Love, Me

Alright, so my mom posted this little "game" on her blog and I decided to play. I thought it could be kind of fun as I'm looking for new ways to express my creativity this year. Here's the deal:

The first five people to comment on this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations.

1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make!

2. What I create will be just for you.

3. I'll be done this year. : )

4. You will have no clue what it is going to be.

5. I will either hand deliver or ship - depending on where you live.

The catch? Oh, yes, there's a catch. You must re-post this on your blog. Yep, that means you'll have to make stuff for other people. It doesn't have to be anything fancy...it could be food! Just as long as it's homemade and you're "paying it forward". Come on it will be fun!!!

The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me you did will win a marvelous homemade gift by me! Go!

Nine Months

We go to the doctor this week to see how much the man has grown! What he's learned this month:
-how to crawl
-how to sit up by himself
-how to pull himself up to standing
-how to give kisses (my favorite, although they're very wet)

World of Concrete

Last week took us to Las Vegas for the World of Concrete exhibition. The highlight of my year for sure. Sam had to go for work, and I didn't want to be alone for a week...SO Parker and I tagged along. It turned out to be a pretty fun week. Parker and I mostly relaxed at the hotel and checked out the fabulous Vegas shopping.

One afternoon we headed up to check out the temple.

Parker loves Jason's Deli ice cream!

We spent some time with Aunt Meg.

On the way home we saw snow! It was only for a few miles, but still kind of fun.

I think Parker had a little bit too much fun because he slept almost the whole drive home!

Mobile

I know I'm a ridiculous mommy blogger, but for one, this is pretty exciting for us, and two, this is the best way to share stuff with the grandparents. So indulge me!

I Can Hear the Bells

Last weekend we packed up the car and headed up to St. George for Sam's sister, Sarah's, wedding! It was a fabulous weekend filled with family, friends, and oodles of laughter. I didn't take many pictures, so most of these are swiped from Meg's and Melissa's facebooks! Thanks guys :)

First photo as husband & wife! Sarah was a gorgeous bride.

Aren't they a cute couple?


Aren't WE a cute couple?

Parker and his godfather


Sarah and her girlfriends. She seriously has the best group of friends. I love hanging out with them-they are so fab and glamorous.

The reception was held at the Nelson's {beautiful} home in St. George. Here are the "helpers" setting up the yummy food.


Dessert spread. Cake courtesy of Justin's oh so talented sister.

Cutting the cake. A ritual Sarah would rather have not participated in, but was peer pressured into.


{Congratulations} Mr. and Mrs. Lingard!
