Monday, May 21, 2012

Wow! Can I say I just loved this week?! It was fantastic! Monday I got to bring Jake lunch and visit with him at work. That was fun! Then I had some Girls Camp Meetings and came home.
I saw my neighbor outside when I got home, and she invited me to the park!  So we round up her kids and drove to a park! It was a beautiful day out. We had fun pushing the girls on the swings and catching up on talking!
In the evening, Jake and I went on a bike ride! It was lovely!
Tuna is a great bike rider!
For dinner, Jake and I made one our favorites, and easiest meals ever...buffalo chicken bites over lettuce with ranch. I dont know why, but this really is one of our favorites!
Tuesday, I literally played Mario Kart in bed from 7am till 4 pm! It was so much fun! I had to play till I beat all the new levels and unlocked new cars and car detail options! I still have a little bit to complete, but wow! They did an amazing job on this 3D game. I dont get tired from looking at the screen and it all flows very nicely!
Tuesday night I had a Girls Camp Night where we made camp necklaces. I made some homemade Oreo cookies for the girls! If you want the recipe, here it is! These are super delicious, fast and easy! They are always a hit! Go OREOS!
Wednesday, I felt super sick all day and could not get out of bed. So...I shopped online...always a favorite!
And once again played video games all day! It was a blast! I felt sick, but if I didn't move, it was great!
When Jake got home from work, I was starving and dying to get out of the house, so I took some medicine, put on a smile..and we went for a bike ride!
I am so glad we went on a bike ride! It was awesome!
That night I played Ticket to Ride and got my best score yet! Wahoo! I still have not broken 200 but I am working on it! I try every time!
Thursday was another sick day :( But I watched lots of great movies! Hook, Happy Gilmore, Mr. Deeds, Peter Pan, Emperors New Groove, Kronks New Groove. It was a great movie day ;)
Jake and I went on another bike ride and saw tons of snakes! Some ran over...and some still alive! This one was still alive, so we wanted to help him get off the trail so he would live. He was such a cute snake.
Jake helping the snake off the road. He was such a cute snake! We saw 3 squirrels, tons of black beetles and we were covered in caterpillars! It was a very nature day!
After our bike ride, we were so hungry, we went to Five Guys! Oh it was so delicious! I am really starting to like there burgers the more I got there! I got the bacon and cheeseburger with everything on it and extra jalepenos and ohhhhh it was so gooood! After Five Guys we went to the Sweet Tooth Fairy and got delicious cup cakes! And then to top of the night even more....Jake took me to the fabric store and I got yards and yards of LOTS of good stuff! I was so excited when I got home, I didn't even feel sick anymore...well after midnight...so I pulled a really late night till 6am.....and worked on crafts. I finally felt good and I was going to take advantage of that!
So I just discovered this picture. haha. I was downloading pictures from this week and somehow this picture was in it. Funny Jake. He caught me sleeping with Lamb Chop ;) Well, this was Friday morning I am guessing. Sleeping in after a late night. Always a great way to start a day!

Friday afternoon, I went with some ladies from my church around to houses to pick up items people had volunteered to donate for a Girls Camp Fundraiser that we did on Saturday! That was fun to meet some people in my church I hadn't gotten to meet yet! So many people donated tons of stuff it was great!
Friday night Jake took me on a date night! He said I got to pick where we went....so of course I picked one of my favorites... Bombay House for Indian food! Ah I LOVE Indian food! It is so delicious! All the flavors, over yummy rice....yes please! Then for dessert I choose once again Sweet Tooth Fairy. I have been going there almost every day for the past few weeks. You think I would be sick of it by now....I am not! I LOVE CUPCAKES!
 Saturday, I had my Girls Camp Fundraisers from 6am-2pm! I was shocked at how well it went! Wahoo! When I got home, Jake and I took a nap and didn't wake up till 7pm. Whoops...I LOVE naps! For dinner we made buffalo chicken, cilantro, jalepeno and cheese paninis! They were so good!
Sunday, I felt sick again all day :( I dont know what is wrong with me this week. Jake felt sick to. I think we caught mono or something. Just kidding. We did have a great time at church though and came home and ate tons of snacks and food! Then we watched lots of movies....Mr. Deeds, Happy Gilmore, Mulan, Enchanted, Aladdin and Ferris Bullers Day Off. It was a great Sunday!

A couple weeks ago, my mom got t-boned in her car! She and everyone that was in her car, and the other peoples car were all OK! Just a little scared and shaken up! But everyone was OK!

This made me think how I need to be more grateful. I try to be, but I can do much better. I think there are so many things in life to be grateful for. Not only family, but things we get to enjoy in life, the beautiful things surrounding us and so so much more. I used to have a journal I would just write one thing I was grateful for at the end of each night. I stopped that long ago and need to start it up again. I was reading it and forgot so many wonderful things that have happend in my life.

So...today I am grateful my mom and her friends were safe. Also, I always want to drive a big car now:)

Yard Sale Saturday

Saturday, May 19, 2012

Today we had a big fundraiser for the girls I am working with for girls camp! I have never done a yard sale, so I was a bit skeptical, but let me tell you...it turned out awesome! Lots of people donated baked goods and items to sale for the yard sale. Many of the girls came and helped set up items, price things, hold up signs and much much more! I never knew how much work a yard sale is, but it help us raise more than enough money for girls camp! Wahoo! Such wonderful news! YEAH! So thanks to all who helped and made it a success! Go Yard Sales!
Let the yard sale begin!
 Our lovely cashier :)
 Lots of yummy bake sale items! They were all delicious and good! We sold out of everything! It was wonderful!
This is what treasure I found at the yard sale!
I had so many tables and stuff in my car, after it was all cleaned out, I was dying to go to the car wash! I love getting my car washed! It feels great! I love a pretty car :)
Then Jake and I went for a late lunch at J-Dawgs! OHHHH so yummy! It was not disappointing!

Downtown Salt Lake City

When Jake and I were in Salt Lake for Trevin and Kelsei's wedding last week, Jake took some really cool pictures around the city! Here are some of my favorite ones he took :)

Kelsei and Trevins Wedding

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Friday afternoon, I got to get Tuna ready for a wedding! I was combing his hair and on accident, the comb got stuck under his eyebrow and pulled it out! (the right one...or in the pic, the left one). It was tragic, but luckily I got his eyebrow back in place. Its a bit bigger now, but I have always been a fan of promintate eyebrows. Then we got Tunas bow tie on, and went and picked up Jake from work. Off to the wedding in Salt Lake.
The wedding was for Jakes cousin Trevin and his new wife Kelsei. She is now the third Kelsey Harris in Jakes family line. I think thats pretty neat. I am Kelsey Harris the Second. The wedding was at the Salt Lake LDS Temple. It was a beautiful wedding.
Waiting outside the temple for the bride and groom to come out!
Here they are!
I LOVE all the pretty flowers out and about on the temple grounds! They do such a great job making temple ground areas so beautiful year around.
Uncle Doug, Aunt Christi, Jake and I and Skyler :) Most of these pictures are from my wonderful Aunt Christi! Thank you for letting me use these great pics! She is so wonderful at documenting moments!
After the wedding was a dinner at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building in the Wasatch room!
Trevins family lives in Texas, and boy do they have some serious Texas PRIDE! They did some super cute touches to the dinner party room that made it so much fun. These Armadillo Droppings were one of them! They are camel and nuts and soo good! I want to order some to eat more!!
They had the Texas flag and State flowers on display! They got each family a bottle of Rudys barbecue sauce which is their favorite! Jake and I cant wait to try it! I thought that was so sweet and cute they did that for everyone ;)
Buffet style dinner! Yum!
My plate...and I ate it all! And some dessert. Texas sheet cake dessert of course :) After we all ate, there was dancing and fun! Jake and I had to sadly leave before sparklers and to watch the bride and groom take a carriage ride off, but we had a fantastic time!
Beautiful view for the 10th floor of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
