McKay Kameron Dayton

December 28th, 2011

Best partner/coach anyone could ask for.

Uncle Lynn. We couldn't be more lucky to have family deliver McKay.

He helped our worries disappear as soon as he would enter the room.

2011-11-29T14:27:00.000-08:00

I was doing a little ~~spring~~ winter cleaning last night and came across 3 journals. Yep, 3. None of them completed of course. I always get on these kicks where I will write in my journal for a couple of weeks and then just forget about it. The last entry I have is about George and how great he is, nothing has changed of course. But the entry was from last year August. I decided I need to keep better track of all the memories my family and I create. Besides the hundreds of photo's on our computer & phones I thought I would update my blog, for if not myself.

1st grade photo.

Maybe Santa will bring his front teeth?

In preparing for baby we decided to paint Isaac's furniture black.

I realize I need a better picture.

This is the first night, it's probably was still a little damp.

oh well.

Painters coming to do the whole house tomorrow. New carpet next week!

Winter is near! I love making homemade soups.

I'm sooo excited for the Holidays.

My calendar is quite full this year of parties, activities and people to see!

2011-08-20T14:03:00.000-07:00

19 weeks today. Almost 1/2 way through!

Goodbye jeans and hello leggings!

2011-08-14T12:54:00.000-07:00

I couldn't be happier to have Isaac home from his Florida trip.

We have one more week before school starts!

We are doing as many summer activities before Isaac becomes a 1st grader!

George's dad is turning 70.

We are going to Flemmings in Vegas for dinner and you can

bet I am going to H&M to look for these beauties...

2011-08-02T15:15:00.000-07:00

I was going through old pictures

and found these beauties.

Isaac got practice real early to be a big brother.

These 2 have always been buddies.

I could just eat him up.

He's the cutest one.

Isaac's crazy face.

Excited to see this little guy on Sunday...

What a great surprise!

2011-07-11T13:24:00.000-07:00

I'm leaving Saturday to see these little folks!
George, Kacey and my mom
surprised me with a plane ticket to see the Florida folks.
I can't wait to give Isaac a big squeeze.

One of my favorite little ladies in dance class.

She's taking after her auntie!

2011-05-29T15:23:00.000-07:00

Even though I have missed George like crazy while he's out of the country working, I couldn't be more proud of him. Here are a few shots from his team's camera.

2011-05-27T09:42:00.000-07:00

So sad to say goodbye to my dear friend Oprah.

I have loved this show since I was at least in the 1st grade.

I loved watching it with my mom at 4:00 on the dot..before DVR of course.

I am not hurting for TV shows. My DVR is plenty full :)

2011-05-23T10:25:00.000-07:00

CALIFORNIA 2011.

These pictures aren't in any order but you get the idea.

So much fun. Loved date night with my boys every night.

Stayed in the most amazing Four Seasons.

Want to go back.........now.

Loved having a full kitchen and laundry room in our room.

On our way to Disneyland.

Mommy took a break from building castles to read.

Isaac hates shopping.

George grew up going to Dodger games with his Grandpa.

I hope we can continue this tradition and make it to a Dodger game

or two a year.

Wish I could have gotten a picture of Isaac

on the jumbotron dancing.

Toy Story. George beat us in point by a landslide.

Isaac loves taking pictures.

2011-04-29T15:31:00.000-07:00

Is it illegal to sleep in the post office parking lot?

I knew I loved you the moment I laid eyes on you.

Speaking of eyes.

got my eyeliner tattooed.

Looking at this picture I realize I need a photo facial! lots of freckles. and maybe comb my eyelashes while I won't be wearing mascara for a week. grrr

2011-04-25T10:23:00.000-07:00

EASTER 2011

My two handsome men, with the sun

in their eyes.

Angry Birds on Easter, why not?

*For the record I took no less than 15 pictures, but these boys would not look at the camera.

Easter egg hunt at Thanksgiving Point.

I have known Brandston's mom for 15 years.
I am glad she lives so close now.
It's like nothing has changed. I am thankful
for our friendship. We both hope these two little
county boys will remain lifelong friends.

I couldn't resist. I just love Chik-fa-la!

The Easter Egg hunt was SO crowded.

Rachael and I were getting so annoyed with all the pushy parents.

So we left and went to Jump On It.

We both agreed that we would end up

in a bad mood if we had to stay at Thanksgiving Point any longer.

Bad mood mom's? Bad mood kids.

No beuno.

Homeade Kneaders french toast.

Isaac's not the biggest eater. But he downed this meal.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter this year.

Leaving for California in 2 weeks!

2011-04-12T14:14:00.000-07:00

Today is one of those days where I am

growing REALLY restless.

For the first time in my life I feel like

I NEED a vacation. I don't want a vacation,

I ABSOLUTELY NEED a vacation.

I quite possibly could go postal any second.

I want to explore. See new faces. Meet new people.

Dress up. Dress down.

Okay. I'm going back to work now.

2011-03-21T11:22:00.000-07:00

Because I'm so horrible at taking pictures,

I thought I'd upload some of my IPhone photo's.

Completely random. I know. But when I was at

my friend Stacey's house she had this dresser.

I thought it looked like my sister Kacey's. So I had Kacey

send me a picture of the dresser so I could compare.

I also had to show Stacey how much jewelry was on my sister's other dresser.

Do you think she has an obsession with jewelry?

You be the judge.

That's only the the top drawer.

*I also know there is more in the bathroom closet.

Isaac wanted me to take a picture of him in

his ONLY green shirt for St. Patrick's day.

Green and white collard shirt for St. Patty's?

I know, I suck. Next year I will get him a cool green T-Shirt.

Sunday Ski day.

Isaac and I on a date. His favorite, Pizza Factory.

I emailed this photo to myself and saved it

on my phone. 4 days old. First bath in the sink.

Promise to take pictures this weekend on my

family ski trip.

2011-02-22T18:27:00.000-08:00

This was 3 years ago.

This was last week.

6 years old!

We went to Malawi's pizza. This kid has

more Nerf guns than one kid should have.

Thank You you to all our friends for coming!

I love you Buster!

2011-02-15T10:17:00.000-08:00

Happy Valentines Day!

George found a heart in our frosting on Sunday :)

This year Valentines was extra special.

It was George and I's 4th V-day together.

1st one as a married couple!

After eating out ALL weekend, we opted

for a lunch date

after Isaac's class party.

My cute husband showed up with

a big bouquet of flowers.

I think all the other ladies were jealous :)

I kinda got teary reading his card.

I have the most loving husband in the world.

I set them up at my "office"

My man got me tickets to see Adele in May.

Got me this beauty.

Completely surprised by both gifts.
I actually needed a watch because
my favorite one fell into the sink at the salon :(

Thankful for such a thoughtful husband.

2011-02-09T12:56:00.000-08:00

To baby or not?

For the last couple of months I've been

OBSESSED with getting pregnant.Until Sunday.

Last weekend was one of busiest weeks at the salon.

It was the first time I had to tell someone

I had to push their appointment out

until the next week. It felt good.

Since switching to doing hair full time (and managing the store)

I feel like I'm really starting to build my clientele.

What would have I done with the baby

while trying to manage my clients?

I have seen so many women who have lost their husbands,

or he's lost his job and

I'm grateful that if needs be I can support

our little family...I'd have to give up

a few goodies, but I could make it work.

I feel like I am on the edge of something

really great. But I'm not getting any younger.

AND it's not that easy getting pregnant! So for now, I will do what

George has told me to do.."Chill out, if it happens it happens"

In the meantime I am looking forward to celebrating my

least favorite holiday.

Valentines.

I know what I am getting on Monday, super excited!
Whenever Geroge has a suprise he ruins it by saying
"I have a suprise for you"
You'll have to check back to see what it is!

Whenevere I hear the song of a bird.....

2011-02-06T08:48:00.000-08:00

After 3 days of feeling like I had strep I woke

up to a ruptured eardrum.

Not awesome.

I have a new found respect for deaf people.

I am waiting for my hearing to come back in my right ear.

Frustrated.

2011-01-11T10:17:00.000-08:00

Excited to transfer to University Gap!

I am happy to be re-united with this lady..

Looking forward to Gap's new stuff..

Isaac needs these jeans..

Reason's I love Gap..

Discount. Hello.

Discount. Hi 50% off Banana too?!?!?

The people. Gap employees are soo fun to work with.

I have enjoyed being a manager at Provo Towne

because the sales associates are a riot.

I am going to miss most of them. :)

I am thankful for the friendships I have gained through Gap.

I am glad that Tiffany and Rachael are moving to University.

Excited about Chik-Fa-La and Nordstrom coffee.

Nervous about working with a lot of new

people..it feels like the first day at school :)

2010-12-13T14:20:00.000-08:00

Ready or not Christmas is coming!

Isaac making sure Santa gets the exact one that he wants.

Kortney's last game :(

2010-10-11T09:14:00.000-07:00

I have a lot of caching up to do...

date night

Isaac playing with neighbor friends

GeORgE's 40th BIRTHDAY

APX/ Nitro Circus

Isaac's 1st day at little hoopsters basketball camp

Sleepwalking...

2010-09-19T13:24:00.000-07:00

I should be posting pictures of my adorable family but

I am too lazy to get up and get my camera.

I am thankful for my day off today.

An amazing opportunity came to my dad and thankfully he

passed it on to me.

Cry Baby is a brand new company based in Scottsdale.

It's really hard selling something that doesn't exist. But Thursday evening

I trained my first group of 6 people on how to use the product.

I am excited for our company to grow but nervous too. I can't imagine

what it's going to be like when we start traveling all over the US.

I am thankful I have a supporting husband who believes in me.

I owe a lot to my mom for watching Isaac when I am in 6 hour meetings.

(People just love to hear themselves talk)

Happy Birthday to my husband..

2010-08-27T14:21:00.000-07:00

This man turns 40 tomorrow.

George,

I am so lucky that you picked ME to spend the next 40+

years with. I'm thankful for everything you do for our

little family. I'm also thankful to my Heavenly Father that

he sent you into my life when he did. I am amazed at

how much love you have to give. There is no one as patient,

caring and lovable as you. You make me want to be better at

everything I do, just so I can keep up with you :)

Every day just keeps getting better and better.

I love you.

Happy Birthday

2010-08-27T09:15:00.000-07:00

This is a shout out to my beautiful and mucho talented sister.

Look at how cute little Saylor's birthday party was!

Sad we missed it.

2010-08-19T20:56:00.000-07:00

There is the biggest thunder storm outside.

Here is a look at what I have been doing for the last hour...

Organizing pictures.

Sephora.com

Banana Runway

Dior. Ahhh I just love the equestrian look.

Dolce & Gabana

Alice & Olivia

If you can't tell I'm looking forward to fall.

2010-07-27T10:42:00.000-07:00

This is us in Aspen on our Honeymoon.

It's been a month but it is still just as exciting and fun.

We got a new computer so hopefully

I will blog some updates soon..

Me and my husband.

Husband.

Ahhh I like saying that word.

2010-06-28T19:59:00.000-07:00

I'm honored to be Mrs. George Dayton...

WE DID IT!

More pics later.

2010-05-22T09:33:00.000-07:00

This is a shout out to our awesome photographer Becky Kimball.

I LOVE the way our pictures turned out. If you want some fabulous pictures done,

check it out

HERE.

thursday.

enough said.

2010-05-18T16:07:00.000-07:00

May thus far..

We did our "Groomals", Engagement/family pictures last week.

This picture is from my mom's camera.

I can't wait to see the ones from the photographer.

This is Isaac on the way to Mothers Day brunch.

Isaac in his preschool graduation gown :)

Sunday Dinner before Isaac left for FL.

I've found a new love for grilled artichokes. Yum.

Things about me that may interest you or bore you to death...

2010-05-04T15:53:00.000-07:00

I like...

To eat ice cream out of the container with a fork.

Fashion. But I can't seem to dress myself.

Getting mail.

MAGAZINES.

It take me about 2-4 days to complete one magazine.

I flip through just to scan. Then I start from the back and look

at the pictures. Then I read cover to cover. Then I leave it out for

a couple days so I can flip through to find pictures that excite my creativity.

Magazines are my thing. Get over it okay? :)

I like to "fiddle" in the bathroom. Floss, bleach, wax, organize. You name it.

CLEANING. It relaxes me. I start with my bathroom every time.

CHURCH. I have a really hard time paying attention but

I like the quiet time sitting next to the people I love most.

Love kiwis.

Getting texts from my Florida friends makes me smile.

I need music on in the back round to function.

I like when Isaac crawls into bed with me. But after about 20 minutes

I put him back because I need all the leg room I can get.

I like the thought of moving into George's home, but I know

I will be really homesick for a while.

Painting my nails relaxes me.

I like to keep a calendar. Because going back and looking

at it is always fun. I still have the calendar from the month Isaac was born.

I like the feeling when I know my clients are happy with the work I did.

I like when Isaac needs me after he gets hurt outside.

I like to take a really long hot shower and get in bed with my robe on and my hair wet.

I am addicted to aquaphor.

I can't wait for an Internet page to load before I think of something else I want to look at.

I could live without..

The outdoors. My allergies KILL me. I get a red rash just from the grass.

Drivers who don't merge. My best friend Kelli used to be the worst.

I hate tomatoes on salads or by themselves but I love them on sandwiches.

Flossing. I just don't like to do it.

I've probably only slept with makeup on 3 or 4 times in my whole entire life.

My divorce was the darkest period of my life but I am glad I went through it

because it made me realize what I really wanted for a husband.

I have asthma but I didn't know it until 2 years ago. I thought the burning feeling

when you ran was normal.

I cheat on every single diet I start.

The thought of losing a family member freaks me out.

I have a really hard time communicating when something means a lot to me.

I end up crying and not saying a single thing that I want to.

Hate seafood. The smell. The texture. Yak.

Hate that I am on the computer and not exercising.

2010-04-30T17:25:00.000-07:00

Aren't they cute?

This is from my phone.

My mom wanted to point out the cute

shoes but I accidently cut them off.

P.S. I'm engaged.

You wouldn't know it because I have not

had any time to plan a wedding.

Do I have to have one?

I want to be these people....

How nice would that be?

Will anyone judge us if we run away and get married?

2010-04-18T19:08:00.000-07:00

I PHOTO

I am restoring my Iphone. It's a pain.

I look at the pictures on my phone when

I have free time in the car, on my lunch break etc.

Thought I would share some with you ...

Vacation. Sleeping at my sisters house.

Grocery shopping

Days Market Donuts. Thanks Stacey!

Ahhh...I'm lucky.

Sawyer in 1/2 of his pj's and Saylors dress up shoes.

Isaac doesn't have "see through" lashes here!

Hey, he asked me to do it.

I made George his favorite cake f

or our 2 year anniversary.

BYU game. So cold and wet.

His favorite thing to do.

Spring Break 2010

Dancing in the car. He did not like the

car wash that followed.

Thanksgiving 2009. My sisters backyard.

Need I say more?

Kacey's favorite glasses that I found

in Isaac's toy basket.

Fruit Pizza that Isaac and I made.

Penne Rosa from Noodles and Co.

Love the hot sauce on the side.

Breakfast. Peaches and Cream Oatmeal.

THE END.

2010-04-12T17:06:00.000-07:00

Wow 2 posts in one week!

If I don't post while the pictures are

new and fresh, I'll probably never post or

worse..never take the pictures off the camera onto the computer.

We went to BOONDOCKS on Saturday and had a blast!

I'm starting to love the weather!

Isaac has mad skills at everything he does.

*Nice butt shot I know. But Christopher HATED when it was time to hit the ball.

So he would watch the ball very carefully until it was time for him to hold it again.

He LOVES cars!

Thursday night we decided to go to the Passion Pit show.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z73EHA9fsAo

The next day George and were talking about our future and

we made a promise to each other that we will

never loose sight of things that make us enjoy life just a little bit more.

Music is one of those little passions that we share.

If you just glance at this picture it looks like George with crazy hair.

It's one of the "band members"

Speaking of Music. ...

George is going to Coachella for his annual "Better then Christmas" week of music.

I'm going to miss him so much and wish I was going, but

the moment I found out he was going to camp, I put

my love live music on the back burner. No dry shampoo can replace a hot shower

and clean sheets.
But I'm still a little jealous.

2010-04-09T10:20:00.000-07:00

Um so it's been a while.

So much has been going on but I wish I had

pictures to tell the tale.

Aunt CC and the kids came to visit and Isaac had

a lot of fun. All the kids are growing up too fast.

Isaac was the "VIP" at school.

My parents gave George a day pass to Sundance.
The stomach flu hit our entire family the one
weekend I told Isaac we would go skiing.
He had already recovered and he was dying to go.
Uncle Kam ended up taking him, and when they got to
the resort Kam discovered that the day pass was for five days.
So between George and I we took Isaac skiing 4 times in 10 days.

Easter Sunday was the last ski day for Sundance.

This is us at the very top of the Mountain having

hot coco at Bearclaw.

2010-03-08T16:44:00.000-08:00

This is us. We are HAPPY! Can't you tell?

Engaged on Monday March 1st!

Isaac and I are so lucky.

*Seriously. This is us being ugly while watching the Oscars.

Isaac's birthday party!

Thanks Grandma and Papa for the new bike!

Uncle Kam showing Isaac how to use his slingshot. Uh oh!

I came across these last two pictures.

I'm pretty sure Isaac was playing with the camera.

These two look like they are up to no good!

2010-02-18T18:37:00.000-08:00

5 years ago my life was forever changed.

Isaac, you are the most important thing in my world.

Heavenly Father truley has blessed me.

I love you so much.

Happy birthday "muggles"!!!

Love, Mommy

LOVE DAY

2010-02-16T17:33:00.000-08:00

May 28th. Really.

Oh how I loved me some Valentines Day this year.

Isaac always has the sweetest things to say to his mommy.

George always has the sweetest cards with the sweetest

words..(and it doesn't hurt that he ALWAYS delivers on the gifts) ;)

After putting the little man down for bed George and I

went to this place to eat..

So quiet and romantic

Then we tortured ourselves with this movie.

Quantity not Quality

I fell off the face of the earth.

2010-01-18T18:04:00.000-08:00

I have been so busy for the past couple weeks.

There was also 700 pictures I needed to go through.

As you can see I didn't get to most of them because I don't

have too many pictures from Christmas uploaded.

GOLDEN GLOBES

I must be so vain, but I LOVE award shows.

Oh Ricky, how I love thee

Hated this dress. Sorry.

So predictable and boring.

Stunning.

George is starting Sundance Film Festival this week.

I'm not looking forward to him being gone a lot.

I get homesick for him if I am away from him too long.

That's all.

THANKS and giving

2009-12-08T12:48:00.000-08:00

George and I went to Orlando

to pick Isaac up from his Thanksgiving visit.

I can't find the camera cord so

most of these are off of my phone.

We had such a good time.

Bad thing is, we had such a good time

we are already talking about NY..and we just got home!

* We HAD to stop at Gap at the Millena

mall on our way to the airport

because they had ski pants. Imagine that

I found ski pants in FL. I just couldn't resist buying

cute ski pants and snow boots for Isaac for 50% off!

Stella McCartney for Gap. I want this!

Our favorite thing to do!

Saylor Sophie. I must have been in charge of her.

That girl took her clothes off as soon

as we got back from Einsteins.

Capelli Salon Party @ Olive Garden.

Getting ready for Christmas!

Missing everyone right now

2009-11-16T17:39:00.000-08:00

I can't seem to get a handle on time.

It's just moving by SO quickly.

I got offered a management position at Gap and

happily accepted. I am so glad that

I have amazing employees to work with

both at Gap and at Capelli. It makes going

to work each day that much better.

Whitney's baby shower at Brick Oven.

*thanks Tiffany for the pirated pictures :)

So excited for Whitney & Ryan!

I miss George. He's in Los Angeles working.

Not seeing him at night just feels weird.

I am glad I have a boyfriend who doesn't

like to be away from me as much as I hate

being away from him. I love you..now come back okay?

St. George on Friday, busy work day Saturday

and Orlando next week!

I am looking forward to seeing Isaac in Orlando

and I can't wait to see this little girl....

* I feel like a bad mom/aunt..I just don't have any

new pictures of Isaac or Sawyer bug.

The picture I do have of Sawyer is sooo cute but

it can't be released to the public until

CC's X-Mas cards

are sent out :)

I might have to see this movie...

Bad Blogger Bad...

2009-11-11T08:35:00.000-08:00

A lot has happened in the past couple of weeks..

Isaac went to FL to visit his dad for Halloween.

He was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

I am not sure how he came to love that costume

idea but for the last two months that's all he wanted to be.

He's only seen the movie once.

But he looked adorable. We miss him a lot.

September Issue @ Broadway Theatre SLC

* Must see "This is It" ...loved it!

Sometimes we play dress up..

Making cupcakes.

Caramel apples for FHE

COUNTDOWN FOR OUR ORLANDO TRIP!!!!

No more mom jeans..

2009-10-15T08:38:00.000-07:00

My jiggley parts are starting to scare me.
My mom went on a cruise with her girlfriends and
they all raved about Jillian Michaels "30 Day Shred"
After hearing this I put the last of my
Little Debbie Oatmeal cookie in my mouth

and headed to Target!
YAY Target!! Target with Isaac AND Christopher:

No Bueno.

So 6 days later (yep it went un-opened for almost a week)
It haunted me when I woke up and went to sleep each night.
Along with the receipt that sat on top of the DVD, in case I wanted to return it.
The day after watching Biggest Looser

while the kids were asleep
I went into the basement and tried this baby out!
DO NOT try this DVD without a bra.

The whole work out Jillian
insists to NOT take a break.

But I HAD to run upstairs and put
my gym shoes on (which also rarely are used)

and a sports bra
(which I only bought because it was cute)...

To sum it all up..I CAN'T WALK! That DVD is killer.
20 min of burn. I know I am out of shape and I will work
up to it, but dang girls!!!!

BUY IT!

Oh Oprah how I LOVE thee.

Thank you for the preview of this beautiful film.

Can't wait for it....

Sometimes I lust for things....sometimes...

My hair has thanked me this morning

for using this elixir.

It's not a crime to have fabulous hair is it? jk

We have a lot of Pureology on sale!

Okay..back to work.

Love me some...

2009-09-23T09:48:00.000-07:00

LOVE me some sequin.

Got me some sequin.
I had been Jonesin' for a sequin hat
ever since I saw a cute one in CA.
Now I just need a hot date to wear it on.
*hint hint

I want to look HOT like this ;)

Or as HOT as this..

But not bored like this ;)

Playing house..

2009-09-08T15:51:00.000-07:00

This last weekend George, Kimmy and I played house. Kacey and Bobby went to Aspen for a wedding and we got the chance to babysit Sawyer and Saylor (I told them we would only babysit if we got really cool gifts jk). My Dad and Kam were gone hunting. We took Saylor and Isaac to the Zoo and we had a really good time. Actually I am lying. Hogle Zoo is the WORST zoo. DEAR UTAH, you have 1 zoo. Do you think you can actually have animals next time? Every cool animal wasn't there. Do all the animals take naps at the same time? At least Saylor and Isaac got what they really wanted..an overpriced blue and green slushy. George and I went on plenty of walks and spent time at the park with the kids. I didn't wear a lot of makeup, and spent a lot of time in workout clothes all weekend but I will have to say it made me love George and my mom even more. They were so patient and loving to the kids. It was a good example for me. Because life can get so stressful with kids and it's easy to loose sight of yourself and what's important.

George, date night soon okay?!?!

* For some reason as I was writing this blog entry I was thinking about the first time George met Isaac and my parents. I invited him and his friends (who conveniently didn't show up ) over for Sunday dinner. By this time George and I were still just friends but I was sure I had a big crush on him.Isaac had been snacking ALL day. Fast forward to dinner. Isaac had just barely turned 3. He was being silly and cute putting olives on his fingers and eating them. Well he began to choke on one... DING!!! Throw up everywhere. Mortified, I jumped to get Isaac and George without hesitation starting cleaning Isaac up and re assuring him that he was okay. THAT is the kind of person he is and one of the reasons I fell in love with him.

I HEART HIM!!!

I like these little jems too!

Not usually a Redken fan but I loove Satinwear Blow-dry gloss

Gap Boyfriend Jeans. Buy them. Love them.

CALIFORNIA ADVENTURE....

2009-09-01T18:51:00.000-07:00

This last weekend we went to sunny California.

We stayed at George's cousin Cameron's place in Irvine.

We had SO much fun.

The trip made me love my two boys

so much more. Lots of good food and LOTS AND LOTS of laughs.

There is still sand in our car...

Isaac the photographer

My favorite things...

YUMMY!

Isaac building his castle

Can you believe this place??

So warm, but oh so fun.

SPLASH MOUNTAIN!

Haunted Mansion

I Heart You...

Thank You Isaac and George for the great vacation.

This is just 1/4 of the pictures...

2009-08-24T09:34:00.000-07:00

SUCH GOOD SHOWS STARTING THIS FALL!!

2009-08-21T09:42:00.000-07:00

This little man is back....

It's so good to have you home Isaac!

5 more days until Disneyland and the beach!

Anyone who knows me will know that I have an

obsession with skincare.

I have tried all three of these moisturizers

and I will have to say that

Philosophy is my favorite so far.

P.S.
MY MOM IS RUNNING FOR
CITY COUNCIL!
GET OUT AND VOTE!
PLEASANT GROVE NEEDS A
HOT MOM! jk..
SHE'S GOT GREAT IDEAS AND
HOPES FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY!

At least the camera made it into my purse...

2009-08-09T10:12:00.000-07:00

I was going through George's

camera last night and found these random pictures.

We had the camera for once because

we did date night @ Gateway

and then saw the Joseph Smith movie.

BUT no pictures. I always forget to

take pictures.

Fireworks + church clothes. St. George 4th of July

Isaac getting all techno with glow sticks

Cokeville WY on the 24th

I was flipping through my Vogue magazine and
came across a beautiful spread of a mom and daughter.
They have a style blog.
They are from Austin (Oil money)
Anyways..I LOVE THIS BLOG!!!

It's better then Diorshow mascara...

2009-07-19T14:06:00.000-07:00

George and I went to Happy Sumo Friday

and after our meal we went to Borders.

I had mentioned that I wanted to read

Mercury in Retrograde because

I read a review

in Vogue.

Well I ran into a friend and while I was talking to her

he hurried, grabbed the book and purchased it.

He does stuff like that all the time.

ANYWHO..I started reading it Saturday morning.

I think I am going to love it.

It's along the lines of SATC meets Devil Wears Prada/

Shopaholic.

*Buy It.

Also my countdown is on for the movie called

"The September Issue." I am sure it will only play

at the Broadway Theatre in SLC. But it's a look into the

making of Vogues September issue.

*MRS. KINSALE BARKER:

I was in Borders and saw some

books that you recommended a while back

and it made me think

of you. Where is your blog???

July 4th, St. George and Isaac's summer visit...

2009-07-14T16:23:00.000-07:00

These pictures are so out of order. But Isaac and I spent some

quality time together before he left for the summer at his dad's.

We also went to George's parents home in St. George for the fourth.

Talk about HOT WEATHER!! Isaac had a blast playing

with the other kids.

I also celebrated my birthday Friday and Saturday.

I am trying to be better at taking pictures

but most of these are

from my phone.

Pool time just mommy and Isaac.

George gave me a flight to NYC.
I told him that I would rather him trade the flight
in for himself and just join me in Nov. for my trip to Orlando.

Such a creative card! Get it? "Big Apple"

Driving to St. George ..I thought the portable DVD player

was broken so he watched shows on my phone. Ends up the

DVD player worked just fine. Poor guy..such a small screen!

Kelli was in town with her boyfriend Scott.

I love her more then she knows. I am

so lucky to have a best friend like her.

Isaac LOVED In & Out.

I miss him so much. Last summer visit was really hard but not as hard

as this summer has been. It's only been one week and I am missing him like crazy.

I LOVE YOU ISAAC

Rodeo and no more training wheels!

2009-06-23T08:26:00.000-07:00

At the Rodeo

He thought the motorcross was the coolest thing.

He thought the football flyer he got at the parade was the coolest

Isaac learned to ride his bike!

Let's play ball!

2009-06-03T15:50:00.000-07:00

Isaac had his first T-Ball game.

He hit the ball so good.

Isaac with Weston at the Bee's game

2009-05-20T13:38:00.000-07:00

Everything is out of order. But Kacey and Kortney came in town

the same time. We had my dad's 50th!

50! Can you believe it?!

Isaac had his graduation and lots of playin' with the cousins.

Isaac loves his teachers.

* My mom asked each kid to write a letter to dad and read it

Isaac's high school buddy helping in the walking ceremony.

I think Kort was taking the pics because I can't find any of her

* notice the line on the house. Isaac + paint= not always good.

I miss her

This is the only Mother's Day picture I have.

This is Isaac talking to Renee. So for Mothers Day

I got the gift of a filthy child at church :)

Already looking forward to it.

*Happy Earth Day.*

Easter and Spring Break

2009-04-19T19:35:00.001-07:00

The "Easter Bunny" set up a scavenger hunt for Isaac and this
was his final stop.
Golf clubs and a basketball.
Of course lots of candy too!
I wish I had pictures of us in our Easter best, but it was a mad
dash to be on time for church.

Isaac on the moon!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CC!!

She's one HOT MO2 (mother of two)

My sister Kacey Jo turns 29 today!

She is amazing. She's everything I strive to be.

Bobby, Sawyer and Saylor are lucky

to have her as a wife and mommy.

I also share the luck with Kortney for getting such

a great big sister. I LOVE you CC!

PS...Spring is here!

I wish I could be like Isaac and enjoy the beautiful flowers blooming..

instead I feel like this...

Washington DC

2009-04-03T08:50:00.000-07:00

I flew on this...

Destination..

and this...

and this..

missed him...

Blogger is acting funny so I can't post pictures off my camera.

I loved being a "nanny" to baby Christopher!

2 more days and Isaac will be home!

2009-03-23T08:18:00.001-07:00

Isaac was the VIP at school.
He'll be in FL with his dad for the next two weeks!
We love you Isaac!

Last week George got tickets to
Odyssey's Can Can at Kingsbury Hall to celebrate
our one year anniversary!
Love you!

2009-03-18T15:48:00.001-07:00

I've been getting a lot of requests
for eyelash extensions lately.
Which made me wonder.
Is Utah really that far behind?
I certified with
Permanent Cosmetics in 2004 to do
lash extensions...and I feel like in the last year people
are starting to do them more often.
Anyways for those who don't want them, these two
things are what I would ask for on a deserted island.

Pretty sure the makeup Gods handcrafted this one.

Thank You DIOR!!!

GRADUATION!

2009-02-24T16:14:00.000-08:00

Graduate of Capelli!

Last time clocking in!

My awesome instructors.

He's already working on my taxes and accounting.

The man who has done so much for me.

Capelli CEO, my new boss, "Papa" ..DAD

Couldn't have made it through living in FL without them..

and I could eat that little girl.

My favorite client: my wonderful and beautiful mom.

Thanks to all my family who came to my graduation!

Look at how cute he is!

Can't wait to see him in a couple of days!

WHAT A FABULOUS MONTH!!

2009-02-23T09:05:00.000-08:00

FEBRUARY has been so much fun!

First our WHOLE family went to Park City for a ski trip to celebrate my mom's birthday.

Then I graduated from school (pics later)

Then we had the best Valentines (don't know how I didn't capture pictures)

THEN Isaac had a superman themed birthday with friends from the neighborhood.

THEN on Saturday afternoon my parents

surprised me with CELINE DION

tickets.

My mom had one of her cassette tapes and we would always play it in the car

when I was little. So Sunday night George and I stopped at

CPK at Gateway and then headed to the show. AMAZING!

I have a list of artists that I would DIE to see and she is on it.

I got to see her show and I am still alive!

Isaac at the skate park

4 years old!

Isaac on papa's back

Crazy to think we took pictures of our feet
while on the lift in the summer when we did the
Alpine Slide.

ISAAC IS A PRO!

ROCK OF LOVE BABY!

I'll save money on gel and hairspray for a while....

2009-02-03T16:22:00.000-08:00

Like Mother like Son...

Isaac got a grab of some scissors in the bathroom

and went to town on his hair.

*For the record* Papa was babysitting while mommy was at work :)

Sounds bizzarre I know... but although I was laughing,

I was secretly crying when I saw his hair.

Poor guy

After a buzz cut. It's still uneven but I refuse to go any shorter.

So much for the shag we were growing out for Spring.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!

My mom turned the big 50 yesterday. She looks fabulous I know.
On her birthday she took Isaac skiing.
I don't know a lot of grandma's that would do that.
My mom is amazing. I am so thankful for everything she does and is.
My favorite memory is when my mom would work graveyard
she would still manage to stop and get bagels for us kids.
I was sitting in my primary class when my dad told a story of my mom donating plasma in the begining of their marriage
so she could buy my dad something that he wanted.
I am thankful for her example.
She's made me realize how much talent I have and
that I can have the best of both worlds. She manages to do it all.

Ready to go!

He did such a great job!

Thanks mom and dad for taking him!

Get ready for the lift!

So excited for this week! CC, Saylor, Bobby and Sawyer are coming tomorrow!Can't wait to kiss that new little monkey.Our family is spending the weekend in Park City.We will miss Kortney. We are so proud of her.Keep up the hard work Kort!

Sundance 2009..A new found obsession

2009-01-24T10:30:00.000-08:00

These last two weeks I had an awesome

opportunity working

for Sting and his wife Trudie Styler at

Sundance Film Festival.

I was a little star struck

(especially after seeing Sting in his boxer

briefs on accident) but

it was so fun working with such beautiful clothes.

I raced from Park City to see James Morrison and Adele.

I am so glad I didn't miss this show. She is probably hands

down the best live singer. I liked her live better then her album. She's my new obsession.

2009-01-06T12:27:00.000-08:00

You know someone loves you when....

George and I were at dinner and I was craving Peppermint brownies from

Kneaders. But they were going to close before we would be done with our meal.

George called Kneaders and bought 6 brownies and put them on his credit card

and told the employee to leave them by the door.

Sounds extreme but I LOVE them. And him...

George got tickets to see Adele. I know he doesn't

particularly want to see her but he bought them

because he knows I like her.

I just hope Sundance film festival isn't too busy

so he'll be able to join me!

*This is Isaac finding his surprise Christmas tree.

2009-01-06T11:51:00.000-08:00

A look back on 2008.

Instead of sending everyone a Christmas card with pictures

and paragraphs of telling you how great I am and how Isaac is the next

genius..and some witty humor to keep you enticed while reading my

front and back page letter.. Seriously why do people do that?

ZZZZ...boring. Okay okay I am just kidding.

I thought I would share pictures from our busy year.

Me and Paris
Karl and I

My family in Times Square

Taj Mahal

Stonehenge

Statue David

The Red Square

Pagoda

*Isaac had a meeting to

attend to..hence the business attire

Machupicchu

Great Pyramids of Egypt

Effiel Tower

We hiked Mt. Everest for FHE.

Great Wall of China. Isaac looks so happy

because I told him he could eat noodles for dinner.

OKAY Seriously....
2008 was a crazy year. I am a week away from being done with school.
I am looking forward to it because I won't have to be to the
salon until 10 am. Which means I won't be rushing with Isaac every morning.
We'll be able to enjoy our Captain Crunch together.
I was a seasonal employee at Gap,
but they have asked me to stay on board.
Isaac LOVES writing. His favorite thing to write is his name (izooc)
Kortney and Christopher left this morning to head back to Washington DC.
We will miss that little boy. The house is going to be too quiet.
And as of two days ago..Kacey, Bobby and Saylor welcomed a new little boy.
*I'll let her blog the details before I post pics.

Looking forward to 2009!

Christmas 2008

2008-12-28T19:12:00.000-08:00

Isaac in his Sunday best.

* This is my brothers suit from 26 years ago.
Isaac opening his 2nd set of gifts in his room.
*Everyone set up a small tree in his room and after
opening gifts we sent him upstairs to look for the important ones.
He was so excited. Thanks to my family for planning that surprise!

Isaac's very own tree.

Tool set!

I wish I had a picture of Isaac's Christmas list he made at school.

He asked for a box of nails!?!?!?!?

I need more Kodak!

2008-12-16T19:04:00.000-08:00

It seems as though I never have a camera at the right times.
Last weekend Isaac, George and I went to temple square.
Let me back up...we MEANT to go to temple square.

Our date in SLC was shopping at Gateway, CPK and driving by temple square.
We stayed in the car because it was too crowded and Isaac was tired (aka cranky)

*These pictures are when

Isaac came to visit me at work.

To each their own....

2008-12-01T13:54:00.000-08:00

For the past week I have been traveling back and forth
to Orlando. Pssstt....Salt Lake and Denver are the worst airports.
I didn't realize how much I loved Orlando/Winter Park until
I came back for a day (twice.)
I miss a lot of things about it. Mostly how much
time Isaac and I had to bond. From 6 months until
he was a few months shy of 3, it was just us.

Some of the things I miss..

Saylor Sophie and her mom and dad.

The feel of the south.

Feeding the ducks with Isaac at Lake Lily.

Chick-fil-A restaurants.
None of this mall food court business.

Things I could do without in Utah.....

SNOW!!!!

Loud kids in movies.

SNOW!!!!!

THE COLD!!!

Listening to my newlywed clients
who can't afford rent or let alone the hair color I am giving them
but all the mean while they are wearing $200 jeans.
I shouldn't complain about listening to them because they tip well. :)

But that's the least of my worries.
I'm just focusing on making it through the winter without freezing.

Turkey day and Thank You's

2008-11-26T06:49:00.000-08:00

Isaac and I flew to FL on Monday so he could be

with his Daddy this week.

I'm back in UT and can't sleep in..booooo!!

His face. His attitude. His wit. His hugs. His wet kisses.

I'm Thankful for my little sweetheart.

I also love this video!

We made puppets of what he would look like on Halloween.
I take that back..Isaac was supposed to help but George and I did all the work :)

I am so glad George shaves!

I just thought this was a funny picture.

George and I at Ray's birthday dinner.

I'm almost done with school!

Isaac loves school.
I love looking at his handwriting.
Gearing up for the Holidays. Busy busy busy!

We'll always have Paris (okay... Park City)

2008-09-13T16:38:00.000-07:00

I love my bags. I do. But I AM SO SICK OF these bags!

I hope this trend is over soon.

*no offense to those who have it. If you love it..rock it!

My little "Sweet Pea"

Isaac with his homework book bag

Growing up way too fast

His new room and bed!

Isaac started school today. He is a "Sweet Pea" at Kids Village. It's the cutest school ever. It's a little child's dream world. Isaac's teacher is Miss Jessica. He didn't look back when I dropped him off. I am really excited because I know Isaac is going to have so much fun but above all, learn a lot. Shout out to kids village!! http://kidsvillage.com/

Also my mom hired an interior decorator and the whole house got painted. Isaac loves his new room!
Now if we can get mommy to stop letting him sleep in her bed :(

(could not get him to look at me without him showing me his new trick)

Through these eyes

2008-07-24T08:59:00.000-07:00

About 3 months ago I saw Isaac playing outside with my camera. Fast forward 20 minutes....camera completely covered in mud, won't open and won't turn on or off. Keep in mind this is the second camera he has broken. So yesterday I took the sim card out of my old camera and put it in another one. These are the pictures I found.

Happy Mpthers Day...2 days ago

2008-05-13T14:02:00.000-07:00

I am late as usual but I wanted to give a little shout out to my mom. Sunday morning I woke up to my family in my room to wish me a Happy Mothers Day. If anyone deserved a nice wake up call with gifts it would have to be her. Between having a full house of rug-rats, a demanding job, running for State House of Representatives and many other things..she is my hero!

Happy Mothers Day Mom! I love you so much.

Friday Night Lights!

Fan of the game!!!

My friend George scored tickets to the Jazz game on Friday.

I don't usually cheer for the Jazz but how could I pass up

seats in a suite, playoff game and food?

SO FUN!!!

Kangaroo Zoo Gone Wild!

2008-04-17T13:05:00.001-07:00

I took Isaac and a little boy from our ward named Christian to Kangaroo Zoo.

Isaac has been there plenty of times so he had a

hard time waiting for Christian to get used to it. I ran into a old

dancer friend Amber and her little boy Jackson

wanted to play with Isaac the whole time.

I forgot it was Spring Break so it was really crowded

but they had a good time.

I don't think I am going to the gym today because I got a work out from walking up all the slides with Christian.

Christian, Isaac and Jackson.

*Christian and Jackson are 4 but Isaac still looks so much older because he is soo tall!

"Aunt CC" and Saylor come to visit

This outfit of Isaac's reminded me of the movie The Royal Tenenbaums.
