If I weighed 300 lbs..

Then "Big girl, you are beautiful" would be my theme song. 

I LOVE THIS SONG. Was introduced to it last year and I kind of forgot about it, until this morning I woke up with it stuck in my head. What the heck? Don't know where it came from, but then I realized, I must buy this song. A stroke of luck I like to think. So I've probably listened to it 7 times today and it just gets better each time. So fun. Will be a great addition to my running play list! It's kind of a really dumb song, but that's not important. It's got some sentimental value to me along with a killer tune so it's a winner to me. I've got to delete itunes before I spend all my money buying songs. Seriously, it is a weakness :) 

Guess who had a birthday 2 weeks ago? Yep, my sweet mom. I love this picture of her.

 Guess who had a birthday a week and a half ago? Yep, my sweet friend Lisa Wall!

And guess who had a birthday 4 days ago?

 What a great stretch of birthday celebrations. I probably had one of my favorite birthdays ever! Everyone came to town to celebrate and I felt so special :) Jan and Judson and the kiddos came which is always a party, and Taylor also came, even though he was sick all weekend. He made such a big deal about it being my birthday, which of course I loved. Juline was even in town and we went to our friend Holly Fillmore's baby shower, who is the cutest pregnant girl ever, fyi. My birthday was Sunday, so we just watched conference, relaxed, and of course ate delicious food. Crunchy french toast, roast, rolls, and what's a birthday without a birthday cake? 

Judson was the genius behind this beaut. The difference between most of his cakes and this cake was that this one was not only edible, but also delish. Even more delish the 2nd day in fact.

Other scenes from the weekend: 

My mother thought it would be hilarious to buy wax lips and make me wear them. She just sprung it on me while I was opening presents. You can't tell, but I am smiling huge behind those wax lips. They tasted disgusting. And in this next picture you will see that even those gigantic lips can't cover my own gigantic bottom lip. 

Impressive right? They didn't call me voluptuous in high school for nothing. And I don't resemble Brandy just because of the color of our skin.. 

Brill, OR Jandy. Take your pick. I actually don't see it THAT much, but one time Judson changed my profile picture to Brandy as my celebrity look-a-like, and I got so many comments. True comments that can be found on facebook: "Jill, I really thought you painted yourself black when I first saw this," or "Jill, this really does look just like you!" "You're black?" "You are the white Brandy. Or she could possibly be the black Jill" Hahaha. I am also often called Scarlett because people tell me I look like Scarlett Johansson. Honestly, I see more resemblance between Brandy and I, but I won't complain about being compared to Scarlett.

BUT, I digress. Basically it was a rad birthday. Next week we head to Cedar City for Les Miserables, canyoneering, and good company. Can't wait for more fun to come!
