I totally went to Paris

I went with these crazy people and it was so much fun!!! We left on a Wednesday and came back Tuesday. We fly stand by so on the way there everyone got business class but me and so I was stuck next to a Rastafarian man in dreads that was watching inappropriate things on his laptop during the 9 hour flight and he for sure made me feel uncomfortable. It was all worth it though because we had so much fun together. I went with my mother in law and three of my sister in laws. We stayed in a Villa by Disneyland and it was so nice. It was like a town home we had three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a dining room, kitchen, laundry room and a back yard. It really was so nice and even though I really have no desire to go back because the people there are just so put out by Americans being there I am still so happy that I was able to go. We tried to do the whole frowning picture but obviously I can not do it and Nikki could not stop laughing to do it.Melissa was so good and it and the lady next her is a perfect picture of how the people of Paris looked at us. They did not like us that is for sure because we were loud everywhere we went and we actually smiled which they don't like to do I guess.We rode the subway everywhere and it was such a party. It was always us goofing off and my mother in law trying to figure out where we were going.The trip home was a little more interesting. I was able to fly business from Paris to Cincinnati which was awesome because they feed you a five course meal and the seats go back all the way so you get to lay down. When we got to Cincinnati we were not able to get on a flight there so we flew to Los Angeles and could not make a flight there so then we flew to Las Vegas. We thought we were going home from there and we were so ready and excited because we had been traveling for like 36 hours at this point and then when we went to get on the plane they would not let us on so we had to stay at the hooters hotel that night. We got to bed at 10:00 p.m. and then woke up at 4:00 a.m. to catch a 6:30 a.m. flight which of course only Kari made it and by this time we were so done. There was crying involved this time because we were so tired and just exhausted so we just decided to buy tickets to get home and I am so grateful we did. When I got to the airport Jeff was waiting by the bags with Guido and I was so excited to see them and then we I got home my house was clean and I found this little note waiting for me. I will be posting more of my pics later.

Baby Shower

This cute couple is going to be having a baby in a little while and I was so excited when I got the chance to throw them a baby shower. I am a virgin to the baby shower throwing so I was a little nervous that no one would have fun or court would be totally disappointed because after all she has been working hard to make this baby so she deserves a good party. I wanted to do a Jeep themed party because Court loves Jeeps but that is hard to do because I could not find anything so I finally just decided to do the colors green and blue and then add a little touch of Jeep where ever I could. This is the diaper cake that I made. They are a little harder then they look but it was so fun finally being able to make one because I have always wanted to make one. On a side note I bought 3 packages of newborn diapers and if I would of bought them without coupons then they would of cost $13.00 a piece but I used coupons and I was able to get them for $4.00 a piece. That was a steal of a deal and I was so excited about it.I went to Orson Gygi to see if I could find a Jeep cookie cutter but they just don't exist so instead I bought a pack of 101 cookie cutters and I am glad that I did because I just decided to use all of the boyish cutters. There were trains, firetrucks, dinosaurs, ducks, sports things and animals. I bought these vases and jars from the D.I. for $0.50 - $1.00 a piece. I was excited that they had so many different ones there and for such a great price.This is the finished product minis the chicken salad sandwiches, mini cheesecakes and the yummy drink that I made. I made those tissue baby decorations and they are not my favorite thing but they turned out decent.I found the idea for these cups on a blog and I thought it was so cute so I had to do it. They looked better in person then in pictures.My husband and Bert pretending to be a baby and mommy nursing. They are so cool!!
I love this picture they were trying to look like a happy couple with their baby but I think it turned out cute. This is baby Hadley and she belongs to Jake and Danica. She is the cutest thing I have ever seen and even though I let Amber think she is Hadleys favorite, Hadley and I really know whats up and we are BFF!!
Allen and Britt they will be married in less then a month. So excited for them!!

Jake and Dani. She looks so good and she just had a baby hopefully I get that lucky when it is my turn.

The party was a lot of fun and I am so happy that I was able to do it and that everything worked out the way it was planned.

My second race

This post is so late but I have a lot of catching up to do. I ran another race back in like August. It was a lot of fun and a little more official this time because I actually registered and I was a part of it this time. It was along the Jordan River parkway more in like South Jordan area I think :) It was really pretty and it was nice to have a trail and not just run on the street like my last race. I did pretty much the same time as last time (29 min) but this time I only stopped once and it was for maybe 6 seconds because this guy ran up behind me and said "you are almost there you cant stop now" so I just took off and beat him in the race hee hee. Jeff came straight from work and I brought Guido with me so they could cheer me on. It was a lot of fun and I am excited to do more races and I even have a love for running now and I never ever thought that would happen.
