A Night To Remember

Chantel had her bridal shower last week on Saturday, it was really fun and she had a great turnout! I planned all of her games and everyone had a blast!

We started the party off with a good old fashion game of 'Pin the lingerie on the stick figure Bride' Everyone at the party designed their own paper lingerie... I provided them with feathers, pom poms, fake jewels and all sorts of fun stuff!

Helena pining her lingerie on the bride!


JoAnn and Annie's creation, they went all out! Because they had sort many pieces to their outfit, they decided it would be easier if they each took a few pieces and pined them on at the same time (I especially like the shoes)

Chantel (aka the bride)
This picture doesn't do her lingerie justice! The feathered top and jeweled bottom... It was awesome!

The winner of the game!
Mike's sister Mendy ended up pinning her lingerie on almost perfectly! It was impressive!

Chantel dancing in her cooking apron! The girls at he party then had to try and recall what utensils Chantel was wearing... After she was done dancing of course.

Chantel modeling her magazine wedding dress! I split everyone into three teams, the first did the top half of the dress, the second did the bottom and the third did all the accessories
The dress turned out great!
(the team that did the top half ended up wining)

I had a few more pictures I wanted to post but my Internet is being slow and is taking forever to upload my pictures... I have decided it is really not worth the wait (the pictures aren't THAT great!)

Cheesecake Factory

Last Friday Chantel had a cheesecake tasting party at the Cheesecake Factory! The happy couple (Chantel and Michael) have decided that they are going to have a 'wedding cheesecake' instead of a 'wedding cake' Michael is not a fan of regular cake, so this was their solution.


We ended up trying eight different pieces, these were no mere pieces either.... (they were huge!)


All of the cheesecake was really good and REALLY sweet! It was hard to taste them all because they were so rich but it was totally worth it : )

Day at The Museum

Dave and I took David to the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point yesterday. Dave and I have been re-watching the Jurassic Park movies and I felt like going and seeing some real dinosaurs! David has never been to that museum before, so we thought it would be fun to take him along. Turns out I was right and we had a blast!

Dave not getting the whole 'raptors are not friends' thing

The incredibly large sea turtle

If only he had looked behind him, he might still be here today...
A fun fact it that teeth they found from this thing were 7 inches long!


They look so casual for having a T-rex fight in the background

These sea creatures sure seem irritable

for those of you who weren't sure David is fine and wasn't really attacked by the shark replica

Sexy Housewife

A few weeks ago Helena (my sister) had her bridal shower, this post is a little late… but I thought better late then never! As the Matron of Honor I felt the need to make sure all of the games were up to a high standard and I made sure they accomplished a few things-


1.They needed to make the bride look good

She had to answer questions about Kurt (the groom) and for every answer right she had to chew one piece of gum and for every answer wrong she had to chew two!

The finished product.....

2. They needed to help her with ideas for her wedding dress

The blushing brides!
(Joann and My Grandma Kaiser)

3. They needed to help her with her coking skills

She needed to make a cake without any measuring cups or recipe. Annie (sister in-law) put out a bunch of different ingredients on the counter for her to choose from, some of them you would normally put in a cake…. Helena took the ‘safe’ way about it and just put everything in her ‘cake batter’ butter spray, vinegar, different types of oil, you know the usual stuff.

The cake turnout a little dense… after trying to decide what to do with it, we settled on turning it into a penalty for losing a game! You lose a game you eat a piece of ‘cake’

4. They also needed to showcase how giving she is

Toss the wedding bouquet is a great way to not only practice sharing but it also helps with getting out pent up aggression!
(My Grandma Kaiser ended up winning, but Helena did make it to the final three)

The bridal shower turned out really well and everyone had a lot of fun, I would post pictures of Helena opening her gifts but the theme of the shower was Sexy Housewife and the gifts followed that theme : ) I don’t think she would want those pictures posted!
