My cute mom is such a good sport!!

This is my sister and I. We are covered in DIRT!!

This is me and my mom and sister at the top of the mtn taking a break for a while. This was a emotional trip for me. We had just dropped my brother off at the MTC and found out my mom had a brain tumor. We decided to take this trip right before my mom's surgery.

Mardene's surprise party!!

We had so much fun last night!! We went to Maddox in Brigham City to help celebrate Mardene's 85th birthday!! Earlier in the day Jenni had asked her if she wanted to go to dinner. When they got in the car and headed south she knew something was up! The entire room was filled with people there to support Mardene. She has been like a grandma to us since Grandma and Grandpa Hall died when we were so young. I think that we all had quite a good time!! WE LOVE YOU DEENIE...

Nu-skin machine

Hey tomorrow I am going to my friends house in Orem to use a machine that Nu-skin has brought out. It tightens your face and takes away wrinkles. My friend said that her friend used it and lost 1 1/2 inches off of her arm alone. If you want to go I need to know by tonight so the lady can bring enough of the product. They will be selling the machines tomorrow at her home. Call me asap if you want to come with me and some of my friends!

LOVE YA'LL

SCARY!!!

So last year I got totally taken to the cleaners when I needed to replace my windshield. I found this place today that have the best prices in SLC.

I checked everywhere around but this place beat everywhere else. I pulled up and nearly drove away when I saw the tin roof but everyone was going there... Just FYI they did a great job if you need a windshield!!!

Mady Morgan Originals

Hey I found this cute little jewelry company that I am loving. I am going to have a party for her sometime but I will let you know when. I love it cuz its super cheap too!! Yahoo!! Check it out!
www.Madymorgan.com
I found her at the Thanksgiving Point farmers market. She participates in the Downtown Farmers market as well.

Email forward that I received! I love it!!

One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport.
We were driving in the right lane when suddenly
A car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us.
My taxi driver slammed on his breaks,
Skidded, and missed the other car by just inches!
The driver of the other car whipped
His head around and started yelling at us.
My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy.
And I mean he was really friendly.
So I asked, 'Why did you just do that?
This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!'
This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call
'The Law of the Garbage Truck.'
He explained that many people are like garbage trucks.
They run around full of garbage,
Full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment.
As their garbage piles up, they need
A place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you.
Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave,
Wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage
And spread it to other people at work,
At home, or on the streets.
The bottom line is that successful people do not let
Garbage trucks take over their day.
Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
So... 'Love the people who treat you right.
Pray for the ones who don't.'
Life is ten percent what you make it and
Ninety percent how you take it!

Thats what he made

Okay so the other night when I mentioned Mitchie never made dinner, this is what I came home to... Isnt it cute? Good job Mitch

OOPS!!!!!!!!!

So last night I casually mentioned to Mitch that he hasnt made dinner since we got married... I didn't think much more of it but when I got home today from Nordy's I WAS BLOWN AWAY...

Way to go Mitch! It was so cute to see how proud he was of it too!

1. I Love.......... learning how to do something new. I am slowly turning into my mother. The other day I was home alone, well I had Hunter too but I got bored so I decided to learn how to decorate. My mom usually takes a couple of bucks and retransforms a room. Its like a obsession for her. So, I bought some paint and brushes and went to town.

2. I am obsessed with........... making sure that people are comfortable and taken care of. It almost drives me nuts sometimes because I will worry about something way more than I should instead of taking time for me.

3. I work.......... way too much. It is a obsession as well. I live at my job with my girls. It is very rewarding though.

4. I can play.......... hand and foot until I cant see straight anymore... I havent done it forever though. I used to play with Cleggs like every weekend. We need to have another game night!!

5. I am with....... Mitchell, the love of my life. Who ever said the first year was cake was lying, I put him through so much!! Thanks for being so understanding all the time! Your so good!

6. I should have my own........ carmel apple shop. I dont really like them very much but my family makes them just like Rocky Mtn chocolate factory and its become a little obsession in perfecting them!
