screaming Hollie

Hollie...if you are reading...

I think you should make this cake for me.

I just saw it and it was screaming your name.

If there is anyone I know who could pull it off, it would be you.

I'd drive 6 hours to eat it if you make it.

What do ya say???

This is where I discovered the beautiful cake.

wedding week

Last Friday I flew to Boise to help my sister Hollie drive down with her 4 boys...in the dark, with a baby, a body cast and rain. I just couldn't let her do it by herself. So I hopped on a plane and was there in an hour. No luggage or kids...it was the easiest flight ever!

Saturday morning we had a bridal shower for Tiff. Later that night she went to the temple to receive her endowment. We hired 3 babysitters to take care of our 6 (Hollie's 4 + my 2) kids.

Sunday was baby Kate's baby blessing.

Monday we had a surprise party to celebrate my parents' 35th wedding anniversary. It was also our 14th anniversary!

{Thanks for 14 fabulous years baby...I have loved every one.}

And...he is still so hot after all these years!

Wednesday was Jorden & Tiffany's wedding dinner.

Thursday was the big day! What an exciting time it was to have our entire family in the temple. It is so hard to believe that my baby sister is married and off on her honeymoon. Congrats you two. We are so excited to see what the future holds for you!

Mr. & Mrs. Jorden Smith

And...yes, we are now exhausted.

my monkeys

The girls have been taking gymnastics for about 2 months now...and it is definitely one of the highlights of our week. They love it so much! You can see the determination on their faces. I am so proud of them for giving it their all.

Hair + Make-up

I am so proud. Both of my sister's worked on this wedding that was featured in Utah Bride magazine. Here are some photos by the incredible Pepper Nix to prove it!

Aren't they {I mean my sisters} so cute?

tulip festival

One of my favorite annual traditions is visiting Thanksgiving Point Gardens during the tulip festival. The "bloom-o-meter" estimated that the tulips were at 40% of their maximum bloom. That means at least one more trip there next week... It makes my heart happy.

trip to Meridian

This weekend we escaped for a much needed vacation to see my sister Hollie and her family. It was fun to explore their new town, watch the boys play football and baseball and just plain, old hang-out together! We had such a blast! Thank you Mike and Hollie...you spoiled us WAY too much!

This is for my sister Hollie...the quilt-maker extraordinaire in our family! I sure would love a quilt made out of these fat-quarters...if you were wondering. ;) Find them here.

washi tape

I think these vases decorated with tape are fabulous. See the details on one of my favorite blogs...hostess with the mostess. I can think of about one million things to do with this cute tape...another item for the wish list.
