CINCO DE DOGGO

Happy Cinco de Mayo from your favorite grrr-itos.

THE CHAINSMOKERS

I am not a big concert goer, but when 4 tickets pop up for you and your friends, I will go, sing, and dance. 

Grandtheft and Kiiara opened up the show for The Chainsmokers.

I will be honest and admit I don't know a lot of the songs by the Chainsmokers,

 but they sure do put on a good show onstage.

 The crowd was wowed with fire, graphics, confetti, and awesome lights.

They didn't let me down.

STORKS / BABY SHOWER

I was able to see a screening of the movie Storks. Storks is a Warner Bros. Pictures presentation that is going to be released in 2D and 3D in select theaters on 9/23/16.

Storks deliver babies…or at least they used to. They have moved on to delivering other goods, but the Baby Making Machine accidentally gets turned on and one last delivery needs to be made. The animated adventure features voices from well-known talent like Andy Samberg, Kelsey Grammer, Key & Peele, Danny Trejo, and Katie Crown. It is hilarious and you NEED to see it. Find out more about the movie on it's Facebook page. #Storks is Rated PG and will have the whole family laughing.

In spirit of this film hitting theaters this month, and my best friend being super pregnant, we have a baby shower planned. I discovered a cool baby shower kit that makes planning so easy.

 It is a cute box that comes with almost everything you need for hosting a shower like

thank you cards, 

 games, mommy advice card keepsakes/favors, place cards for seating,

and cute, easy to assemble decorations.

All you have to add is some food, a pregnant lady, and friends and family...and then wait for the stork to deliver the cute bundle of joy.

LANTERN FEST

What is the Lantern Fest? It is a an opportunity for thousands of cool people to join together to create an unforgettable display of light.

 Each attendee gets a kit with all the fixings for s'mores, tools to decorate your lantern, and an opportunity for great memories.

You can arrive early for an afternoon of live music, dancing, food trucks, kid's fun,

 and s'mores.

After the sun sets and the time is just right,

it is time to light the sky with lanterns.

The lanterns are supposed to represent our highest hopes, deepest regrets, and fondest dreams.

You are welcome to write on or decorate your lantern to represent those things.

Then after you light the lantern, 

you let it go and let it float away to the sky.

It is really a sight to behold.

 I have never experienced an event like this before, but I am sure this won't be the last time.

TODD & MICHELLE'S NH WEDDING

My cousin Todd married his cute, little lady friend last weekend at Flag Hill Winery. I love my family and couldn't pass up an opportunity to celebrate with them in New Hampshire.

The views at the winery were fabulous

 and the weather was perfect.

The venue did a great job setting things up and having them run smoothly.

 Cake pops were on point.

 Some of my cousins from California were there too.

The ceremony was short and sweet  

 and even had their dog included in the walk down the aisle.

 Congratulations, Todd and Michelle!

4TH of JULY in Los Angeles

I'm in L.A. with my Czech family right now which means I get to be in America for the 4th of July which happens to be my second favorite holiday. (Insert happy dance).

The backyard of the house we are staying in has a great view of the Hollywood hills.

I made sure to buy American flag clothing for everyone to wear.

We spent a fun day at the pool

with red, white, and balloon fun.

William is the new grill master and cooked up a yummy BBQ feast.

We ate and listened to some patriotic music.

Then around 8:30PM, fireworks started going off like crazy all across the valley.

I wish you could see the fireworks in this picture better. It was amazing. I have never seen so many firework displays going off at one time all throughout L.A.

We had a great view on top of Mulholland Drive.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!

ALISON'S HIP HOP HOORAY PARTY

Alison from The Alison Show throws super fun parties in Utah County. This one had a 90's hip-hop theme and was called Alison's Hip Hop Hooray. 

So I grabbed some gal pals, gold hoops/chains, some pretty tacky denim/street gear and we partied like it was 1990-something!

 All of Alison's parties include sweet photo opportunities, 

amazing swag,

tons of fun,

a throne of awesomeness,

plenty of Alison,

and some great booty shaking!

See you at the next party.

FINAL ROSE PARTY

I wasn't into The Bachelor this season, but then my friend Jessica invited me to attend a final rose episode watching party. So we binge watched Ben and his adventure to find love.

Last night was the party.

We made rose hats

Some of us are craftier than others.

We were asked if we would accept this rose.

We attended a cocktail party

 and enjoyed some sweets.

There was a fun Bachelor trivia game with all the ladies present.

 The party was hosted by super cute ladies who blog at The House That Lars Built.

Check them out and if you didn't receive a rose, please take a moment and say your goodbyes.

I was totally team Lauren B.
