What a Women Wants ????

Shopping baby.... My Sista and I went to the http://www.whatawomanwantsshow.com/ show at the South Towne Center today. We shopped our guts out, then it was off for some lunch at http://www.fiveguys.com/home.aspx it was the BEST burger and fries ever. Then we hit the South Towne Mall and of course shopped some more! On your way home we just had to have a hot fudge sundae at Dairy Queen. As we drove home things got a little exciting. We got to Layton and of course the good ol "orange barrel" nightmare. We saw a UHP and he hits his lights on so no panic he was in front of us. We drove a little farther and RED LIGHTS were flashing ok PANIC it was us he was pulling over.

Officer  "why did you follow my buddy so close"??

Sista - Who is your BUDDY?

Officer- UHP

Sista- I didn't think I was following him too close!

Officer- Give me your license, Is this YOUR car?

Sista- A YEAH

So as the sweat was pouring off us as Mr. Officer was checkin Sista's criminal record.

He came back and said where are you headed?

Sista- HOME

Officer- Where is Home?

Sista- Ogden

Officer- Ok I will let you go with a warning!!!

Sista- I was so scared to drive to SLC it was my first time to drive that far from home.

Officer- Giggles, well drive safe.

Whew we got off with a warning yeah for us.

Shopping our guts out ....CHa CHING

Sista time .... AWESOME

Pulled over by UHP and no ticket ..... PRICELESS

Thanks for the good times SISTA

2 WILD ????

2 Wild Diesel Utah State Fair 2010

Our Friends from Wild Diesel won at the Utah State Fair. This has been a 2yr process for Ken and Crew. Dubb went with Ken to Indiana for a HUGE Truck Pull last year. They looked at the trucks and got tons of ideas on how "2 Wild Diesel" would take form. All thru the winter and spring this has been a huge project and TOP SECRET ya know?? They built the truck from the ground up. Dubb was so happy to weld and help design the frame for Ken. Needless to say it was so worth it last night when Ken WON !!!

2 Wild Diesel

I couldn't be prouder of the hard work these guys put into the truck it's amazing. I would go to the shop and see the process and think WHOA this is pretty cool. I know most women would think big deal but it was so cool to see the piles of metal turn into this AWESOME beast. Ken's Daughter came up with the design of the Tiger made out of bolts, wrenches, it was perfect.

Here is his winning Pull

When Ken won I turned to his wife and said "All those long nights of the guys working so hard was worth it"

I don't think you can wipe the smile off of his face it was priceless.

So yes you can call me a "REDNECK" anytime.

My 1st Crafty Tutorial

I just love to craft if you haven't noticed on my blog. I love to look at blogs that have tutorials and see how they make the cute craft stuff they make. I stole  I mean borrowed this idea from http://eighteen25.blogspot.com/ and just added my own flair.

Supplies you will need:

Frames I used wood $1.00 at Michael's

letters

Paint - paint brush

Scrap book paper

Modge podge

glitter

Paper plate

Hot Glue Gun

I first painted my frames black and my letter's purple. After the black paint was dried I added the green poka dots.

I then took the back piece of the frame that holds your picture in the frame and covered it in scrapbook paper.

I sprinkled my glitter on the plate

I have always have a hard time getting the glitter to stick to any things I did, so I took Mod Poge and painted the letters and then I layed the letter in the glitter.

TADAAAA. I love my glitter letters and all the glitter stuck on so good!

When the paint was all dry on the frames I took my palm sander and roughed them up. I love the worn out look.

Then it was time to assemble the frames together.

I hot glued the letters on the paper and then put them in the frames.

Dontcha just love them?

I double dog dare ya to make a set!

Day 4

It's our 24th Wedding Anniversary wow time flys when your married to a hunkofburninglove like Dubb!
We just relaxed and I was crafty and made cards while Dubb playing Wii and watched football it was great to just hang out together.

After dinner we went for a drive to Chesterfield Idaho it's a ghost town.http://chesterfieldfoundation.org/ Here are a few pictures of Chesterfield Township it's amazing to me that the Mormon Pionners settled this Township in 1881.It's listed on the National Register of Historic places.It's located on the Oregon Trail.Those Mormon Pioneers made such a cool town when there wasn't much there. The history was so cool, if only we could go back in time and really experience that way of life.

Day 2 and Day 3 Vacation

Day 2- The weather was still cold and dark skys so we had a chill day and watched dvd's. We got a call from Dad and Carol they decided to come and camp with us. We hung out and waited for them to get here. Then we went down to Lava Hot Pools http://www.lavahotsprings.com/ it was still chilly so the hot water felt so good, then it was back to camp for Strawberry shortcake I just love camping and all the yummy food we eat.

Day 3- HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME  it's my birthday YIPPPPEeeeeee I love Birthdays but only cuz I get spoiled rotten. Dubb woke me up with my present in bed

 
My own TOOL BAG that's right MINE all MINE and if he touches my TOOLS I will have to hurt him! Dad and Carol got me the cake and card with $$$ in it. I feel a shopping day comming on!
We headed up to the fair and walked thru all the stuff. I have to say I was having a tough time with all the "Fair Food" there was fried Oreo's, catfish, elephant ears, but I just had to try the "fried Snickers"

It was pretty dang YUMMY and worth all the calories. I would have to say thumbs up on the fried snickers!

Day one of Vacation

We got to Lava Hot Springs and it was kinda cold. The next morning we woke up and it was pouring rain, the skys were black. We decided to head to the

We had top park a mile away and walk in the pouring rain. As we got to the ticket window and I was going to pay this guy grabbed Dubb and said NO ANIMALS allowed.We were rejected at the fair. I tried to explain that we had traveled all the way from UTAH but no go. So we left and went to Jackson Hole one of my favorite places to go.

Swiss Days 2010

I have heard how awesome "Swiss Days" in Midway Utah is so I had to find out for myself.

I had a ultimate tour guide my sista and the best shopping companion Kim. We headed to Midway to shop till we dropped!

As we got closer to Midway the traffic started to keep up, I was thinking Wow this must be a big deal. We got to the shuttle lot, Yes the shuttle lot they bus you to the little town. When we got to town square this is what we saw

I loved all the cute "swiss" looking buildings.

As we started down thru the crowds you could hear the yodeling music you just want to do a little jig!

This was only a small crowd we were packed like sardines. All for the love of shopping!

I saw a few people that I knew. I always think that's weird you go to somewhere you have never been before and a familiar face.

I could have spent so much money, but "checkbooknatz" aka Dubb put a kibosh on that. I got a cute necklace as a reminder of Swiss days.

The Three Shopping Diva's

I need to work on the taking pictures of our selves. Sorry Kim at least I got half of your mug!

ahhhhhhhhhh "Swiss Days" I think I will definitely go back.
