Sandy's Shower

My sister Sandy is having a baby and I seriously couldn't be more excited to have another nephew join the family! My sister is due Sept 1 and I can't wait to meet her little man! A couple weekends ago my family got together and threw a baby shower to help my sister get ready for the baby. I should've taken some pictures of the cute nursery that she has put together. It's adorable. Here are some pictures from the shower...

Sandy's diaper cake- turned out so cute!

Look what the cat brought in...

So yesterday afternoon I walked into my kitchen like any other normal day and saw my dog Bentley trying to play with something... I looked down and there was a SNAKE in my kitchen! I literally probably walked only 6 inches away from it. Talk about creepy!

It was about 15-18 inches.
At first we thought that maybe it just somehow climbed up our deck and through our dog down, but after Philip picked it up to take it outside we noticed it was bleeding from none other than our cat Trouble. I can tell you I'm pretty sure we'll never complain about the mice she brings in. I can also tell you that if you're planning on naming an animal Trouble, DON'T! It stays with them their whole life and if they are anything like our cat they will definitely live up to the name.

Sneak peek!

Next weekend we're throwing my older sister Sandy a safari themed baby shower. Being the amazing sister that I am, I made a cute banner to go along with all the decorations for the party. Hope everyone likes it. This isn't the best picture, but it will have to do. I couldn't fit the whole thing in a picture otherwise.

P.S. It will be hanging on a string-banner style- at the shower. Right now I'm just letting all the glue dry until I put it on the string. I'll post pictures of it hanging up after the shower.

Busy as can be..



Ever since we came home from DC we have been crazy busy! So crazy in fact we still haven't had a chance to celebrate our anniversary with just us.. Hopefully in a couple weekends we can make our way to the Zermatt in Midway. I definitely can't wait to have a sweet but short staycation with Philip and to practice our golf skills! Here's what we've been up to lately..
Trouble is never too busy to take a  nap and make sure she is getting in some quality cat nap time.

My best friend since jr. high Adam
 A few weekends ago we had our friends over for a BBQ and had a great time. I didn't pull out the camera until the night was almost over so I don't have that many pictures, but I am just so thankful for the awesome friends we have. Seriously we are so incredibly lucky to have them in our life. Love you guys!

Have a mentioned that we have season tickets to Real Salt Lake? Pretty sure I have a million times, but this Summer we have been crazy busy going to games almost every weekend and sometimes during the week too. I couldn't ask for a better way to spend our time though.



 

 So last Saturday we decided to take a trip to Park City with my mom in tow. It was a blast! We did a lot of shopping, ate at one of our favorite restaurants Baja Cantina, and did some sight seeing of course. I once again didn't pull the camera out until the very end. A few years back my mom and I took a trip to Park City and decided to stop in a random cemetery. I don't know why but I've always liked to stop in random cemeteries just to check them out.. Creepy maybe, but I kind of like it. Anyway the first time my mom and I went into the cemetery in Park City and saw this headstone. It says "Remember man as you pass by, As you are now so once was I, As I am now you shall be, Prepare for death and follow me." Yikes! How creepy is that?






Of course this 4th of July proved to be just as busy and crazy as  usual. We started the day of with going to the parade and park with my family. I love traditions and my family has gone to this parade for as long as I can remember. It is so fun now to see my nieces and nephew grow up in the same traditions. Plus it's a total bonus to have a bunch of cute kids around so Philip and I can snag all the candy we want. After all the fun we packed up and went to the Real game. Now can I just tell you how awful the officiating in this game was? It was a nightmare! It didn't take away from our fun night though. After the game they retired Jason Kreis' jersey. He is now our coach, but used to be a player. This has never been done in MLS before so it was pretty cool to be a part of the ceremony.

 










After we waited around for the fireworks to start and snapped some pictures. So glad that Philip loves sports as much as I do and still loves me even with my RSL obsession.



Okay so apparently even though RSL knows how to play soccer, they don't so much know how to throw a firework show. This is the worst one I've seen in my many years of being a fan and going to these games. So before their show was even over we ran to the car to listen to the post-game show and to find some other fireworks.


 


I'm convinced this should be a root beer ad


We made it out to Layton, pulled of the freeway and had an awesome view of the fireworks show. We look a bit ridiculous trying to take some pictures with fireworks in the background, but we managed. I know we are crazy-busy and sometimes we get so worn down we wonder how we're going to make it to the next time we are able to relax I don't think either of us would want it any other way. If we weren't always on the run I'm sure we would get too comfortable being couch potatoes and well. I think the image speaks for yourself. Hopefully by next time I blog I'll have more pictures and by then hopefully we've celebrated our anniversary since we're almost a couple months out now. (0:

Last Saturday we had the luxury of spending all day with our nephew and niece. L.j. and Kenadee are such a blast to be around and I can't even tell you all the laughs Philip and I had all night. Especially just listening to their fun and quirky conversations. First we took them out to see our friends who just had a baby (which they loved) and then we took them to the Gateway so they could play in the water fountains there. The whole drive out to Salt Lake Kenadee kept asking if we were going to a waterpark and asking L.j. if he wanted to go to a waterpark. It was seriously hilarious! Although they were a bit apprehensive at first once the fountains started going they were having a blast! We loved taking them there and getting to see their smiles from ear to ear.



My camera died after these pictures, but we finished the night with some yummy dinner, delicious ice cream, and some fun playing the wii. Thanks Kenadee and L.j. for coming to stay the night with us. We had a blast and we love you tons! XoXo!

Bills bills bills...

The Sunday before payday I usually wind down the weekend by paying bills (how fun huh?). I typically hate paying bills and I usually get cranky with Philip (sorry babe), but yesterday I couldn't help but laugh. After pulling my hair and calculating all the numbers I looked right next to me and saw this..

Cracked me up that even Trouble gets worn out by me paying bills. I love this cat SO MUCH! There is not a single boring day with her in our lives.

Miss you pop...

Some of the best times I ever had were fishing with my pop... Wish we could still go today. Love you and miss you so much pop.
