Flashback for a Friday

So I found this awesome video and I figured the five of you that read my blog would appreciate it. Happy Friday!

A Day at the Park

During the summer months we get together with my family, my aunts, uncle, cousins, the whole fam damily as my grandma would say. My dad came up with the idea to go to Copperton park at least once a month as a family. We barbecue, play horseshoes, swing and have races down the slides. We have a blast and the little kids love playing with their cousins. Our last time there was in June and we had a great time.


That is my dad, the biggest kid of them all.

Birthday continued...

I know it has been two weeks since my birthday but I forgot some details for the best birthday in years!

Wednesday the 29th me, Adam and our families all got together at Leatherby's for some over the top delicous ice cream.


Thursday night the birthday festivities continued unbeknownst to me. I was supposed to have a presidency meeting that night but things kept going wrong and I was wondering what in the world was going on that day. I showed up at my friend Maggie's house where the meeting was supposed to be and when she opened the door "SURPRISE!" My counselors were there along with Adam and my secretaries husband. My secretarie's birthday was that Friday so we had a double surprise party. There were home-made cupcakes, brownies, ice cream, balloons and lots of Coke, my favorite! (the drink) Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures...sad.

I had a fantastic birthday this year and it is all thanks to my many wonderful friends and family members!

Thank you

It boils the blood

Ok so I am sure many of you remember the song "We Like to Party (Venga Bus)" and if you don't consider yourself lucky.

 I think it was circa 1998 or 1999.

I was in Junior High and I remember that this song was played EVERYWHERE.

So the reason for this post is because lately they have been playing this song on the radio again and for some reason I can feel my blood pressure rise as soon as that first horn honks.

I. HATE. THIS. SONG.

Even though it may cause me to have a coronary I am going to share the evil that is this song....enjoy and happy Monday!

Someone had a birthday I wonder who?

Is it Narcissistic to talk about your own birthday?

June 28th was my 26th birthday, I am now one year closer to 30, I am not sure how I feel about that.

I had one of the most fantastic birthdays in a long time!!

I had to work during the day but my awesome friend Maggie brought me a super duper yummy cupcake from The Sweet Tooth Fairy. If you haven't been go now!

After work it was time for presents and then off to dinner with the hubby!
Famous Dave's is usually hit or miss for us but they must have known it was my birthday because it was soooo good! After dinner we saw The Green Lantern, it wasn't bad.
When we returned home that evening this is what we found

My young women had an activity to find modest clothing at the D.I. when they were done they decided to come decorate my house, which was awesome on it's own but to top it off they left me that "lovely" dress that they found out shopping. I told them I would wear it but it has been a little warm lately and the shoulder pads might make it a little hot.

Youth Conference 2011

A couple weekends ago I went with a bunch of Young Men and Young Women to Fairview for a few days of fun! There were a lot of stressful days leading up to it and lots of wondering if we could pull it off, but guess what? It was fantastic! We camped, ate, played games and enjoyed the Manti Pageant. Let's just say I was exhausted for about two weeks after but everyone had a fantastic time so it was so worth it! I think I will call my first Youth Conference as a leader a success.
