Silly at Sundance

My friend Ty had a movie showing at the Sundance Film Festival so my friends Danielle, Kristin and I thought that was just the perfect excuse we needed to get out of Provo and head up to experience all the festivities that Sundance has to offer.  I thought this picture was funny because we were trying to act like we were famous! It kind of worked though because someone asked us if we were on The Hills!  We are now answering to the names of Audrina and Whitney just in case anyone is wondering! 

We ate at this really yummy restaurant right on Main Street.  Nachos are always good no matter what time of night it is! 

This is my friend Ty!  His party was so fun and it was fun to see part of his documentary.  It was awesome!  Did I mention Tapango was there....remember her from Boy Meets World?  That was a freaky trip back in time!  

It was also fun to walk Main Street because there was such a fun energy in the air! I love watching people and meeting new people and I had such a good time with my girlies!  I love Utah! Seriously sometimes I have to pinch myself because it is just the most amazing place ever!

Christmas with the family

It's so fun to celebrate Christmas with kids.  They bring out the excitement and the anticipation of the holiday that gets lost the older you get.  It was so fun seeing Shelby and Dalton open their gifts that santa had brought them.  I loved every minute of it!

I can't believe how old Dalton is getting! Look at him all tough in his beany, listening to music on his new IPod as he plays a video game!  

We were all so sick of turkey, chicken and ham so we decided to have a christmas mexican feast!  It was so good I think it might become our new family tradition!

I love my family sooo much! This holiday season I am so grateful to have them in my life.  We had such a good time eating, watching movies and playing games that we didn't even mind getting snowed in! 

Kim's Birthday

There have been SO many birthdays lately and I LOVE it because it gives everyone the best excuse to go eat yummy food and have tons of fun together!  My friend Kim is just the sweetest girl ever!  I am really lucky to have found such a great group of girlies!  So, Happy Birthday Kim! We love you!

Baby Shower!

My cute friend Kristen Overton is having a baby girl!  If this little girl is anything like her mama she is going to be the most stylish baby ever!  Her shower was gorgeous and the food was gourmet and the presents were adorable!  The best part was getting to catch up with Kristen and also my cute friend Tiffany Moody who I haven't seen in forever!  So, as of today Kristen is due in like a week!  I can't wait to see this little girl!!!

My July Gems!

I LOVE the girls in my family.  I love the boys too but let's be honest, in my family the girls run the show!  Sorry fellas! :)  We have a lot of July birthdays in our family so we decided to have a little July birthday get together. (Any excuse for cake!)  I'm the only Capricorn in the family and all these Cancers really do spice things up!  I love how there is never a dull moment with them.  They truly bring such life, energy and laughter into my life.  It was so fun to get together and celebrate there birthdays! 

These two crazy kids can't seem to get enough of each other.

Dido for this pair!

My brother stopped by to join in the fun!  He is one of my best friends and he always makes me laugh!

Capturing this moment of Shelby brought back so many memories of when I was little and would visit grandma's house.  My grandma lived all over the world and collected the most amazing treasures!  I actually remember playing with the same things, and like Shelby, getting in trouble!  I still remember the phrase used over and over again, "Don't touch that! That's not a toy!"  Comforting to know things haven't changed much! :)

Jungle Fever

I wish I had a before picture of what this room use to look like.  It was Shelby's room and it was any little girls dream room, heck I wanted it as my room!  The walls were pink and it was filled with anything and everything pink with an eclectic, shabby chic twist.  Even though I do miss the pink paradise I love how she transformed the space into this jiving jungle theme.  We got most of the stuff at pottery barn and west elm.  They have the cutest stuff online and the prices are great.  I especially love the chandelier from west elm.  I think I might have to copy her and get one for mi casa! 

Garrett Otto Hoopes has arrived!

My sis had her baby May 24th.  We went to the hospital to visit her and the second I saw little Garrett I just fell in love with him!

I think he has more hair then I do!  

They are just the cutest little family.  I love them so much!

I honestly haven't seen my mom this happy since....Shelby was born.  Gotta love the Grandma's!
