PREPARATION!

Who knew getting ready for the salon bday party would be such a huge ordeal? Friday I headed to zurchers to get balloons. I wanted to get a bunch of those huge oversized ones until I saw they were $16 each. Hm regular balloons it is! I shoved them in my car and was going to run a few more errands until I realized I couldn't see out my rearview mirror!






Butterflies were cut out and new awnings were put up in the knick of time!



Beautiful!




Then I thought I would be so smart and save a ton of money by making cupcakes myself. I always take on huge projects like this thinking it will take a couple hours and I'll be done. Well I started around 630pm and 3 million cupcakes later I was done after midnight....so much for quick.


It was a lot of preparation but it was a fun successful day and was definitely worth it! I have lots of cupcakes left over anyone interested?

NICE DAY FOR A WHITE WEDDING

Over the weekend my cousin Brienne got married. It was a weekend filled with dinner, the temple and a reception. Saturday night Kenzie and I took Karly, Karter and Karson to the reception while the rest of the family went to cheer on the Jazz. This is what happens when you ask Karter to take a picture.....


Thanks Karter!

Brienne was a beautiful bride, I can't wait for her to start her new adventure!

Happy Birthday to US!

Hope you can make it! First come first served. I can't believe it's been one whole year! My oh my how my baby has grown!

COME BACK SPRING!

Well it was feeling like spring around here for a little bit and we were enjoying every minute of it! Spring cleaning was done, blossoms sprung, winter clothes were put away and out came the flip flops and t-shirts! We also tried to spend as much time outside as possible. Mik joined the Harley Davidson softball team and is loving it! They're actually pretty good but it is funny to see those Harley guys run! Usually at least one guy gets kicked out of the game for launguage problems! Mik plays outfield and has made some good catches and even got a double play! Buy me some peanuts and cracker jacks...






Mik also got the scooter out. Karson loves riding on "Miks big bike" and refused to get off!


Salute!



Thumbs up dude! Now come back sun and let us enjoy you!

OBSESSED!

You may or may not be familiar with the fabric designer Heather Ross, if you aren't...get familiar! She is coming out with a new line next month and i'm officially obsessed! (Holly its time to start our fabrics anonymous group). I will be stashing some for my future girlie and luckily a certain friend just found out shes having a girl! I definitely got this obsession from my mother...

PARADISE!

A few weeks ago we went to the Cayman Islands with my family it was one week of pure bliss! One afternoon Mik decided to break open a coconut the kids picked from a tree. It took multiple knives, a screwdriver, hammer and throwing it on the ground to open it but it was definitely worth the wait!

Fresh coconut is soooo delicious, even ask Karson...



He carried that piece around until it was completely gone, then asked for more! We had a wonderful time and it was definitely hard to come back to snowy Utah. Until next time Cayman...

Must See!

Last night Mik and I decided to go to the movies. We haven't been in forever and wanted to make sure it was a good one (who wouldn't when you're spending $20 on tickets, $5 on a small bag of popcorn and $5 on a bottled water!). We went and saw this movie:



This movie was hilarious! We laughed out loud the entire time and both agreed we haven't seen a movie this good in a long time. I love Tina Fey and Steve Carell so for me it was a match made in heaven. I will warn you there was a short raunchy part at the end (they always have to throw one of those in for some reason). But I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a laugh
