slumber party

last night, i had my nieces over for a little slumber party.

we painted fingernails and toenails.  

i painted mine pepto-bismol pink.

as i was painting them, one of the girls said, "woah!  you have big toes!"

i've been teased all my life for these babies!

(i know it's a gross picture, but i thought it was a funny story)

this little one loved the camera.

she kept asking me to "take another picture."

"take another picture.

i'll do funny face."

and we watched

"high school musical 3"

with popcorn.

classic movie.

thanks girls for such a fun night! i would've been lonely without you!

very clever

California Utah Women's Conference

This last weekend Cason and I participated in the California Utah Women's Conference.

It is a big conference where a bunch of (mostly) women get together and sell things.

From jewelry, to random souvenirs, to baby clothes, to headbands.

A few days before we decided we were going to sell some of our product.

We didn't have much inventory done, so we stayed up late Thursday night, and didn't sleep at all Friday night so we could be ready for the big day on Saturday.

Cason even stayed up late and helped me cut fabric and designs.

He even went with me to help me sell!

It was so sweet of him, and he was a good salesman!

We had our own little table that we decorated.

We sold little tees, car seat covers and decor.

We are glad the weekend is over, because it was very stressful!

But a great learning experience.

ps.  Some of these items are still for sale.  I will post pics and prices soon.

  

rodents

is it a problem if we have constant rodent smell in our house?  

is it a problem that when we are up late at night we hear scratching, gnawing, and little rodent feet putter across our ceiling?

is it a problem that we have rodents living with us??

DISgUstiNG!!!

It is a problem! and our maintenance people obviously don't think it is.  

A few weeks ago, we smelt this nasty smell creeping in our house.  We deep cleaned, and checked everywhere, but the smell was STILL there.  We called the front office to see if someone would come out and fix the problem.  Well a month later....it's still there!  They supposedly looked in the vents and didn't see anything, but how could they when the vents are only 1/2 foot by 1 foot?  They put a deodorizer in our "attic", but that clearly hasn't helped.  

Cason related it to someone who accidentally went to the bathroom in their pants.  Are you going to just spray perfume on yourself thinking the smell is going to go away?  No you can't do that!  You have to get rid of the smell.  You can't just smother it.  (Sorry if that was too descriptive.)  Anyway,  it grosses me out that there are rodents living with us.  Why can't we have a discounted rent for this month?  :)  What do we do?? HELP!

bandwagon

Yes...I've jumped on it too!!

Here's a sneak peek of what I have been up to lately.

Stay tuned...

marry me!!

One year ago on March 6th,
I answered "YES!!"

It was one of the best decisions
I have ever made!

home to the 84604

Last weekend I cried. In fact, I cried a lot!

It was a very spiritual weekend and I definitely missed my family. Sarah and I hugged when we saw each other, and we cried. It made me feel loved!

Lauren blessed sweet baby Kate Rose.

and I cried.

Brian gave a beautiful blessing.

I am so thankful for the Priesthood in my life! I am thankful that Brian holds the Priesthood and was able to bless his baby girl.

I'm also thankful that Cason holds the Priesthood and will be able to exercise it when we have babies of our own.

I held Kate and tears rolled down my cheeks. She has such a sweet spirit about her. It is so amazing to me how perfect and sweet a baby is. Their smell is so delicate, their breath is soft and they are so fragile and precious. I love it!

I put Jack down for a nap. and I cried. I am such a boob.

He had fallen asleep with his basketball in one hand and his other hand behind his head. I thought it was cute, so I wanted to get a picture. I went in to snap away and he woke up. Dang it! Lauren walked in and said, "want Ro ro (that's my nickname) to lay by you or mom?" Jack said, "Ro ro." So I laid by him and tickled his almost perfect face.

"Ro ro?" He said.

I answered,"Yah?"

"Thanks."

I cried!! It was the sweetest thing. He was so thankful that I was laying by him tickling his face.

I got to play with Owen. He is a spitting image of his dad! Such a cute boy with long legs and big blue eyes! Love that sweet smile! Love him!

I hung out with my girlfriends. We reminisced about old times of spying, laughing, drive-bys, and just what every girl does. It was fun and so good to see them!

I hung out with this beauty!
My mom.
Love her!! We went shopping, ran errands, and chatted.

Chatted with my dad! It was much needed and I'm so glad I got to see him!
It is so cute to see him with this baby girl!
He loves her so much!

Saw grandparents whom I love! (grandpa not pictured.)

and hung out with my brothers who are hilarious!

I teared up saying goodbye to my family.
It was hard, but I am glad to be home with Cason!
I missed him dearly!
It was a great vacation, and I still miss you family! Wanna come now??
