My Fabulous Husband

I so often forget to even mention my fabulous husband. Kids are just so easy to put all the focus into. But I just wanted to brag about my hubbi for a second. Here are a few things that make him truly fabulous:

1 So supportive...if i wanted to learn how to scuba dive or fly fish or anything else in the world he would totally tell me to go for it and support me 100%

2 Our girls absolutely adore him. They are total Daddy's girls and Daddy is truly their best friend.

3. Always complimentative...tells me i look great daily as well as making sure he tells our girls how pretty and special they are every day. He is also good at telling strangers that he likes their shoes or dress or whatever...he is very good with girl shoes and lets them know when he likes them...he often points out to me what shoes someone is wearing!

4. Works so hard...and he is loyal and dependable. BaseCamp Franchising is so lucky to have him work for them because of these traits...luckily we feel the same way about him being employed by them.

5. Will go out at midnight to get me something I am really itching for...especially when I am prego but he is good about doing that all the time no matter what...i just try hard not to abuse it!

These are just a few of the things that I love about him. I am SO lucky to have him in my life and I know our girls are the luckiest in the world to have such an amazing Daddy who will help them have such awesome self esteem that all girls need.

Uptown Cheapskate

http://www.uptowncheapskate.com/

Uptown Cheapskate is more than a fashion exchange concept. It is an attitude, a personality, and an art form. Uptown Cheapskate empowers individuals to express themselves using brand name fashions and modern style without the typical price tag. The concept is simple really: we buy and sell your favorite brands at prices that everyone can get excited about. We’re not trying to change the world; just offer an exciting new way to shop it. (off their website)

The company Thom works for just opened a new and completely awesome store! It's called Uptown Cheapskate and it is high end consignment clothes for teens / young adults. Thoms boss just gave him and I an awesome store credit there as a bit of a bonus and we went there on a date saturday. It was truly fabulous! I got a pair of jeans that fit perfectly (which is hard to do cuz i need longer than average ones), a pair of knee lenght jean shorts, a dress...5 shirts, 2 pairs of shoes, a bracelet and a purse. It was totally amazing and the only way you can tell its 'used' clothing is that there is no 2 things a like there. But other than that it is purely amazing high quality stuff for a small price! I LOVE this place and highly recommend it to you all! It is just around the corner from the Gateway on 200 south and i promise you will not be disappointed! Oh and if you don't live in Utah check their website for other locations around the US!!!

The End and the Beginning!

So my difficult experience of having broken wrists is over...for the most part anyway! The doc gave me the green light to pick up my precious chubby baby Paisley! Oh what a relief! I missed her SOOO much and I dare say the feeling was mutual! The doc said to not lift anything heavier but well...I'm struggling to obey...although after lifting my keyboard and bench today my wrists are pretty sore so I will work on obeying more. Can I just say again...what a relief! It seemed like such a long dark tunnel at times. It was hard to think that someday I would be able to do as much as I am capable of doing today but thankfully my wrists are doing great and the girls and I are on our own for the first time in 6 weeks. Thank you again to all who have helped us SO much! My mom came out for a week and a half. My mother-in-law came out for 3 1/2 weeks and my fabulous sister-in-law Lindsay came with her girls for a week. My other sister-in-law Kerrilyn babysat me and the girls whenever she was needed at the drop of a hat which was SO appreciated as well! Although feeling frustrated that we had to be babysat it was absolutely fabulous to have so much company for so long! We were sad to see each of them go and miss them all a ton. Here are just a few pics from our fun with our most recent company:
