Broccoli Wedding

My mom grew broccoli for the first time and grew a really nice bunch.

So naturally we pretended that it was a bridal bouquet and took some bridal photos.

The diet Pepsi is to show a size comparison. And partially because I love it so much.

Restaurant Review: Mangini's Pizza

On to happier things! There are more important things than free shoes.

***

Ever heard of the pizza place

Mangini's?

It's a take 'n bake pizza place in Idaho Falls and it is awesome!

We recently tried it and it so good. The prices are also really great. They are cheaper than Papa Murphy's. In fact, they take $2 off every time you buy a large or extra large pizza. They put a lot of toppings on their pizza and I love the sauce and dough.

We didn't try their cheesy bread, but it looked amazing!

We still love our Papa Murphy's,

but we highly recommend Mangini's as well.

The owner is super nice and we are happy to give them our business.

If you want to give them a try, they are located on the south side of Leo's Pizza off 1st St in Idaho Falls.
You're going to love it!

I'm Such a Loser

I wish I knew how to read a calendar.

So I could see that today is actually the 21st and not the 20th.

I wouldn't be sitting here wishing I was still getting my new shoes.

Since it turns out the deadline to claim them was the 20th, and I thought today was the 20th.

And I didn't claim them till today.

Such a bummer.

It's amazing how something so exciting could turn into something so depressing.

Thank You, Recessionista!

I'm sure most of you girls in southeast Idaho have heard about the awesomeness that is Recessionista. For those who don't know, it is a store here in Idaho Falls full of clothes, hats, scarves, jewelry, etc. with brands found at Nordstram Rack and TJ Maxx, but with lower prices! It's a really great place. You can even have parties at your house with these products, like the party I had at my house in April (different company though. Remember this?)

For the last week and a half they have done "Ten Days of Giveaways" and given something different away each day to followers of the blog. The last day was for a pair of designer shoes.

And guess who won! If you guessed me, then you're right!

I was so thrilled when I heard the news. And I owe my life to my sister-in-law Britney for letting me know I won. I wouldn't have even known and would have missed my chance at a free pair of shoes. Thanks so much, Brit! I owe you big time!

And a huge thanks to Recessionista for the shoes. If you want to see which ones I chose you can check them out here! I am so excited to get them!

4-Month Shots

Brycen had his 4-month shots on August 4.

He did really well with his check-up.

At the appointment he weighed 15 lb 15 1/2 oz. (50%) and measured 25 inches (70%).

The doctor said he looks great! Always a good thing to hear.

Shots are never a fun thing. He did really well though. He didn't cry for too long. He went to sleep as soon as I gave him his binky and his blanket.

For just having shots, he was in a great mood when we got home!

Two Miller Birthdays

This little cutie pie is three years old today.

Happy birthday, Lillie!

We celebrated two birthdays in the first week of August: Lillie's and Tyson's dad, Milan.

Lillie's party was a tea party theme. She invited all her cousins. Everybody came all dressed up. It was so cute! Erika did a great job.

Delicious cupcakes

The babies!

Andy, Jack, Saydie & Brycen

Brycen and Jack were so cute! Brycen kept grabbing onto Jack's finger.

Gramps took good care of Brycen while I took pictures.

Game time!

Time for tea!

The kids had a bell they rang when they needed more "tea" (apple juice).

Cooper was the only boy at the tea party (besides the baby boys.) What a trooper!

Kate's turn

The best part of the pinata: picking up all the candy.

Brycen didn't make it through the entire party. He fell asleep outside.

Time to blow out the candles!

Cute lille Andy

(Elisha's little boy)

Time for presents!

We got her the Dr. Seuss book "The Lorax" and a stuffed Lorax to go with it.

Lillie kept saying, "Alli, look!" She's so cute.

And from her dad, a super huge and awesome doll house. Every little girl's dream! Her dad built it for her. Erika made all the bedding and other cloth work. She also painted it. Talented family!

No shock that the girls all loved this house. It is amazing.

Milan's Birthday

We celebrated Milan's birthday later in the week. This picture would suggest that it's Lillie's birthday again. But she just really likes birthdays and singing "Happy Birthday."

And she blew out the candle.

The cake

It says, "Happy Birthday / Good Luck"

It was Milan's birthday, and also our last party before Clark and Kristi moved to Reno. They will be missed!

During dinner Lillie came outside with something white on her face. She had gotten herself a little taste of the cake. Can you tell on the corner?

I love his hair!

Brycen fell asleep in the bumbo. That boy can fall asleep anywhere!
