A Birthday Bash (Saturday Night)

Last night we celebrated Bubba's 23rd Birthday with my family. I am the luckiest girl ever that my family adores him as much as I do!
My parents came by to pick us up for the Real Salt Lake game and surprised him with a soccer cake and some gifts. Bubba, being the victim of many jokes received one of them as a gift: re-gifted soap that I had given my mom.
He did receive an awesome gift from my dad, it was a new RSL jersey (his other one was fitting funny). It was originally a call-up jersey, meaning that they didn't have the "Xango" printed across the front. My dad convinced the gals at the RSL team store to print the Xango across the front and put Fabian Espindola's name and number on the back. Bubba LOVED it!

We went to Spaghetti Mama's before the game and enjoyed awesome Italian food. Dad took photos from dinner (I posted one of them here) and we enjoyed great conversation with my parents. It was great!

We headed over to the RSL game where we watched them play against the Columbus Crew. We didn't win, but it was still a great night and a great game of defense played by RSL.

After the game we got home and enjoyed the delicious birthday cake and a few rounds of Halo Reach with friends. It was a fantastic day! Thanks for everything guys, Bubba loved it!

Happy Birthday Bubba!

Can you believe this stud is only 23 years old?! Well he is, and despite feeling older than dirt (thanks to a great workout/police testing), he is so far enjoying a great day!

However, his fun hasn't even begun for the day yet, we will be going out tonight for dinner with my parents and to the RSL game. Tomorrow we get to go to Terrie and Cory's and enjoy a great dinner (Cashew Chicken, yum!), time in the pool, and of course a great time!

I will be posting lots of photos, until then,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUBBA!

24th Of July- A Parade Preview

Last week we went to the Parade Preview at South Towne Expo Center in Sandy. After running errands all afternoon we really struggled to make it there on time, but when we did, it was so much fun! I absolutely LOVE seeing the band in full uniform and listening to them play in an indoor venue really was awesome to hear.
The band played for about thirty minutes and it went great. I did like that they took requests, however for most people not knowing lots of Scots songs and melodies there were some repeated songs.

They did play my favorite song though, which is Clusmy Lover, it is a chaotic, crazy, and drunken-style song. When I requested it, he asked if the audience could come up with any other song, because it is a very difficult song to play on the pipes, and only two of our five drummers knew any sort of music for it. I added it to the post, and the quality is horrible for two reasons: digging for batteries in my purse, dodging kids and well, yes, I did dance a little bit. (Okay, thats three things, but its true.)

The UP! House

I love this concept, the media attention it is getting and how cute it is! Do you recognize this house? It's the house from Disney's UP! KSL has the full set of photos on their website (just search UP House).
The house was made exactly like the movie has it, from the unique bathtub, to the paintings on the walls! Even the Mailbox says "Carl and Ellie!" I think this is so adorable!
Bangerter homes built this home and I really hope to see more photos from this house while they have it open to the pubic (per KSL they'll have it open to the public for a little bit of time before handing over the keys and making it very private for the owners).

Would you move into a place like this? If it had enough room and we had the means of paying for it, I very well might!
I do not own this photo, it was found on Tumblr.

Pirates at the Pirate Party!

My nephew turned SEVEN this weekend! Where has the time gone?

He is probably the luckiest kid ever simply due to his grandma and grandpa. He told them it was a pirate party, and they came dressed for the occasion! (Everyone loved it!)

We all swam, had fun and ate yummy birthday cake with lots of frosting!

Happy Birthday Sir-Jay! We love you!

Photo of our lil Peanut

Had to go get a better ultrasound today due to the doc not being able to get a clear photo yesterday- and here it is! Our lil Peanut! Today the baby is 7 weeks old and 6 days. Per the ultrasound tech the sooner the ultrasound, the better the estimate for the due date. Our due date is now Feb 25th, 2012, instead of Feb 29th, 2012, which we had guessed yesterday. Baby's gonna come when it wants to come- due dates really don't mean much :)
