Last week Kristin and Donna and I hosted a Baby Shower for a girl in our ward!! THINK PINK!!! {and Brown and Cream if were going with the theme of the baby shower!} It was so much fun especially working with Kristin who has the same mind set as me when it comes to shower!! Ever last detail was covered right down to the cute little pink Tiffany boxes filled with goodies for the guest!!
Can I just say I love the diaper cakes!
Later that night was Matts mom's big 50 birthday party! I had wracked my brain for weeks trying to find the right gift for her! After Brain storming with Donna and Kristin after the baby shower, we came up with the best idea!! A money Tree! {seriously what would I do with out such good friends who help me put these amazing ideas together...Or Donna who has everything in the world to make these ideas possible} I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
We hung 50 one dollar bills and the most amazing jewelry from a jewelry stand! If anyone wants the most amazing Jewelry..."Donna Nicole" is the best!!
Last weekend My sister in Law Brittany was dancing at the Basque Festival! I was so excited to go and expose my kids to a different culture! Since we can't travel the world I'll take what I can get! They had you purchased "script" money, then you used the script money to pay for food, or any of the activities they had! The proceeds went to the nunnery, which was a culture shock in it self!
One of my Favorite Dances!
They had so much fun on all the blow up toys!
Tuesday my bad luck changed...I woke up bright and early so sad that I wasn't going to the "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE TOUR!" For months I debated if I wanted to spend hundreds of dollars to be up close and personal...due to budget and savings it was out of the question!! AHH! I got on KSL hoping to get lucky and find tickets for the SOLD OUT show!! Just my luck I found some decent seats!! After Talking to my friend I bought the tickets! Only to find minutes later 3rd row tickets for 10 bucks more! After selling our tickets and setting up a meeting time to go pick up our new tickets, we get a call from the seller saying his brother had sold the tickets and he didn't know it! S%$@ you can imagine all the words coming out of my mouth!! We had nothing! My heart seriously dropped!! at 4:30 that evening we get a call from the guy who sold us our tickets! He was a ticket broker and felt so bad, he got us hooked up with FRONT ROW and CENTER STAGE tickets!! HOLY @#$^ now you can really imagine what I was saying! I was pee your pants excited! An Hour later me and Mel {My BFF from Deal or No Deal auditions} were off!! I was in a Dream!! They played off us the entire time {they couldn't help it, we were the giants right up front and center...you couldn't miss us! Oh and Mel is Drop dead gorgeous!!!!} Gev fell right in love with Mel, and even told her "he loved her" from the stage!! It doesn't get much better than that...or does it?? The whole thing was amazing and to our disappointment it had to come to an end! As we were leaving and pouting because we wanted to meet them, I struck up conversation with this 60 year old man and his wife! After minutes of talking he took his back stage pass off and stuck it right on me...gave me a hug and said "have a good time!" AHHHH! Then his wife turned to Mel and did the same thing!! As we were waiting to go back stage, we started to talk to some people who after awhile told us they were Thaynes parents!! Can I just say I love Thayne...his mannerisms are identical to Matts!! They took us around and introduced us to all the dancers and his cousin took pictures for us! {Both are cameras died before the concert started...ok that was unlucky!} She was the cutest girl and we all instantly bonded {We better do lunch soon!} When I get the pictures from her I'll post them ASAP! Seriously pinch me...I think it was a dream! { I forgot Gev Perposed to Mel! Watch out Adam!}
Wednesday was Matts and I's 4 year anniversary! Against all odds we made it! Can I just say it is the getting better and better! I suprised him and took him to the DESERT STAR! {for anyone from Idaho it is just like the Play Mill theature!} Since we had gotten married, he said he wanted to take me there! It was perfect and he was clueless up until we pulled into the parking lot! We finished it off, with watching season one of the office!!! I was going to dedicate a post just for him, but words can not explain the love I have for him...:)! Can I just say he truely is the most amazing person...if you've met him, you know it!! I LOVE YOU BABE!
Tonight {Thursday} I pulled it off...a suprised birthday party! Maybe I pulled it off because I put it together at 9 o'clock last night! I took him to dinner, Donna and her daughter Devyn took my kids, and Kristin went to work decorating my house!! While eating dinner Matt decided he wanted to go shopping after for his birthday...crap crap crap! I was ready to pull my hair out worried I couldn't pull this off! After dinner I told him, I wasn't feeling well! I had to get a few things at the dollar store, while there I figured out our escape to go back home! "Matt I have to....{really I shouldn't blog this but it's good!} Poo!" I won't go into detail on all that was said but hey it got us home!!! One thing I figured out tonight is I know how to improvise! We had fun with a "Get to know Matt" game!! I couldn't of done this yet again with out the help of Kristin and Donna! THANK YOU THANK YOU!
*This is a shallow...I love how he dresses! He is way Metro but oh so HOT!
*He works so hard to make our marriage work! I can not tell you how amazed I have been lately, he does everything and anything to make me happy!
*He is a hard hard worker! I could not go to work like him every day with the motivation to do what he does!
* He is the preisthood holder in our home! And he uses it! He makes sure we say our prayers and read our scriptures to keep the spirit in our home!

JENNA!!! That money tree is such a cute idea! I have that same necklace holder. Did you get it from that place by my house? I can't think of the name. Its right off of the freeway.
P.S. I love your "I gotta go POO excuse!!" Just blame it on your bowels!! :) I wish we could of come tonight.. today was nuts! WAYYYY too much going on! :)
HAHA I love it, "gotta go poo"! Oh that's a good one! I don't know how you do it all, you must be supermom to be able to work, rise two kids, and make time for family! I just love the pics of your kids!
Wow...that was a loaded post. You have been busy. I love the diaper cake (I told you I have a shower next week I may have to try to do one myself); love that you got to go to SYTYCD. They came here two years ago and Alex got to go with a girl from Matt's work. Tell "cool" Matt Happy Birthday and we love him
Ah..cute little Gracie.
You had to poo??? Only you Mrs. Jenna:)
Your post is about to look like my next one, I've definitely been neglecting my blog. This year will be Vince and I's 4th anniversary too, time sure does fly. I'm so jealous that you got to go to So You Think You Can Dance.
I couldn't stop laughing while reading your post. I'm going to come visit because I miss you so much.
CRAP- the world has just passed me by without the internet. so sorry to hear about your grandpa- wish you would call when something like that happens. I CAN NOT believe how big you kids are they are darling. I need to meet easton. Remember my birthday is one the second and i will look forward to a call.
You've been busy! Sounds like, for the most part, things have been good! I love your resourcefulness in getting Matt home. That will keep me laughing for a while.
Hey i'm so glad i found your blog, we really should hang out sometime, Do some shopping, go to lunch or just whatever. So do you guys still live over by state st. or did you guys move?
