Happy Pioneer Day, Utah! July 24, 2008
Posted by Emily in : Daily Life, Family, My Handsome Husband, Princess Hannah, Thoughts, Utah , trackbackHappy Pioneer Day, Utah! (For those of you who are not familiar with “Utah Pioneer Day”, just know that it’s a state holiday, celebrating the day the Utah Pioneers crossed the plains and settled in Utah. This holiday is as big as the 4th of July around here . . .) To celebrate, we lit some sparklers.
I know, we are such party animals. 
We had to light the sparklers while it was still light outside so Hannah could enjoy them. Hannah turns into a pumpkin around 7:00 PM, so waiting to light these suckers in the dark was just not an option. Seriously, the sun doesn’t set until 9:30 PM around here. (Isn’t David handsome? I sure think so . . .)
Hannah only had to be told to HOLD THE SPARKLERS OUT IN FRONT OF HER (and not directly at David) 1,298 times.
She sure had a great time. In case you were wondering why she is modeling so many hair clips . . . All I have to say is SHE IS TWO YEARS OLD. SHE WANTED TO WEAR THEM. ALL OF THEM. Need I say more?
Earlier today, I celebrated by leaving the house ALL BY MYSELF to go shopping. I made some great purchases, and found much more to buy than I anticipated. (What can I say? I’m an expert shopper!)
One purchase is worth mentioning, because it will CHANGE YOUR LIFE. Well, it will change the way you feel in your own skin, which will make you feel better about your body.
SPANKS. Every woman needs a pair. No, every woman needs two or three pairs (you know, one to wear, one to wash, and one to rest). You will automatically lose inches around your waist and they are SO COMFORTABLE. I used to carry these at our Bridal store and I would sell them to every bride. They tighten you in all the right places. They are wonderful. So wonderful, that I didn’t even feel crappy about paying full price for them (I no longer have the luxury of buying them at cost since I no longer own a business). Plus, Nordstrom is offering them at 25% off right now during their half yearly sale. GO. BUY THEM. You’ll be emailing me with how much you love them. I recommend the “Higher Power Spanks.”

Hilarious pictures. Their expressions in the first one are too funny and in the second pic, Hannah looks like she is trying to light David on fire.
Happy Pioneer Day!!

PS. Good for you for letting Hannah wear all her clips!
We really missed celebrating this year. I even forgot all about it. They don’t recognize that holiday in Arkansas. I am a fan of Spanx myself. Love it Love it Love it. Especially after having a baby.
Congrats on being back in jeans 10 days after. I remember those days, then I had baby #3. And 4 months later instead of only having 5 pounds to go, I had 20. AHHH!!! Plus, I am almost 30 now. Did I just say that out loud?
