What's Up Down South

Layout Did you notice my attempt at doing my own blog layout? I've been wanting to try it and I had some time yesterday while Greg was taking a nap. (Everyone else posts about doing their blogs while their kids are napping and here I am posting while my husband was napping!) It was really kind-of fun. I do lots of graphic design for work, so sometimes the last thing I want to do is something like this. But then again, then is far more creative than work. I'll probably get sick of it and want to change it and not want to create my own again, so it's a good thing there are lots of sites out there that have free backgrounds. Fun to try doing my own, though! Lunch On Tuesday, I was invited out to lunch with some girls on my street and in my ward. We went to a place in Springville called "The Trolley" and it was absolutely delicious! I had a salad, because the girls I was with told me they are famous for their salads, and it was like no other salad! It had ...

I know it's weird to post my feet! I just wanted to say thanks to my mom for our girls day out on Monday. She came down to Spanish Fork and we went to lunch at Olivia's. It's a cute little cafe that happens to be in a spa, which was so convenient because we also wanted to get pedicures. So my mom treated me to lunch and a relaxing day at the spa! It was fantastic. I love this purple color, which is why I just had to post it, and I have purple fingernails to match, but they're already chipping. What a fun day with my mom! She is such a positive, fun, happy person. It was fun to spend the day together getting pampered. Our feet needed it to get ready for sandal weather! This picture was during conference. Greg and I went up to visit and I got to hold both Arienna and Tanner. Maybe it's preparing me for twins...let's hope! They are about two months apart, and Tanner seems so tiny still while Ari is starting to get some baby fat. It's darling! They ...

Those who know us know that Greg and I are big fans of American Idol. Do I have any fellow fans out there? We always tape it (or I guess the term is "TiVo") but tonight's performance was long and it stopped recording before we could see the last performance by Adam Lambert, who happens to be our favorite one. So we watched the video online, and he is so good! Other fans out there? I think he's in a league of his own. I just love listening to his songs and the way he interprets songs that I've heard before and makes them new again. That sounds like something the judges would say! So, what else is new with us? Not much. I babysat two little boys today ages 2 and 4 and I have a respect for you wonderful mothers out there. I am glad that when I have kids they will come as babies first! My house isn't very entertaining right now for a 2 year old and 4 year old. Luckily they brought their own Mr. Potato Heads to play with. And we watched "Mater and...
