Easter

I know I know it's Tuesday and I'm just now getting to post on Easter. So instead of telling the tale of how it went---which was GREAT & LOUD---I just want to share my small thought about what Easter meant to me. Family. It's all about family and I'm so grateful to have a small part of it. I have two older girl cousins above me and two younger below me that I'm really close too. With that, it puts me in the middle. And oh what a sweet middle it is.

My favorite moment from that day was when we all gathered in the dining room as my

Uncle led us into the blessing for our Easter dinner.

All heads were bowed and arms folded and I stole one small peek around the room.

It was endearing to my soul to know, that together, as a whole family, I will always be with them. To know that my grandparents in Heaven looking on of what the two of them created, will always be together brings such peace into my life. So Family. Easter. Thankful for all of the blessings of the Savior to make us a family, Family is what it's all about for me. Enjoy the pictures everyone! You may not know them but their mine and to me, that's all that matters.

That Easter Bunny is one Terrific fellow. I wonder if he has connections with cupid?

Me and my aunt "granny Carolyn" always make an Easter basket for Angelus. We might go a little overboard but i can totally do that because I'm the Auntie He-he!

For my momma number two, My aunt Carolyn I made her an Easter basket this year! With ER going off the air, We needed alittle ER therapy in our lives LOL So, I got her some favorite goodies, new hair picks and the first season of ER!

Auntie Carolyn "aka Easter bunny helper" did a sweet job. Easter Lille's are my favorite flower.{remember that if i eva do a quiz on how well you know me LOL}
She bought me a small matching basket to hers and filled it with a few favorite things. Sharpies, my favorite style of writing pens! People Style magazine--bless that woman--dove chocolate {that doesn't exist anymore LOL} and two Holiday stuffed animals picked out by me! {Also note that I collect small holiday stuffed animals, I'm such the girlie!}

These two our favorite things LOL all dressed up in Easter dresses! Your Never to old for that! NEVER!! Mine was a sweet deal from Old Navy sun dress for $19.99

Hailey Bay and me. The family firecracker and hands down favorite to everyone! Shes turning 16 soon and I just will not except this!

Tanner, Tanner, Tanner...*sighs* he can be the pain in the butt little cousin but can be such a sweet guy. I have entitled this pictures as "Ladies...how you doin?!?" as he interrupted the shot!

"What Up?" as tanner would say! Yeah...someone remind me to do a whole post on this guy?

This picture SAYS. IT. ALL. Do you have any sweet but yet so annoying little cousins who thinks and knows hes the stuff? I DO!

Hailey doing what she does best! Lighting up the room with that smile and laugh.

Sisters are a great thing. And they are beautiful!

As Tanner yells "take off your high heels Carrie!!!"

Tanner just turned 13. His voice is changing and he's taller then us all. And reminds us 24/7! He may be annoying and loud and the attitude is in a great need of a major underwear wedgee to his butt BUT he has the sweetest side. When my cousin Kelly arrived with her newly 3 week old, he went straight into Tanners arms and there it stayed. And he wouldn't let anyone take it!

This is my favorite photo from this weekend. I am 100% on time being to short and my aunt Carolyn is the oldest female in the family. The Matriarch. And so I always try and take pictures with her with everyone. Notice the Patrick Family big, brown oval eyes!

Cousins doing what they do best! Head for the video games! Take notice of Carries "big kid" fiance at the controls. LOL

Getting ready for the Easter Egg Hunt.

"Stop taking pictures" they yell LOL Angelus & Saylor are such the buddies! In my family from my grandmother, we hunt eggs with money into. Small change and dollar bills! This year Saylor found the big egg with $7.00 in it! We all donate and you get to hunt till age 10.

I wish i could talk to my grandparents and ask them to "reconsider" the age limit LOL

Saylor in her pretty pink dress! Notice the egg with stickers on it as the "BIG EGG"

I cannot say enough to you all to express how much this stunning young lady in navy blue is to us all! Her faith so surpasses mine and oh how better the world is to have her in!

Last though, My aunt Carolyn put a card with my Easter basket and I opened it later that night. I am so utterly grateful for her as my true best friend. Inside the message read,

"Happy Easter to a Wonderful Daughter

who shares laughter and love,

Who believes in her dreams,

and touches the world with her own special magic."

Still my soul. I love you Aunt Carolyn!

Hold Up..Wait ONE Minute!

Last week, I received a phone call from dear sweet Carrie. She began to tell me that her step-mother just joined the band wagon of twilighters after seeing the movie and now was totally obsessed. I was like...."shut UP?!?!?"

Now, Carrie & me are close. Close close...We love just about the same in everything. So when I hit the twilight buzz of obsessed O-Rama Mania last year...

I was like.."CARRIE YOU MUST READ THIS!"

"YOU WILL LOVE IT!"...and so the excuse was

"Well, Tierra I just dont have the time right now"

or

"Okay, well maybe next week" was all i heard the entire last year.

Lets repeat that.

I heard those excuses the entire time of last year!!!

Even when the movie came out i BEGGED her to read or at least watch the movie with me.

Nope. Carrie was not budging the little turd!

well ya know what folks....Friday, I received another phone call.

"Tierra, your gonna hate me"

"Why???"

"I watched Twilight......"

WHAT! WHAT! WHAT!

YOU DID IT WITHOUT ME!!!!!

"Tierra...I LOVEd IT!" I'm obsessed"

To spare you all the rest of our convo....CARRIE HAS FINALLY SEEN THE LIGHT!!!! All weekend we talked about twilight. Watching the extra features. Talking about the books. Whats coming ahead. looking at things on the net. Youtubing.

I told you so SUCKA!!!!!

To the Front Porch...

{clicky to see the rock-bride to be Carrie Chomping on the amazing Hamburger}

This weekend had to be by far the best "feed your soul" with sunshine moments. All bare with me this week, no "get to know me Monday" either. So many things took place and pictures to come. Okay well maybe not TONS of things but enough that i don't want to put it all in one post but know that this will all span from this weekend.

To my family, if you say food...Well, you don't have to holla twice! I just LOVE it when it comes to this time of year on into the summer. Every weekend, its always a phone call to relatives with a "you wanna cook out?" speeding through the wires.

So off we go with our "first" cookout for the season hosted at my house. The cousins that were here, We all took a nice long walk while the food was being prepared. Us Patrick's are very impatient people when we have to wait So a walk we go.

The weather was PERFECT! Sun BRIGHTLY out and 70 degrees made it a sweet wel-come for me to sport around my new sun dress.

Oh goodness...this weekend we did hamburgers

but i think i hear the call of steaks next time around with shrimp. Ye-haw!

We always head to the front porch during the spring & summer.
Sweet love. Sweet love.

Here Comes the Sun...

Two Heaven's

So, Um...Yeah.

I HIGHLY recommend

Hershey's limited edition of Coconut Creme Kisses.

Like. I Love them. Like B.A.D.

Today, I suffered a Shampoo Death. I have been in mourning all day.

My shampoo I used to use and was planning on doing a post on how much it

"rocks my world"

Had to leave me.

Due to reasons not ready to share.

So.

Today I went to my salon and told them my sad tale.

They truly felt my pain.

But, Alas they turned my attention to this new little lady in green.

Now, we all have our own particular sweet juices for our hair.

For me.

This new Lady in Green, "Design Line Olive Oil-Regis Salon"

Became my Hair Heaven.

1 Heaven + 1 Heaven =

Bliss.

This is all.

Funk?

Have you ever been in a funk? Well, I am! My thoughts...church tomorrow. What to wear? I Have NOTHING to wear that I WANT to wear! Can I stay home? What kind of LAME person am I that wishes to stay home because her wardrobe doesn't suite her this week?!?!? Lame I tell ya, LAME! The Notebook is on. I watch a few minutes. The sighs, the OoOo's...love, YUCK! I'm going to be single FOREVER! I fight within my self...NO I MOST CERTAINLY AM NOT!

I go to my room. Any good books I haven't read in a while? Thousands!

Any that I want to reread?

NOPE!

See, I tell ya I'm in a funk.

Also, I've been craving sugar cookies...the good kind. The kind that the recipe calls for sour cream and a long process. But, do I want to actually make them? HECK NO! I wonder if I called my old YW president who made excellent ones and see if she'll mail me some? Probably not.

Funk I tell ya! I'm in a FUNK!

I walk over to the calendar on my refrigerator. It's my black & white one I'm in love with. I check the days ahead. Whens my period coming? The oh so NOT "friend" that my grandmother use to refer it as because she wouldn't dare say things like period or sex or PMS.

Why, lookie there I said them! Haha!

5 Days incoming. OH. GREAT. I'm. So. Thrilled. Cant you tell?

So really my funk = PMS.

The End.

Twilight Par-TAY!

Twilight Twilight Twilight! ! !

Hot Dang it is in Da-HOUSE! Yeah, Baby! ! ! Okay...Tierra doing her...{{{breathe}}} calm down voice LOL SO...Hi-dee Bloggers...As you know I had a Twilight Party! This week, I have worked my butt off for this party and I am SO HAPPY it was a success! The "Thank You's" are ENDLESS! First...Kristy, thank you for opening up your home and letting me have the party there. Amber F. for bringing those "oh so sinful" cookies...Do you have any left??? Stephanie thank you for doing the punch! I was so happy you came and I LOVED your T-shirt! And then THANK YOU to you all for coming. Christy & Allison, Jamie Burlette, Stephanie, Amber F. Kristy, Amber L. --Did you know Amber L. has a VAMPTASTIC twilight blog? Scroll down to my Stalking Avenue and hit Eyes of Amber. I swear, everyday...its all Twilight/New Moon news galore...LOVE it! ! ! Now, silly talkative me talked WAY to much at the beginning and didnt even think about getting pictures with everyone and the ones who wore their FABULOUS twilight shirts. BUT here is the whole set up. Enjoy!

The Invite. I wanted these to be eye catching the moment you pulled it out of its matching dark navy blue envelope. So this is the front side. What you cant tell, is that its really shiny! I wanted it to be a mini movie poster so I had them laminated to be really shiny!

Backside. Also laminated for shiny effect.

The Set Up. I went all out and found these damask plates/napkins. With my gorgeous pictures frames and twilight official photos for the center. I chose the one with Edward at the piano and my favorite prom scene with blue silk underneath.

{click to enlarge both pics and see the table better}

For food, it was movie night so pizza. Duh! Then for desert, I knew I wanted these extra sinful chocolate dipped strawberries prepared by me :)

Cherie...I did it! ! ! My bloggy friend Cherie had posted on her craft blog how to make these pin wheels. SO easy! With Double sided paper I made my self with twilight written all over on one side and my color scheme dark navy blue on the other.

{click to enlarge for better view} {I was so proud of myself}

Also, I cant forget Kristy's Husband Aaron who set up all of Kristy's twilight stuff just for the party! Aaron, that was so nice and it made the night for everyone to see! Thanks! ! ! Not to mention but Aaron graciously left and gave up his home for the evening!

I am a FIRM believer that all parties done by me, is a MUST to receive a treat bag for coming.

all the ladies went home with these cute little bags.

Inside I gave everyone a full Hershey chocolate bar with a new twilight wrapper! The second pic below the first shows the back of the candy bar. I thought Chocolate vs. twilight..."Can you resist temptation?"

Also, I am a big chap stick freak at work and I got to thinking that, I for one would LOVE to be rockin some twilight chap stick! So in the bag was a tube a chap stick with a twilight label made by yours truly saying "a taste of forbidden fruit"

After the movie was over and everyone was starting to leave, I realised I had NO photos with anyone! What the heck?!?! So I pulled Kristy-- my co-host and at least took a quick pic with her. I LOVE her! She is truly a Best friend. Not to mention but a Twilight-Edward Lovin- fanatic-Buddy!
{lookie there Edward is in all his stern hotness in the back! then stupid dead James at the bottom..that's right sucka your at the bottom HAHA!}

Thank You again everyone for coming! You made my "little" party VAMPTASTIC!

Get to Know Me :: Monday ::

Part Two :: The Color of Skin ::

For as long as I can remember, all my life people would ask me what my gentic background was.
I've been guessed at being asiaon, hispanic, chinese, hawwian...yada yada. But, no one has everhit it right on the nail.

So, when I first started thinking of what to do my part 2 for monday on...My first thoughts were to meet the parents. The two crazy that gave you dear, snooper, talkitive me! But then I thought, I wanted to do a post/write on an issue that in away has been a HUGE part of my life but yet a NON PART of my life subject. Race. The color of Skin.

To truly understand let me first state that I am 100% comfortable in my own skin. My race has never been an issue with me or have I ever had to deal with any racial issues until this past election.

When my parents started dating, there were some harsh feelings on my mothers completely white side of the family tree. My mother was already 33 at the time of her pregnancy with me and my grandmother whom I love/loved dearly had a very hard time coming around. Growing up I never new that, that backin the days of little tierra in the womb my moms family was just not ready--particuly my grandmother. I have never held this aganist my grandmother because for one my grandmother was born in 1922 and grew up her entire era when it was just not done. Mixing your race. Yes, it was done but was it excepted, No. And so to my grandmother, it was truly hard to understand. So lets fast forward to my grand entrance to this world. My skin color. White. -----------> Shock O-rama to the fam's on both sides.
Check out the picture below. It's one of my faves of my Dad and me at 5 months old. I love my Dad's Smile.

If you haven't guessed it my Dad is African American. My mom, an Irish redhead with extreme white skin who would practically toast herself in the sun just for a tan and die her hair blond. My mom was simply, the bomb.com that way LOL

For both sides of the family it was something to take in for sure that my skin was not as dark as they thought it would have been.
My mom always told me all my life that I was to always know that I was the way Heavenly Father wanted me to be. Skin color and all.

And for that, I have had the greatest honor of growing up with two completely different sides of cultures, foods, expressions, and skin colors. When I was younger it was harder to express to your friends the difference in things BUT the older I got and up till now, my life embraces both sides.


Through these two, I am who I am. A Bi-Racial American who is proud to say that she can come from both colors.

My mother always taught me to always remember who I was. To never be ashamed of skin color or even the colors of others. My traits from my mom & dad I like you to know this Monday is this.

From Mom who I was raised by---my parents went their separate ways after I was three--is the knowledge of the gospel. To read my scriptures daily and always put your shoulder to the wheel and push long. doing your duty in life with a heart full of song. To except others. To except myself. To dance crazy to music loudly at any chance you get. To go shopping for clothes and splurge once in while. To hear the music in everything. To make people feel comfortable and welcome in my home. and always always pray. I shall never forget the many many times of passing my moms bedroom door and seeing her kneel in prayer.

From my Dad comes the talking. I forewarn anyone who gets my Dad going. He's worse then me LOL From him I get most of my face outline...We look exactly alike in the face. Also I get my stubborness in life. To be independent. You'll probably never remember this part but I'm very independent...to the extreme and I have so much trouble in giving things over to other people to do. Just like my Dad. I'm friendly to the extreme just like my Dad. He will be friend anyone that will befriend him.

Now, I know this was long so brownie points for those who read this all the way through. To end...my Skin, I am who I am. Sometimes I think I got so chipped in the skin deal because it takes forever for me to tan and I get SO FREAKIN pale in the winter LOL

But for reals though, these two gave me life. I was born to goodly parents who have loved me in way that I shall never feel unloved. So now you know. Until next Monday-Chow!

Edward, Kiss me at Midnight!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TODAY IS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Get to Know Me :: Monday ::

YowwwwZa look at those legs! Lately, I've been brain storming --something you should always be careful with, when around me LOL--And I wanted to do something to where on my blog, it would be noting some memories & thoughts but also allow you to get to know me better.

Hence "Get to know Me Monday" brilliant right? Don't answer that :)

Have you ever wondered what is people's take on you, that they see from your blog?

After all it is your-this ones mine--blog. So therefore it shows who you are. Your likes,your family, your interest ...yada yada and so forth.

I hope that you all see this...Me...for what it is. Just a single gal livin a southern life searchin for that sweet talkin, to slow moving, southern man.

And Everything else in between LOL

So every Monday or so *I may not be perfect at this* I plan on sharing alittle about myself that I would like for you to get to know. To see. That way, to whatever blog summarizing you give mine, I've at least had my say. HAHA!

To kick off, I found these the other day going through photos and couldn't think of a better way to sum me up then these two killer photos of me.

High Heels, Lip stick, & dreaming of being a mommy. Oh, and rockin the care bear undies! Yeah baby! ! ! Jealouuuusssssss.

All my life shoes have sang to me. Yes, I do mean S. I. N. G, sing! They are truly this girls best best friend. For as LONG as I can remember getting out my moms, aunts, high heel shoes was apart of my everyday agenda since the beginning of my time. Oh and check this out... I have this goal, that when ever I leave this earth, I always yell and remind my cousins & aunts that the casket better be opened all the way to show off my shoes. No joke!

BUT most importantly, I dream of being a mommy. ALWAYS growing up I was playing mommy & baby. My own mommy would buy me real diapers and bottles to play with. LOVED IT! To me, to be able to have a chance of having a baby is a pure gift from Heavenly Father and one that I look *UP MOST* forward in doing. Sometimes, I'll be honest and say that it is hard at church to see all of my dear friends get to have this chance while I have to wait and just play on the sidelines.

BUT Having my nephew though is truly the best part of my life. Raising a child and teaching it about all the good things in this life is my hearts desire. And not all the shoes in this world could full fill it. Except for maybe a pair of Jimmy Choo Shoes...JUST KIDDING! ! !

"If I were asked to name the Worlds greatest need, I should say unhesitatingly wise Mothers;

:: President David O. Mckay, LDS church ::

OH. MY. SEXY-NESS.

I will be buying my first GQ magazine. As for the rest...Shut up Tierra and let the picture do the talking. This is all.

It's ALL about the Men

Last night my sisterinlaw came over and we watched American Idol. Oh my ladies....I had an awesome night. First off because it was Michael Jackson night! I LOVE Michael Jackson and I'm not ashamed to admit this. His music is something I've always listened to and it always rocks my world! So I'm gonna skip the crap of Tierra talking about blah blah "Oh I swooned" talk and just get to the juice. The men! Whooo-HOO! This year, again it's all about the men for me. My top three who I'm not really sure who I love the most....All three voices just does something to me in diffrent ways. -------------> Did I just say that? Yep I did! LOL

**The Men** in NO order yet. Still undecided.



This Guy, Matt Giraud... OH. MY. STARS. With his lips trembling while he sang that song. SEXY. His voice just hits me so sultry and this is already on my IPOD. LOVE him! LOVE LOVE LOVE this performance!

{side note: i have this performance on the IPOD and i've watched it all day. When it gets to 2:03 time...that whole voice tremble...Oh my!}



Next up would be Danny Gokey. Oh. Word. This guy can SINNNNNGGGG! He's got that raspy bluesy hits you in the gut voice that i just adore. Not to mention but with my new hairdo, I can bounce my head real sweeeeeeet to this song LOL Just LOVED that it was Michael Jackson night!



Last but majorly not considered least is Adam Lambert. Okay me and my SIL was like first...DANG HE'S HOTT with those eyes and hair. But, then we were like "PLEASE DON'T BE GAY!?!" We were a hoot to watch this night! He has such energy and this was not a fave Michael Jackson song for me but i was rockin out to it anyway just because of his high formed performance. Those notes he hit?!?!?

This is going to be a great year on Idol and I for one am pretty dang excited. Don't call me on Tuesdays!
