TGIF + An Entertaining Picture

First of all, here's my choice for #backthatazzup today! 

Too Damn Young by Luke Bryan on Grooveshark

I know y'all are probably sick of hearing about my obsession with Luke Bryan but I seriously can't get enough. 
Plus, I'm pretty sure he makes every girl want to back that azz up! ha




Second, wanna know the best feeling ever?
When you buy tickets to a concert the day they go on sale for almost $50 because last year they sold out really fast, then a week later you see a groupon for the same tickets for $16.
#fml

Third, Darren & I got to go to a sneak preview showing of, "This Is The End" on Monday night. IT WAS FREAKING HILARIOUS. 
Please, if you want to laugh, do yourself a favor & go see it this weekend!!




Anddd finally, because it's Friday & y'all deserve a good laugh to start your weekend off right, here's one of my baby pictures...

Darren & my mom came up with a caption for this picture:

"Who ate the last cupcake?? I DID!"



I was definitely a chunky monkey! ha


Happy Friday y'all :)

My Twin + A Watermelon Margarita Recipe

Happy hump day y'all! :)
Yesterday, my friend, Courtney tagged me in a post & challenged me to answer six questions.
Here we goooo!

1. Who is your celebrity lookalike?

My celeb lookalike (or so I've been told repeatedly) is Katherine Heigl!



I swear, when I used to bartend I would get told MINIMUM once a week that I look like her! ha
I consider this a major compliment by the way ;)
I think I look most like her when I have blonde hair & I'm not wearing eye liner, but I couldn't find a picture like that so this will have to do!
Do y'all think I look like her?

2. Best place you've ever visited?

Hmm.. I'd say it's a tie between Cozumel & Vegas!
We were only in Cozumel for one day because it was just one stop on our cruise, but it was GORGEOUS!



& I'm completely OBSESSED with Vegas. I swear I'd go every chance I got if I could! 
I mean, where else can you choke out Jason with your best friend one minute & run into two UFC refs in an elevator the next?!

sidenote - look how long my hair was! #longhairdontcare

Anddd where else can you hold a giant lizard on the side of the street & then walk another five feet & hold the worlds smallest [and cutest] monkey?!

#takemeback



3. What is your favorite summer drink?

Watermelon Margaritas fo' sho!
Y'all have already heard me talk about them a few times & summer has barely begun.
Pappasitos makes the best ones & since I used to work there, I know how they make them...
I thought I'd share that fabulous recipe with y'all:

+6 chunks of watermelon (about 1" around)
+1.5 oz of Milagro tequila (or if you're like me, add a little bit more)
+3/4 oz of Cointreau
+1 oz watermelon pucker
+4 oz sweet n sour (I honestly don't know the exact measurements for their sweet & sour, so you can either use store-bought or if you're looking for a more low-cal option, you can use straight lime juice)

-Muddle your watermelon chunks in a glass until they're all mashed up & most of the juice is out.
-Fill your glass with ice.
-Add your tequila, triple sec, pucker & sweet n sour.
-Shake really good, strain, pour & enjoy!
& if you're feeling really fancy, you can garnish it with a slice of watermelon!



4. If you could have lunch with anyone {living or dead}, who would it be?

Tom DeLonge.



Don't know who he is? We can't be friends anymore. Jk!
I know my girl Kelly knows!!! ;)
But really, he's a singer in Blink-182, Boxcar Racer & Angels & Airwaves.
I've had a thing for him since like 7th grade & he's #1 on my list of people to meet.
Luke Bryan comes in at a close second ;)



5. What is your biggest pet peeve?

When people don't use the correct version of your/you're.
If you're in need of a grammar lesson, email me & I'll be glad to help.
There's a difference between your & you're people, LEARN IT!


6. What is the most-played song on your iPod?

Hmm.. at the moment, it's probably a three-way tie between:





Those were some really good questions! 
Thanks Courtney! :)

I'm tagging Brooke, Candice & Alex!

Here are your questions:
 (and yes, I stole some of them from Courtney!)

Who is your celebrity lookalike?
If you could have lunch with anyone (alive or dead), who would it be?
What is the most-played song on your iPod?
What is the best book you've ever read?
If you could go on a blate (blogger date) with anyone, who would you choose?
If you could only choose one & had to delete the other, which would you keep: Twitter or Instagram?

PS-Wrinkles says hi! (very willingly I might add)

Can You Guess The Drawing?

Happy Monday y'all!
Just because today is Monday doesn't mean it shouldn't be happy! ha

Friday I went to lunch with one of my best friends, Chloe. I hadn't seen her in forever & it was great to catch up. (& enjoy some chips & queso & a watermelon margarita... or two). Later that night, Darren & I went to see "The Purge" with my mom. I loved it. It was just a little predictable, but Darren said it was only predictable because we see so many dang movies, ha. So for those of you who don't go to the movies every other day, you shouldn't find it so predictable! lol



On Friday, I also got the sweetest note from Courtney!! I LOVE HAPPY MAIL! :)




Saturday we laid in bed. All afternoon. Talk about lazy! ha. Saturday night we went over to our friends Shelby & Dustin's place for a game/pizza/drink night. We had a BLAST! We played apples to apples, phase 10 & pictionary. Now, let me just tell you: I ROCK AT PICTIONARY! I don't, however, rock at apples to apples or phase 10 but whatevz.


**The first person to correctly identify what that drawing is first gets a prize!! Obviously I have mad drawing skills.**

Sunday we slept in & then cleaned the house. We had to be home because the DIRECTV guy was supposed to come between 12 & 4. He showed up at 3:30... of course. & he was here til after 7! Let's hope this service is good... We loved U-verse & wanted to keep it, but when we moved they told us AT&T U-verse isn't available at our new place :( We ended the night with pizza & watched the Spurs game! 

Andddd because no post is complete without a picture of Wrinkles...





You're welcome ;)

PS- I'm sending out THREE pieces of happy mail today!
They're all packed up & ready to go.
Can't wait to brighten some peoples days!

How was your weekend?!

Ten Facts About Me, According to Darren!

Yesterday, my bloggy friend Allison did a post where she had her husband write ten random facts about her. I loved it & thought it was a great idea so I stole it! Thanks Allison! :)



Darren has literally been dying for a chance to get on my blog so he finally gets a chance. Although, if he had it his way he would probably talk about tennis, UFC, math or aliens. Haha. Maybe next time babe! ;)

He sat on the opposite side of the room from me & wouldn't let me see these til he was done. He actually came up with some good ones! & you get to see his personality come through, ha!



**I didn't alter anything he said, but I did put my opinions in here & they're in blue! This is all him from here on out!**

Kind
Respectful
Intelligent
Sweet
Thoughtful
Elegant
N’ always in my heart
^^I didn't even ask him to do that! He did it all on his own, he's so cute.


10 Facts about Kree that I know, some know, and now most will know
Sidenote: he calls me Kree ALL the time. I have no idea where it came from, ha.


1.)   Literally, the fastest learner I’ve ever seen. (Taught her how to box, within 2 minutes she gave me a bloody fat lip. Taught her some Advanced Algebra, she no longer needed my help…ever!)
The busted lip was totally an accident, but I do like to tell people I beat him up ;)

2.)   When it comes to babies, she will say “That’s the cutest baby I’ve ever seen” EVERY TIME!
This is SO true. I literally say that every baby is the cutest baby I've ever seen.

3.)   Definitely a Coke person, not a Pepsi. If anyone asked her “If there’s only one drink you can drink for the rest of your life. What would it be?” The clear answer is COKE!
Actually, I like both. But I guess if I REALLY had to choose, I would choose coke.

4.)   Kristen is the type of person where when it comes to friendship, you’re going to want it. No matter what the holiday you’re celebrating, you will get 10 different gifts (all great). Five will probably be five that you want, and the other five will be random awesome gifts that you don’t realize you want until it’s right in front of you (candy).
I do give really good gifts if I do say so myself ;)

5.)   The amount of attention and love she shows me and our son (Senor Wrinkles),  is only a fraction of what I can expect when our son/daughter comes into our lives (not now, when we are both ready). She will be the best mother in the world.
Awww. Melts my heart :)

6.)   Her love for country music took over four years to finally get me to say that it’s “good”.
He literally would NOT let me listen to country when we were in the car together up until about 6 months ago. Now he knows a ton of country songs!! 

7.)   Kristen can actually sing really really good! But she will deny it, and will never sing for anyone but me…(unless there’s karaoke going on somewhere).
No comment.

8.)   For someone so small…she hits really hard, and is surprisingly very fast.
True. Don't mess with me. Haha jk

9.)   Has a HUGE PROBLEM with watching the Bachelor/ Bachelorette (I can’t believe that’s a show and how many people watch that. AND that host gets paid way too much!)
He seriously HATES the Bachelor & Bachelorette! Every time I watch it he has to comment on EVERYTHING. But I love it & watch it anyway, ha.

10.) Her love for blogging made me love her more. I love how she documents all of
       the events and great times we have had since she started it up. 
:)

So that's me, according to Darren! Did you learn anything new?!

June Goals!

I don't know if I've told y'all this or not, but....
I'm a list maker.
Meaning I make a list for absolutely everything. 
I LOVE crossing things off, it makes me feel so accomplished.
Plus, if I don't write it down, it's most likely not gonna get done. Sad, I know.

An example of my obsession with lists:

**It helps if you write your lists in pretty colors. Proven fact.**


Anyways, on to the point of this post.
I made a list of a few ton of goals I want to accomplish this month.

Nevermind, keep your opinions to yourselves. 

What are some of your goals this month?!

Weekend Update + The Cutest Koozie You Ever Did See!

Well hey there! 

Is it really Monday again? I miss the weekend already. It was so stinkin' hot this weekend & it's only gonna get hotter. Oh the joys of Texas! ha

Friday I checked the mail & got the cutest little koozie in the world! (via) I had to put it to good use so we went to a bar called Bareback's with Darren's best friend, Matt & Matt's mom & stepdad came too. Oh em gee y'all. Matt's mom is the funnest person to be around, she's hilarious! We, well really everyone but me, had crawfish. We all drank way too many beers & played cornhole! It was so much fun. We decided it needs to be a routine Friday night thing!


Saturday morning Wrinkles insisted on sending a picture to Axel for his birthday... haha ;). Then Darren & I went shopping for my little sister's birthday presents. (She turns 14 today!) After shopping we went to see, Now You See Me. I FREAKING LOVED IT! No joke, that movie was the shiz. After that we headed home, watched some HGTV & I made some BBQ sliders & mac n cheese for dinner. Yum! Oh, and I bought tickets to A Day in the Country to see Eli Young Band, Lee Brice & Easton Corbin + more!! :)


Sunday was a really chill day. I literally didn't even put on make-up all day. Ew, I know. Hence the edited picture below ha! We took Wrinky on a walk up to our neighborhood park & he had SO MUCH FUN! He got to go down a slide for the first time & swing for the first time. For the record, he loves sitting in the swing, NOT swinging in the swing! Lesson learned!


PS- My mom is officially convinced Darren & I are both completely crazy because of the things we do with Wrinkles. This is the text I got last night after she saw the picture of Wrinkles in a swing on Instagram:



Do y'all think we're crazy?

How was your weekend?!
