Come and do some early holiday shopping, or just find some cool stuff for yourself! There's going to be a lot of great stuff... don't miss out!!

Sky Fest

Mid September, we went up to Cedar City, Utah to go to Sky Fest. It's a festival where they inflate about 17-20 hot air balloons all at the same time. It was so cool! The kids really enjoyed it, and so did we. I don't think any of us had ever been that close to a hot air balloon before. It's amazing how big they really are and how they can float up into the air to quickly after being blown up. The only bad part of the day was having to get up REALLY early to be there... and they started much later than they said they were going to. But, I think we'll try and go again next year!

Trey's Birthday

Trey turned 3 on September 1st! About 2 weeks before he was going to turn 3, he started practicing holding up three fingers so he could show everyone how old he was. He was so excited to have a "race car" party too. It was probably the high-light of his life so far! I saw an awesome "race car" party that a friend of mine had done, so I pretty much just copied everything she did, (Thank you Tricia!!!) It turned out SO DANG CUTE! It was so much fun making everything for the party, and we even decorated a couple of days early just so Trey could enjoy it a little longer than just one day. There were checkered banner flags everywhere, balloons, and race cars on everything, even a t-shirt for Trey. We had chocolate cupcakes and ice cream and played games like "Stop & Go" and Plasma car races in the cul-de-sac (which the adults tried out too). I really think that Trey was just in heaven the whole time. Trey got some really cool gifts, like a new Plasma car with his name on it, and a Home Depot work bench. Happy Birthday, Trey.... WE LOVE YOU!!!

Yummy! Trey's leftover cupcakes from his birthday!

Oh, what a mess.

A mess at a whole new level! (Seriously Tally?!)

DaisyLoo Designs

My talented sister-in-law, Heather, just started up an Etsy shop. She has some REALLY cute stuff: ponytail holders, mouse pads, clip boards, bookmarks, and key fobs. Check it out here!

Getting back on track

So I've been taking a major blogging break because I was diligently working on my Blurb blog book. I'm done now, so now I can update with whats been going on in the present. I can't wait to get my book in the mail! The reason I do this blog is to record the family events in the Bunker household, which, I turn into a "scrapbook" of all the year's events. So back to the present in the year 2009! I seriously have a list of 12 things to blog about... a little daunting. Maybe I'll get to all of them. Maybe not. Oh, and some of the events im pre-dating... so they might be below this post somewhere.

Tally's Birthday

Tally is finally one year old!! We are so excited for her to turn one and to start so many new fun adventures, not being a baby anymore. For her birthday we had a butterfly party, inspired by the "Charlie & Lola" cartoon show. It was so fun to put together and it came out just as I envisioned. Butterflies were everywhere, and Trey even helped put butterflies all over the house. Instead of a cake, we did milk and cookies, just like Lola likes. We had regular, soy, chocolate, and pink milk, and about 6 or 7 different types of cookies. But for Tally's own personal birthday cake with a candle, she got her first taste of "Sprinkles" with a classic black and white cupcake. We were all jealous! Tally really seemed to have a lot of fun and she got some great gifts from all the family. Happy Birthday, Tally, WE LOVE YOU so much!
