Brittany's baby shower

This weekend i threw a baby shower for my baby sis. She is having a boy in feburary!!! the name they have picked is Alex. i made this hanging banner in hopes she uses it in the nursery

We played a few small games so i decided rather than spend 15-20$ per gift i would make some. hopefully they were liked, i had a good time making them.

I had a lot of help in throwing this shower. my aunt dawna let us crash her house, again. my aunt ann, aunt dawna, sister in law cat and jeff's sisters and mom helped with the food. and most of all my mom did a ton as well. we made mini cupcakes too. all the food was delicious, so thanks all who helped!!

Brittany with her "diaper cake" although it isn't even close to a cake...not edible. but absolutely cute!!! A view of the back. the cake consists of 120 diapers, 4 bibs, 4 receiving blankets, 2 car seat toys, a car seat cover, 3 bottles, a onesies, pair of pants, a pair of socks, binki and a binki clip thing, a dishwasher basket, nursery freshners, a teddy bear and...i think that was all.

Congrats again Britt and Jeff! so excited for your new little guy to come!

christmas...really late

i know i'm slow at posting this but these are just a few of my favorite picts from christmas.

Scott flying his helicopter. all the boys got one and they had a lot of fun flying them around. i'm surprised scott's still flies...he let me fly it a few times. i don't think it could be classified as flying, it was crashing!

so for those of you who know...this is perry! it was funny because when scott and loren opened the gift with these shirts my niece brooklyn, who is pictured here, pointed and said "perry!" so cute!!

Sub For Santa

This year for christmas Scott's family is doing a sub for santa. it's a larger family so we thought we would extend it to my family to see if anybody is interested in pitching in so they get a good christmas. This family is in our ward, they are a cute little family. there is mom, dad, 10yr old girl, 8 yr old girl, 3 yr old girl and a 1 yr old boy. i'm going to list below sizes and interests that i know and if you are interested in helping out please call me and let me know what you would like to do so we don't duplicate items. we will take any help so if you want to take an item or more up to taking one child, just let me know. we were hoping to get an outfit, pj's and at least one toy for each child. We would also like to do something for the parents (any suggestions are welcome) and some family games they can play together. we were also thinking about gathering up some food as well.

10yr old girl 8yr old girl
likes to read zhu zhu pet

both girls like to dance to kids bop cd's (available at walmart).
they both like crafts such as bead/jewerly kits/art kits
into girly things like lip gloss, nail polish
bubble bath, jewerly
pillow pets

For the 3yr old girl she likes babys, pretend toys (stroller, vacuums etc), play mat, bath toys, activity books, musical or talking toys

For the 1 yr old boy trucks, musical or talking toys, shape sorters, play mat, bath toys, blocks

i don't have specific sizes for the 3 and 1 yr old. i think if we just go with the clothing for that age we should be good. but all you mothers out there would know better than me :)

again, please call or contact me if you are interested in helping. any and all help would be appreciated. thanks!

My birthday!!!

My husband and family all spoiled me this year!!! For my birthday after work Scott had a surprise for me. i didn't find out what it was until we pulled into the parking lot of a Day Spa. He handed me an envelope and told me to go inside and give it to the girl at the front desk. I had no idea what was going to happen inside....i got a massage, my hair cut and colored and a mini mani/pedi!!! I got pampered to say the least. i was so relaxed, it was wonderful! That night after the spa we went to dinner at Tucanos. DELICIOUS!!! There was more...we came home and he had a treasure hunt planned out. He gave me a box of Reese Puffs cereal and a huge bag of M&M's (which he was going to give me in the morning but he had misplaced them) and then he also got me a bike!!! it's so cute, white and pink of course. We went for a short ride to test it out...love it! Love him!!! Now for the part that my family spoiled me. A few of my siblings went in for dinner and a show tickets. Saturday night we went to Spagetti Mama's in Sandy and ate dinner while there was a Hunt's Mystery Theater perfomed. It was so fun!! We have done murder mystery dinners at home before, this was just as fun. The characters were great! The story was about a mobster family, The Altos, from Chicago. The head boss, Big Lou, was retiring and giving the family business to the next. The characters came around and mingled, the crowd was involved with the whole production. Scott even got involved. He was Tiny Tony. The driver (in the white coat) took him up as a suspicious character. i took a video...but can't get it to load. i'll try again later.
This was a picture of the whole cast. from left to right (their characters)
Lucci Alto (the daughter), Scarlet Smith (Big Lou's girlfriend), Scott, Big Lou, Tia, Vicci Vex (lounge singer), Spats Alto (Big Lou's nephew), Jonnie Darling (Big Lou's Driver).
All in all it was a wonderful birthday!!! thanks everyone!
