Sophie

Last week we had our baby kitty declawed, I took some pictures of her in her cone. It makes me so sad that she has to have that on, but Monday it's coming off!!!
Doesn't she just look so pitiful?

She is laying in the laundry basket with her big sister Lucy.

Sundance 2011

Last Friday Kaylene and I took the day off from work and headed to Park City Utah for the Sundance film festival . I couldn't believe the traffic up there and I am not used to driving in Park City and and before I knew it I had taken the wrong turn looking for parking and found myself trying to get onto Main street which is where I didn't want to be. There were pedestrians everywhere and trying to manuver my car on that tiny street was a challenge, but after a few minutes we found parking and were on our way to find us some stars.

This is a picture from the parking garage isn't it just beautiful up there?

I don't know if you can see but there are skiers on the mountain.

This is just an Alley that we walked through to get to Main Street. I thought it was cool!



When we first got there we texted our friend Emily to find out where she was and she let us know that she was standing across the street from Ryan Secrest. Oh kaylene and I booked it to get there to see him but when we got there we had just missed him by seconds. Dang It!!!

In this picture you can see them just taking all the camera equipment down and he is nowhere to be seen. Oh well.

So we stood there for a little while hoping he would come out but after about 30 of waiting and no Ryan we decided to head down the street and see if we could see anyone else.
Just a cute picture of my Kaylene!!!

We were walking past this pub when all of a sudden I notice Emily is getting an autograph from someone and I couldn't tell by the back of his head who it was. So after he passed they told me it was Paul Giamatti, Who is that you are asking? Well.. the only movie I know him from is Fred Clause he was the Santa in that movie. Kaylene said that she has seen him in alot more.

In this picture you can just see the back of his head there in front of Emily So after that Emily and her other friends went to catch a movie and Kaylene and I decided to go into this Visitors Info place to get WARM and to get a guide for Sundance and there Kaylene spotted J.K. Simmons. Again not sure who he was but Kaylene knew him. By now we had been there less than an hour and seen two famous people. We were so excited to get back out there and continue our day.

We got to the end of Main street and were crossing the street when all of a sudden we spotted a crowd and this cute man was signing autographs, I didn't know who he was but Kaylene really wanted me to go up to him to get his autograph. So I did. He was so nice. He asked me how my day was going and when I told him it was great he just said, that is what I like to hear. I am so happy your having a great time up here. It turned out to be Ben Foster, I don't know who he was but it was just fun to talk to him.
Here is some pictures of him, sorry the one is kinda blurry.


This is a picture from the bridge we were standing on looking for the famous. Beautiful Main Street.

Here are some more pictures of the people we spotted.

This Ladies name was Rachael. She must have been a model. Alot of her fans had pictures of her to sign, so I am thinkin Model.


This lady everyone knew but she just ran passed all of us, eating her cupcake.


Oh wait... that's me with my new haircut!!!

Then as we were making our way back up the street, Kaylene says mom I know that guy. I think it might be Rob Lowe. So we followed him(like the stalkers we are) and I caught the side of his face and told Kaylene that, thats not Rob Lowe that is Tim Daly from wings.(I was so excited i actually knew this one) We got pretty close and took these nice shots!

We weren't able to get any tickets for the films so we walked and walked and walked up and down Main steet. The weather was so beautiful, I have to honest in all the 28 years that I have lived here in Utah I have never been to Park City in the winter. I know shocking huh? But I am not a skier and I hate to be cold and lets face it when its cold down here in North Salt Lake it's even colder up there.

We had such a fun day, but when the sun started to go down so did the temps and I was to cold to stay any longer, so we headed for home. We are already thinking of next year and planning on getting tickets to some movies early so we are sure to see one or two.
and then on our way out of Parleys Canyon this was our view.




What a great Friday!!!

It's Been To Long

I can't believe it has been almost 3 months since I last posted. Alot has happened and I am not sure where to start. Well let me start in November. I was extremely busy with the boutique. I made these little turkeys and put them down there, I told the owners of the boutique about an idea that a friend gave me to put letters of the names in the family on each feather and use them as a place settings. Well when they told costomers about this they were "GOBBLED" up so fast I couldn't keep up with demand. I made a grand total of 120 turkey and sold every last one of them. I even had a lady ask if I could make about 15 more the day before, and I just had to say no sorry but I would really like to enjoy the holiday! So next year I am planning on making a ton of them.
Here is a picture of the cute little guy!

Our first Thanksgiving with Jaxson was so fun he was the hit of the table. I am sorry but I forgot my camera so I have no pictures of him. My Bad!! But we had a great day and we found out that he doesn't like mashed potatoes and gravy very much. But I am sure that will change next year!

We had a great time on Black Friday. It actually started for us on Thursday night at 10:30 in Walmart waiting in this HUGE line for 2 hours (well ok and hour and a half)
waiting to get our hands on some movies. We actually got all the ones we waited for. But I have to tell you, it is crazy in there! I had this little lady slug me in the gut just to get out of this huge crowd. I was like "SERIOUSLY" then just had to laugh as I made my way out. We ended our black friday early Friday morning, which is very unusaul as I like to stay out till 1 or 2 in the afternoon. But since Ihad started the night before I was very tired and needed some sleep so I got home around 10am and crawled into bed for a couple of hours nap.

Then came December, again I was very busy with making things for the boutique. I made a ton of stuff and made alot of money. Which I was vey happy with I decided that I am saving the money up for the S.U convention this year in July.

A couple of days before Christmas we decided that we needed to get our Kitty Lucy a friend, So kaylene and I and Reese had the day off (very unusal for all three of us to have the day off at the same time) so off to the Humane Society we went. We were going there for a certain kitty named Coal, but when we went up to his cage he showed no interest in us at all. So we looked around and I spotted this cute little thing and Reese took her out of the cage and before I knew it Reese was up at the counter signing papers. So this is the newest member of our family...

Sophie!

They love each other!!! This is Lucy and Sophie.
We took her to the vet for a free check up, then a bath at Petco and brought her home to meet her big sister Lucy. Well at first they just wanted to bite each other but after a month they are the best of friends. We had to deal with a sickness with Sophie she got Coxcitia which is really bad for animals and we were all sad thinking she might give it to our little Lucy or worse she might die. So we had to lock Sophie away in the bathroom for 10 days, and boy was that a struggle. But happy to report that after the 10 days were up we went back to the vet and the Coxcitia was gone and she is so happy to be back with her sister! Thank goodness for STRONG antibiotics.


Our first Christmas with Jaxson and I was so excited to spoil my one and only grandson. It seemed like everytime I went out shopping I always found more stuff for him. Someone asked me what I was getting for him and I simply replied everything!!! Kaylene informed me that when they were kids they never got this much stuff, ha ha ha! Yep I am a grandma and I love it!! Here are some pictures of him.

Here he is picking out his Present! He was so cute in his Santa outfit!

He is so excited to open his gift!!!

He just loves to pose for the camera!!


We had so much fun with him. And he got everything he wanted and more.
Here is our family photo..



Christmas came and went so fast, and before we knew it here was the New Year. We didn't go out or anything, we got some pizzas and spent the evening playing games on the Xbox Kinect and WII.


Since then I have been very busy working on Valentines (yes you heard right, Valentines) for the boutique.
If you want to see the projects and cards that I have done you can click on my crafting with Tammy link and check it out. I haven't posted anything yet but give me a day or two and I will.

I joined a biggest loser contest. The prize money is unbelievable so I hope I get something, if not i would just be happy to lose the 15 lbs that I really want off. Kaylene and I bought a rec pass and now we work out a little more and we just started Zumba classes with some friends and having a great time doing it. Which I never thought I would. So hopefully I'll lose some weight!


Well I think thats it for. If I remember anything more I will post it later.
