House Stuff

These are the lamps and bookshelves we got at Ikea. I am still figuring what to put on the shelves but I love them. It is so nice to finally be putting things away. I still don't really have anything hung up on the walls but it is a work in progress. I can only do a little bit at a time or else I get really overwhelmed.

 We finally got our blinds!! We have been in our house for 4 months and we just got our blinds. We have been using garbage bags taped over the window. I know, a little white trash. We are just really slow and getting things. But we love our new blinds, they make such a huge difference.

Birthday Celebrations

25 year old! Say what?? Weird I don't feel that old ( I know that it isn't that old but you know what I mean). I had a great birthday! I had the day off from work which is a birthday present. Reg got me new gym shoes and lots of new earrings! I love them! He does such a good job at picking things out for me. Too bad he forgets to buy wrapping paper and has to wrap them in Christmas wrapping paper.Ü
We went to lunch at this new place in Draper called U Food Grill (I had a coupon), it was good and healthy. Then we went to Ikea. I have been waiting and waiting to go to Ikea to get bookshelves. Reg asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday and I wanted to go and get bookshelves. I had saved my money and was so excited. While at Ikea we also got lamps for our bedroom. I used to think that I didn't like Ikea but I love it now. When we got home we put them together and they were super easy to put together, that makes them even better.
Then we went my parents and Reg's parents to visit. Then we got take out from Bajio ( I am so a Bajio girl, not a Cafe Rio girl) and went home to watch Biggest Loser and American Idol. Such a great day and birthday! Thanks everyone!!!Ü

Easter Weekend

We had such a good weekend. I hope all of you did also. Amanda and Travis came from St. George for the weekend and it was great to just all hang out together. On Saturday we went to my Grandma Dangerfield's Birthday party. I am so grateful for her and her example. She never complains and has such a strong testimony.
Then we went to Regan's parent's house for dinner and the Easter Egg hunt. The kids were so excited! I think they were more excited for the Egg hunt than they were on Christmas to open presents.Ü
Later that night we dyed easter eggs at my parents and watched Marley and Me.
On Sunday we went church (we love our ward) and then went to my parents for Easter Brunch. My whole family was there and the weather was nice and it was just great. Reg and I hunted for our Easter baskets. Reg's was really high up in a huge pine tree and mine was in the garage behind a bunch of stuff. My Dad loves to hide the Easter baskets and always makes it super hard to find them. Anything is fair game with him.Ü It was nice just to hang outside and play. Later, we had a money egg hunt. Eggs were hidden with money in them and we each got five eggs to find. The funny thing is that most people couldn't find all their eggs cause they were hidden so hard. I was lucky enough to find all of mine.Ü There are still about 6 eggs hidden in our yard that haven't been found yet so if anyone needs some extra change come on over.
I truly love Easter. It has always been one of my favorite holidays. This is year I loved it especially because Our Savior. My thoughts have been on Him alot recently and everything He has done for me. I have truly felt loved by Him.

Grandma's Birthday Present

Last night to celebrate my birthday my Grandma, my mom, Jamie and I went to Hale Theater to see Phantom of the Opera and to dinner at Olive Garden. This was my present from my Grandma. It was a great girls night out. I usually really like plays at hale theater and this one was good but just different than what I thought it would be. It wasn't really anything like the Phantom of the Opera that we are all familier with. It was still well done and we all had a good time. Grandma was on a role last night. Most of you know that my Grandma has Alzheimers. It is a sad disease but we love spending time with Grandma. Well, last night during a scene in the play (it was showing the phantoms story from when he was a boy) so its this really serious and dramatic part in the play and its dead quiet... the phantom had just been born and so they make a sound like a baby crying and then my Grandma as loud as possibly could says, "there's the cat!" Yep that's right she thought the baby crying was a cat. We all died...its was so funny. I know everybody in the theater heard her.Ü So then were at the restaurant and she was just being so funny, pulling funny faces and making us laugh. Then out of the blue she say, "It's my birthday!" and we said its not your birthday and she said, "yes it is." So we celebrated her birthday instead.Ü Thanks Grandmas for a great birthday night! We always have a good time with you.
