Ode to the 80's and 90's

Me in 1988 (10 yrs old)

Last night after delivering a cake, Bobi and I went to the mall and checked out some clothes (since we didn't have any kids with us). We were laughing at some crazy styles (Granted we were checking the clearance racks with all the clothing rejects hoping for a treasure). The 80's are back! It is nuts! Tapered pants with zippers on the ends, vests, and belts! On the ride home we were reminiscing about the 80's and 90's trends we wore. Scrunchy socks in neon colors (where you wear 2 colors and alternate the order on each foot), pegging our pants, giant t-shirts with knots or clips on the sides, frizzy side ponytails, hair crimpers, big bangs, and stonewashed denim! I'm sure I could go on and on.

Anyway, my dad was a photographer, and I have these pictures in an old journal and I just HAD to post these. My scanner isn't working, so I took pictures of them and they don't look the best, but you'll get the idea.

Ya gotta love the bangs! I've never been real stylish, but this is probably the best I did at keeping up with the trends Ü.

What a Guy!

Last night I got the stomach bug that has been going around. I was really nervous that the kids would get it, so I asked Justin to take care of Mason, Trace, and MacKelle while I was sick. He was such a sweetheart! He got all three kids off to church (which I'm sure was a bit of an adventure in itself), fed everyone, changed bunches of diapers, took Mason for a walk when he was inconsolable, and last night he got up with Mason (which ended up being for about 2 hours, just to have Mason wake up at 5:30 am). I am feeling much better this evening, thanks to all the rest I got today. I have a great guy! Love Ya Justin!

What a Weekend!

This was a crazy weekend for our whole family, first of all, Justin's birthday was the 6th. We were going to Utah on the 5th and wouldn't be around for his birthday, so I made this cake on Friday. (I made a couple other cakes this week you can check out on my cake blog). Justin had a home game on Friday and after the games are over, the coaches go and eat dinner in the coach's room. So I surprised Justin with this cake for his birthday a little early. The kids wanted to be a part of it, so we all went and sang to him after the game (which was quite the feat, because the games didn't go so well, so none of the coaches were in a real singing mood Ü). The blanket above is his present (which he didn't get until his actual b-day). With the help of a great friend (Thanks Bobi!!!) I made him a T-shirt rag quilt. We cut out all of his old shirts and made them into a quilt. The kids each have a square that they decorated also. I think that it turned out SO Cute! He really loved it and was totally surprised (which doesn't happen much anymore). So after Justin's coach's b-day party, I went home and got the kids in bed, and finally got to bed myself around 11:30. Then the next morning we woke up EARLY at 4:00 am and left for Utah. My nephew, Timmy was getting baptized at 9:30, so we had to leave in time to make it there for that. To top that off, we found out earlier that week that my dad, who had previously left the church was going to be re-baptized that same day! Justin baptized him and Del (my bro-in-law) confirmed him. It was an AWESOME day!! Here is my family after it was all over. I forgot my camera in the car and missed a bunch of photo ops. (someone is supposed to email some of the pictures to me soon).

We left the next day to Logan to visit our good friends, the Hanni family. Janna was so sweet and made us some yummy food, and it was on the 6th (Justin's b-day) so she made him this fabulous butterfinger cake (SOOOO GOOD!). We didn't stay long because during all the fun we had been having, our van started having issues, so we headed home to get it looked at. But before we left Mason and Cooper crawled around together (Mason started to crawl the day before at our hotel room!)
