Saturday

Note: This post is a little outdated. I wrote it a week ago but wanted to wait until I got the pics from the faithful picture-taker Natalie. I got them today so here is the post from last week...

This past Saturday was a riot! Very busy and very fun. The day started out just as everyday should start out...with yoga! My sis-in-law Natalie came from Salt Lake and we went together...definitely the preferred method. I stretched and worked some muscles that have been lazy for too long and now I'm feeling the burn! What a good feeling.
After an hour and a half power work out we ate some yummy german pancakes, gathered our husbands and Caleb, and headed out to 7 Peaks (luckly the weather decided to cooperate!). We spent 4 hours gathering courage, riding slides, screaming, swimming, and being proud of ourselves for actually riding the giant blue and orange slides.

This was Caleb's first time going to a water park and he loved it! {obviously}

The water was heated which was nice and he loved just walking in the shallow part and splashing around! It was really fun to watch and play with him.

The bird man was a hit with us too.
After we were all so worn out from 7 Peaks we went and got lunch at where else but Cafe Rio! Then we showered, got ready, and went to Mom and Dad Willmore's to watch the BYU/OK game. Sadly they didn't even get to watch it because on their way back from Idaho they were rear-ended on the freeway and got back after the game was done. Luckly no one was hurt.
What a day! And what better way to end it than BYU winning the #3rd team??! GO COUGS!

Predicaments

{Despite what I have said in the past} I officially HATE shopping!!!

~rewind a few hours~

I decided, with the encouragement of my husband, that it was high time I updated my wardrobe. I just love fall and the cozy chicness of fall fashion. The last two falls/winters I was pregnant, nursing, and overall uncomfortable with my body...aka not out shopping for new clothes. Now that things have settled down more into a routine and I've had a while to work off some of that baby weight I decided the time had come to update and add some modern flair to my style! So I set out with confidence, credit card, and shopping buddy/mentor (my very cute and fashionable sis-in-law Natalie!) to find all the perfect pieces to make me feel and look fabulous!! However, those pieces eluded me. I searched just about every rack and found a strollerfull of lovely tops but none of them fit me! They all just looked awkward on me! I left the first store with just one pair of rockin brown boots that I absolutely love but no tops. I felt my confidence droop a little but I still had hope for the next store, Forever 21. Love that store!! And when has it not delivered?? I was sure to find something there.
Natalie and I divided (took seperate racks and threw everything cute into the stroller) and conquered. That is to say, after trying on a dozen tops I finally found ONE, just one shirt that fit me and looked so cute. And the best part about it? It was on sale for 3.99! So I gave up on shirt shopping and instead stocked up on some belts and jewelry.

I love that one shirt I got but...3 hours?? How depressing. Maybe I should put my money towards a gym pass and get serious about that and then go shopping. But I think I'm done with the cruel reality of new shirts, sizes and dressing room mirrors for awhile! Maybe if I cinch up the waist on some of my bigger shirts with belts that will work for awhile.
So, goodbye shopping! Hello gym!

Note: I know I've fallen terribly behind on blogging while touring Japan, moving into my new apartment, and getting my house in order but I have several posts I've been excited about coming up!...as soon as I can find some of that precious, never there when you need it time.
