pics on here. 

Hope you have a great weekend. 

We had friends in town this last weekend (Pictures will be here shortly, as soon as someone emails them to me. My camera had no sim card dag nabbit). ANYWAY, they showed us this video and I can not stop laughing, quoting, and watching it. Yes, I quote the dog. Enjoy! 

My favorite part "covered it in what"

LASIK!!

Very grainy and not very flattering picture, but the reason...AMAZING! I got LASIK friends and it has been so amazing. I am so happy to be done with the itching, the scratching, and the grainy feelings in my sockets! OH how great to wake up and go, to not be wishing i could tear my eyes out at a late nite movie. I.N.C.R.E.D.I.B.L.E. I got mine done at HOOPES and had a great experience. My eyes did get a little dry one night and I actually felt my little flap rip open a bit...it hurt like you know what. But after a few extra weeks of extra drops, these suckers are seeing 20/20 and i could not be happier about it. I am so excited to camp and waterski and such things without putting my dirty paws in my eyes. 

Note about the picture...i took this after Chris taped these lovely things on my face. He was talking and doing it at the same time when all of the sudden he spit all over my face, by the time i figured out what was going on, he was in a full blown laugh attack. VERY FUNNY CHRISTOPHER!!! then he says to me "have you looked at yourself in these"...another outburst of laughter. I took this picture to see what was so dang funny. I guess it is funny but really it was funnier watching him laugh at me. 

If you are thinking about LASIK, do it. But get a referral from a doc to save some $$

Fashion!

My mom sent my this video today and I love it. She and I both have a "unique" sense of style. That is to say, everyone thinks we are NUTS! I used to be nervous about what she would buy my for Christmas and now I am so excited to see what funky tights or socks or scarves are in my stocking. This video is how i would describe my mom and I. 

 I think my husband would agree with me that I am well on my way to becoming one of these old ladies. 

The other day we were sort of in a fight disagreement and I had to work. I went straight to my drawer and pulled out my orange, red, pink, and olive green patterned tights. It was my way of rebelling and saying, "I don't care what you like, I'm wearing them" Haha. Of course as soon as the tiff was over he said "what are you wearing" HAHA so typical. Needless to say I went to work in my funky tights. I can't wait to be a nutty old lady, I wear what I want now but when i'm older, no one can question it!! I love these women. 

Vegas! Vegas! Vegas!!

 I am not a gambler! I don't see the point or the appeal. I think it is a quick way to loose money fast. Since my few pennies are precious to me {say that in the Gollum voice if you like} I can't watch some fat-fingered-angry dealer take them from me, Yes they all have fat fingers. So why did I got to Vegas last weekend you ask? Well I got a phone call from my friend Allison last wednesday, it went like this.

"Um Lawrence ( that's me) what are you doing this weekend?'

"Um Hi Alice (that's her) nothing, why?"

" Want to go to Vegas and see Ke$ha...for free?"

"Whaaaa, really?'

"Ya, Alex bailed on me (her brother) and I have everything all paid for."

"Um, hell yes! let me see if Kleis ( my mom) can work for me."

a few phone calls to my mom and chris in between.

"Alice, I'm in!!!"

"Seriously?! Let me see if I can get the ticket in your name." Click

"Alice? Alice?"

A few minutes later.

"Lawrence I'm so excited I'm sweating!"

"Me too!!"

"Ok sweet!"

"Alice? Alice" Click again. We were both pretty excited, I'm not sure who hung up on who this time.

So we packed all the glitter we could and headed out with Allison's friends Chris and Lindsey Hatch. They are hilarious. Chris Hatch flies all the time and is so funny about it.. I quickly named him Clooney, from Up In The Air. Clooney stuck and by the end he was responding to it.

 We had so much fun. We got all freaked out for Ke$ha and people were just staring at us. Seriously we freaked people out. We weren't even wearing weird clothes just weird makeup. I refuse to believe that we were the biggest freaks in Vegas but people seemed to think we were.

Lindsey looked cute. this was her idea of getting Ke$ha'd out. Lame Lindsey. 

The BEST part was LMFAO. They put on such a good show. They are hilarious and they and their dancers were amazing. They had some guys from America's Best Dance Crew up there. 

Alice bought some glasses that did some pretty cool stuff. 

She tried to sneak a snickers while i wasn't looking. I called it "sneakin a snick" 

We laughed so hard at that one. 

This was a limo my friends not a semi. 

This is Holly Madison's porsche. Yep it's pink people. 

I tried to buy Ralph a good lookin tux but they didn't have his size. Bummer. 

Cupcake beenies I seriously wanted this one so bad. 

The maids at our hotel were awesome. This is what we found after breakfast one morning. Loved them!!

Vegas was a good time. We laughed so hard and did tons of shopping. I would much rather my money go to clothes than gambling. Don't worry though Alice managed to get in plenty of gambling. That is how she paid for the trip...gambling points. Gotta love it. 

Just for your enjoyment, we watched this video about a hundred times trying to learn the shuffle. These guys are hilarious!!

As you read in my last post...if you read my last post, we went to CANCUN!!! It was so dang fun. Chris and I met up with his friends (now my friends) Lauren and Aaron. They are so much fun. We have made  an annual trip with these two every september. Well starting last year but we plan to continue for a long time. We have such a good time with them. it is so funny that Lauren and I have the same name but she pronounces it Loren so I honestly don't even feel like we have the same name at all. It is so weird. Random thought there HA. We stayed at the LIVE AQUA and it did not disappoint. If you are going to Cancun, this is where you want to stay. Rooms great, food amazing, staff so nice, pool perfect. 

 Chris invested in an underwater camera. It was so fun. 

 Although its a little tricky to get everyone in the picture.

 When you stand back it looks like the pool melts into the ocean. It was so cool. 

 Those seagulls were on the edge of the pool. 

 This is another angle so you can see. 

 Aw so cute

 Aaron and Lauren

 Smallest McDonalds ever.

 My favorite waiter worked her. He was so cute and tiny. Alfredo, I wanted to put him in my pocket and bring him home. 

 Again from my last post, this is the Sea Bass I talked about. AMAZING. 

 I think this was a Beef Tenderloin that Chris got, it made me rethink my feelings about red meat. 

 Aaron's twin Jeff and his girlfriend Mollie had a wedding down there so they came to our hotel one day to hang out. Chris went to school with Jeff and that is how he met Aaron, just in case you were wondering. 

L: Aaron R: Jeff

 My new bestie. Love her. She is so sweet. 

 These boys are so dang funny together. 

 I can't believe that he went under with those glasses, those things are his pride and joy. 

 Shockingly enough Chris got fried. Poor guy. 

Cancun was so much fun and such a good send off to the summer. It was so nice to come home and have to wear a little sweatshirt at night. I love this time of year. I also LOVE Cancun!
