Baby Shower

My sister Elaine is having her baby in 4 weeks and I signed up to do the baby shower for her! Of course I knew 3 months in advance that I was doing it but didnt start planning it until a week before the shower so that was a crazy week! I am such a procrastinator! But in the end I loved the outcome and think it turned out really well! And the turn out was awesome! I also have to thank everyone that helped and brought stuff for me! You are awesome and I couldn't of done it without your help!!! I can't wait till she gets here! I am excited to actually become an aunt and spoil that little girl! And get some practice in between :] And thanks to Sam for taking some of the pics!!

The yummy cake!

How cute is she!!! She is due Sept 30!

The decorations! I love little onsies, they are soooo cute and tiny!

the party favors! Agian thank you Claire for the idea!

Playing the poopy diaper game! I was surprised at how many people have never heard of it so it turned out better than I thought it would and they all enjoyed it!

Opening the gifts...that little girl is already spoiled :]

I love my sisters!

And he's off....

Bear went to Havasupai this week with the Young Men and by the looks of this pic I wish I could of gone! I am really hoping that next year we can maybe go do this and cross something off my list of things I want to do! Well I hope I survive the next few days without Bear :]

Yesterday was a day that we actually went out and DID something instead of just staying home on Saturday. We did a little shopping at Kohls, went and visited my best friend(who is moving to Texas in August becuase her husband is in the army..sad) And then we ended up meeting up with Bear's brother and his wife for dinner! We went out to dinner to Carlos O Brians which I was actually able to enjoy! (thats a whole other entry...)

After dinner we headed over to Fiddle Stix! They have batting cages over there and I love going to the batting cages! Growing up my dad would always take us to the cages! I always wanted to play softball growing up but never got the guts to so this is as close as I will ever get :] It was also way cheap which was an added bonus...its only 1.25 for 20 pitches! At first I was pretty rusty but I finally got it again and got some pretty good hits in... We had a fun Saturday and thanks Chris & Lisa for coming out and playin!

Disneyland

This past week I was able to go on a mini vacation with Brooke. It was nice to get away for a few days and not having to worry about much :] And I was reminded of how much I just love Disneyland! Now I just have to get Bear to like it but I am not counting on that to happen any time soon....Maybe when we have kids? Thanks for letting me tag along :]

I am doing a baby shower for my sister in August and I am excited! I never volunteer to do things like this because

1) I am not creative by ANY means

2) I don't have the confidence

3) And if its not right it all goes back to me

but I am getting brave and I am doing it! Well I just did the baby shower invitation and I think it turned out really cute! She is having a baby girl and I really like the color theme of Black, lime green, and pink so that is how I themed the invitation. What do you guys think? What should I change? Dates not correct....still thinking of one.

Car Wash

We are having a car wash this Saturday June 6th from 9am-2pm at the Circle K on 83rd and Bell at the SW corner. Come and get your car washed and spread the word!


Car wash in memory of Jason Scaff, who passed away on April 26th 2009. He lost his battle with Leukemia 3 days after diagnosis. He was 29 years old and is survived by his wife Courtney and 3 young children. This car wash is to help ease the financial burden on his wife and kids.

Class of 2009

Today my youngest sister graduated from high school! I can't believe that she is already that old :] Time sure does go by fast... It also makes me feel old since I graduated back in 2003! Congrats Becca on graduating!

We didn't plan this at all but ended up wearing the same shirt...Note her cute little baby bump!

My little graduated sister...

Me and Becca...my mini me

The family after dinner at our usual Red Robin...Yummm

Its hard to say goodbye

It has been crazy busy since the last time I posted and it was also a hard month. We lost one of our good friends/neighbor. It all started on the day of my last post....He went to urgent care on that Sunday and then was transfered to the ER and within a few days he was diagnosed with Leukemia on Wednesday and passed away on Sunday. That had to have been one of the hardest weeks I have had to go through. He was only 29 years old and had a wife and 3 kids. Why him?

We seriously were blessed with the best neighbors anyone could ask for. When we needed something they were always there willing to help and they have the cutest kids in the world. We have been neighbors with them for about 4 years and became instant friends. When we were looking at other houses we talked them into looking with us so we could be neighbors becuase we wanted to be next to eachother. Him and Bear would be outside late at night just talking and joking around or helping eachother with their trucks. If they knew I was going to be home by myself due to Bear in the academy they would invite me for dinner and to hang out! It breaks my heart for his family as I couldn't even imagine going through that! Life really if fragile and that scares me. At times like these I am greatful for the Gospel and knowledge of the plan of salvation. We will miss Jason but will always remember the good times and he will forever be in our hearts. We love his family like they are a part of ours and I know we will always be a part of their lives and for that I am forever greatful!
