Mom and Dad run the marathon and My Flea Market Finds!

Mom and Dad trying to stay warm before their run!

The Runners Are Off!

I have to say one thing about this book. After going to Paris I have to say Parisian children are angels. Whenever I saw a child throwing a fit or running around a restaurant like it was a playground, I would listen to see if they were French. They never were.  

I found this baby coat at the Paris Flea Market. I'm in LOVE! My dad had to pitch in to help me afford what I bought! Love you DAD! Thanks!!


A La Masion De Paris. Love that bit!
A little detail.

Another Paris Flea Market find. This dress is from the turn of the century. Little girls wore these white dresses with black tights and black shoes. This would be THE dress that my dad pretty much bought for me. It's over a hundred years old. For special occasions ONLY! We'll have to get some portraits done in this one....uh that is if I have a girl!

I had to buy this one because it was so Parisian! It's a good thing I live FAR FAR away from the Paris Flea Market. I could spend a whole lotta of dough there!!

I'm taking a little break from Paris posts to make note of a really lovely outing. Me, Amanda and Sierra went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. It was really beautiful. I wish my back yard looked like this.....................                                                                                              






HAHAHA! I was horrified by something Sierra said. I didn't know I could make this kind of face!!!

I Love Paris in the Springtime. Part 2.

Notre Dame.


Paris flea market. So amazing. I picked up a few goodies. I'll post those later.

Swoon.

This dog was so cute. It's true that they allow dogs in restaurants...how much more fun would that make life?

Red lipstick. I'm still pretty shy about it. I feel so conspicuous. I don't know when my  red lips will make their Utah debut. We'll see.

Biggest disappointment had to be Moulin Rouge. In my opinion it's one of the most romantic movies of all time.  It was surrounded by sex shops and topless bars. I cried a little inside.

WOOT WOOT!

Me and my mom in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle. She was freezing. I think I would have been if I hadn't been so excited!



I Love Paris in the Springtime!

The view from our hotel room. Isn't it so Parisian?

Up close, real life. The Eiffel Tower.

Mom and Dad.

Me and my mommy!

Nutella Crepe! I ate this on a sidewalk cafe in Paris. It doesn't get much better than that!

Laduree. 
They have the best Macaroons in Paris.

I was pretty excited. I've read so much about it.

Aren't they pretty?

Sidewalk Cafe by Notre Dame. Isn't that Wisteria gorgeous!?

Spring Has Sprung and Happy Easter : )

  In my opinion today was the most beautiful day of the year. Seeing Spring pop up everywhere gives me a sense of peace and renewal every year. I don't think that will ever change. I had such a fun day relaxing with my family, minus poor Jonny who had to work.                                                                                            
My Grandma's Sugar Eggs. I'm doing these next years. So cute.
Me and My Grandma! We started the day off with a beautiful walk. OH my poor tortured eyebrows. They will grow back, they will grow back, they will grow back. That's what I keep telling myself!

Tanner and my Gpa on our walk. Isn't that birdhouse divine?!


Love my grandparents.


My Grandma's Hopping Bunny Rolls.

Spring is in the air.....



The best part of our walk was walking the temple grounds. Stunning. Strange side note, there was a couple making out in the parking lot.....I guess the temple may have that effect on some people.
