Staycation

This last week my family had a "staycation". Meaning: A vacation at home (SLC). My sister flew in from Arizona and we got the party started! Some of our activities included: Girls got Pedicures, Guys went shooting, we all went to This is the Place, Zoo, Aquarium, Clark Planetarium, Snowbird (tram ride), Lion's House for lunch, Drive in Movie, Thanksgiving Point Gardens and Museum, and got family pictures taken.

Seriously-we all had a blast!

Parker loves being in the stroller, so the week was enjoyable for him too! Ok, here comes a ton of pictures from the week. Enjoy!

If this doesn't make your heart melt, I don't know what would!


This little guy has been SMILING at us a lot these past few days! SO stinkin' cute if you ask me!!!

Blessing & Our Basement Apartment

Parker's baby blessing was this past Sunday. It was wonderful! Darrin did a great job blessing our little boy and he was so reverent :). Didn't cry the whole entire meeting! Way to go buddy! Not to mention, I think he looked pretty handsome! After the meeting we had family and a few friends over for lunch. In order to fit 50 people in our house (ya-I know-crazy!) we knew we'd have to finish our basement and host the event down there. Our upstairs just isn't big enough. Plus, it gave us a deadline to get the basement done (we needed one!). So, LOTS and LOTS of work later, we finished (mostly) on Saturday night thanks to help from family (THANK YOU!!!). I will post pictures of the blessing and the basement apartment. Refer to this post: http://dtsimonsmiles.blogspot.com/2010/04/big-project.html to see before pictures of the basement. If you know of anyone looking PLEASE pass the word along :)!
