Packsize

If you have ever asked me where I work I have probably given you an unsatisfactory answer assuming you didn't want to hear the long answer.  Packsize really is super cool!  We have been asked to help spread the word about Packsize, so check out our youtube.com channel and watch some of the short videos.

Happy Birthday CODY!!

I wanted to wish my sweet husband a Happy Birthday!  This post comes about a month late...better late than never.

I did not give Cody as wonderful of a birthday as he gave me a few months ago.  I had strep throat so I was not much of a partier.


I LOVE this excited face even though he knew just what he was getting.



We had cake and ice cream with these Perkins Boys, Grandpa, Dad, and Son.

Cody is SO awesome and I am so blessed to have him as my Husband!  
He has worked so hard on our new house.  He loves to have a project.
One day he painted this old lamp for me, I LOVE it.


Here is one more thing I love about Cody... The picture below is dinner we had the other night, we made out own Nacho's... guess whose is whose... 


That's right... Cody's piece of art is on the left and my (just as delicious) mess on the right.  His perfectionism really is just what I need.  We compliment each other very well, he helps me take a little more pride in what I do, and I help him not sweat the small stuff so much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CODY!  I LOVE YOU!!!

From a House to a HOME

On February 2nd (My Birthday), Cody and I made a offer on this beautiful house.  A few days later we received a counter offer we couldn't refuse.  Before the final papers we signed we had few problems with a water leak and it took a little longer than we had hoped to close, but we finally made this home ours on March 25th 2011.  As soon as possible after closing we had A LOT to do.

With the help of our WONDERFUL FAMILY we were able to lay carpet, tile and get all moved in within 5  DAYS.
 Cody started out by ripping out all the existing carpet, linoleum, and tile... (a much larger task than anticipated)
Master Bedroom


 Sami helped prepare for tile
 My Dad helped SO MUCH!  Cody said to me several times "Your dad saved my life!  I would never have been able to do it without him"

Me cutting holes for the vents (Much less important work)
Regina and Toby even helped out a little :)
 Shane and Larry- Expert Tile Cutters


 Thanks Treasa, for making our baseboards SPARKLE!



The long tiling process
 Next for the Carpet
Thank You Fawson's.  We LOVE IT!!!
Grout by Cody

Time to move in!
  We had a lot of help from the whole Williams fam, the Perkins boys and Larry

I Love this picture.  All the kids were so eager to help.  They kept asking me what they could take in next.






...lots of junk...
Starting to look like a home.  
My mom helped me do some unpacking





We love our new home in Stansbury Park!
Thanks again to everyone for so much help!  We really appreciate you!!!

Birthday Celebrations

Now everyone knows what an awesome husband I have.  Isn't he the sweetest!  I didn't know I had so many blog readers... I never get so many comments.

My sweet husband helped in giving me a fantastic birthday.

We stared off with a party for Sami and I at my parents house with a few Aunts and Uncles and Grandma and Grandpa.
This is my cute little cousin Zack

We gave Sami a Zeeb foot massager!

What a fun family party.  Thanks for a yummy dinner and generous gifts!


Morning of Febuary 2nd... too early!
Cody always spoils me.
Everything I wanted! Cody, You're the best!

I went to work that morning and was surprised with these...
 Beyond Glaze...One of my new FAVORITES!

When I got home from work the surprises kept coming.  This was the first thing I saw when I walked in the door! 

 I was so excited Cody finished the frame he started last year.  It is beautiful!

Later that night we went to Leatherby's for some birthday ice cream.
This next picture is for my sister Brooke.
One of the best I have had!

The party is not over yet!  Super Bowl Sunday we celebrated with the Perkins!
 We had a big birthday party for Kelsey, Devin, and I.

I have not had my name on a cake this cute for a long time.  Good work Amanda!

Kelsey got the same massager as Sami.  They are activated by putting weight on them.  Cute little Brynlee wasn't heavy enough to start them.  She stuck her little bum out hoping to maker herself heavier... Looks like Jennifer had to help a little.  We got a good laugh.

What a fun Birthday! Thanks Perkins Sisters for Cute PJ's and Jewelry, Amanda and Devin did great picking them out.
