Updated! Harpers Yo Gabba Gabba party..

Picture overload! 

I get so wrapped up in her parties that I never take as many pictures as I want too.. here are all the ones I got. Harper's party was a success and everything turned out really well! 

 Her chair is on top of her mini dance stage my dad help me build. We had the ipod set up next to it so she could dance to all her yo gabba gabba songs! 

My cute fam! My mom, brothers, and sister. 

Everything this year I made.. besides the cake.  Above you can see my tissue pom-poms.

Also not pictured is chocolate covered pretzel sticks, and my razzleberry lemonade! (they drink it on yo gabba gabba haha)

 Iron on toodee shirt.. free printables on nickjr.com

 I drank 20 of these within a few weeks.. I have yet to have another. They look just like old milk bottles.. but looked really cute with lemonade and paper straws.. I saved them and still drink out of them! 

 Last minute creation.. I bought the wrong kind of chocolate so I couldnt get them covered.. so I dipped the ends in a tiny bit of water and covered them with sprinkles! 

 Koolaid popcorn! Soo yummy and made great goodie bags for the guests.. i made lemon lime and strawberry. Found the idea on pinterest of course. 

Rainbow cupcakes.. this was so fun! They turned out really cute. Idea from pinterest as well. 

Mothers day..

As usual, Michael made me feel special, and waking up to my goofy mini-me is always the best gift I could get, especially because that is what Mother's day is all about. We started the day off right with going out to cracker barrel for breakfast with my mom, Grandma, and my siblings. Then my mom took me and my Grandma out to pick out flowers for our yards. :) We exchanged cards and gifts and then I came home to flowers and cards from my cute lil family. Michael picked out a card from Harper and wrote what he thought she would say.. so cute! He got me a card, roses, and some veggies to plant in my garden! 

Amazing day <3

Bleh...

As I sit here stuffing my face with panda express.. I find this to be the perfect time to set some serious goals.. all which im sure have been set before. If you Religiously stalk read my blog then you know that I have posted and talked about losing weight and getting in shape.. now in my defense the first time i Talked about it, I became pregnant shortly after.. and what the heck, I might as well live it up and have an excuse to get really fat and cry over twinkies right? Well It actually was the other way around, I got very sick and lost almost 20 lbs.. still cried.. but not over twinkies.

Goal #1

Stop caring about what other people think and get my booty to the gym!! Plus I have awesome friends, that if i beg enough i can get to come with me right??

I always have a set number of lb's I want to lose or a set weight im looking to reach, but If i gain muscle and lose inches this number is really not going to be the same. I always just want to see the big picture right away, and i think thats what gets me discouraged. Plus I need to get healthier all around, so if I lose weight in the process great!

Goal #2

Set a realistic weight goal, and time frame.. take it step by step and not trying to see the whole picture ahead of time. Focus on my health and losing weight as a bonus!

Goal #3

Eat healthier. Make healthier meals at home, this not only benefits me but it benefits my family. Cook more in general. Find healthier snack alternatives and drink more water!!

I need to use my resources as well, I have a 2 year old that loves to explore and a jogging stroller so If i in no way shape or form can make it to the gym my booty better be outside with the little one, walking, jogging, or chasing her around at the park. I no longer can get by with saying I just had a kid.. that only works for like the first 6 months.. if that. I need some motivation, I need to do something asap! So im going to use my blog as a diary, and a way to keep up with what im doing and my progress.

In the meantime.. im going to keep reading THIS blog for motivation. Love all her posts.

Easter.

Harper's first Easter egg hunt! She had so much fun running and picking up eggs to put in her basket.. it was funny to watch her spill some, and then turn around and find them again with excitement!

Harper got to have a sleepover and Grandmas house, while we were in Wendover.. Grandma woke her up with a HUGE stuffed bunny and a new Easter dress! We then came home to wake her up from her nap with her Easter basket and had Lunch with the fam, then everyone got to enjoy the Easter egg hunt.. 250 eggs to hunt for! Great Easter weekend with Family & Friends.

:)

2!

♥ Happy Birthday!

Harper Monroe is now 2! Where does the time go? I cannot believe I officially have a 2 yr old. Insane!

This year for Harper's bday we had a party the weekend after her "official" birthday, so on her actual birthday We woke up early and went to Grandmas house for breakfa

st, then we went to see the Lorax.. Harper did a lot better that I thought she would, she of course tested her boundaries and then didnt want to sit in her seat for longer than 10 seconds at a time! It was still cute to see her intensely watch, and sit in her booster seat with her own popcorn.

Im having a love/hate emotion with the "toddler" stage.. Harper is soo independent, and is such a little drama queen! haha she definitely keeps us on our toes! She is talking so much, and learning so many things... I have to stop and realize how much she actually picks up from us on a daily basis.. she really is a sponge, soaking up everything around her.. its amazing and so fun watching her grow into a tiny person!

Mamas Little helper, Probably her favorite thing we did on her bday. haha

:)

Sunday drive..

Nebo Loop ♥

We obviously didn't expect the weather to be like it was, and parts of the canyon were closed. But I had made us lunch before we left, so we got to park and eat and look at the pretty scenery. Harper enjoyed the drive so much she slept the whole time! We of course had to stop at the Daley Freeze to get something sweet for the ride home.. love that place. We had lunch there when Harper was just 5 days old.

:)

Skivvies.

Love this girls cheesy grin!

Potty training means we get to just wear our cool Yo Gabba Gabba undies all day!

I love being able to spend the whole weekend with her at home watching our shows, and hanging out.
