Good Things:

Monday, Monday - what to blog about?  I actually had a great weekend and thought I'd share a few of the good things:

Easter - obviously.  Gorgeous day here in Utah, wonderful church service, followed by a great afternoon with the fam.  

Family Fun on Friday - It was a soccer weekend, date night with the Hubby.  But Friday was about the kids.  We headed to the stadium for Friday Friendly.  It's a free little mini-party for fans with food, prizes, a video FIFA tournament, and fun kiddie activities.  The kids enjoyed the bounce-house, and trying to kick the ball into the goal.  I enjoyed winning one of the drawings.  Hello Subway giftcard, Chile Verde giftcard, RSL Christmas tree decoration, and RSL/Budweiser beer glass (Do you think the glass will be offended that it will be used for drinking mostly milk or water, with maybe the occasional soda?).

New music to love - I have some great new music to share.  It's the highlight of my post - I hope you'll listen!  Saturday when we got to the stadium, Carnival ReAL was going on.  It's a little pre-game carnival with fun booths and games and such.  Saturday they had live music!  We were headed into the stadium, but this song caught my attention.  I asked Hubby could we please go over to the grass and listen for a bit.  We don't often enjoy the same music, but we both dug what we heard from local band, Argyle.  They sound great, and as an added bonus are super cute.  You know I have to give a shout-out whenever I stumble upon some great home-grown talent!  I seriously am proud of the talent we have here in Utah, and I like to help spread the word whenever I can!  I hope you'll take a listen, I think you'll like what hear.  If you do, I encourage you to go over and like them on facebook!



They sound great, right?  Totally using my iTunes gift card to snag their album.

And last but definitely not least:

Winning!

My boys kicked some Colorado trash!  The Colorado Rapids are basically our archnemeses.  We battle every year for the Rocky Mountain Cup.  There is nothing like a rivalry to bring out my trash-talking, ref-scolding, loudmouth healthily competitive side.    We dominated the first leg Saturday night, the atmosphere was amazing, and the boys played like champions!  It was a great night.


The fans bring down the house.  Always.  Credit

How was your Easter weekend?  Hope it was great like mine!!

I'm linking up here!

Sounds like a great weekend.

And I think as long as you don't TELL your beer glass that it's a beer glass, it won't be offended by what you drink out of it. ;-)

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...

Called To Serve

Detroit, Michigan.  That's where my boy will be serving for the next 2 years.  Perhaps he won't be right in the city the whole time. Perhaps he won't spend any time in the city at all.  But the Michigan, Detroit mission is where he has been called to serve. I don't think it has completely hit me yet.  It's not really possible to comprehend the reality of Kaden being 1,600 miles away for 2 solid years with only written contact except for the 2 times a year he will be able to call/skype home.  Like, I literally can't imagine what it will be like or how it will feel.  I'm sure it's going to be hard at times, that I'll miss him like crazy and just want to hear his voice.  We've always had a close relationship and we talk about anything and everything.  It's hard to imagine only speaking in person 4 times over the next two years. But there is absolutely no place I'd rather have him be, and nothing else I'd rather have him doing than ...
