Aspen~ take two

Once again, Nic and I had the opportunity to visit Aspen through his work. It was a whole lotta fancy food, beautiful scenery, and quality time with my baby. Much needed.The weather amazing! Which didn't bode well for the ski conditions, but still a good time. We hit up one of our favorite mexican restaurants, stuffed ourselves, and hit the slopes!
Got feeling a little ca-raaazy and hit up a late night showing of The Hunger Games. Oh, my goodness! Loved love love...
We lounged by the pool, ran through town, napped, ate obscene amounts of Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory chocolate {what is my problem?}, and just plain soaked it up.
I tried to keep this getaway simple. Didn't even take my big camera, and just snapped a few pics with my phone. Man oh man, do I love that little ski town~
Pretty chill, but pretty amazing. I feel spoiled, and am so grateful for our sweet parents for all of their help with the kiddos { I think they had as much fun as we did;)}

sunny getaway~

So a few weeks ago we headed down to sunny St.George for some r&r. It was a whole lotta good food, good company, and good fun!
We flew kites, swam in the pool, and went exploring Snow Canyon.
Oh, that red rock... get's me every time!Haven't you heard? Socks and sandals are all the rage right now. He insisted;)
Some serious exploring going on here~
Our kids are monkeys! They will climb on anything...
My sweet sister and her family~
Nothing beats popsicles by the pool:)
After a couple days with my family, we loaded up {pup and all} and headed off to stay with Gramy and Papa for a couple more days...
Which meant more swimming, more good company, and of course, more. food!
One afternoon we headed for the St.George airport to see the Blue Angels in action. Besides the massive wind/sand storm that shooed us all out of there in a hurry, it was a fabulous time!
Love my sweet fam, and these fun memories we are able to share.
I am so grateful for our families, and the closeness we share.
Always good times when we are together!

some easter goodness~

Can you believe Easter is right around the corner!?
With my kiddos out of school all week for spring break, I thought we could give a few of these fun ideas from my Easter pinboard a whirl~
Are these bunny shaped orange-rolls the sweetest?I think yes!
Well the sun is shining, the sky is blue, and I think it's high time for a picnic!
Enjoy today, you won't ever get it back:)
