My Cameron is just cute...

Today Cameron was riding around with Steve doing errands for work. Steve came home from Scout Camp just today to work. Steve was on the phone and Cameron grabbed his notebook off of his lap. Steve said "Bud what are you doing I am using that...?" Cameron said "Dad, hold on I have something important to write... I need to write down this DOT COM for Mom... It really will help her and save her time for Uncle Jarred's wedding. Then she can be with us more"...Steve looks over at what he is writing and he wrote "www.brideaccess.com".

Maybe that is an indication that I spend entirely to much time pretending that I am J-Lo in The Wedding Planner.

On my to-do list tomorrow...

1. Go walking with Stacy Benson (6:45am)
   
2. Go to Xpedex with Jarred & Rachelle for invitations (7:45am)
3. Go to Kinko's to meet with the Manager to print (9:30am)
4. Somewhere in there take a shower and get dressed

6. Call DJ, Flower Lady, Harpist?, Cake Lady Etc.
   
7. Help with Bridesmaid & flower girl dresses.
8. Oh ya by the looks of my body I have NEVER forgotten to eat either.
   
9. Go to Sundance to meet with Brandon the Event Coordinator there (1:00pm)
10. Did I mention that Sundance is ONE HOUR away?
11. Did I also mention that Sundance is ALSO ONE HOUR back?
    
12. Get Alyssa to Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs play practice - She tried out a couple of weeks ago and got the part of "Happy" (4:00pm)
13. Karate for me - I will really need it today (6:00pm)
14. Cameron & Alyssa are scrimmaging against each other with Murray Max Soccer at Grant (7:00pm) This will be fun to have them play a "friendly" game against each other.
    
15. I think somewhere in there we will eat dinner... I said I think.
    
16. I need to finish New Moon in the Twilight series. Maybe that should be number 1 not 15.
    

Wish me luck... With Steve up at Scout Camp... I am pretty sure that I have NO IDEA how it will all work tomorrow.

CONGRATULATIONS Jarred!!!!

Congratulations Jarred & Rachelle!

On July 21, 2008, while on a 16 mile hike my cute brother Jarred & Rachelle got engaged. I am seriously so excited. I really love Rachelle. She fits perfectly into our family. She is perfect for Jarred. They are so darling together. We have had so many fun times (trips, parties, dinners, late night talks etc.) with them together. They have been dating for about a year and a half.

Jarred decided that he wants to get married soon, so they are getting married on August 15th (yes 2008) at this point. I get to help plan a lot of it. I am so excited.

Congratulations Jarred & Rachelle!

My birthday...

First of all I LOVE birthdays! It doesn't matter whose it is... I just love them!
My Mom still treats me like I am 10 years old and spoils me ALL day. So here is how my birthday went... I woke up around 8:00am. Steve wishes me happy birthday and had to get to a meeting. The kids got up and climbed in bed with me (I love this about summer). Shawn got up and made me a plate of fruit (he even decorated the plate, cute).

My Dad text me to go to breakfast at McDonald's with him & my Mom (Remember I still get treated like a 10 year old). They gave me a skirt & shirt from Banana Republic (my Dad had picked it out). Then my Mom & I started on our shopping on our birthdays tradition.
We went to the mall to all the summer sales. I did get some fun stuff.

• a pair of cute jeans from Banana Republic (on sale $24.95)
• 2 short sleeved sweaters from Nordstrom (on sale $24.00)
  
• 2 tank top wrap around shirts from J-Crew (on sale $7.50)
• a dress from the cute Motif? store in Gardner Village

We went to lunch with Steve, my Mom, Jelissa, Josh & Tori at Cheesecake Factory... MMMmmm I really love that restaurant. Then more shopping.

We got home around 4:30pm. I got the kids all ready with cute clothes and cute hair and we met up at the Rio Grande Cafe. My whole family, my in laws, and Steve, me and the kids went. Everyone spoiled me.

• my Siblings gave me a cute Fossil travel purse with money in it to spend and cute J-Crew flip flops & a head band.
• my Father in law (Steve's real Dad) bought me an outfit from Old Navy... Is that the cutest most daring thing to buy your daughter in law an outfit. It is a little dress and shrug.
• my Mother in law & Father in law gave me money
• my Parents gave me money, a purse camera (so I can post more pictures), and some albums & frames to put my new pictures in... cute Memory Theme.
• my Kids went with Karen and spent their OWN money.
  
• The boys bought me COKE Jars for my kitchen, and a cooking with COKE cookbook... they were so excited they couldn't even stand it... CUTE CUTE CUTE!
• The girls bought me a little lantern like lamp in red.
  
• They of course all made me handmade cards.

Saturday Night - Steve took me to our favorite place to eat... FLEMINGS Steakhouse.
I love it there. After we walked around The Gateway. I just love to walk hand in hand and not have anywhere to go and nothing to do. It is the best... oh ya and you get to people watch.
Later that night is when Steve gave me my presents from him. I had told him lets just get couches for the theater so we can watch movies as a family finally so that is my main gift is we are going to get those but... he also went to the mall (his least favorite place) to get me an outfit... so he has bought me exercise clothes before or a shirt or something... but never an outfit... He went to Banana Republic and bought me the cutest Shirt & Skirt. The shirt is kind of a periwinkle with white polka dots and the skirt is white. I can't even tell you how proud and impressed I was with him. HE DID GREAT! He also bought me a little bag of goodies (more for him) at Victoria's Secret. HE LOVED THEM! I will spare you the pictures of that.

I received many, many, many gifts and calls and texts from all of you guys... you are the best!

All in all it was an AWESOME birthday... again I am 10 and I love my birthday.

A walk down memory lane!!

Heres a little game! Leave a comment on my blog of a memory that you and I have had together.
It doesn't matter if you've known me for a short time, or a long time, anything you remember! Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.
Ready, Set, GO!

Happy 34th Birthday to Me!!!

So I was asleep just now and Shawn came to wake me up...

"MOM, you just got your first birthday present for the day... Your friends are rolling around like army men and pretending to have guns and toilet papering our house"!

Dayna & Jami, you guys are the best. Thanks for the birthday present... I just love it.

And just because I didn't mention your name... I know who else was there too.

Love you guys!

PS - Do you want me to get you the left over roll of toilet paper on my porch
that you left... It is still on the roll!

Sleeping Kids on a Summer Morning...

I just checked on all of my kids and they are peacefully sleeping. I love to watch my kids sleep even when they are 12 and an inch and a half taller than me. I just love to sit wand watch them and wonder what they are dreaming about. I love to ask them about their dreams when they wake up. Even after a crazy day, when my kids have been crazy, I have been crazy etc etc Heavenly Father knew to give us time to watch our kids peacefully sleep. I just truly love it.
