Art City Days

I have been waiting for my sister, Jannifer, to post these photos on her blog so I could steal them! Sorry if you read her blog too, this might all seem very familiar to you. Last week we went to the Art City Days and had a very fun time. We first went to Art City Trolley for dinner, but we didn't take any pics there. I love that place though, it's so yummy! If you are ever in Springville, you should go there. And here are some photos of the rest of our adventure:

The carnival. We didn't ride any rides though because the lines were way too long!

Joel, Becky & Mason came with us. We mostly walked through the craft fair with them because the rides scared poor Mason a little bit. They were pretty noisy!

Then we ate blue snow cones.

And then we played this dart game. I got 3 out of 3.

And Jannifer got 1 out of 3. So what were our prizes???

The EXACT SAME THING! I was kind of mad about it because I thought I should have gotten a bigger prize for popping all the balloons. I asked the man what I had to do to get a bigger prize and he said "pay more money." Dumb game! Oh well. Jannifer named hers Randolf and I named mine Randall. They are twins.

And then I played this game where you try to win a goldfish. I didn't actually want a goldfish, but it was the cheapest game there. And in the end I did not win.

After the carnival we decided to go to the Art Museum (which is why Springville is called the "Art City"). We got to the museum 5 minutes after closing, so we walked around the grounds instead and looked at the sculptures. We then decided to be part of the sculptures. See if you can spot us.... :)

This one is entitled "bike rack."

Eagle statue.

Admiring the new baby.

Helping the farmer with his chores. That bag was very heavy!

I must admit, Jannifer and I get a little crazy when we are together. I have a feeling if Noelle were there it might have gotten even crazier. Good thing all 3 of us are hanging out tomorrow! Our men will be there to keep us in line though.

As for the rest of Art City Days, Dan and I attended the parade Saturday morning, but I forgot my camera! I always forget my camera. It was fun though and luckily it did not rain. We didn't do much else with the festivities though due to illness and business trips. Thanks again Jannifer for coming to hang out with me!

Screamin Coupons

So a while ago I posted about a site called City Deals. Well... I have come across another great site that offers deals too. I always love a good deal :). And I like my friends to get good deals too. This site is called Screamin Coupons and every day they will email you some type of deal. You don't have to buy it, but you can. The cool thing with this company is if you buy a deal, they give a portion back to the school of your choice. Since I graduated in education, I'm always up for supporting local schools and I get a great deal too. So it's a win-win situation. Today I just got a deal for $10 at a local restaurant for only $5. Pretty sweet! Most of the deals have to do with entertainment, restaurants, stuff like that. I know they do deals in Utah and some in California. Not sure about anywhere else.

If you're interested, go here: Screamin Coupons

Enjoy!

Are you excited?

Is anyone else excited for this????

I am! And I don't even have any kids to take to it. Just me & Dan :)

A little ridiculous

I really don't know what's going on, but I am officially calling this week "make sure Michele gets sick with everything week!" At least, I hope it's just a week... If you read my last post you know I was sick at the beginning of the week. Well Wednesday I started to feel great and then Thursday I started getting a sore throat... and I woke up this morning with it still here. I'm not sure what's to follow. It's getting a little ridiculous though, don't you think? I hope I feel ok tomorrow because it's the parade! I love parades :).

Ok I'll stop complaining, good things have happened this week. Dan made it home safely. And Wednesday, the night I did feel well, I went to the carnival with some of my siblings and then my sister and I went to the art museum- I'll post pics once I get them from her. And also, Dan and I found this really yummy cafe last night in Spanish Fork. And I got drenched in the downpour yesterday, which I actually thought was hilarious. It was raining/hailing so hard! Hmmm... maybe that's how I got this sore throat...?

this week...

This week has not been the best week of my life. Why? Because Dan has been in Seattle on a business trip and I have been here. I had all these plans of shopping, errands, making crafts, cleaning, etc. in order to keep myself busy while he was away. But guess what? I did none of these things. Why? Because I had a very unwanted visitor... named... the Stomach Flu. So instead, what did I do? Let's see... I spent way too much time in the bathroom (I'll spare you the gruesome details), I laid on the couch, I laid on my bed, I slept, I drank a lot of gatorade, I ate soup, I ate crackers, I slept some more, I watched tv, I watched movies, I did not wear makeup, I did not do my hair, I missed Dan, and one day I got enough energy to walk out to get the mail and to see the light of day. That has been my past two days. But I do have to say I have a great family, because Monday my sisters came and took care of me and watched a movie with me and Tuesday my brother and his wife fed me (once my stomach could handle it) and my sister-in-law watched Gilmore Girls with me. Those were the best times of the last two days... that and the times I got to talk to Dan. But... I'm sure glad today is here because I woke up feeling good and Dan comes home! And I'm going to a carnival (more to come on that later). I might even go shopping, run errands, clean my house and do crafts. So goodbye stomach flu, you can leave now!

p.s. Side note, I'm pretty sure any time Dan goes out of town, something bad happens to me! Luckily he doesn't leave town often. But last year I got into a car accident and this year I was sick! I guess he can never leave again, unless I'm with him :)
