SHADE

I'm having a Shade Clothing try on May 23rd from 7-9pm for anyone who wants to come. It's super casual and the lady that actually sells the clothing wont even be there! So no pressure. I really like to just try everything on so when I do have money to get more Shade I know what size I wear. Plus they have som really cute new styles that are on sale!

Hope to see you there!

Roasting at the Browers

It was HOT today, really hot. We played outside from about 1pm to 4:30pm. I can not believe tomorrow is supposed to be even hotter than today. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera batteries charged and Jeremy was borrowing my other camera for a work thing. Today was Elle's first day to wear a swimsuit and get in the sprinklers, her face was priceless. She had zero fear (not very surprising) and loved every minute of it. Eva had a blast with all her friends. Lucky for me we live in a neighborhood full of parents who have bought a hose and sprinklers (the cool kind, not like the old fashion ones used for actually watering your lawn) so I have yet to buy any of those things. There's always someone that has all the kids over on their lawn and when I need to wash my car I just borrow a hose. It's a great neighborhood to be as cheap as I am....I should rephrase that, it's a great neighborhood to be as cheap as my husband is (in the best possible way, we don't need it if everyone else lets us use theirs...you're so frugal honey, I love you).
Maybe I'll get some pics tomorrow because I guarantee we'll be out, but not for the hottest part of the day like today!

Book Recomendation

I don't usually have a lot of time to read, what with all my TV watching at night (Happy Season Finale of The Office btw). My friend Heather was raving about this book she borrowed from my other friend Stacey called, I am a Mother by Jane Clayson Johnson.


It's not a very big book, I actually started it in the morning and finished it that night. But it really spoke to me. I'm also not a big reader of religious books, mostly because I want to read interesting ones and I'm not always sure which one will be good and which one will be boring. Anyway, very excellent. I think within the first chapter or two a small paragraph really spoke to me and how I've been feeling the past few weeks. I was laying in bed crying my eyes out!
Even though we know Heavenly Father loves us and knows us it's nice to read, especially from someone that I will never meet. You know what I mean? Of course we tell each other that we're special and that we're doing the best we can and Heavenly Father loves us but to have someone say the simplest words in a book and to have it testify to your heart is a whole new feeling for me.

I would recommend this book for young women and anyone who is a woman. It's a very good read.

The cutest thing EVER

A few days ago Eva, Elle and I were coming out of the grocery store when we saw four missionary's getting out of their car. Eva got very excited and waved to them and we said hello. As they were walking away Eva turned and pointed at them and said:
"Mom, that looks just like Heaven." All I could thing to say after giggling that she said something so adorable was:
"Yes Eva, it does."

So adorable. The cutest thing EVER!

Elle's First Watermelon

These were taken a couple weeks ago and I finally put them on the computer. She was so cute, she had two HUGE pieces, well it was two and I cut them both in half and she ate about 3 and a half, in retrospect I shouldn't have had her eat so much of it but lucky for me she didn't get a stomach ache.

Mother's Day pics

This is what the inside of my homemade Mother's Day card looked like. It was very sweet. These are my flowers from Eva and Elle. They came in this really great bouguet but it didn't fit with the vase so I got to cut them and arrange them to fit. I'm a little out of practice but it was still really fun.

I love Gerber Daisies!!

Mother dear...

I had a great weekend. Saturday was my mom's b-day and she wanted me to spend all day with her and do craft things. Which was kind of a mother's day gift for me as well. Jeremy had Elle all day long, (not one break)I took Eva with me for a little while and then my dad brought her some fun places and then dropped her off back at our house on sat afternoon. Anyway, my dad got my mom a Cricut Expressions for her birthday:

This machine can cut everything, it's amazing. It can even cut through leather! You can buy cartridges that have different layouts and it can cut from 1" up to 23.5"!! Can you believe it?! I played with it all afternoon and into the night, so much fun.

Anyway, we just hung out, watched Grey's ate cake had pizza it was a really fun day with my mom. When I got back home there was a bouquet of gerber daisies (my favorite) in this beautiful vase and the little card was from Eva and Elle (thanks mom). It was really cute, I took pics but their not on the computer yet.

Then Sunday I slept in for a bit but I really needed to nurse Elle! After that Jeremy made breakfast and I went back to sleep till almost 11am! We all got to church and it was a great sacrament meeting. The bishop said some things that really meant a lot to me AND then the primary kids got up and sang some songs and it was my first time having Eva get up and sing! The tears were pouring from my eyes, she was so proud and she knew all the words and she had a giant smile on her face, I was so proud of her. I also participated in this special relief society and had a part as Emma Smith (I know, right, who did the casting on this?) anyway, it was fun and I'm glad I was asked, plus I got to ditch Elle with Jeremy which was totally awesome. And the RS provided muffins, oranges and chocolates (so sweet).

Last night we had a BBQ at my parents house and the food was excellent, of course. Also Jeremy and the girls made me this really cute card with a collage of all their pics, it was really sweet. Now back to the grindstone!
