Camille - Fast and the Freaking Cute

Jamie was up with her kids to celebrate Spencer and Jaxon's birthdays. She took them to the circus, and then met the rest of the family at Layton park for some ice cream and a pinata. We then all headed over to Chuck E Cheese to play some arcade games and have some fun. There was one game there that I fell in love with. Basically, it's just a screen and when you put your money in, a maze appears on the screen. You have to follow the maze with your finger as fast as possible before the time runs out. And as you get closer to the end, the time goes faster. You get a few tickets if you get close, and a jackpot if you make it. I won the jackpot once, and I think Heidi did too. But we all thought it was so fun!

Tacy 26th Birthday

Sunday, May 2, 2010

Josh and I celebrated my 29th birthday over a couple of das, because that weekend was SO busy. On saturday he took me to lunch at Rodizio Grill. His friend from work, Adriene, and his wife Caitlyn came with us. We had a really great time and got super full ! The best thing we ate was bacon wrapped turkey. I also enjoyed the roasted pineapple, roasted tomatoes with parmesean cheese, capresse salad, and sweet and spicy chicken. That is definately a place we want to go back to someday. We also went tothe Ogden temple with Josh'd parents. I'm glad we went because they are going to be doing a major reconstruction on the temple soon and it was nice to go there before. On Monday we made home made pizza, and that was divine! Birthdays are always so fun! Oh, and you get one blurry pic thats cute, and one clear pic that we are making goofy faces.

Shaylee 4th Birthday

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

Little miss Shaylee Ash Jackson celebrated her 4th birthday last week, and boy has she grown! I haven't known her for her whole life, but i have known her for the last year and a half and she has grown dramatically sine then! She is getting so big and learning so much! We love her so much and were so glad we were able to celebrate her birthday this past weekend. We had a pink and white princess party for her and a bunch of her cousins were able to come play. We played musical pillows (like musical chairs, only with pillows), with play dough, pin the tiara on the princess (think donkey), and she was able to receive some very generous gifts from her loved ones. We had a bit of a fiasco with the cake, but it was a really really great day. Shaylee had a lot of fun and wanted to tell everyone thank you so much for coming!
Story about the cake: so Josh and I have this little dunky 3/4 stove in our apartment and the oven works like crap. Pizza crust is always doughy and such. Well, we tried baking the cakes the night before and they were golden brown on top and liquid on bottom. DANG! So we bought new cake mix and took it to Josh's parent's house to make before the party started. They turned out nice and fluffly.... TOO fluffy. They crumbled when you touched them... and I forgot to grease the pans so getting them out of the pans was terrible. We finally salvaged what we could and got the two cakes on top of each other. I wish I would have taken a picture before I frosted it. There were cracks and crumble places all over. We got the pink frosting on, but we couldn't hide the cracks. Josh had the great idea to make them a river with blue frosting. YES! so we made a river and a waterfall (over the crumbling side) and a pathway for the carriage and put the Cinderella toys we had bought on top. and Vioala!!!! you get the cake you see in the pics above. Really was a hilarious thing to go through. thanks Tiff for all of your unfailing support, even when Josh wanted to run and get a store bought cake. :)

Just a Little Update

Wednesday, August 19, 2009

I have just a little update for all of you. First of all, it was my Dad's birthday this past weekend, and I just wanted to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY! Love you!
Secondly, my good friend and coworker Katie got married yesterday to her long-time BFF and sweetheart, Blake. We are so happy for them and so excited they were able to take this next step in thier lives.
And finally, while Joshy napped the Saturday afternoon away this weekend, I played around a bit in our photo program. I created a couple of pages, and then also modified one of our wedding pictures. Here is what I got: (and again, if you are a designer seeing this, and I'm using one of your QP's, thank you! Please comment so that I can credit you properly!)

Hello all :) Well, we have had a crazy few days. Let me update you :) Saturday was my birthday, and we got some boxes and bins out of my house and down to the storage unit. Then we went to my parents house and my dad made his famous hashbrowns and eggs. YUMMY! I got to show my Bridal pics to my mom, dad and sister and they were excited. Later, we went to Josh's house and hung out. Everyone there got to see the pictures and it was fun! Josh and I went out for ice cream and fries, and stopped by Bed, Bath and beyond to choose new towels cause the ones we wanted were discontinued. All well. Later on we just watch a movie at home and ate Pita Pit (so good, but next time only eat half!) Jamie and Tiffany came in with a tub of ice cream and candles and sang to me HAHA.they were so sweet and even brought me a HUGE bag of Sour Patch Kids YES!!!! lol. It was a pretty dang good birthday.
However, yesterday was not so good. UGH Our flower shop called and said they can't get our flowers (WHAT?!?!?!?!?!). They can get the white and green flowers fine, but the pink flowers (Gerbs) they can't get as many as we want. We went back and forth about it, changed up our arrangements and amounts, and resubmitted everything. I'm scared to death we won't get them on time now (less than 2 weeks). I'm praying hard about it. But the good news is... if we do have an issue, we know Smith's carries something that will work - thats where we got my Bridal shoot bouquet. HAHA.
I submitted our order for the enlarged pictures we need for the reception. I also submitted our final guest book and about 50 4x6 sized pictures for the frames and albums at the reception. We are so close!!
Oh, if any one knows where we can find paper lanterns, please let me know!
Oh, and we have 13 Days to Go!
