Due to the fact of knee surgery, lack of working out, being married, etc...I have gained a lot of weight the last year. I've been doing some pondering on how to make my attempt to be more fit would be the most effective for me....I've decided to start a weight loss blog and my 100 days to a healthier me! If anyone who reads this blog (don't know how many do) would like an invite, facebook me or email me at k.walker05@hotmail.com and I will let you in on the workouts, healthier eating and weigh ins (yikes!).

Thanks and wish me luck!

{It's been almost 2 months}

So it’s been almost 2 months since I have blogged! I promised myself that I would be getting better at it but I have once again failed. Oh well!! Off to a fresh start.
We haven’t had much going on in our lives even though I constantly feel like we are busy!! September and October consisted of going to work and school and on the weekends going to Real Salt Lake games! We love going to them, Real has been doing really well this season and we are hoping they will be in the MLS cup again!!

School has been going well for both of us, we just ended fall break a couple weeks ago and although it wasn’t fun coming back to 3 midterms…. The break was much needed. Sleeping in is always a favorite thing with us Walkers!

At the beginning of October, Pierce had to run lacrosse try-outs for his girls’ high school team he will be now coaching. It was a tough week preparing and it really stressed Pierce out but all-in-all Pierce is really excited about all the talent on his Varsity team!! We will be starting conditioning in January…BRRR!

This last week was Pierce’s dad’s, Jeff, Birthday! We’ve been planning for months a surprise party with some of his close friends. We had to conjure up story after story, lie after lie, but it was ALL worth it! He had no idea and it was great to have Chelsea, Ava, Melisa, Locke and Cade come from Michigan and Washington for the event!

Friday night before the party, Cade and Melisa drove in with my little nephew Locke. The plan was to go up to Park City to stay with my dad so that we could stay under cover…But before we could do that, we HAD to go to my sister’s State Cup game for High School Soccer! They ended up winning 1-0 in DOUBLE overtime. I was a ball of nervous the whole game but the Bengals pulled it off. I think even Cade and Mel enjoyed themselves. Although my sister didn’t play because she has recently hurt her ankle, it is healing and she will be able to play club season coming up!


After the game we went up to Park City and ate pizza and watched a movie with my dad. It was great to see him and spend some time with him! We love staying in Park City and will have to try and visit him more often!


Saturday morning, we packed up our over-night stuff and headed to the Tanger Outlet Mall….we walked around until it started pouring and then Pierce and I headed back down to Sandy with Cade and Mel shortly behind us.


When we got back into Sandy, we did a crazy thing! So as you all know, we love our puppy Jack. One day, Jack came up to us and explained how BORED he was at home by himself some days and that he really NEEDED a friend. We kept ignoring him until we met this little lady:



Izzy! we got her from the same breeder as Jack and She is actually Jack’s sister! Both born May 3rd! We love little Izzy and it’s been so much fun having Jack run around with his little sister. She is white with light brown around the eyes and tail. She desperately needs a haircut so I will post pictures when she gets one!

I bought Izzy and Jack little matching sweatshirts in blue and pink. And we got Izzy a cute little pink collar with diamonds. Needless to say these puppies are spoiled!

Saturday night we headed down to the Lion House and set up for the party! The centerpieces looked amazing thanks to Melisa. Chase and Helen put together a slideshow and Chelsea’s hard work was through the secret invitations! The party was a hit and we filled all the tables :)

Here are a few pictures of the party:


Here is the programs that I did for the party, pretty snazzy if I do say so myself!


And my husband did a fabulous job as the "MC" for the night!


Sunday night we had Birthday dinner at Pierce’s parents’ house for Jeff. Gram and Pop (Jeff’s Parents) Aunt Michelle, Uncle Jory and Pierce’s cousins/friends Corbin and Nate all came as well! It was going to be a perfect evening UNTIL the lights went out at the house right before we were going to start eating! Needless to say, dinner by candle-light was a pretty fun way to have a 50th birthday celebration and I think Jeff got some great gifts!

Monday night, we had the annual Walker Pumpkin Carving Competition at Jeff and Liz’s house. The competition was fierce and tough but hey, I got 3rd place! (Thanks Travis!) Pierce did the Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas and totally shaved the pumpkin so it looked white like Jack does. It was awesome!! I did witch’s legs and added ribbon and glitter (Thanks Mel!). Mine didn’t light up but I am really happy with it!







Hope everyone has a great week!

{Things I am LOVING this week...}

In no particular order…

1. Lee Dwyze – I am hoping he will just crush Crystal into pieces mwahhhahah…ok well I do really hope he wins the whole thing…he has swagger like none other!


2. Corner Bakery at Fashion Place—this place is A...M…A...Z...I...N...G! From the salads to the soups to the lemon bars to the chocolate bundt cakes to the bread sticks. I could eat there everyday of my life!


3. Giovanna Lou-- greatest website ever, her photography is breath taking and I love love love the headbands that she puts on the little girls! Very creative!

4. Lily Puff Designs—look at how cute my new blog background is! The hard part was choosing which background to pick, can blogs be like underwear and you change it everyday?

5. Anthropology—surprise surprise that they are on my list… they are on my “what I am loving this LIFETIME list”.. I think anything from there is just super groovy!



6. This new dress from Shabby Apple, I am in LOVE with this website mainly because all of their clothes are modest! And since I will be sporting G’s pretty soon I really appreciate any website that promotes Modesty! (Garments for you who didn’t figure that out haha)


7. These steller cool sandals from Nordstrom, I just love them for some reason and I might be buying them soon for my birf-day!


8. And lastly, Lime Ricki Swimwear—mainly just because I am thinking Mexico for the honeymoon—woo hoo!
