Josh's Surprise Party

Okay, once again, I'm behind in my updates. I just need another hour in my day (preferably when the kids are asleep to get everything finished that I say I am going to finish hehee). So I was going to report on the surprise party I threw for Josh's graduation (and for taking the bar).

After changing the date once (from July to August...and yes, the invites were already sent out and I had to call everyone back. Josh failed to inform me of a class he was taking on Saturday) and changing the time once (August 2nd at 11:45am got rearranged to 12:45 pm when Josh told me the NIGHT BEFORE THE PARTY that he had an MPRE class until 1pm—man, I was stressed!), we had a really great party! Josh was COMPLETELY surprised. It made it worth it because he was SO confused and then just happy!

The LAZY DAY COLLECTION

So after some not-so-lazy days, I finished this little collection! I hope you all enjoy it! There are sales going on right now on the accessories, multipacks and quickpages. Be sure to check out the shop!



Here are the quickpages!


Also, I WILL get the photos up of Josh's surprise graduation party soon! A thank you to everyone for keeping it a secret! It was a big success!

Make your Blog a book!

So I was perusing digishoptalk today and someone posted a link I have been looking for! It's a company that changes your blog into a book. The thing that I love the most about it, is that this sort of takes care of two birds with one stone. I can blog/journal...well, at least the highlights, and then get it into a family book! It makes me so happy! I like digi scrapping because I think it really captures the moments in our lives that are interesting and beautiful, but I tend to put a lot of "other" stuff on my blog...things I'm into, funny antidotes about the kids, etc.

So tired of me rambling about it, and just want the link....lol. Here is it http://www.blurb.com/create/book/blogbook . Check it out and tell me what you think!

Pioneer Day and Lola's B-day Party

In Utah, we have a Pioneer Day celebration on the 24th of July. I've never really celebrated it before (mostly because I only lived in Utah as an undergrad), but we had a great time going to the parade and having a bbq with friends and family. Here are some of the highlights:


water balloon toss with Liz and Caroline (me and Siri).


Felicity doing a lot of wandering around (and generally having a great time) at the bbq


My two angels! (Flissa has her bottle because she was almost ready for bed)



Siri's obsession with Bob and Judy's Sugar Plum Princess and fairy dolls (yes, she took these pictures)


Watching the fireworks


Making "snakes" (Siri's favorite part!)

And because I have been a slacker (and didn't post these ON Pioneer Day), I also have photos of Lola's Birthday Party from last night. It was at Nate and Michelle's house and was SO fun! The first part was outside...there was a huge wind storm that can in and blew away napkins, plates, chips...I even chased after a sack and got made fun of (I couldn't really tell if I was going to really get it or not, so I kept stopping then chasing...you can imagine how ridiculous I looked).

I can't believe Lola is 2! Happy Birthday Lola!

I feel like this is the face I got from her every time I snapped a picture!
