Favorite Puzzle

When we were kids Grandpa Davis gave us this puzzle for Christmas. It was the only puzzle we ever did growing up. Or at least the only one I remember doing!One of my favorite Christmas memories is sitting around listening to Christmas music and working on this puzzle.  It has been years and years since we have put the whole thing together... so this year was the year! My kids are finally to an age where I was able to do it. Kyle, Hailee and I ... and Logan a little bit... did the puzzle in a couple hours. Bentley wanted to take credit too so he hopped in the picture!! It's missing a few pieces but it still looks good! I love this puzzle!!!

Justin

This was a highlight of my YEAR! Becca, Cami, Kendall and I saw Justin Timberlake at the Moda Center. It was absolutely amazing! This was a night I would like to relive over and over!!! 

BEE Happy

For the second Releif Society activity  that I planned, my commitee and I did a 'BEE Happy theme.' The Happy song was on the radio all the time and it got me in the mood to do something cheerful! We did a Cafe Rio style dinner where people volunteered to bring different fixins. We had three people speak briefly about different aspects of happiness- CHOOSING to be happy, taking time for your self and taking care of yourself, and Serving others. The three people that spoke did a fabulous job! Afterwards we did an activity where everyone shared something that makes them happy. Everyone brought an item to represent what that is. It was fun to see what everyone brought and it was a great way to get to know everyone better. I thought it turned out to be a fun, HAPPY night!

Mother's Day

It was a beautiful Mother's day. Logan got the boys ready for church- they looked so cute! Everyday I am SO thankful to be a Mom. I love my three boys more then anything in the whole world!!

San Diego

My friends and I went on a girls trip to San Diego! We were originally going to visit our Friend Lindsay who just moved to Vegas but we decided to meet up in San Diego instead. I had been there before but didn't remember it much. We had the best time ever. Seriously.

These seals were off the beach in La Jolla. It was so cool! The smell however, was NOT! I have never smelt something worse in my entire life! Even that is an understatement!

This totally reminded me of a Bachelor date... climbing through the rocks to the water. I had to snap a picture!

We ate lunch at the CUTEST place, called Cody's in La Jolla. YUMMY food too!

Del Coronado was my favorite by far. It was so gorgeous. The hotel was amazing too! We had lunch on the Sun Deck on the beach.

Pink and Red toes in the sand!

Hotel Del Coronado~ Gorgeous!

Shopping and dinner in the Gas Lamp District.
After dinner we rode around in a pedi-cab.  

On Sunday we spent the evening in Old Town. We had dinner at an authentic Mexican restaurant and went to the Mormon Battalion Historic site. 

Love the decor!!

Lindsay gave us each a rose! Such a fun group date, glad no one got sent home ;)

Ice Cream at the Ghirardelli  Ice Cream shop after dinner.

We went to Mission Beach for brunch. This was the best french toast I've ever had! I haven't stopped thinking about it since!

Kendall and I dropped our friends off at the airport and stayed one more day. We had the best time hanging out on the beach and riding these adorable pink bikes around Del Coronado!!!

I am so in love with San Diego! So much so, that I came home and booked another trip for me and Logan. June 25th~ I can't wait!!!

Lucky In Love

I was called to be in charge of the Relief Society Activities in my ward. For our first activity of the year we decided to do an activity all about LOVE. (Strengthening your relationship with your spouse and other loved ones.) It was February so I was in the mood for hearts!... But the activity was in March. SO I tied in the two and called it 'Lucky in Love.' I was happy with how it all came together.

Half of the tables had a 'Lucky' theme...

and the others had a 'LOVE' theme! Pink and green (and gold) were the colors. I am fond of that color combination (Those were my wedding colors.)

Since the activity was all about LOVE I interviewed a bunch of women in our ward and asked them questions about their spouse- how they met, and stuff like that. I also collected pictures of everyone with their spouse when they were dating. I think the movie turned out super cute. It took me a LONG LONG LONG time to make but I was happy with the outcome! Since we were watching a movie I thought it would be fun to have popcorn. 

Danielle made this cute popcorn and found the cutest popcorn containers. I was so excited! 

Since it was a LUCKY theme I figured we better have a few prizes!! For a handout we made scratch-its for each person and them attached to a bag of chocolate hearts. We had a few prizes, Lucky Charms and a couple boxes of chocolates. 

After the movie we had two people speak. Christy Dustin spoke on keeping the 'spark' alive in your marriage and Kendall spoke about the different Love languages. Both of them did awesome! It turned out to be a fun night!

Hillary's Cutie Pie Shower

 Kendall, Debbie and I hosted a baby shower for our good friend Hillary Gillespie. Since it was November we thought it would be fun to do a baking/pie theme. We pretty much just grabbed tons of stuff from our kitchens and used it to decorate. 

 Debbie- having so much shaving chocolate!

 We printed a bunch of these funny vintage pictures off the Internet.

 I love these friends of mine!!!!

 Hillary with her plate full of pie! Her little girl was born in January and she is adorable! So happy for her!
