How I Met Don!

How did you meet your significant other? Answer all the questions HONESTLY and re post as "How I met _____"

Online at LDSmingle.com Long story short I emailed him and three months later he emailed me back. It was worth the wait!

2.What was the first thought that went through your head when you met?
Well at our first meeting we went bowling, to a movie and dinner... we had tons to talk about and we had a blast. But when I got in the car and went home I honestly thought that I would never see him again.

Blue shirt and jeans and I believe it was sandals with socks! Yuck!

To All Star Lanes in Sandy for bowling and then the dollar theater in Sandy and saw Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, and went to dinner at Sam Pan. We fought over the onions.

Around a month... and then on the second date we held hands in the car and that is where it started.

Who Wouldn't Want One!?!?!?

Hello Everyone. I am so excited about this contest. They are giving away a Dyson Vacuum!!! I hope I am lucky enough to win. My mom got one about 2 years ago, they are AMAZING. They pick up everything. I hope you all will check it out. I know you all want one. :) Oh and here is the link.

Awesome Night!!!!

Hello everyone! So it is 12:30 and I got home about an hour ago from the Reba Kelly concert... it was wonderful! They were on stage the WHOLE TIME! They never left the stage, except for a moment when the changed their outfits once (really it was just their shirts) and then they came back out for the encore... not even a minute later. They sang for a whole 2 hours straight. They had their opening act as Melissa Peterman... Better know as Barbara Jean from the sitcom Reba. It was just a wonderful night. Thanks mom for the early b-day gift. It couldn't have been better. Girls nights are always the best, especially when they are with your best friend. I love you Mom! Here are a few pictures from the concert. Oh and by the way we were sitting in the section at the side of the stage... second row up, end seats! Really what could have been better?!?!?!

Mom and I at the concert.

Melissa Peterman being her crazy self.

Being even more crazy.

The two just getting on the stage.

Reba in all her glory. Isn't she beautiful!

Kelly towards the beginning. I have underestimated Kelly and what she can do. She is amazing with her voice. She can do runs and slides like you can't believe.

Kelly during the encore.

Together during the encore.

Reba during the encore.

Ending the show. It was sad to see them go, but great while it lasted.

This is Keith Stubbs, from 101.5 the eagle... You wouldn't picture him like this. He voice doesn't match his face, with what you imagine.

Another Great Contest!!!!

Thanks Jill for sending a shout out to all of us. I am way excited for this. A woman can never have too many purses. Handbag Planet is giving away a purse every hour on October 15th for 24 hours.

New Contest....

Ok so I know that I post a lot of non-family related posts, but this one is worth the while... Over on Momdot there are giving away a Bissel Carpet Cleaner. It runs now through the 9th of November.

I know I will be entering daily!

A Great Surprise!!!!

I am so excited! My mom called and asked what I was doing this Friday... well nothing really. I mean we plan on going to the Temple twice a month and this Friday we were planning on it... but what's up? My mom then said... give me a minute and I will call you back. Ok whatever. When she called back she said, "Ok well you are now busy on Friday." "Ok mom, what's up?" "I just got tickets for the Reba and Kelly Concert. In the section right by the side of the stage 9 rows up."

Anyway I am way excited. Thanks Mom!

I thought this was a great clip. One of the best things that celebrities have done so far. Take a moment and watch. Click here to watch. Or see the following:

The Utah State Fair

Our yearly tradition of going to State Fair was a blast this year. We go down the Big Yellow Slide. She is such a trooper.
Going through the children's work house... I think she was a little young for it, but it was still a blast. Does she not look beautiful?

There were white tigers new this year. What beautiful animals! Aubrey had a great time watching them.



Now you make think that the next two pictures are the same, but they aren't... we they kind of are. This one was taken this year...And this one last year. Something new to look forward to see.
