SHOWER POWER

Let the wedding shower season begin. Saturday, Rachel and I threw a bridal shower for Kami in Salt Lake. I will start with the most risque pictures first (you have been warned).

When I was shopping for first night necessities for Kami, Clayton found this house coat that he thought would be the "perfect" lingerie. It does look more comfortable.
Kathryn (Erik's sister) gave Kami this naughty negligee. That will get them going. Personally I think it would look very sexy under the housecoat.
...Still thinking the housecoat looks more comfortable.
Amanda "you are the best Mary Kay lady ever" and Kami.
The three sisters. Nope, none of us have the same hair color. For a million bucks...can you guess whose hair color is natural?
Candy (shout out to my sister from another tribe), Trixie and Stephanie. Sweet plate. Can I have one?

Things I learned about my future bro in-law from this shower

1. Erik will be doing all the cooking, cleaning, laundry and yard work. Oh and he will be giving daily massages as well. Wishful thinking on the DAILY part Kami.

2. Erik was once in line to be prophet, then when he was 14 he did something (can't remember what) mean, but now he is back in line again I think.

3. Erik is the owner of a pair of Uncle Jesse (from Full House) boots. Saweet. Maybe Kami can wear them with her housecoat. Say it with me people, "S-E-X-Y."

At 7pm we had another shower in Kearns put on by Erik's family. However, between the showers Clayton and I went to view the Bat on IMAX. At IMAX you get to choose where you sit when you order. I had thought that I had ordered us 2 seats on the back row. This was not the case. Apparently, I had got us 2 seats on the FRONT row. Talk about your neck kinker. I have used my "mad" paint skills to make a drawing to show you how we sat during the entire 2.5 hours.


As you can see from this art piece in order to see the movie semi comfortably (semi I use loosely) we had our heads on the bottom of the seat, our butts hanging off of the seats and our feet on the railing. Not your most comfortable of positions. Clayton was good and didn't complain while I moaned and groaned during the entire movie. One other major downfall of the movie before I give my review. I was told that a preview of "Twilight" was shown before the movie. Oh No! Not in the IMAX theatre. They only show previews of movies that will be shown on the IMAX screens. Discrimination at its finest.

So I actually really enjoyed this movie. Heath Ledger did an incredible job. The way he walked, talked and even the little mannerisms of the Joker were unforgettable. The thing that I liked about the movie the best (POTENTIAL SPOILER ALERT) was that it didn't end in typical "hero saves girl, hero is loved" fashion. The ending was not predictable in my book at all. In all movie was very good and I think Clayton cried.

Next up shower #2 in Kearns. It was fun to meet Erik's family. They are all so nice, incredibly cool and it was good to finally meet them.

So fun! I was bummed that I couldn't make it, to either shower. (I promise you I am not a slacker sister =)) I really am so excited to get to meet you all. Once again, I hope you don't mind- but I look at your blog, often, and you are hilarious! I always laugh out loud.

AND THE WINNER OF THE ONE MILLION DOLLAR NATURAL HAIR CONTEST IS... ME! I'm sure I know which sister has their natural hair color in the picture, but don't worry, I won't ruin it for the others, I just get the cash! Your artistic ability overwhelms me Heidi. Good job! Thanks for showing me the lingerie Kami got at her shower. I really needed to see that. xoxoxox

Kathrin Paul said...

Oh, Heidi. First of all, when you said you'd have given me an underdog on the swing on my blog, I laughed so hard. I would have appreciated it. Second, I think you learned a great deal about Erik, and all very important things, might I add. That was so fun to meet you guys, at both showers, and I'm so glad that Erik has such fun in-laws! Bridals on saturday will be so killer! I'm excited to eat a shake with you.

Kari said...

I really enjoyed your paint skillzzzz.

Rachel said...

Glad that weekend is over, only a few more to go.
natural hair........what's that?

Good job with the painting skills, you should make a career out of it!

Kathrin Paul said...

I feel good about this new development. I have added you as well! We're officially friends!

The Robbins said...

I am the million dollar winner I guess. Rachel must be a natural blond. Kami has been dying and highlighting ever since I've known her, and you apparently are a natural brown but die it black, hence the roots and looking for a hair dresser in another blog...:)

Candy said...

First and foremost, I love the picture. Did Kami teach you how to draw? -she draws all day now that she doesn't have access to blogs. (Thank you me) Second.... what the H was I doing in that lovely picture? Are you one who believes in pictures exposing inner character?.... good. Because if that were true I would be a very dark individual. As for a replica of the painted peice of cement, I will see what my Native American skills can throw down. I am glad you like it!

I can't believe Kami is getting married!!! FUN!!! Since she doesn't have a blog, tell her congrats for me, that's really cool.

And second, I want to take a stab at the cash when I say, NOT A ONE of you has natural hair colors.... I doubt many people do these days.
