Our Family Photos

While my sister was in town, she took some family picture for us. Here are just a few that are my favorites. It was hard just picking a few! Thanks Courtney, we love them all. Want to check out some other photos by my sis? Check out her blog here!

America thanks you!

Mike came home last night from a business trip and shared this little story with me. On his Delta flight home from Texas there were 4 Soldiers who were coming home to Utah to see their families. All 4 of these Soldiers were sitting near the back of the plan. 3 people in first class gave up their seats for these Soldiers so that they could sit more comfortably. As for the last Soldier who did not get a first class seat? Well, I hope he/she still knows that we are thankful for what they do! Also, props to those people who gave up their seats. It made me think... would I do the same thing? I sure hope I would!

Will the real Kate Gosslin please stand up?

Remember the kate that was a homemaker, who wanted nothing more than to see her kids happy with the simpler things in life. Who made organic food for her kids, didn't care about trends, and spent her money wisely? Well, now I'm just confused...

This show makes me sick...

When I first saw the commercials for this show I thought they had to be kidding, but no! They are not fooling around here. They are actually reconstructing these beautiful women to what they think their fiance's want them to look like. Don't they get it? Pretty sure the person their fiance fell in love with is the person they are without getting all the surgery to make them look like completely different people. Also... sorry if this offends anyone but... if you want to get liposuction because you are overweight, try working out first. These girls are all lazy and want immediate results. Life doesn't work that way.

My Christmas Wish List

Just a few of the things I'm thinking about for Christmas. I'm in love with them all!
This might be my favorite invention this year. It's a little pom pom speaker for your ipod. You can take this wherever you go and everyone can enjoy the music.

I am in desperate need of some new PJ's, and these take the cake! I love the Geo Red pattern.

I love this invention. Such an easy way to make baby food. A little more on the pricey side but I think it would pay for itself through use.

This necklace is beautiful. I love the texture and the colors!

I already own a pair of these awesome Ugg Boots, but in another color. Now I want black too!

This girl cracks me up!

This girl is serious about eating! It wasn't until later, when I watched the video again that the music on the TV in the background went so perfectly! Priceless!

Cal-A-Vie

Mike and I were so privileged to go to this day spa for the second year with Sam Brocato and his wife Holly. Mike and Sam worked the whole time while Holly and I got pampered. We were lucky to have Mike's mom, Sheri, watch Remee for us. I was in much need for some R&R but I missed my little Booga (that's what I call Remee, don't know why).
This is the Chapel and Reception building they have on the Resort. It cost $250,000 to have your wedding up here and from what I learned, it was a place that Brad Pitt and Jennifer A. were thinking about back when they got married.

Those little buildings down there are where your rooms are and all the spa essentials are! This place is really in the middle of nowhere. It's so pretty and quiet.

This is the 'prison garb' as we called it. No need to pack anything but undies for this trip. You wear sweat and robes all day. Behind me is a windmill that they had brought in from Italy. No joke! They put the whole thing on a boat and plopped it in right there!

We had so much fun! And besides being at a spa, we also celebrated our 3 year anniversary while we were here. I say not bad for an anniversary get away!

Remee's first feeding

She ate every last drop of her rice cereal yesterday! She loves food. We might have a little chunk on our hands soon! This is how we clean up in our house after eating. Ha ha... I hope you all know this is a joke. We don't really do this. Although I will say whether we like it or not, Raven is always licking this girl's face, and Remee doesn't seem to mind. She loves Raven!

I'm in LOVE!!!

I'm in the mood now where I want to redo everything. My wardrobe, house decor, you name it! So here are a few things that are on my wish list... I guess you could say.
This whole living room is gorge! I love the Chevron rug and the pop of green and pink!

Such a cute saying and who doesn't like a happy yellow?

I saw this skirt on the today show on some model and I fell in love. I love the graphic pattern and you could wear this with pretty much whatever colored shirt you wanted!

Ok we all know I'm obsessed with Anthro and this is just my dream sweater! Too bad it's $128.00. I'll just have to wait a couple of months til it goes on sale!

If I could have a couch it would be this one! I love the color, the texture, and the tufted cushions. Again... too bad it's $2,100.00.
