Girls Weekend

Okay girls it is time to get serious and get something booked for girls weekend. First I wanted to give some facts before we make a final decision on where to book. Now I don't know where most of you are coming from, or where you are dropping kids off, but I know that Idaho is the winner. However I just wanted everyone to think about it before we decide. Now if you are coming from Utah, whether you are flying into or dropping kids of at then know it is at least a two to three hour drive to where I am. We had discussed having it in Island Park at a cabin but that is a five hour drive from SLC. I am not trying to talk anyone out of Idaho because I would love it, but those are the facts. So what I am telling you now is to think about where you are coming from and what you want to do. I am going to need a head count pretty soon so that I can do some research as to where we will go for sure. I have been looking into some places in SLC or Island Park, or if anyone has any suggestions of even somewhere in the middle I am game. I just didn't want to make any decisions that might make it hard on too many people. Let me know what you think and I will get to booking. So everyone post and let me know specifically if you are coming and where you were planning to fly into. Even if you are thinking about coming let me know so that I can know how big I am looking for.


Thanks, can't wait to see everyone.

Girl's Weekend

Hey Girls!
Hope you all are doing well. I was wondering if anything has been finalized for girls weekend or not. I would be willing to help in any way... just let me know!
and again Congrats to the new pregnancies and new babies!

Ryan Dean Bassett

We had our baby last Friday night at 11:42 pm. This pregnancy was definitely my most interesting. After a couple questionable ultrasounds my doctor decided it was time to get the little guy out. I was in shock when she told me she wanted me to go straight to the hospital and get induced. Of course this was one of the few times Ken was working at a different hospital (I delivered at the one he normally works at). It took some work but he was finally able to get away so he could be there for the birth. My epidural was only working on my right side, it was not fun. Each time I have a baby my epidural works less and less (they said probably due to scar tissue). Ryan came out with his cord wrapped around his neck 2 times but with no complications. He seems to be a perfectional healthy baby. He was 6lbs 5 oz and 20 inches long.

I am healing fine. I have had issues with breastfeeding. It is SO frustrating! One would think after breastfeeding 3 kids it would be second nature. Unfortunately, this is not the case for me. I have blood blisters and open sores. Can you say, ouch!

I am just so glad he is here and healthy...and that I am done with the doctor's visits (I was having to go 2+ times a week at minimum of 2 1/2 hours a visit. It was getting really old.)

New Year's Resolutions

Is anyone else already struggling with keeping their new year's resolutions?  I have completely let mine go!  I am not the type that makes a lot of resolutions each year.  Usually just one or two.  This year, however, I feel extraordinarily inept.  I had a list of 4 resolutions and NOT ONE of them is going well.  Especially my resolution to be more organized.  I bought baskets and bins, made a list of what needed organizing..... and it stopped there.  All I'm DOING is stressing about it now.  I feel like I'm drowning in piles of junk!  Anyone really good at organizing?  Britt?  Megan?  Who else is really organized... ??  Bryony?  Rachel?

The only place in my house that is tidy and organized right now is my office.  I know that's ironic, but seeing all those pretty flowers and ribbons, sewing supplies, papers and scrapbooking tools stored and displayed neatly just makes me GIDDY!  So, I'm on top of that, but my "LIFE" is a mess.  How do I get motivated again?!?

Oh and... Amy- it looks like Idaho is the clear winner!!  Let us know what you need help with k?

Who else..

Anyone else have a home business?  I added a link for my website, and would love to add yours too.  Anyone sell tupperware or candles or anything?  Girlfriends gotta support each other, right?!  ;0)  

It's (going to be) a Girl!

I had my ultrasound a couple weeks ago, and we found out we're having another girl! We are excited, the kids can't wait. Now we play the name game... So Jenny, I will probably be ordering some cute bows! Let us know when you get an etsy site or however we can check them out and order some!
Everything looked okay on the u/s although she measures pretty small, so I have another u/s at my next appt in a couple weeks.
I can't wait to hear what the final verdict is on the girl's trip. I'm hoping I can still come (and enjoy) even though I'll have a little person with me. I miss you all!

Check out the poll to your right ------>

Hey girls!!

Today we drove past the movie theater, and I could think of nothing I would rather do this weekend that to go see "Bride Wars" and out to Cold Stone with all of you! Is it July yet? There'd better be some good chick flicks out then that we can go and see! :)

I added the poll Amy asked for. I really don't care either way. I voted for Idaho, but any place would be alrighty by me! We're going to drive out, and stay for a week. Have we narrowed down a weekend yet? We had discussed the weekend of the 11th or the weekend of the 18th, right? I CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG!!

By the way, ladies, I've started a little mini business making headbands, flowers and bows for little girls. I have tons of supplies and my prices are cheap. If any of you are interested, let me know! Custom orders are my favorite!! I can do just about anything from tiny baby clips, corker bows, giant flowers, the interchangable headbands and bows, and cute little fly away hair bands. I can ship most any order for between $2.50- $5.00. I also make and sell the "hooter hiders." I can do them for $20 if you don't want the designer fabric. $25 otherwise. You can add things on like pockets, matching burp cloths, and cute little silky strings for baby to play with while he/she nurses. I'm working on setting up an etsy site or something.

I just added the picture for fun :)
