Turtle Time

My little boy brought this adorable Turtle Time book home from the school library yesterday. It's a story of a little girl and her pet turtle friend. The pictures are so cute. I loved it!

Bonjour Paris

We made our official reservations for Paris today. We won't go until our anniversary in June, but we wanted a specific hotel in a specific location, so we were told to book very early. I guess we have a long time to prepare but we're very excited!

Boo!

I've seen quite a few posts on how you some of you ladies are excited about football season. Well, here's how I feel about football season.

Our Day Of Fun

Dean and I were supposed to be going to NYC this weekend while my mom watched the kids. She had a whole day of fun planned for them on Saturday and they were soooo excited. Well, me and Dean didn't get on the flight so we had to come back home. On Saturday morning when I walked out Gabe saw me and said, "AHHH, Mom! Now we don't get to have our day of fun. Can't you go back and get on another plane?" I was glad to know that I was so loved! Anyways, I ended up joining them for the day of fun. We rode the front runner to SLC where we went to the Spaghetti Factory and the the Gateway. It was a fun day!

Crazy Crayons

We made Crazy Crayons with Paige and her friend Koy today. I saw the idea on Martha Stewart and thought it sounded fun. You just chop up old crayons and let the kids sprinkle them into tiny muffin cups. Martha used hearts, but circles worked fine. Then you just bake them for 15 minutes until they're melted. Really any kid could make these. I thought they'd be really cute teacher gifts if you put them in a jar with a ribbon.

Bobo The Creepy Clown!

I was hesitant to post this pictures for fear that nobody will ever come to our house for one of our parties again but it was just too funny. Plus I had some requests. Danika, this one's for you!

Carnival Fun

We had a really fun carnival party for Paige's birthday today. The kids had so much fun and Paige loved having all of her favorite friends over. Serious picture overload, I know!

Let The Celebration Begin!

The day has finally arrived. My little Princess Paige is 5. Yes, she is my Princess today and I only get one Princess so I am allowing myself to spoil her rotten. We started off our morning with an early trip to Village Inn for their yummy strawberry crepes. It was here that the shiny new princess bike was revealed. Paige is most excited for this bike being that the tire on her old one is ruined and she loves riding bikes. We had to do everything super early this morning so Dean could head off to work. That's about it for today but stay tuned for more fun with our exciting carnival party!

Happy Birthday

A Happy Happy Birthday to my good friend Jill. We've shared so many great memories and she has always been there for me when I needed her to be. Thanks for being such a great friend. I hope you have a great day!
