Father's Day Craft

We had a great Father's Day craft with the Tooele Mommies today. It was a lot of fun and something really original. We bought some empty quart paint cans from Home Depot and customized them from our kids to the dads. The tins had a quarter (in case dad gets lost and needs to call home), a ban-daid (in case he gets hurt), an envelope with stamp and an empty sheet of paper (so dad could write a letter to each child), a fingerprint (so dad knew who he belonged to), their hands traced out with a string tied on a finger (so dad would remember they were thinking of him), a picture of each of them, a picture that the kids drew doing their most favorite activity with dad, a letter that each of them personalized themselves, and a few "kisses" (Hershey's).

We ended up decorating them at home because I've been finding every excuse I can to use my Cricut. lol. What better way than to make these tins look amazing? I had some great paper and stickers and cutouts so the kids customized them exactly the way they wanted. To top it all off they each wanted to give Dad something very special. Carter ended up putting his football medal in the can. I was completely shocked because that's his favorite thing ever. He wears it almost every day. He said he wanted Dad to have it because it was special to him. And what do you think Peyton gave Daddy? A horse, of course!! lol. He had quite a few to choose from but he had to find one small enough that would fit in the can and one he knew Daddy would love.

We celebrated Father's Day today because Carter will be leaving us for 3 weeks to stay with his dad. Don't talk to me about it. I'm already sad. We had a "picnic" in our front room on the floor and watched a movie. The kids thought it was so fun! We watched The Last Mimzy. Then I made popcorn and we played games. It was an amazing night.

I'm so lucky to have 3 amazing men in my life everyday. I don't know what I would do without them. Each day with them is a blessing from above. I can't tell you how lucky I am. They are the best family anyone could ever ask for.

LeAnn Rimes!!

Okay, first off I have to thank Lisa for taking me with her on this amazing evening. I truly needed it. I can't thank you enough. I absolutely love LeAnn. She's one of my favorite female artists. She's very real and humble. It was awesome seeing her.

Second, she still reminds me of a little girl. She actually got embarrassed a couple of times. She would look down and blush. I loved it! Shows she's not let anything go to her head.

Third, that shirt with those pants IS NOT flattering on me. lol. I was having a rough day, okay? I know a lot of you are wondering why I didn't dress up like I always do. Seeing the picture I wish I had. Next time.

Forth, if any of you know where I can get LeAnn's dress please let me know! I love it!!!!! It went fabulous with her six-inch heels. Ahhhh, only in my dreams....

We had to take our picture by the amazing art piece that was outside the concert hall. It was great getting to go to a private performance. I'll never forget it. Thanks again Lisa for being such a great friend and sister. I love ya.

SATC Afternoon

It's my sister's birthday tomorrow!! Yay! My mom, sis, and me all decided that we wanted to go to lunch and see SATC on Sunday for a little pre-birthday event. (We do that a lot in our family)lol. Sometimes birthdays can last for an entire month. Thanks to my sister for my birthday month last year! Here are a couple pictures of us. It was a really fun day. I love spending time with my mom and sister. We don't do it enough. We went to Iggy's for lunch and had a cosmo (of course). We got dressed up and all of us wore killer shoes. ;) I wish I would have taken a picture of them too. Anyway, just wanted to share a good day with good family.
