So I think this might officially be my favorite wipe case so far.

Catch Up

I have so much blogging to catch up! Ill start with this last Saturday. I was able to get together with my freshman year (only year!) college roommates for dinner. It was so awesome. I havn't seen these girls almost since Brady and I got married. One is pregnant and expecting a boy in September and the other 2 just returned from missions not too long ago. There were a few others who were not able to come on Saturday but I'll take what I can get, I LOVE these girls!! Yes, my hair is really darker than normal because about 3 hours before this picture was taken I was in the middle of a hair catastrophe!! It's a long story, if you haven't heard it and want to know about the workings of a serious miracle, ask me!

It is back to normal now :)

Girls, we need to get together more often!!

Taste Testing

So this afternoon for lunch I thought I would be a nice mom and give Lucy fruit for the first real time. Up until now she has been getting used to all her veggies, and she is loving them!So, while she was gobbling up her green beans like a champ, I kept telling her I had a treat for her. Applesauce. Boy was I wrong. This is what I got, I could not stop laughing (I hope that's not mean!).

St George

We just had the most fantastic weekend in St. George! Thanks to everyone who let us stay at their house, who fed us and made the whole weekend fabulous. Here are some of the highlights, there are a lot of pictures so buckle up.

Lucy girl playing with her friends!

Macey!

Haven!

Beckham!

Hallie!

All dressed up ready for the pool! (little did I know that less than 10 minutes later the carrots that she is being fed would be all over both of us and pool time would be over......)

After a seriously delicious dutch oven dinner, the boys tore it up with a wicked game of horseshoes, too bad none of them knew how to play very well so the games ended up taking like an hour. haha.

Tracy was cool enough to know about this little place so we decided to go out to lunch there.

the girls!

They also have these there. You think, oh it's just a regular cupcake. WRONG. They are the most amazing cupcakes ever. Here is the progression.

First you start off with your cupcake like this.

They are so good you must eat them with a fork so you can share them.
Then after only mere seconds they have evolved into this.

And less than a minute later ravenous wolves (ok, it was us) have gotten to them

and this is all that is left. Yum!

I jus chillin.

Lucy had her first adventures in the pool. She took to it a little bit
but was much more comfortable in the bathwater temp hot tub.

She loved swimming with Daddy!

We couldn't resist having Lucy take some pictures for her modeling portfolio. On Thursday night we got to see this guy at Tuachan.

I was so mad I forgot my camera!

I think he has got to be the most hilarious guy EVER.

Seeing him live was definitly worth it!

And lastly, who could ever have a bad weekend when you get to

get ready for the day in this bathroom?!

and this is only PART of it!

In case you were wondering, this is the CLOSET that Lucy took some naps in,

I think it is bigger than her room at home.

What a seriously amazing weekend. Much needed vacation, relaxation and of course

SUN!

I'm ready to go back right now.

Lucy's Loot

We went shopping to Old Navy for our date night last weekend. It was awesome. We got a cart and went around throwing whatever we thought was cute in there. I should have posted a picture but Lucy ended up with:

2 pairs of CUTE jeans for this winter

1 adorable swimsuit

1 short sleeve hoodie

3 little shirts

1 pair brown pants

1 pair cute shoes

1 white onesie
1 pair shorts

1 summer dress

That's all I can remember without going in her room and bothering her while she sleeps. Oh and I got a pair of flip flops! I think it's hilarious that Brady and I never even discussed whether or not the money would be for us or Lucy, it was just a given, all for Lucy! It's crazy how that happens.

The cashier didn't think our coupon was real, she looked at it, looked back at me and said, uh I've never seen a coupon for $75 dollars off, where did you get this? It was funny. But it worked and I even had a little gift card so we ended up paying $21 for all those goodies. A-mazing.

Also, Lucy has a new trick, check it out.

I'm such a big girl, I drink my prune juice all by myself and it makes my tummy feel better.

The Benefits

I guess playing video games does pay off. That's what Brady said shortly after being able to click on the fast bouncy ball that went across the screen once every 5 mintues in the Old Navy weekly online ad. If you are fast enough to click then your coupon for

75 dollars off 100 dollar purchase

pops up and you print it out. It was amazing. My husband is amazing. I had been sitting at the computer for a few minutes waiting for the ball when Lucy needed to get burritoed to go to sleep. I proceeded to instruct Brady on what to do if the ball came while I took the minute it takes to put Lucy down. Next thing I hear is, "Uh I got it". Unbelieveable. We printed it out and wa lah! A M A Z I N G coupon.

Every week Old Navy does their online ad where you literally have to hunt the ad for coupons. They are hidden all over, and every week it's different places and different coupons. I got on there at 7:00 and there were about 1500 of the 75 off 100 coupons left. That is in comparison to around 50,000 of their other coupons left. It updates you as the coupons get taken because they go like wildfire! By 7:20, all of the 75 off 100 coupons were gone!

I never thought we would really get one, well, slap me on the wrist for underestimating my incredible husband.

And, I'm gonna have to go with Brady on this one, finally the benefits of video games have shown themselves...

I can't wait to go shopping.

It wasn't me

I promise I didn't get into your jewelry Mommy............
