Girls Night
Thursday Evening I had Girls Night Swap Party at my house. I asked everyone to bring something "Fabulous" to swap and it must be in "like new" condition. I cleared out my living room, and set up 3 long tables. We had Broccoli Cheese soup, a Full Salad Bar, and Red Velvet Cupcakes for dessert. I thought everything looked wonderful, →
Girls Night Out – Serendipity
A few Weeks ago I went on our traditional Girls Night Out with my Fantastic Friends, and this time it was a night out on the Las Vegas Strip to Serendipities. I forgot to post pictures but I guess it's always better late than never. Anyway, it's a fun little joint that plays loud music, serves delicious food, with a →
Picnic At the Park
So On Monday I had planned a Picnic at the park with a few of my Lady Friends and their children. Well, we decided to also incorporate an Easter Egg Hunt since Easter is right around the corner. It turned out to be the best activity!! Everyone pitched in with the food, and there were no tears or fights amongst →
Catching up….
This is a picture of my Cute little Grandma. It is a photo from a few years back, but every time I see it, i can't help but crack up. She was miserable in that outfit. She was forced into it for a float in a parade, and she would be absolutely mortified if she knew I posted it for →
Valentines Party
My Friend Eleisha threw the best Valentine's Day party for all the kids. She obviously put so much work and time into everything. The food was incredible.... delicious cinnamon rolls, some kind of rolled up yummy egg concoction... it was obvious she had been cooking for a VERY long time. :) All of the children had so much fun, and →
Welcome 2010!!
The Nimmer's hosted our Annual New Year's Party. The food was great as usual, and it was the first party we've been to since Ava was born. Not as relaxing, and I think it will take a little getting used to.... but the Nimmer's did a fantastic job hosting the party. We followed through with the annual tradition of the →
Thoughts…
This afternoon was the close to a very emotionally strange week for me. Last Sunday I found out that one of my closest friends, youngest brother, passed away in a tragic car accident. It was unexpected, and completely knocked the entire family off of their feet. I could see and feel the devastation in my friend, and my heart ached →
Girls Night Out
This week for Girl's Night Out, we went to see the musical "West Side Story", and we got there just as the weather was cooling off, and it was really nice. People were waiting for the show to start, and we all busted out our picnic dinners and visited. However, I soon realized that we were sitting behind this one →
Inspirada Ward Carnival
I am on the Ward activities committee, and Saturday was our very first party. There's only 4 of us on the committee, so this was quite the challange, but Mary Jane is the BEST party C.E.O. EVER, and Travis and Jeana are SAINTS for doing as much as they did to pull off the feat of the Inspirada Ward Carnival!!! We only had →
Gavin Rossdale
This weekend was busy as usual, but it was alot of fun. My friend Jennifer got us free tickets to the Gavin Rossdale concert at the Hard Rock, and we were pretty pumped to see him. I have liked him FOREVER, and was disappointed I never got to see him perform when his was in BUSH. It was the first time →
“Oh My Heck”, We Pulled it OFF!!!
My friend, that I happen to think is totally awesome turned 30 on Saturday. Since we know this is a big milestone for anyone, we especially knew it was big considering how much we know Kari LOVES to partake in a good party. Soo.....we thought we'd throw her a surprise party to help her celebrate!! This was her reactions... (Make sure →

Last night we officially ushered in the New Year at the Nimmer's home for a New Year's Bash. There was, of course, tons of food, and lots of laughs. We also did the traditional "White Elephant" gift exchange. Chris and I arrived with 2 gifts. The first was a ceramic football, with a pristine and White......JOCK STRAP!! Don't ask me →
Old Friends…New Friends
Last Night we reunited with Chris's childhood friend Adam, and his wife Katie. We finally got to meet Katie, and it's been about 7 years since I've seen Adam. We were able to sit down for a few hours and visit with the both of them and his Mom, Karen. They are a really great family, and I am so glad they were Chris's neighbors growing up. He →
Weenie Roast at the Tyler’s
Tonight we had a get together at our house. I got the idea from my sister and I'm so glad I decided to give it a try. It was probably one of the funnest things we've done at our house yet. We had a big fire going all night in the fire pit, and everyone roasted their own hot dogs, →
And The Winner Is……
So Last night was Kari's Nash's annual Halloween party. I definitely gotta give her props on the planning. This girl went ALL out this time, here are a few pics of those who showed up. Chris and I dressed up from the 80's. I went all out this year, and left no detail untouched. I crimped my hair, I even wore →

Of course it was a weekend filled with yummy food, and lots of conversation. I think every single night we were up until →
You can call me “Dorcus”
Girls Night Out Last night was our monthly Girls Night Out. We went to the movies to watch "Sister Hood of The Traveling Pants, Part 2". I think it was a busy week for everyone, and there were only 5 of us that ended up going. Initially, I went purely for the excuse to hang out with the girls, →
Here we go again…
This week I have purchased the plane tickets for my next trip to Guatemala. The extra fun part is, one of my best friends Kari Nash is going with me!! It will be fun to travel with a friend this time. She was the one who originally helped me collect donations for the orphanage drive a few months ago. →
Barbeque
Tonight we had a barbeque at the park with a group of our friends. I'm so glad we went because Chris and I had a chance to hang out with people we rarely get to see outside of church. I really like getting to know people outside of the weekly church routine. I think people relax a little more →
“I am NOT Hardcore”

We all get along really well, and it's always a good time. Friday night we made Carne Asada.....mmmm....it's was awesome! Stayed up late visiting and catching up. I'm →

The Dark Knight
Last night Chris and I went out with our friends Jamie and Joe to dinner and a movie. We went to some fish place, I can't remember the name....but it was really good!
