day 4: went and hung out with my mama

day 5: played with the cutest nephews and nieces of my life

day 6: offered to help a lady bag her groceries at Winco

day 7: sick all day :( missed my husbands football game :( Cheered at home via text message updates! I am also going to take this time to brag....first of all I have the best family and friends who kept me updated on the game and kept making sure I was ok....second of all....the only touchdown on Saturday, by DUSTIN!!!! He intercepted the ball and ran back and scored a 100 yd. touchdown!!! I was so sad I missed it but so excited for him. Being that I was dead to the world today, my positive act was that I cheered my husband on in football....but I was surrounded by positive acts of all those around me! Thank you everyone!

day 8: started making christmas cards for others!

Day 2 and 3

Day 2: went and visited with my parents :)

Day 3: Spent my entire day at the hospital for clinical's. I think nurses do about 500+ positive acts a day!!!!!! I made a friend, one of my patients, and fell in love with her! cutest lady of my life!

Confession: I get on Twitter

Confesson: I am an obsessive/dedicated watcher of the Bachelorette/Bachelor

Confession: I follow Kiptyn from the Bachelorette on Twitter

The point? I read on his twitter about his 10 for 10 campaign. What it is, is for 10 days do 10 positive acts, one each day.

I shouldn't have to read something like this to want to do at least ONE positive act a day, but I get so caught up in my life that I often don't think about it and probably don't make the effort. SO I am challenging myself to do something positive everyday, big or small. and I wanted to post in case anyone else wants to join in.

So for day #1. I made my husband dinner (I should do that anyways) BUT....thats mine for today.

Must listen

it is out of the ordinary when i post two times in the same month, let alone day. but this calls for extreme measures. EVERYONE go to justgetoffyourbuttandbake.com- look at the post from august 24th- the banana caramel xango. yum??? I am going to make these this week and since I am probably going to gain 10 lbs making them, I am taking everyone else down with me. so get to it!

These are pictures from my mother in law Carrie's 50th wedding birthday party! We performed skits of different memories throughout her life. It was so much fun and we are so lucky to be able to celebrate such a wonderful persons life!!

Carrie

SURPRISE!!

Everyone at the party!

Carrie tried going down a ramp on a bmx bike. This is a re-enactment of how it all panned out!

Carrie was the IFHS Cheerleading mascot! This is Dillon doing a cheer.

All the girls dressed up. She wore certain clothes on certain days of the week!
Monday:dress pants.
Tuesday: dresses
Wednesday: dress pants
Thursday: dresses
Friday: jeans.

She loves post-its, so the banner was made completely out of post-its!

headache!!!!!

Well...after 1238901238903 complications of trying to add pictures, screw it. I might attempt to try adding them later today, until then, you get words. We cant believe summer is coming to an end!! Fall is always so busy for us but so much fun. Dustin is in football camp and has been for the last week and a half and will be done on Saturday! I'm so excited to have my husband back and I am excited to watch him play another season of football. We had a really great summer. We were able to go to Redfish this summer, which we were thrilled about because we weren't able to go last year!

We also had a crazy August 7th this year! My brothers birthday, my grandma and grandpa C's wedding anniversary party, and my mother in laws birthday!! We went to my grandparents party and then headed up to Idaho Falls for the surprise party we threw for Dustin's mom. It was so much fun! We are so lucky to have all of these individuals in our lives and lucky to share these special days with them!

Secrets out of the bag...Dustin found his surprise. I was going to surprise him with tickets to a 49ers game....and he found out. I was going to wrap up both the plane and game tickets for his Christmas present BUT oh well!! We are going to go down to San FRAN for New years eve and spend some time there and then they play the Cardinals on the 2nd of January so we are excited!!

Last but not least, we have some very close friends to recently lost their little baby boy. They are dealing with it so great. Their testimonies of the plan of salvation has strengthened mine so much! They are really great examples. Please keep them in your prayers!
