Disney Movie Club

So I just joined the Disney Movie Club. Boy is it great!! DJ and I have always wanted to build up our Disney movie collection but they are always so dang expensive in the stores! So I joined their club. So here is the deal - Upon joining you get 4 movies for just $1.00 (if paying with credit card) by a $1.00 in mean total!!! Then over the next 2 years you must buy 4 movies at full price (starting at $19.95). But here is where it gets better - you may also take a 5th movie for $11.95. This Bonus Movie counts towards your purchase commitment, so you'll only need to purchase 3 more movies in the next 2 years instead of 4. Plus you can select a 6th movie for $8.95! We think it is a great deal and we are glad we joined. Oh, I also didn't mention that if you do join their club you get in on some more awesome deals on movies.The pic is of the 6 movies we got as we joined the club. So, if any of you are interested in joining, let me know! If you join through me I get a free movie! Also if you want a particular Disney movie, maybe I could look for it on my account and see if I can get a deal for you! For further info go to www.disneymovieclub.com and click on Help/FAQ.

College Reunion!

Yesterday a few of my college buddies and I were able to get together and catch up. One of them I hadn't seen for 8 years!! Crazy! We wished that more of our friends from our group could have come, but we hope to get together soon this summer with more of them.



This is a pic of me and one of my best friends Rachel or "Pacha" as we call her! She has been there for me no matter what. I love her dearly, I love it when she visits!

Also as a side note - I accidentally erased all of my family & friends blogs on the side bar, I think I got back most of them (after much time and dedication!) but if yours is not there simply leave a comment with your blog address! Thanks!

Recently........

Here is a little update on what we have been up to lately. Sami and I hosted a shower for Amanda and her little Annie on the way this past weekend. We did a Shower of Firsts which means that each guest brought a gift according to the first they were given, for example, Baby's First Bath Time, Story Time, PlayTime etc.... We played some fun games too - the favorite was when all were given a newborn onesie and was allowed to decorate/design it using fabric makers, Amanda then picked her favorite. We all had a great time and now we are even more excited for little Annie to get here!!!

Here is a pic of the winning onesie:

We also celebrated DJ's 25th Birthday this past Sunday. Here is how he chose to celebrate:

We bought this 1985 Jeep before we took our trip to the DR. We discovered that it was difficult having just one car between the 3 of us - we were thinking maybe a scooter or a bike, well in DJ's search on KSL this is what he found!! Not exactly what I had in mind but it works! DJ loves it! Amongst other celebrations we made a delicious monstrous 7 layer cake:

As for MJ, she is rolling all over the place, that is her mode of transportation! It is pretty entertaining to watch! She is happy that she has finally figured out how to get around on her own. And as for us dealing with her new mode of transportation we are slowly learning to baby proof the house. Here is the latest that she got into:


Yep, wrapping paper! And for those of you who know DJ he is always doing something to get a reaction out of MJ - And here is the latest thing DJ gave her for a reaction:

Peeps!! You can only imagine my reaction!! I think he not only wants a reaction out of her but also out of me!! :)

Aerobics!

So today I started going to an aerobics class. It wore me out but I want to make a habit out of it! To all of you that live near by, mostly those from the ward, I want to invite you to come with me!! It is always more exciting when you have somebody to go with you! Some of you may of heard of it, they have it at a nearby church at approx. 98th South and 2700 West. The teacher is awesome and you also can bring your kiddies along with you!! They hold it every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9am to 10am. Let me know if you are interested!

Back from the Caribbean!

We had an awesome time down in the Domincan Republic with DJ's family. DJ and I had forgotten how different things can be in a different country. Driving on the roads for example was complete madness! It seems as if they throw out all the traffic laws - no stopping at stoplights, no respect for lane lines, etc... Oh but how it is beautiful down there. We were able to go to 4 different beaches, and each one was unique, at one of them we were able to go snorkeling!! DJ and I also had the opportunity of going to a resort for a night without little MJ. One always imagines what it would be like to stay at a resort from what you hear and info from the media, well for us our stay at a resort met and exceeded our expectations. Eat what you want, whenever you want, and go as you please exploring all the recreation they have to offer. Best of all there is a beach at you side all the time! Thanks DJ's parents for that awesome opportunity!! We also had a great time shopping and haggling with the sellers. MJ did really well down there. She received plenty of attention from all the locals. They always wanted to touch her and always stated that she looked like a baby doll. I have put together a slideshow that is on the sidebar of our D.R. pics. Thanks to DJ's family for the great time!!
