So much to catch up on!
First of all, we were lucky enough to get a visit from Mandi awhile ago and finally get to see baby Kennedy!
It was so good seeing them both, we miss them like crazy!

A big congrats to our graduates!!
Rachel graduated from law school from the U of U. Such a great accomplishment.
Jeanette graduated from the U as well in nursing! They will both be so great in the professions! Congrats girls! We are proud of you.

We got together to celebrate these girls as well as wish Tiffany a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Linds had us over to her cute home and prepared really yummy appetizers! Thanks Linds.

It was fun for those that were able to come celebrate!

Also, Jeanette & Todd had their baby! Welcome Baby Boy ( I didnt get permission from the new parents if I could post his name & its after 11 PM...so maybe more details to follow :) )
Congrats you guys. We are so excited for you and know you will be awesome parents!!

When are you too old for sleepovers?...NEVER!

2010-04-06T21:01:00.000-07:00

For our monthly gathering we had a sleepover!
Its hard coordinating 11 girls for a sleepover, so we are sorry for those that werent able to make it.
We started off the night with some delicious treats provided by everyone and headed out to the Kemp Spa for some more Pedis!

We had lots of good chats in the Spa. Its always fun to reminisce about high school memories..and we have a whole lot of them!
Rachel brought some of our old high school dance pictures. It was fun/funny looking through them.

Eight out of eleven isnt too bad! Especially when 2 of them live far away!

Will we ever grow up? I hope not.

We also celebrated March birthdays!
Happy Birthday in March to Mandi (We missed you), Stephanie, Rachel, and Kailey who slept over her birthday eve!
We had so much fun staying up and talking! So much in fact we were up until almost 3 am chatting.
Most girls had husbands at home and some with kids, so thanks everyone for making the sacrifice for a night out with the girls!
Hard wood floors make a great sleepover spot ;)

The pregnant lady got a bed and her own room to herself...hopefully you werent lonely Jeanetty

Linds and I got to snuggle for the night. Thanks for sharing Dave

The sleepover gang

The next morning, Kaileys birthday, we had some homemade Cinnamon rolls provided by the birthday girl herself.
Thanks everyone for a super fun blast from the past Sleepover!

Pedi's!

Last week ago we got together to have a little pampering.
We went and had pedis and frozen yogurt. What could be better...well I'll tell you. It would help a ton if your feet weren't the most ticklish things in the world.
But we had a great time.
We had lots of laughs, and catching up, and of course planning what we could do next month.
The girls

The finished product + Jeanette(so glad you could make it girl!)

A huge thanks to Steph & Steve for having us over to their beautiful home for our Christmas party!

Mandi was home taking her of her new little bundle of joy. Congrats you guys!

So sad Katy had to leave before we could get a group shot.

Such a ladies man. Jeanette, Todd & Sandy

Mary Kay & Cupcakes

2009-11-14T14:46:00.000-08:00

This month we got together at Lindsey and Daves new house for some delicious food, and a nice presentation of Mary Kay by Lindseys sweet cousin.

We all got to make our left hands extra smooth from the product presentation :)

Lindsey was sweet enough to have balloons for girls with November birthdays, and also with some very tasty cupcakes!!
Rachel...we were so happy to see you!

Lindsey, thanks for the yummy cupcakes and sweet star candles!!

After the party was all over, Kailey and I were standing out by our cars. It was really dark and chilly but we stayed out and chatted for a bit. Lindsey sent us home with our birthday balloons so I had mine in the back seat blocking my view of the back window. As we went to leave I backed up not being able to see and hit a garbage can (there were 4) and it tipped over and made all the others almost tip as well. Kaily and I laughed so hard and she came out and helped me get it back up. Thanks Kailey for being there to laugh with me!
Things we learned this visit:
Tiffany's red shoes stink without socks ;)
We need to keep our ears open for a new home for Kaileys dog :)
Courtney thought she got to actually keep the dollar bills from Mary Kay
Katy makes a mean fruit dish..loved it!

Happy Birthday JeAnEtTey!!

This was our first meeting and where The Book Club That Doesnt Read was created.

We are a group of 11 gals that have been friends for a long time. Some of us longer then others. We all became really close in high school (Go Silverwolves!). As life happens, we tend to drift apart and that is why we have come up with our new plan.
We want to meet once a month for those that can make it, and blog about it. Hopefully it will be a good way for us to keep in touch and remain good friends.

We missed you girls that couldnt make it.
