Love is... the red carpet

Before I begin, let me just wish my sexy, handsome, patient, athletic, talented, hard working, spiritual, patient, loving, quirky husband a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! He is the big 25!

Anyway, yes. It is true. I have yet, another academy awards post. Can I just tell you all that I LOVE them? I mean, I really love them. There is nothing better. Okay, that's not entirely true... but they are pretty awesome. Next year cute Kalie and I are hosting an Oscar party and you are all cordially invited. Anyway, are you ready for my best/worst dress recap?? Good. Me too.

Starting off with the worst dressed, my dear Maya Rudolph... really? I feel like she is wearing a purple sweater dress with random blinged out sleeves.

Melissa McCarthy. You are cute. Darling really. And freakin' hilarious. Even though she is a little bit more round in the middle, I feel like this dress didn't flatter her at all! Maybe it's the color...

Best Dressed

Seriously, let's talk about all the amazing ladies from "The Help". They STOLE the show. I felt like they were all brilliantly dressed.

Props to Viola Davis for going natural with her hair!

Octavia Spencer... one of my faves

Jessica Chastain - I LOVE it

Emma Stone - who, by the way, I believe stole the show. Her cute little monologue about how excited she was... too adorable. At first I wasn't a fan, but then my brother-in-law Jamo pointed out how lovely of a color she was wearing... and then it was just true love from then on.

I just LOVE me some Gweneth Paltrow. Her jewelry = AMAZING!

Micelle Williams, what a doll!

Penelope Cruz. Elegant as always.

Thanks for bearing with me through, yet another Oscar post. I hope you will all play along with me next year as I make my guesses. Hopefully I remember to post my list of predictions the night before. This year I got 8 right... not too good. I'll be getting my movie on this coming year and be better prepared.

Love is... Judes room!

I have been wanting to post a mini tour of our little home for a while now and I have decided that Judes room is the first to be displayed! I will admit, I am extremely proud of his room. We pulled in some favors and I literally spent all 9 months of my pregnancy searching on Etsy for cute things!

Represent! A Canadian moose from Uncle Jim and Aunt Nellie

My LP collection, finally on display like it deserves to be

Cute blanket thanks to Shauna's handiwork

My most favorite thing in the ENTIRE house - made possible by Tyler's Yesco connection and James and Whitney Fenn's good eye

Cute phone booth photo I found on Etsy - from England no less

Perfect vintage crib from Mike and Kris topped off with a darling striped blanket from Etsy

Love is... Rock out!

I just rocked OUT to Adele in my office, then I hippie swayed to Dave, and finally I tapped my feet to Riverdance. I love my varied music tastes and my caffeine consumption because who has two thumbs and just drank a deliciously hot beverage from Starbucks? This guy.
I won't tell you what it officially was though, so judge away you judgers!!

Love is... happy hearts day!

Happy hearts day (4 days ago)!! I know a lot of people claim to hate Valentines... I guess I am just not one of those cool people. I love LOVE! I love all holidays, especially Valentines day and this year was no exception. My day started out okay, but it was just one of those days where I was tired. Baby son had a hard night and Tyler and I agreed to just have a nice dinner at home so I really wasn't looking forward to anything. But... I got into work and...

SURPRISE!

A huge hearts day spread! What a guy!

You can't see them in these pics, but I also got a cuddly bear (passed on to the baby son of course) and some amazing V chocolate covered strawberries (passed on to no one but my belly). Thanks Ty!

I just loved all the love in the air and I went around the office taking pictures of everyone elses beautiful arrangements.

Tiffs blooms

Elainas blooms

Somehow I lost Karissas flowers but they were pretty!

I went over to my guy friend that I worked with and explained my situation of not having anything for Ty, since we had agreed not to buy anything and like an idiot I listed. We were debating on whether or not I should run to the mall and get Tyler something nice. One of the doctors (who shall remain nameless) shouted from his office "Don't spend any money". He came out of his office and explained that men would rather you not spend money. He said as long as I did something nice and not costly that I should be fine. The conversation ends as follows

L:Yeah Kat, just make him a nice dinner and that's all. He'll really appreciate it.

Dr: Well... that's not ALL.

L: What else is there?

Dr. Well, you know...

L: No... I don't know.

Kat: OKAY! Thanks guys. Nice dinner. No money. Got it.

Hahahaha I must have turned every shade of red imaginable! Thanks Dr. Blank for your advice.

Seriously though, dinner was nice and I loved the love of day! Here are some of my favorite Valentines this year.

Love is... the cougars are out!

One of the many perks of working for a doctor is that many times, they are faced with the difficult decision of what to do with their weekend. Do they go see Brian Reagan with the fam? Or go to the BYU v. St. Marys game. It was a tough choice indeed. He ended up choosing Brian Reagan, and I ended pocketing three 11th row tickets. I took Tyler and my dad and we had a BLAST! We lost, but it was still the most intense game I have ever been to! It was like the LA riots - mormon style. The better team won, but the refs were still the most ridiculous pieces of trash I've ever seen involved in any sport. Um, hi. BYU received five technical fouls in one game. Even the fans and coach Rose got technicals... it was that ridiculous. No matter what our players did, it was a foul. They brought out the police force early so there were no fights and at the end of the game, we booed the refs off the court. Even Tyler, my avid Ute fan, was cheering for the cougs and yelling at the refs. We all know that I get vocal and while I didn't re-enact last years Iggy's debacle, I did let them know that I was upset.

Just in case the 11th row wasn't close enough, John brought binoculars

He was actually kind enough to bring two pairs, just in case.

We loved the game and going to Provo is always awesome. I really miss my college days sometimes. I can't wait to go back to Provo again!

Love is... yummy in my tummy

These past few weeks we have reached a new stage in the little sons life... he has officially moved on to, rice cereal! I'm so excited!! Here are a few pictures of the first time.

Alright, alright... the first time trying it was not his best. But we've been feeding him it once a week and he loves it now.

Also, Tyler and I recently purchased plane tickets to... ENGLAND! We are leaving May 11th and we are excited. It has always been a goal of ours to go there and we can't believe we are so blessed to have the chance. That being said, I'm slightly nervous about flying 11 hours with Jude so if anyone out there has any tips for traveling with a babe, please pass them on.

Finally, here are a few more pictures we've recently taken of Jude.
