Looking forward to the weekend.

It's Friday.

Each week it seems like I am counting down the days until it's Friday.

Why do I love Friday so much? 

Because it means that I get to spend the next TWO days with Kevin & Hunter doing whatever we want.

Kevin has been working so hard these last few months, including late hours at the office, and it is so nice when he finally gets home. 

Hunter lights up as soon as he sees Kevin and I just know that he misses him during the day.

We have lots of fun things planned for tomorrow but only if the weather stops being silly and lets the sun come back out to play.

I am most looking forward to being at home with my family for

The 183rd Annual General Conference.

It's one of my favorite times of the year and I invite you to join me.

You can watch it here on Saturday & Sunday.

(Watch this NOW to get you in the spirit)

Since it's raining, and Hunter is asleep in his swing 
(only took him an hour to fall asleep... silly teething) 
I figured I'd share a HOT LIST.

This week I will share an item that we each used this week and one item that is on each of our wish lists.

Hot List Used.

Hunter.

Baby Orajel has been a LIFESAVER in our house this week.

Hunter's 3rd & 4th teeth are coming in.

One on top and one on bottom.

They are being so vicious and Hunter is trying so hard to fight through it.

When he just can't handle the pain we put on a little of the Orajel and it seems to relieve some of his discomfort. 

Mommy.

For Easter I got this adorable pink tumbler.

Kevin and I have both made it a goal to be a little healthier and exercise more and having this tumbler has really helped me fight off one of my biggest addictions, Dr. Pepper.

I try to keep the tumbler full all of the time so when I am feeling thirsty I take a swig of my water instead of popping open a soda. 

I refill the tumbler 6+ times a day and have only had a couple sodas this week.

It's a little thing... but it's a start.

Daddy.

Like I mentioned above, Kevin and I are trying to exercise more and he is on top of working out. 

It's helpful that we were able to put a "mini gym" in our unfinished basement.

Kevin was able to find this pull up/dip machine on KSL for a great price and has been using it a lot.

It's just like the one we used when we had a Golds Gym membership except now we can use it whenever we want.

(Like at 5am when Kevin wakes up to work out before work... what a stud)

Hot List Wants.

Hunter.

I have been OBSESSING over these CandyKirby baby leggings for months now.

I think Hunter NEEDS a pair, since he is crawling all over, and I might just have to buy him this pair soon.

CK leggings are all handmade from organic cotton and the patterns are to die for.

Have a little one?

Mommy.

I am IN LOVE with these Jessica Simpson Ginny Daffodil Wedges. 

So cute and PERFECT for Spring.

Dress them up with a cute Sunday outfit or with a pair of Capri's for an afternoon out with my boys.

Aw. Why does my birthday have to be in the same month as Christmas?

$$ Must. Save. To. Buy $$

Daddy.

This is REAL LIFE.

A HOVER GOLF Cart. 

How awesome would this be?

We are so lucky to have a cart when we go golfing

 (I cant imagine hauling that bag full of clubs around 9 holes) 

but how cool would it be to just hover around the green's AND the water?

No Big Deal.

I saw it on the Today Show this morning.

See it HERE to believe it. 

(Kev, I promise to buy this for you when we are ga-jillionaires... Someday)

I linked up w/Family Fridays. 
Go See!

The Grass is always greener...

We have GRASS!!

(And yes I took photos of the ENTIRE process)

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, I apologize for my grass overload but I am so excited about it.

Honestly, it makes such a big difference to not be surrounded by yucky dirt.

We were thrilled when the developer agreed to add landscaping to the house when we sent in our offer to buy the home.

We are in a fairly new area and there are a handful of homes that are not landscaped and it looks so unfinished.

After the first week of living in the home I was done with all of the yucky dirt that was being drug into the house from outside. We have a vacant lot to the west of us and a home being built to the east and it's dusty EVERYWHERE.

(Probably a reason for my coughing the last two weeks)

They were supposed to start landscaping on Monday March 25th, but a prior project held them up and pushed our start day to Thursday March 28th. 

All week I would watch out the window waiting and hoping the landscapers would show up. 

Edge homes hired Automated Rain Sprinklers & Landscapes to do our yard and they were great. We worked with Doug and he was so nice and informative and answered any and all of our questions. 

We were VERY happy with their service.

(In Utah county needing your landscaping done? 

Check out Automated Rain Sprinklers & Landscapes here)

They got right to work when they finally arrived and our yard quickly was leveled out and had sprinklers in it.

Then they put in the fire pit area, our two trees, our mailbox, and curbed the flower beds.

Finally our yard was completed with beautiful, fresh, new, GREEN GRASS! 

It is so much nicer to look out our windows, or to pull up to the house in our car and see the lush green grass all around.

I feel so lucky that we were able to have the yard finished with the home. 

I could not imagine trying to do all that work ourselves.

Two weeks until we can walk on the grass but I am thinking we should have a s'mores night at our place once that time is up!!

Yes, I think you should all come.

Oh, can tomorrow really already be Friday?

This week has FLOWN BY.
