Well to get us all back in the spring spirit here is some pictures of the Beautiful Gardens out at Thanksgiving Point. Their tulip festival is one of a kind, never realized how big the gardens are!

27 Weeks

This is one big man made waterfall!

Look Mom I can see my feet!

Mark your calendars

So something interesting happened this week. A few weeks ago my friend Wendy told me about an ad on KSL about a maternity company looking for pregnant women between 6-8 months who lived in the SLC area to model their new line of clothings, and in return you get to keep the clothes. Umm FREE CLOTHES really why not? So I had nothing to lose right.

Their website can be found here

So I sent off an email (like a week and half after the ad ws posted) didn't hear anything - nothing to disapointing. Well then one day while at Fox I thought for one of our interview segments they do on Good Day Utah Weekend Edition they could have these people on mabye talk about the photoshoot they did with the SLC people they picked or whatever. So I asked Tamara about it and gave her the contact information (okay a little biasised). Well 2 weeks later she told me she contacted them and got a response and they were going to be on the show on May 8th as part of their Mothers Day shows. SWEET I felt acomplished I helped the show. Well she also said when they responded to her email that they mentioned I had contacted them about the photoshoot. SWEET I was remembered. Well then I recieved an email from them asking me if I wanted to wear one of their shirts on the news segment and be part of their fashion show for the segment! SWEET even better, ohh and of course I said YES!!!

So mark your calendars, set your alarms, May 8th sometime between 7:30-9 a.m. on May 8th I will be on TV. It's not doing the news but its in the news!

I love this season

Really nothing is better than spending time with people you enjoy and eating good food. I love our new BBQ, wait let me change that - Kelly and I love our new BBQ we cook on it as often as we can. He loves Costco steaks, I love chicken marinaded, cooked with a side of grilled veggies sprinkled with Canadian secret seasoning from Uncle Reed. mmmm So yesterday we had a crowd full - and boy was it fun. We had a great mix of everything to eat and I think I ate myself into a food coma - I slept soo good that night! So here is some random pictures from our evening. My camera's battery was dying and I can't quite remember where I put the charger (stupid pregnancy brain, and torn up house) so I didn't get to many pictures of the BBQ, but know that we had a lot of fun and you missed out if you weren't there - but hope next time you are. You don't even need an invite just show up we'll make a party!

Who doesn't love PING PONG?? (Korver womped Kelly)

This is my friends Abbey's car, I love it because it is seriouly sooo cute! It's even a convertible, its so small it's only 106.1 inches long, 61.4 inches wide, 60.7 inches tall on a 73.5-inch wheelbase.

HA HA the best part of this is he took it for a spin, and in the stereo was a CD from "Elf" so here he is driving around with this Smart Car with "elf" blaring through the speakers. He said he got some intersting looks from people. This is the cutest car and I love it when I see my frined drive it. Nate looked so funny in it because the car is so small!! He could fit 3 of those in his garage!

Mary's version of the "Smart Car" hers just doens't get her far - and has a hard time getting in and out of it. But this toy pretty much looks like the Smart Car. - I think they designed it after this toy.

I love this time of year - I love the warm weather, how it brings everyone out of their houses. I walked around our neighborhood the other day and the amount of kids all over was soo cool, warm weather is so much more inviting and makes people happy. Goodbye Winter ohh how I don't miss you at this moment!

Just a sneak peek

This is a sneak peek of what Penelope's room is turning into. (thats what we call her till we call her till she is here in our arms) Kelly has been working extra hard these last couple of weeks to prime, paint and tear out carpet. Once we have the carpet installed (throughout the entire house WAAAAHOOOO) I'll post a picture of the finshed room. But I love it so far! Stay tooned!

Easter - never to old

Your'e never to old for Easter, or coloring eggs for that matter. Kelly came home Saturday night with a egg dying kit. He was so excited because it was Star Wars! So Sunday morning we decided to dye some easter eggs (in preparation of doing it for many years to come).

All the supplies ready to go

Dying eggs.
I was really excited Kelly just likes to take pictures all at the wrong moment!

This is my sad egg - in the kit they had these Star Wars "tattoos" for your eggs. Well they didn't come with instructions on how to apply these tattos. So we tried everything we could think of. While I was trying to rub on the tattoo my own strength got the best of me and I broke the egg. Kelly said we didn't use the force when trying to apply them. My force was to strong for that little egg. But it tasted delicous

Ohh what a great basket of eggs! They turned out great, and we had a great time!

This is my favorite egg, it broke in the boiling stage and all its insides started to ooze out. Well then it cooked the insides from the outside. I couldn't let a good egg not be colored, didn't want it to feel left out - so I colored it. I think it fits it great!

Yes I had to choose green - wouldn't you!!!

Hope everyone had a great Easter!

HAPPY EASTER
