This Made My Day!



I went to a breastfeeding class and they showed this movie, it was late at night and if you know me you know I start to get giggly late at night if I am really tired. That night I was really tired and they showed this, I was laughing so much I had tears streaming down my face, there were only like 5 people in the class to so you can imagine how embarrassed I was! But this is a funny video, my favorite part is when the dad just puts baby powder on the baby's bum and then the baby toots the powder right in the dad's face! hahahahahhahaha. I know Herbert won't have the gag reflexes of these dads. I might though!

One of THOSE days.

Well it really has been one of THOSE days today. Here is what happened, step by step, Up at 8 clean a little, Herbert does homework, 9 am some people come to pick up our filing cabinet! YES CRAIGSLIST IS AMAZING!! Hurry and drive to wells fargo for appointment at 9:30 about setting up a IRA/CD account. Hurry and drop Herbert off at school by 10, drive back to apartment to meet with other people who want to buy our table, they don't show up, totally lame! So I start cleaning and setting up for this Moving Sale/Paparazzi Party for today from 1-3, I'm getting everything set up and start to bake a cake and cut veggies and fruit and Herbert calls me, its 12:30 and he forgot something at home. Thank goodness it only takes like 8 minutes to get from home to school (That is something I am really going to miss about Rexburg). Then the perfect storm happens, I am driving with the windows down because it is B-E-A-UTIFUL outside and I hear our car make its normal clunk-clunk-clunk noise but this time it seems a little louder than normal. I am half way to BYU-Idaho when the car makes a loud CRACK sound and shuts off. So I steer it over to the side of the road and turn it off. I call Herbert and tell him what just happened, I try to start the car again and it starts and turns the corner and shuts down again. I have a few minutes by myself so I try to assess the situation, I am surprised how many people drive by a pregnant woman with the hood of a car up. A girl pulls over and asks if I need help, thank you random stranger!!! I call my friend for a ride for me back home (life saver! She was also coming to the party) she picks up Herbert on her way and makes it to our car just as our neighbor does who is a car guru. Thank goodness for small towns and good people. My friend gives me a ride home and I get there 4 minutes before the cake would be done, Herbert gets the car all figured out and its getting fixed, the party goes great and everything is amazing! We are so blessed! Craziest 1/2 hour of my life! Ok that might be a little dramatic but it felt a little crazier than normal.

Everything worked out amazingly and I am so greatful for amazing people around us who care. Hopefully our car will get fixed so we can drive it to Denver next week! Yikes!!

Also, tonight I get to go see THE HUNGER GAMES!!!! I am so beyond excited its ridiculous!

A New Business


If you have not heard of Paparazzi it is awesome!!! I just started as an independent consultant with them and it is really fun. Everything is $5 or $5.50 with tax! Headbands, necklaces that include earrings, bracelets, flower hair clips, rings, earrings and more. It is set up similar to Mary Kay and others where you host a party and people come and snack and shop for items. The only difference is that Paparazzi is so in expensive that everyone can afford it! It makes you feel good about yourself too. I love wearing my necklaces and headbands out in public, people almost always comment on them. Check it out at www.paparazziaccessories.com

I had a party last week with a good friend and made $80! My friend loved it because she got 3 free items! 2 for just hosting a party and 1 more because of how much everyone spent! If you are interested in hosting a party there are paparazzi consultants all over! Its is a new company and now is the time to get started!

Its a lot cheaper to start up too compared to Pampered Chef, Mary Kay and others. Its so easy to sign up to be a consultant, we each have numbers so you sign up underneath someone creating a family tree. My consultant number is 4112 if anyone is interested in signing up! We are excited because I can keep up with Paparazzi even after we have our baby! This is as my husband would say "the best of both worlds." I just had to gush a little on here because every time I think about paparazzi it makes me so excited!!!

Life Changes

Life...Well one of life's certainties is change right? We have had quite a bit of it lately.
The preschool I was working at closed so I have been trying to figure out what to do about a job. I already make phone calls for State Farm but that's only 5 hours a week. So with a friends help I decided to become a Paparazzi Consultant, if you don't know what this is its $5 Accessories. The accessories are actually very beautiful and sell themselves so I am really excited as I am not the best sales person but I can sell something that is amazing for $5! It is a relatively new company (2 years old) but has expanded from two families in Salt Lake City, Utah to all over the country and world. This is just one exciting change! http://www.paparazziaccessories.com

Another big change is I am moving to Denver at the end of March instead of the end of April, I will come back for Herbert's graduation (another change) on April 6th. Then when he leaves to go on his 2 week tour with the BYU-Idaho Jazz band Sound Alliance to the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, I will head back to Denver to continue working until we have our baby in July. Herbert will come back from his trip and pack up a moving truck and drive to Denver at the end of April then start his Full time job at Sansio! We are really excited!!!

The changes keep coming though! We find out this week if we are having a boy or a girl. Any guesses? I am sooo excited to find out! You know when you go shopping and find a great sale on baby clothes but they are all blue or pink!? That doesn't work if you don't know what you are having! We will be so excited either way, we have not had any strong feeling one way or the other so it is going to be a complete surprise. I will post it on here when we find out!

Arn't we going to be good parents?! haha, we wanted to make my sister Sarah laugh when she came to visit us so Herbert dressed up for bed time. Isn't he cute!?
