Baby Showers and a Christmas Playlist

I am a big fan of parties, small, big, it doesn't matter.

This last Saturday I had the opportunity to host a friend's Baby Shower. I decided to to give it a winter picnic theme...

The invites had a splash of plaid

 (as did the party favors) and for the most part I just threw pinecones and candles around the room.

The Playlist I had going on during the Shower (and have had since in my head):

A Request

Can we just pretend that I didn't just abandon the blog, and start over?

Okay. 

Well, we'll start over next week. Today I'll just share some pics from the last... couple of months (ouch) so I don't feel so guilty about being so neglectful...

Visiting my stud of a brother after his football game.

Some of the best photos my sisters took of themselves. (I'll have to share some of the silly ones later!)

Camping up by Bryce Canyon with the Boys

Some panoramics of Bryce Canyon.

Learning to juice...

and can apples!

Halloween!

 Fall Temple Trips, Walks around Town and Voting!

Heavenly Chicken Tacos

I've eaten a lot of tacos in my time...

Some made at home, and some... not eaten at home. 

So I know where to go for the best tacos. 

Mike's mom for instance, makes the best regular tacos. 

If you're looking for a good shrimp taco I know a stand in Cabo that is to die for.

Looking for Carne Asada? We'll have to hit up a family friend in California. 

But!

If you would like to stay at home and make yourself a delicious chicken taco then you have to go to One Stop Cook and follow their recipe for tacos! 

Try it! I promise you won't be disappointed!
