Lovin the Weather!

It has been so abnormally nice the past few weeks that we decided to take advantage of the warm weather and head to the pond. We took the double stroller for Navi and Dax and brought Mason and Griffins bikes and went around the loop a few times before parking it on the blanket and enjoying the sun (and a little root beer!) It was such a fun and relaxing way to spend a Sunday morning . . . I'm not sure why we don't do it more often!








Girls Trip - number 2!

A few weeks ago I got to go to Park City with my Mom, SIL, and Sisters for our 2nd annual girls trip! It was so much fun and much needed! We started off be hitting a few shops and the outlet and then heading over to main street for some pizza at Red Banjo. It was delish and we ate a ton! ( Which is allowed when on vacation . . . right?)


After dinner we headed to our hotel . . . which I might add was AWESOME! We stayed at the Escala Lodge at the Canyons in a huge sweet!. It really could have been a house. It was beautiful. And did I mention HUGE? Anna colored my hair (which I love) and then we stayed up late chatting, doing face masks, and laughing.
The next morning we slept in, had breakfast, and then headed to the outlets for a full day of shopping. Here we are in front of our Hotel.
We definitely know how to do some damage (and find a few deals along the way.)
We ended our trip with dinner at a cute little restaurant called Good Thymes. The food was fabulous. I'm thinking part of it might have been that after a full day of shopping without lunch, we were starving! This is such a fun tradition that we have started and I am already looking forward to next year!

Pickin Pumpkins

Every year we grow a pretty big pumpkin patch and end up with tons and tons of pumpkins. The kids love every part of it. From planting the seeds, to noticing the first green pumpkin, to watching them get bigger and bigger and eventually turn orange, to finally being able to pick them!



Mandee (my bff from high school) happened to be staying with us this weekend and got to join in on the fun!
