SOOOOO FUN!!


K, so I just wanted to share this GREAT find with all my mommy, pool going friends!
I am ALWAYS searching for my keys. Seriously! I have lost my VW flip key plenty. It drives my ever so patient, sweet, GORGEOUS husband nuts!! I just had to order a new back so I could hook my car key back on my key ring and I am sooooooo happy I did. BUT, I have been looking for something cute/funky, i.e. sooooooo Kel for my keys, and look at what I found!! I saw this on Giveaway Today's Blog. It is from Sweetirie.blogspot.com. (link to her blog from her button right here on my blog.) I just ordered this set and CAN'T wait to get it! I was just going to order the key chain because I thought, how great! I can hook it in my diaper bag or purse, and wear it on my wrist while carrying Phin and holding Ele's hand to and from everywhere. But, then I saw the ever so cute change bag that hooks onto the key chain, and got really, really excited! I am soooooooooooo paranoid when we go to the pool in the summer that someone is going to steal my wallet. You have to take $$$ to get in and buy goodies for the kiddies, and I hate having cash just hanging around in my swim bag because like I mentioned before, I am GREAT at losing stuff! I think this will be perfect for my cash and cell to go in so I can leave my wallet locked in my car. I also just ordered one for my sweet sister Candace's birthday. Oh, and Tric, I have one coming to you too! HEEEHEEE!
I LOVE Etsy and finding cute yet functional stuff on there. I am actually starting my own Etsy site and will let you all know when it is up and going. I am very excited to try and sell some of my stuff!

WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!!

WOW!! We have had a very busy, crazy, yet AMAZING past weekend.
Ele had her very first Dance recital with Jive last Friday and Saturday. (posting pics later.) We had lots and lots of practices, dress rehearsal, and go go go!!!! Pretty hectic but WONDERFUL! She did awesome! Jac and I are very proud parents. She was patient, listened well, and just really enjoyed the whole experience. She LOVED being on stage and performing. And, I have to say, for an almost 4 year old, she did the dance pretty good!
Jac, my parents, my sweet grandma, and Jac's dad all came and watched her Friday night. We had some very proud grandparents. Ele got her first bouquet of flowers from her dad. Very sweet! They are on her armour in her bedroom. She is very proud of them.
Last Saturday was CRAZY! Jac had to shoot the Auto Expo. at Thanksgiving Pointe. So I was on my own with to and from with two kiddies! My super sweet parents took Phin for the afternoon so I could be the stage mom for the 2:00 performance and not have to deal with Terminator himself, and 13 screaming little girls at the same time! Thanks again mom and dad!! Phin was an angel for them. He LOVES his Gram and Bapa very much!
I had a TON of fun being with Ele and getting to be the "mommy" for her class before their performance. After the 2 pm show, Ele and I headed over to our sweet friend Tami's baby shower. Ele loved it! They had a really fun yard for her to play in, and I got to relax and enjoy some good friends before heading back for two more performances. We headed to my parents and picked up Monkey and headed back down to the recital. Ele was really excited to get to perform again and again! Monkey Do was tired, but being super patient and good.
After the Auto Expo, Jac headed up to Salt Lake for the AIGA 1\100 awards. His department at UVU were getting some awards. Well, to his surprise, my very AMAZING, TALENTED, OH SOOOOOOO GOOD LOOKING Budah, got 1 out of 10 awards!! It is called the Copper Ingot award. He got it for one of his shots for the UVU magazine he did a couple issues ago.
l am SOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of him!! He has worked so much, and so hard this past year. He TOTALLY deserved the award, and I think he is smiling a bit bigger today! Good Job Babe! We are soooooo proud of you! I am a bit sad I didn't get to be there to see him receive the award, BUT, I was sure excited to see my sweet little Ele dance her little heart out! She truly is our gorgeous glowing Blue! We love you Ele! She has a birthday coming up, and I can't believe my baby girl is going to be 4. WOW! Where does it go? I love you Blue. Good job dancin'! And, Phin, good boy sitting there through all the chaos! All in all, I am a very proud, happy, and glowing mom and wife. AND, Jac is also glowing because he will be getting his Motorcycle back from the shop after 7 LONG months of it getting chopped. I will be posting pics of it later too!
