Birthday fun

We helped Brett celebrate his birthday on Saturday. We also got a chance to meet up with some old friends we hadn't seen in years.

Spring must be around the corner!

No that's not a small dog or a wig. Spring on the horizon means one thing: SHEDDING TIME!! Bear is really shedding like mad. This is from only about 10 minutes of brushing!

Guess it's time time schedule a SHAVE party with Virginia and Woody!!

Good Things Utah

On Tuesday we got to go see a live taping of GOOD THINGS UTAH. It was a lot of fun. They did a craft segmant with Robert's Craft, a cooked Japanese Pan Noodles with Noodles & Co and we got to see David Osmond sing live.

Thanks Steph, Angie & Erica for coming with me! Angie has the group photo of us with the hosts so once she send it, I'll post it.

David Osmond from American Idol sang live. I honestly think the only reason he was kicked off A.I. is because the judges thought since he was an "OSMOND" he could probably get his own record deal. He had a really great voice. And was easy on the eyes too!!

How funny are these? Totally cheesy I know!

Product endorsement

It was a total impulse buy, but at just $9.99 who doesn't want softer feet?

I was a little nervous about using a "cheese grater" on my heels...but I must say...I'M SOLD!

Valentine's Day

Chris and I got all dolled up and went to the Joy Luck for dinner. We shared a bottle of wine and enjoyed a lot of great food. We ended up taking Anna with us since we didn't have a sitter, but luckily Chris was able to reserve a booth so she did quite well. After dinner we came home and enjoyed some fresh strawberry shortcake.

Beautiful flowers Chris brought home for me

Dessert! It tasted better than the picture looks!

Remind me that she's only 2!

Chris and I do the 30 Day Shred DVD a couple of times a week and Anna always gets in on the action.

Anna pushes a stool over and climbs up in the pantry to get herself a snack

She also thinks the dogs deserve a snack
Tea for Two

Showing off her "big girl panties"Yeah potty training, not so easy. She lasted about 20 minutes in these before having an accident on the kitchen floor.

One resolution gone...

After 38 days...I gave in. AND IT WAS SO GOOD!!!

Super Bowl Sunday

So much food! So many kids! And so much fun!

Thanks Big Chris & Erica for having us over!

Angie brought this game where the elephants nose shoots out butterflies, and the kids try and catch them with nets. Anna loved it!

I had to post this picture because this dog is so funny. Big Chris calls Daisy his "bird dog". Here's Daisy attacking a duck...THAT'S BIGGER THAN SHE IS!!
