BOB THAT HEAD.......







Last night, my best friend Ashley and I got to go to Rascal Flatts!!!! It was such a blast!!! They put on such a good concert. Jessica Simpson opened for them... She was alright.... I just couldn't figure out why home-girl wore stilletos (sp?) instead of cowboy boots. Oh well.




So I still REALLY struggle with the camera and I totally forgot it!!! But I did have my cell phone - so here are some pics from my phone but they do not do it justice at all!!! Thanks Ash for coming with me!! Thanks Daniel for taking Garrett, I love you!!






P.S. There was this guy there that had on cut off daisy duke shorts - Just like Jessica Simpson's!!! No Joke, it was hilarious!!!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

This Valentine's Day Daniel and I had the chance to spend with my niece, Clara and my nephew, Chase. My sister in law, Erin had the great idea to suprise my brother, Brian with tickets to the Blue Man Group in Las Vegas and she needed someone to watch their kids. So Valentine's Day morning Daniel and I headed down to Lehi to start our adventure. They left at about 10:30 a.m. and left us with their 2 kids, 2 cats (Pumpkin & Mokey) and 1 dog (Princess Leia). Chase got some legos for Valentine's Day that he LOVED!!! Clara got some books and some puzzles that she loved too!! No pictures of the book reading because we read them right before her nap but I will have you know that we read each of those books at least 5 times!!! It was so fun!

Chase's Lego's:



Nap time for Everyone!!: (Except Chase who was still playing with his legos, oh and Daniel - Thank you so much for playing with him!!)















Chase, Princess Leia & Garrett Watching Daniel play the wii:






Bri & Erin.... We are so glad that you guys had a good time!!! Your kids missed you guys sooo much, but we are more than happy to watch them anytime!!!

The other day Daniel and I were heading somewhere and Garrett was playing with this toy ring. Somehow it got stuck on his nose and seriously for like 10 minutes he was looking everywhere for it. He kept looking at us to help him. It was so funny!!!

Draper Temple


Yesterday Daniel and I had the amazing opportunity to help volunteer at the Open House of the Draper Temple. The first shift we helped usher in the temple which was an incredible experience. It is so amazing to me how you completely forget about your problems and stresses when you are in the temple. I love it! The second shift we helped over at the Stake Center with the refreshments and water. It was astonishing the way they had it all set up - you couldnt even tell it was the cultural hall. Anyone that has a chance to either help or go through the tour I would very highly recommend it!
