QUICK

Bandidos Border Grill (in Layton) is my new favorite Mexican restaurant.  I just found on citydeals.com (type Bandidos in the keyword search) they have a $26.00 gift certificate for 50% off, plus use the code BAND20 and get another 20% off and FREE SHIPPING. 
Be quick cause this may not last long.
$10.40 for $26.00 of food (does not include tip)

*We went to Bandidos for M's b-day.  That girl loves salsa!!!  Look at that look she gave the Mr. for stealing some of her salsa.

This is my 3rd time using city deals - I heart a good find!

Quote

I found this quote and I love it. Thought I would share.

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautiful tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk's lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my nails from helping weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheek and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

Happy 2nd Birthday Baby!

This weekend we did some celebrating!!!
I can't believe my baby is now...

{TWO}
or in her words, eight -  holding up one finger!

Who wants to smile when there is so much candy?

*I have a new found respect for cake decorators.

2 is better than 1!

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!

We love you so much.  We are grateful to have you part of our family.

Love Notes

Here's an idea to make someone's day a little brighter!

Leave them a little note.

To start you will need a few stamps/pads and some cardstock.

I found these stamps at Micheals Arts and Crafts for $1 each.

Stamp on cardstock.  *Thanks E for your help!  She loves to stamp.

Cut them out.

All done! 

Leave them on their pillow, on their car, with their lunch, pretty much anywhere!

Can be used alone or you can write on the back!

I like it when I find one in my lunch as well!

Lazy Days

Having a sick kid is the worst ok i kinda like it because they like to snuggle.  We have watched a lot of tv, done a lot of laundry, cleaned up a lot of gross things and tried to just be there for her.  One of my favorite movies that we watched was...

I know I'm about 6 months late on this but we just saw this for the first time and absolutely loved it.  This one is definitely one to buy!

Stuffy Nose?

I have found my Neti Pot to be the best thing to clear out my sinuses.  It is crazy how it cleans them out and makes it easier to breathe.  It also helps with the dry air in winter by keeping the sinuses moist.  The Neti Pot helps during allergy season as well.

It's a little weird getting used to it, but it feels so good once the mucus is flushed out! 
I have also found that Advil Cold and Sinus is WONDERFUL for treating colds!
(The generic brand doesn't work as well)

Sooo Cute

Sunday afternoon we where cleaning up after dinner and had Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" CD going and the song "Never Grow Up" came on.  The lyrics are so cute.  It made me really think, and shed a few tears about how fast time is going by.  My girls are growing up so fast.  Where does the time go? 

I can't find the official video - so just listen to the words.

Johnny Kolache

If you are ever in Salt Lake you have got to try Johnny Kolache. It is unlike anything I have ever tasted. Go early because once they are gone they're gone. They are even great frozen and eaten later. Sometimes Johnny is there. He is hilarious. Ask to sign the wall. We did!

900 S. 248 W. Salt Lake City

 This is our new friend - Johnny wasn't there that day!

Delish!
