Chuck E. cheese's... Where a kid can be a kid!



Georgia had her 5th birthday party at Chuck E. cheeses this year. She looved it! It was fun watching all the kids go crazy collecting tickets. I remember when I was a kid... We came here for cousins birthdays all the time. I remember it much bigger though... Or was it?

Jesse loved this shooting arcade game... we both did actually! I could see the screen and was able to tell him where to shoot and stuff... oh man, he is a smart little guy... he didn't need much of my help though, he knew exactly what he was doing.

Air hockey is one of my all time favorites... I am good at it.

Chuck E. came out and greeted all the kids and did a little show for them. I think at first they didn't know what was going on, but then they got the hang of things and started dancing along.

Kara loved this jeep ride... she didn't want it to stop moving.

Georgia got 1,600 tickets when she got in the ticket booth... she got a special birthday medal and she was soo proud! what a cutie!!

and this is baby Myla, she is so precious! I think she will be a blonde and possibly blued eyed lil cutie!

Present time! There was cake and ice cream too. The cake was pretty darn good... very moist.

Curtis is so good to pose for me when I want a picture... what a kid!

I love my new kicks.

I love, love my new workout shoes I found at Ross' today. They are super comfy, light weight and PINK! Nothing like a new pair of shoes to get you going...



i love me some Applebee's

Today was the first snow fall of the season... I mean the first snow fall that didn't melt by morning. Daniel and I went out to do snow removals, clear out to freakin West Valley. After we were done we decided we needed to unwind at Applebee's... love that place! We had our usual... 2 for $20... except it's not really $20 after you add the drinks. ;-(

I finally found you...

Today was an awesome day for me... I finally got in touch with my old friend from high school. Ariana Gonzales... boy have I been looking for her!! I was on facebook and found her cousin a few weeks ago and today, Ariana finally decided to join the FB clan! Oh, I was soo happy to see her friend request. I mean she was my best friend... now if we could just find Vanessa, and Gabby!

This is an old photo I have of the three of us (Ariana, Vanessa, and me)... I have this framed in my living room. Not the best picture but definitely one of my faves!

Euwww gross!

Colton got hurt today while helping the boys hang trusses in Spring City...

I can't watch this video, but I thought I would share for those of you who don't have a weak stomach like me. I feel bad for Colton... I bet that shit hurt! OUCH!!!!!!!!!

He ended up getting 15 staples. yuck! this looks so gross. Daniel said he didn't even cry, he just dropped to the floor and said "ow, my head!" lol. I would have been bawling like a baby!

Shakey's Pizza Parlor

I had to babysit Nancy's kids today for several hours while she worked at Kohl's... soo I thought, what better way to kill time then to go to Shakey's Pizza. It was good for me cuz the kids ate till they were full and played in the game room for a few hours. Later when we went back to their house and we watched a movie until Nancy came home. It was a good day, the kids had fun, they had never been there  before so they loved it!!

D.I. sucks!

I have always love to shop at thrift stores...especially the D.I in Idaho. But I tell you what, this one here in UT SUCKSSS!!! I hate it, there is never anything good. This was the only good thing I found today, after a long hour there... I gave up.

I guess I didn't do too bad for $2. This has extra page protectors in the back to insert your own recipe cards. This will be cute for my recipes that are falling out of my "Taste of Home" cookbook,  I love so much.

Do you want to Scraplift with me?

My new scrapbooking inspiration...

I love Elizabeth Kartchner's style. I bought this today and can't wait to scraplift a few layouts!

Happy Birthday lil sister!!

Wow... I can't believe my youngest sister is 25! I feel old... I remember when I was 25... way back when... lol.

she is pretty isn't she! (this photo was taken today 1/10/12)

She's finally here...

Amy and Jeremy had their 6th child on Sat Jan 7th, 2012. I think this one may be their last... we will see! She is adorable, and kinda of a blondie, I think. The kids were so excited to have another lil sibling, even though it broke their pattern of girl, boy, girl. Georgia WAS glad to break the pattern for some reason. ?. They hadn't decided on  name when I was there, but after a few days of going thru a some they decided on Myla Amy King. I think that's adorable, and it fits her well.

Can't wait to see this lil one grow! :-)

Melaleuca products...

I honestly do love these products. I love the smell of them, and the idea that they are non-toxic and safe. I hope to always be able to use these products in my home.

I especially love the new lemon scent on the sol- u- mel... oh it's so crisp, fresh and clean! These are just a few of my everyday products I use... I felt inspired to take a photo of them while I was cleaning house today.

Lazy days...

today was a sweat pants, hoodie, and hat type of day! It was raining for most of the day so we stayed home and watched t.v for the most part. We went to Cabela's for a while... Dustin hadn't been there in a while.

 I love this safari theme... the zebra is amazing!

There's that dam freaky bear... I would die if I saw a real one!
 I went out later that evening to pick up the ZUmba videos I bought off KSL.... we'll see how this one goes!

Uh, Babe, can you buy me this please...

I have been wanting a new car for a while now... and today while I was at Jamba Juice (at freakin 9am), I saw this beauty of an Audi! Oh, I want one soo bad! Maybe soon.

Look at that front end... BEAUTIFUL!!!

Girls ONLY!!

I love sure enjoy hanging out at Amy's house, with this little booger especially! She is soo stinkin cute and lovable. I spent a few hours hanging out with Amy and her girls (Alana, Georgia and Kara). Jeremy took both of the boys (Curtis and Jesse) to Spring City for a few days. It gave Amy a nice little break before the new baby arrives. She is crazy... sometimes I can't believe she has been married the same time as me, and she has 5 kids, with one on the way! She is super woman I tell ya!

Sportsman's Warehouse... it's a mans WORLD!

Anytime I go into Sportsman's or any other outdoor place like this I am reminded of why I am scared to go camping in places other than your KOA Campground, lol. Can you imagine getting attacked by one of these animals...

I mean, I know people say they won't attack you but seriously, it's still scary to me! And don't even get me started on bears! oh man... I would pass out if I saw one for real...

and while Daniel is shopping for work boots, I am walking around gawking at the stuffed animals. I can't help but to take pics every time I am here... they are amazing animals but they still scare me!

Semi- Annual Sale....

OMG... I cannot tell you how much I love the semi-annual sale at Victoria's Secret! You have to be there first thing the day of sale to get the best selection. I always stock up on perfumes, lotions, undies and items I can take to my fam in Mexico.

I love, love their bras so I have to stock up for myself too! I went a little crazy this year because I bought stuff online the first day of the sale as well as in the store... hehe!

NEW YEAR! NEW GOALS!!!!

THis year my goal is to be more organized... and one of the first places I started was in the kitchen. I am sick of looking in there and seeing this all messy. I always buy the same things because I forget we already have it. It is a small pantry but if its organized, and labeled, I think we can make it work.

Before: Messy, everything out of place, and overcrowded.

After: Cleaner, organized and all labeled. Oh, it makes me happy!!!
