I love weddings, but this one tops them all! It was such an amazing day. The ceremony at the Temple was so beautiful. Shane and Paige looked so happy, excited and in love. The luncheon was so much fun, and the food was amazing. Then came the reception! That party was off the hook!!!:) Cactus and Tropicals was beautiful! They had Cafe Rio cater and also had all different kinds of cakes and pies. Everyone there seemed to really enjoy themselves.

I love Shane and Paige as a couple. Shane is Matt's brother that I am closest with, and I am so glad to see his life completed now that he has Paige. She makes him the amazing man that he is, and Shane makes Paige the beautiful woman that she is. I am so happy that we have them in our lives! Congrats Shane and Paige!

Happy Birthday Jenny!

See that hottie up there? The redhead with the flower in her hair? That's my friend Jenny. Today is her Birthday! She makes one hot 30 year old wife/mother/friend/aunt/sister. I have been friend's with Jenny since 7th grade. She is one of my BFF's that I went to Vegas with, and the trip would not have been as great as it was had she not come! She is an amazing woman who supports her hubby while he is finishing school. She is a GREAT mother who home school's her children. She is patient, kind, caring, hilarious, beautiful...the list goes on. Happy Birthday Jenny! Love Ya!!!!

Dear little mouse and friends

Dear mouse #2 and friends,

Thank you for taking the time today to visit our family. My hubby Matt really wished that he could have been here for your visit (so do I)!

Thank you for running around the house so the dogs could get their exercise. They have been slacking with the cold weather.

Thank you for helping me get the couch moved. I have been wondering what is under there that needs to be cleaned. I appreciate you running under there twice so that I could lift it up and hold it in the air for the dogs to chase you. Thank you also for running around my legs while holding up the couch. I forgot how loud I can scream.

I did appreciate all the excitement you brought to the house today, but I think we are done with you and your friends visiting for the year. (Including 2010).

Please feel free to tell your friends that they are welcome to visit my friend Emily up the street. Her children love to find you and your friends in their boots that are located in the garage. Please tell Emily I said "Hello"!

Daddy Daughter Night

(This post is for you Jen:)

Matt had mentioned that he wanted to spend more time with the kids when he is in town, so we thought it would be great to start Dad/Kid nights. So Oakley started off. She choose to go bowling, and being the sweet girl she is, she let Taylor come too! Matt bought them pretzels and drinks, and after bowling, he took them to the arcade there to play games. They won tickets and came home with a little stuffed animal each. They were so excited when they came home. They love their dad and jump at any chance to do things with him. I love that he is such a great dad to want to spend one on one time with them. Parker is so excited for his turn. I am sure there will be a Jazz game involved!!

Halloween Candy Needs To Go!!

The Halloween Candy in my house needs to go. NOW!!! It is was too tempting, especially once the kids go to school! HELP!!!

30th Birthday/10th Anniversary

What a huge week it was for me! Turning 30 and having our 10th Wedding Anniversary all in one week was crazysauce!! Matt was in Hawaii, but it still turned out just fine! On my birthday I went and had my hair colored, had a party at my parents, and then went to see Thriller with my sweet friend Mindi and her daughter.

Matt bought me some jewelry in Hawaii for my birthday and our anniversary, and I really felt like my best present was to have him home on Sunday, so I told him not to get me anything else. I was spoiled from friends and family and really just wanted him. He was so cute and sent me the most beautiful bouquet of roses on our Anniversary! What a guy! He also writes the cutest cards, so that also made my day. Our 10 years have flown by, and I look forward to many more years with him!

Hermit??? Me???

Yesterday one of my neighbor's little girls came over to play with Oakley. All the kids were off at their friends house and so I took the little girl back to her house. Her mom (a fabulous friend of mine) said that her husband was telling her that morning that he wondered if I was o.k. Why would he wonder that, you ask?

First off, he wonders because I am outside chatting with all the neighbor's all the time. I can't keep my trap shut. I love my neighbor's, and I love to talk. (Surprise!)Second-The weather is freaking cold!! I like my warmth! Third-Because I am a HERMIT!! J/K, but my neighbor's are starting to think so. I will admit, I do hide away a little bit when Matt is out of town, but not enough to worry about me:)

Let me tell you though.....we stay plenty busy around here. This last week we had cheerleading, 2 softball games, basketball practice, scouts, girl scouts, primary practice at the church, The Enchanted Woods, and play dates. So yes, my neighbors.....you may not see me, but it is because I am running all over the place:)
