Hip-Hip-Hooray!










Hip,Hip,Hooray! Let's hear it for my brother oozing with talent....Brady and I had the opportunity to travel to Utah State to see Brandon's graphic design portfolio/art show. HOLY SMOKES, so worth the drive! I am so proud of him, he had worked his behind OFF! I was completely blown away at what he had put together. He seriously can do anything! The show was literally packed, great turnout you couldn't really move. The students displayed there portfolio's and had them on tables for people to browse and awe at. I looked at quite a few of them and I have to say Brandon's ROCKED!! He is just amazing. In fact someone that was at the show asked Brandon for a card and was already interested in offering him a job! I am sure that he will land an outstanding one! A big pat on the back to you Brandon.


Here is his own design and logo...This was really cool, suspended from the ceiling..picture of all students in graphic design.Brandon's at the bottom.....Created letterhead, company labeling. This company is an outdoor clothing & recreation brand.This was a label/logo he created for a friend that owns a company that does recording...and his last name is Rock.This is one of my favorites, a picture of Brandon, but the amazing part is he did this all by individual words and created his picture. Even around his eye's are words. Alot of the students snapped a picture and did words over it. Not my brother, talent at it's finest. All by hand.Another one of my fav's, each puzzle piece placed carefully. He has so many more and every single one is perfection.Standing room only.


You should be so proud of yourself, I know that we are! You are outstanding...Love you!

Thank You~I'm Drooling...




My sweet Goose Girls (whom I miss terribly) and I went out for a yummy goodbye dinner together. It was so much fun and great food! So great to share more laughter with these remarkable ladies. They gave me the CUTEST basket filled with fun goodies, I should have taken a picture of it but I was WAY to excited to rip into it! Among the darling yummy things was in my opinion the BEST cookbook I have ever owned...HANDSDOWN!!
Our Best Bites...
these darling mini pies in a jar...seriously...could they get any cuter?One of my fav's so far...Cilantro-Lime SteakI have already tried a dozen recipes so far, cooked out of it every night for the past couple weeks...Yummy breads, dips, calzones, cilantro-lime steak...everything is so delicious and pretty easy! This is a MUST HAVE for those who like good, fresh, interesting food. These scratch cupcakes with the most delicious whipped buttercream frosting are a little bit of heaven on earth...Thank you so very very much my girls for the great night and the treasured gifts...Everytime I open this book (which will be a lot) I will think of you gals .....


MMmmmwaahhhh, love you all so much!

Blessed.Our little Sprout.

Our new little sweet boy Greyson, was blessed on April 10th...It was such a great day, so wonderful to have all the family there with us to share this special day. Brady, as always did a great job, I think I was more nervous then he was. The blessing was just perfect, I am so thankful for a husband that holds the priesthood and what a blessing it is to be able to watch a father bless his new son. Of course I cried and was overwhelmed with the spirit, there is nothing in this world that is more precious then your sweet new babe being blessed.

Or-gan-ized!





Last week I finally made it to the project of Food Storage and Pantry organization. Ever since we moved my food storage has been in total disarray. Now I have a system of rotation and my pantry is just the way I want it. Labeled, clean, and everything at hand! Yeah...

Anthro Copycat...


So I was down at Anthropologie the other day browsing at the things that I couldn't buy :) I just love going down there to be in a fun, creative, inspiring place and I fell in LOVE with this necklace! It was $60, not too spendy but I thought, what the heck....I could probably make something close to this. And~I did. It could use a little more loops but I made it from Memory, I didn't google a picture of it until after it was complete.

The colors were so bright and fun...needed something to remind me of bright spring/summer..

So~ladies, what's the verdict?


Autobots...TRANSFORM!



















Brayden had such a great Birthday...I cannot believe that he is 4...Holy Smokes, where did the time go?!

He is such a joy and blessing in our lives and is always making us laugh. Continues to be all BOY...He was spoiled or should I say just overly loved :) As always he made a haul, transformers galore, games, toys and yes we got him a Wii. (i love the Wii)

This year he wanted a Transformer party and that is what he got! Bumblebee and all!

Thank you to all of our family and friends for making his day extra special!
