Memorial Day weekend!

We had a great one.  It started off with some great memorial day sales.  I have been looking for some colored jeans and I picked myself up these two pair at the True Religion outlet for $35 each.  Originally $180 each!  I feel like I got a smokin' deal.
We also hit up the H&M friends and family sale and I got a few cute blouses from their $5 clearance.  I got an additional 20% off too!  Bryan needed a few new spring/ summer things and made out well also.  Wish I could get him to model his new what he calls, "Shia Labouf" suit.  It is a suit vest with matching pants.  I have never seen him more excited.  He also bought himself a white suit b/c why?  He said that it is a summer MUST have in his GQ magazine of course!  I will see if we can get some modeling shots later this week.  I promise they will be good.  He already modeled it for the missionaries with a baby blue shirt, navy tie and navy blue Sperry Top siders while telling them he was ready for the upcoming summer wedding receptions!  Sadly, this is NOT a joke!

Amanda and I did some cupcake tasting at a new cupcake shop.  They were NOT as good as Sprinkles!
The weather by our house was crummy so we headed out to Palm Springs where it was 80 degrees and beautiful.  The girls loved playing in the pool all day.

Dinner at CPK one night

And dinner with Mike as well with him and Bryan in matching shirts.  
We stopped at Bryan's parents for a BBQ on our way home where Berkley thoroughly enjoyed the Ice Cream mud pie!

And the biggest news of the weekend...  Drew and Elle got engaged today in Park City!!!  We couldn't be happier and can't wait to have a darling new sister in law!  To hear how he proposed click here or here.

SO cute! Congrats on the new clothes for cheap... that is always wonderful. Thanks for adding me again!
I saw your comment on my blog and I will GLADLY take your newborn. I will just turn it back over when it is sleeping through the night, and starts going crazy like my little guy.

I almost made a little trip to H&M on Friday. When were you there? Now I am bummed I didn't go. Sounds like some great deals!
Please have Bryan model his white suit! One of our friends was sporting one the other day (with a bright orange tie and hankie in the pocket) and I couldn't stop laughing. It actually looked so sharp, but it still cracked me up!
How exciting for Andrew!!! I still remember him as being 14! His wife to be is beyond darling and that RING is fantastic!
