What girl doesn't love to treat herself to a good pedicure every now and then??? I sure do! This one was long over due for me! I met my Aunt Gayle and her friend Andi on Friday afternoon and it was just what I needed to start off my weekend! The interesting thing...we all ended up with black polish...not sure why! Hey we got cute little flowers on them ;) I think I have had enough pink lately! Thanks for a great Friday afternoon girls!!!
We did things a little different this year. My mom had a great idea of having a breakfast at her house and it turned out better than expected! Everyone loved it! My Aunt Kathy and her family were her from Elmo (yes there is an Elmo UT;) so it was fun to get to see them before the headed home. It was early enough that it wasn't so hot yet and the kids had fun playing in the yard. We all left with full tummies from good food and $5 a gallon chocolate milk! (thanks to Aunt Kristi)
After so many times of hearing the comment, "I need the recipe for that" I have started a recipe blog. Who doesn't need a few ideas every now and then for something to make for dinner or a great appetizer to take to a party. So if you need a recipe or want to share one email it to me and I will post them on the blog. So start swapping and happy cooking :-)

My cute friend Kamie married her high school sweet heart Matina on Saturday, June 14th. The ceremony was at Thanksgiving Point and they could not have asked for better weather! (it did get a little hot just sitting in it but they made cute little fans for all the guests) They both were in all white and looked amazing! Later that night the reception was held on the 23 floor of the Wells Fargo Building. Her cute little niece sang a song for them, her sisters did a dance, her dad sang (he pulled out all the stops and did a little Elvis) and then she danced. It was so awesome! Such talent that family has! For the last few months at work I think the wedding is all we have talked about. Not sure what we will do now...I guess work! I forgot how many little details go into a day like this but it turned out beautiful!!! Congrats and best wishes to the newlyweds! 
So Megan and I are driving down the road the other day and we look over and see this PILE of tree branches! Then we realize...wait!!! There is a truck under there...I thought we could not get the camera out fast enough to get the pic! Lucky we did ;) We laughed for miles! I really don't know that this was that funny but boy did we get a good laugh!!! So here you go Megan :-) 
Along with millions of other women, I went to opening night of Sex and the City! It was like the Super Bowl for women :-) I met up with some friends before the movie for good food and drinks...we even took a quiz and I lost by one! There were only a few girls there that I knew but at the end of the night I had made some FABULOUS new friends!!! Then off to the District we went where I met up with my girls from work. I started out with a love hate relationship with the movie but in the end I loved it! I even shed some tears...that is a good movie in my book if it can make you cry!
I have always had such great memories from Memorial day weekend and this year came through for me! My mom told me we would be leaving at 7:00 am and let's just say we got off to a late start because of me ;) Hey I'm not a morning person! So a little after 7:00 we were off!(Mom, Grandma, Cousin Tyler, Cousin Hope, Sister Haley and Nephew Carter) The ride down started off a little sleepy but after an all too funny time ordering some breakfast at McDonalds we all woke right up! Then we ended up playing some crazy car game that made us all laugh pretty hard!
This is the back of the car with the flowers...and Grandma toned it down this year! She buys so many flowers! She is such a doll! Her relatives are lucky to have her!!!
This is the house that my Grandma grew up in...can you say tiny! Her mother raised her and her two brothers alone! What a strong woman! My Grandma lost her husband 27 years ago and talk about a strong woman! I don't think in all these years I have ever heard her complaine about being alone. I know she misses Grandpa terribly but she is such a positive woman! I am so blessed to have gotten even a little of their strength!
