Carrabas

Last night we
went to Dayna's gymnastics meet and then we went to Carrabas after. It was
delicious and did not disappoint. We had a good time and baby Sydney was
there too! It was fun. And it's a good thing that Jase and Spencer
are okay with us being loud because there was lots of loud laughter. And
of course Stacie told the great story of the little girl that ate popcorn off of
the FLOOR. Here is the story:
So Stacie, while we were at the gymnastics meet, was
eating one of those small buckets of popcorn and there was this
little girl about 5 years old sitting in front of us. And she was staring
and Stacie and Haley eat this popcorn. Literally staring! And so
finally Stacie gave her some and it her took her like 5 minutes to finally eat
it. This was all very entertaining for us. Anyhow, something bumped
Stacie and her popcorn fell all over the floor and under the seats in front of
where this little girl and her family was sitting. So seriously within a
couple of minutes this little girl is on the ground eating the popcorn off of
the floor. OFF OF THE FLOOR! We couldn't believe it. And then
when the mom finally noticed what she was doing (it took like 5 minutes) all she
did was look at the girl and say, "Ew yuck" That is it! She didn't
stop her. We were dying. So to all you mothers out there and future
mothers...don't let your children eat another person's food off of the
floor! Does this child get fed?
But it was a
good night overall and Dayna scored a 9.8 or higher on beam, floor and
vault!

Patty Cake Patty Cake


Here is a video of my adorable nephew. I can't get enough of how sticken cute he is!

Colbie Caillat




So my roommate had an extra ticket to the Colbie Caillat concert in Salt Lake and so she took me! Thanks Ace! It was at the Venue and a lot of fun. If you have ever been there you understand when I say it isn't the most glamorous place and I was standing under a drip from the roof. Kind of funny. But we had a good time and Colbie is AMAZING live. She sounds exactly like she does on her cd's. I loved it. And sorry about the video and how shaky it is in the beginning. And in the middle of the song, some tall lady decided to stand up right in front of me and Ace and Ace is only 4'11. I was like you have got to be kidding me. So I had to cut the video short. But "Realize" is my favorite of hers. And she has some new songs coming out soon which I am really excited for.

Fun Filled Weekend


Spencer and I went up to Gateway last night and ate an incredible Italian restaurant called Biaggia's. I think that is how you spell it. Anyways, we then did some shopping and bought my brother who is on his mission some basketball shorts and a tshirt for p-day. And Spencer got a new shirt at Gap. I have to admit it looks good on him. WE had a good time. And we realized that we have really different taste in music while we driving up to Salt Lake. I don't think we have more than 5 common artists between our two ipods. Kind of funny. For Valentine's Day, we went up to my Grandma's in Draper and the 3 of us ate at Geckos. My Grandma loved him and even called me the next day to tell me again how much she thought of him and how nice he was. Gotta love her. I am not saying he is the one yet but it's pretty dang close! He is by far the best guy I have ever dated.

Michael Buble


I would definetly not call myself a hugh Michael Buble fan but the other day I heard my roommate Ace playing one of his new song in her room. It is called "Lost" and it is so amazing. I try to not listen to it to much so I don't get sick of it....but I can't help it. I think I have already listened to it 4 or 5 times today and it is only 4:23 in the afternoon. And let's be honest. He isn't the worst to look at.

Famous Amos Cookies began over 30 years ago when a true cookie lover baked cookies in his home to share with friends. That first batch of cookies was perfected to create the ultimate chocolate chip cookie. With a commitment to use only the best ingredients, like rich chocolate and flavorful nuts, Famous Amos soon earned a reputation for homemade taste.
Today, Famous Amos Cookies still meet the high expectations of discerning cookie lovers. Mouth watering Ambrosia chips, rich peanut butter, pecans, walnuts, raisins and other ingredients makes Famous Amos a favorite among cookie connoisseurs.





I have officially decided as of a couple of days ago...that Famous Amos cookies are absolutely amazing and they are my 2nd favorite cookie! Following oreos. I truly believe I can eat one box in one sitting completely on my own. Of course I would never do that, but I certainly could.
