This is what I was up to on my week off. It was a magical time that could only have been better if Greg could have come up with us.
Babies:
I got to go visit my awesome friend Darby after she had her 3rd little girl. Darb is great. She knew me at the peak of my awkwardness and still talks to me! Now that's a good friend. Seriously. I'm sure that she could find some major black mail pictures, and she hasn't even used them against me yet! Her little Sophia was only 4 days old. Isn't she just a doll?!
Our good friends, the Gibsons, have recently betrayed Southern Utah and moved to Salt Lake. So Emmy and I decided to pay them a little visit. We seriously miss them like CRAZY so it's nice any time we get to see them. I mean, look at little JP. How could you not miss that smile?! Megan and I took the kids to Pei Wei and it was YUMMY. Then we were off to some quality time at the local Old Navy. It was GREAT to see them! 
Speaking of babies...I got to go to an awesome baby shower for my SIL Emily. It was so super cute. It was all pink and orange and polka dotty! Just cute. Emily has 2 boys and is pregnant with a GIRL. So fun. Bows:
I was feeling the craftiness bug. Now those of you who know me well know that I'm not very crafty, so this bug doesn't bite too often. I found some really cute designs and tutorials for felt bows online and decided to give it a shot. I like the felt because it's different from all of the flowers that are out there now, and they have a vintage feel to them for some reason. Here are a few prototypes from last week. My model was not in the mood for a photo shoot if you can't tell. For those of you who have girls, don't be surprised if some of these show up at your doorstep. I have plans for mass production!Basketball:
Growing up I got to go to a lot of Jazz games with my dad. It turned into our favorite Daddy daughter date. I was SO excited to be able to go to a game again with Dad! (The seats are to DIE for. Seriously, 4 rows behind the Jazz bench!) It was a really fun game and great company. We noticed a special VIP on our same row just an isle over...It was President Monson! How cool is that?! The Kyle Korver picture is for all you ladies out there and especially Megan. The bad Deron Williams picture is for Josh and Greg. Hehe. It feels kind of wrong the the Jazz player and my Dad and I are in this collage with President Monson, but that's just how it turned out. Bread:
I made bread. This is a big deal because it's the first time...EVER. I mean I baked a lot of bread in my Sandwich Artist days, but I never did something like this. I don't cook a lot, but I'm getting a lot better and actually starting to like it sometimes. Not only did this bread look pretty, but it was tasty to boot! (And easy to make, but pretend I didn't tell you that!)
Be impressed. Be very impressed. AND that was pretty much my week off. It was SO relaxing and SO recharging. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting Emmy and me crash at your place for a while. We were glad to get home and back into our schedule, but it was such a nice break. Of course Emmy was a little sick while we were gone and I decided not to get it until the day I had to go back to work. I guess that's life, right? Well, it's right back in to the swing of things for now.

Oh my gosh!! I LOVE those bows. How did you make them, what site did you go to. I might just have to copy you. I am not much of the crafter either so if you can do it....maybe I just can too?? Way to go!!
The bread looks amazing too. Miss you!
I love little bits of everything posts like this! Way to go on the bread (so delicious!) and the time off!!
We LOVED seeing you! I realized after you left that I didn't show you our basement... not that you missed much, but still! So I guess you have something to look forward to next time you're in town! Thanks for coming!
WOW, LOOOOVE those barrettes! They are adorable Jess. EXCELLENT work. It sounds like it really was a fun vacation for you--especially the Jazz game! I got Dave tickets for Christmas but his seats were literally as high as you can possibly go. Your seats sound much better. :)
Sounds like you had a fun week! I love the bows- Maggie is really working on some hair so feel free to send some our way hehe:) That is so funny to see the prophet at a Jazz game of all places. That's awesome. I unfortunately love to make homemade bread...a lot. Be careful- it's addicting. Bring on the carbs!
The bows did turn out DARLING! And, somehow you omitted to tell me that the Prophet was there! I'm suprised that he wasn't mauled! Anway - that's a pretty priceless collage if you ask me!
Is it just me or does it look like Pres. Monson is there as a fan and not just taking a break? The picture from the side seems as if he just wants the to game to start so he can get to cheering. Nice to see him get out of the box seats once in awhile.
The bread was very good.
Super impressed with the bows and the bread. I want to know how you did both.
Sounds like you had some fun! I love those bows you made they are so cute. Speaking of crafts we need to do another craft night and we need to get together for dinner sometime. I love bread and I want to eat some! It looks good :)
I already made my Dad aware that I would be needing a date night with him to a Jazz game while I was visiting!! Gosh I miss the perks our Daddy-os provide! That makes me sound greedy.
We have got to get together when we are out. We are going to be at the St. Geo house from March 14-21st! We have to have a partay...oh yeah!
The bows are darling by the way, you and Sarah are such super-moms...I need lessons!
It was so good to see you too! I'm glad you had a great week. Sorry I never called you back, I too was at the hospital with Sophie. She's fine, but I felt bad that we never got together again. The bows turned out so, so, so cute! And the bread looks yummy. :) Look at you, getting all domestic on me! We have to do it again! Love ya!
