Beauty Time Tuesday-empties

I haven’t been very good at posting empties lately but I do have photos. This is a bit of a photo dump of empties for the past several months.  I have a goal to use up what I have before buying more so hopefully I will continue to have more empties.

Thanksgiving 2019

My plans for Thanksgiving were totally up in the air until the last minute. I thought about going down to St. George. I thought about running the thankful 13. I thought about staying home and doing nothing. 

It snowed quite a bit so we had to brave some weather. ReNae and I got out for a few miles. We were happy we decided not to run the race this year. We had a good time and enjoyed the beauty of the snow. 



The Bodily’s invited me to celebrate the day with them. I am so thankful to have a family of friends that includes me and treats me like family. It was a lovely meal and a great day. 



I’m not big into Black Friday shopping. The crowds are crazy and the lines aren’t worth it. I decided to see how it was. It wasn’t crowded at all and it was kind of fun to walk around. I wasn’t look for anything specific so I wasn’t pressured to get there super early or wait in crazy lines. 


The snow was really beautiful that weekend. It is always hard to be away from family especially on holidays, but when I stop and think about all the blessings I have I am very thankful.

Toddler Construction Party

Celsey planned the cutest construction party for Rem’s 3rd birthday. She decided to have the party during their weekly playgroup which ended up being such a great idea. The theme was so cute and carried out throughout the whole party. The kids had fun, and the party was a hit.

BearLaked at the A Frame

Sarah found the cutest a frame house in Heber and invited us all to do a winter retreat. We left home where the weather was ok and got up there to a lot of snow. We swam at the crater, ate lots of yummy foods, played games, and generally had such a great time. 



Baby Eliot loved the crater 



Bonnie’s car got stuck in the snow so we pushed her out in our coats and swimsuits. Most everyone else was in boots but I was not. 



Yummy dinners

And delicious brunch

Halloween 2019-I’m a Barbie Girl


We take things pretty seriously when it comes to the Halloween costume contest. We don’t usually win, but we always think we should:). We decided on a Barbie theme this year. We did win the all staff competition so we were pretty happy about that. Mostly we had a lot of fun dressing up and doing it all together. 

Group of Barbies 

Beauty Queen Barbie 

Baker and Bearded Barbie 

Workout, Pilot, BDI(inside joke), Bride, Ken, Vintage Barbies 

Soccer, Sparkle and Shine, Rockstar, Cowgirl, Construction and Nurse Barbies 

I love my co-workers so much. Halloween is always one of our most favorite times every year. 

Cops and Robbers and the cutest money bag

Sandy made soup and brought pumpkin bread bowls for dinner. It was a very chill night with friends that are more like family.

Tangled theme birthday party

When Celsey and I met years ago at church, we bonded over our love of all things cute and quickly found we have so much in common. We have planned quite a few parties over the years. Typically we believe the bigger the better. Now that her kids are getting old enough for friend parties where the parents don’t stay or even come in the door. We still want a cute party, but the little 5 year olds don’t seem to appreciate all the things quite like we do. We celebrated Mavi’s 5th birthday this weekend and decided to scale things back a bit. The party was still so much fun and so cute. It’s proof that a little extra effort goes a long way. 


Rapunzel and Flynn Rider 





Mummy wrap game-twist “hair” around partner for 20 seconds. See who can untangle their partner the fastest. It was a huge hit and although a big mess, the clean up was so fast. 

We made the piñata from a box and wrapped with a roll of paper perfect for a piñata. The kids had fun hitting it with the pan and swarmed to the candy when it broke/we broke it. If you use a box, make sure not to tape it too tight. 



The treat table was a little more scaled back than our usual parties. The kids has plenty of treats and we had a more appropriate amount of leftovers than our norm. 

Mother Gothel bowling

Each child picked 3 ducks. Ducks with a Rapunzel sticker got a prize. There may have been a little cheating, but there were plenty of prizes to accommodate the cheating:)

We added a few decorations to carry the theme. We used a large roll of plastic tablecloth and bunched it together and wrapped with a little tulle to create a table runner braid. 
All the kids had fun. The party was really cute. Mavi was happy. We were exhausted at the end so I would say it was a success.
