SYTYCD Season 5 Tour!!!

Jeff gave me tickets in August for my b-day. I can't believe how FAST the time flew by until the show was actually here!!
It was the perfect ending to a crazy, busy, very fun month. He picked me up from the Bijou Market and we headed up to West Valley for the Season 5 Tour of:



We had so much fun watching this show on tv together and fell in love with all of the top 10 dancers. So it was INCREDIBLE to see them live. The dancing was even more amazing in person and I couldn't have asked for a better night with my hubby!
I love this man.

We had some fun while we waited for the show to start:

Of course we had to end the night with a little dancing of our own:

Thanks, babe, for an incredible night.
And thanks Shawn & Abby for watching our kiddos. They loved spending time with you!

the Bijou Market was....

a SUCCESS!!!

My friend, Trista, and I shared a table. It was so fun to be there with a friend and to have someone to chat with during the down times.
(It also helps that her cupcakes are to die for. Seriously delicious.)



My sister was wonderful and put together this super cute poster of my products. It looked fabulous, but I couldn't get it out of the glare, so just trust me.
I loved how my little table came together...although it didn't stay this organized for long! Once the customers arrived it was one happening place!

The people were so fun and friendly, I had some visits from my boys, my hubby, my sister & nieces, and ran into a bunch of friends.

It also helped that my little flower clips sold like hotcakes and I completely sold out of womens hats! Yay!! It was great and I can't wait to do another show!!

Me and Trista at the end of the day!
(Thanks for the cupcake, Trista!! ...cookies in cream, all of you out there MUST try it!_

Getting Ready for Market...

Having 1 month to get ready for a boutique is crazy. I don't recommend it. I was up until 1 am almost every single day. Sundays were my one reprieve. Oh how I love Sundays.

However, I did have a wonderful, sweet, supportive hubby who helped me turn

this:

into THIS:

100 adorabley sweet crochet flower clips.

Whew...we made it!

Bubble Bath!

Somehow, I had forgotton how awesome bubble baths are. I was seriously slacking in my motherly duties, and have never added it to the grocery list...so I always forgot to buy it.

The last time we were at Walmart I happened to remember and West was SO excited to pick it out. We went home and had a bubble bath that night:

To say the boys loved it would be a complete understatement.

They didn't want to get out and had so much fun laughing and playing, splashing, and having bubble beards. It has been a MUST for every bath since. And I don't mind one bit.

A giveaway you say?

I signed up to do a giveaway with Bijou Market.

I didn't know I'd end up on one of Cjane's blogs. That's pretty cool. Having read her blog(s) for the past year...it was a fun surprise.

Here's a look at one of my new hats:

(Isn't my sister gorgeous?! She's going to kill me for posting this, but sisters are allowed to be annoying and brag. It's our right.)

Rock Climbing

We went climbing at Shar & Trav's.

They are both great climbers so it was AWESOME for them. They loved it:

Weston is super quick and Tave is on his way. :)

They also loved playing with the toy bins. We love hanging out at their place!

Movin on Up!

Tave has officially graduated from the highchair!
We bought another booster seat and he is at the table with us now.
He absolutely LOVES it and we do too.

Grandpa Great's visit

My Grandpa came to help out with Uncle Earl's recovery from back surgery.

We were able to visit them one day. It was so fun to hang out for a bit and see the boys with their Grandpa Great. They both loved him, but especially Tave. He started saying 'Granpa' really clearly during this trip. So fun!

The boys had fun playing with the toys, and Kyle, and kept sneaking into Earl's room to visit him. Weston calls him "his Grandpa on the bed"

Glad you could visit Grandpa, and we're so glad you're feeling better, Earl!

ps We missed you Gigi!!

Halloween Part 2

Shar & Trav invited us to their ward's Halloween dinner and trunk or treat! (Shawn & Abby are in the same ward, so it was perfect!)
We had tons of fun!
The kiddos were pros and knew just what to do. They liked playing in the back of the van and munching on candy as soon as they made the rounds. Cute little Mila slept the whole time.
Great food, great company, great night!
Ps. can you tell what Shawn & Abby dressed up as?

Halloween Part 1

We had a spooky, (not so) scary, creepy, crawly Halloween!

We had a yummy dinner of Monster Tacos the day before to get ready for our scary day (thanks Annie, for the idea!)

Then the day OF Halloween, we got all dressed up!

The boys LOVED getting dressed and played and laughed so hard at the other's costume.

Then we headed over to our neighborhood Trick or Treat party in the grassy field.

They had so much fun with their friends and learned very quickly how to Trick or Treat on their own!

Thanks, Sharla for putting this together. We had a blast!

Our nighttime activities soon to come!

Random October

We've all been sick off and on...so we've had a lot of days at home.

There have been some not so great moments, but most of the time we try have FUN and play!!

Here is some random cuteness I caught on camera:

Tave was very insistent that he wear his shoes and only a onesie. NO pants.

He looked so funny, West and I just laughed and laughed. Tave thought he was pretty cool!

Weston watched me wash my face one morning and decided he needed to as well.

So now I have a little partner while I get ready.

Pumpkin Carving!

We carved our pumpkins for family night!

Somehow Weston remembered that the only thing he wore for last year's carving was a diaper.

He absolutely insisted that diapers were the only thing for him and Tave to wear this year as well.

They are so funny!

Tave is really into 'feeling' things with his tongue. (should I be worried?!)

So he licked the pumpkin and West thought it'd be worth a try.

Funny funny boys!

They loved carving with dad and Weston thought the goop was AWESOME this year. He played with it during the entire carving, it was his pumpkin pie.

Tave, yeah, not so much. He hated it and if a single seed got on him he would scream. Oh I love sensory activities!

We had a blast and loved creating some holiday memories with our boys.

Daddy and dancing...

We all absolutely LOVE when Jeff gets home. (on school nights he gets home right before bed, hence the no-clothes)

The boys can't wait to tackle him and wrestle and play.

I am so grateful that I have a husband who is such a wonderful daddy. He truly loves our boys and enjoys playing as much as they do!

Diaper Dance

The boys love to run around in diapers before we get pjs on. This is a nightly occurrence.

They dance around for awhile and then they end up under the table....For some reason that is a fun place to play when you're not dressed!

Our little Linus

The boys blankies really are a part of our family.

The minute Tave has his, the fingers go in his mouth.

Oh we love our little boy!
