Bad Hair Day

Silence from a toddler is not usually a good thing unless they are sleeping. This is what I found with Isabel's silence. Isabel washing her hair with handsoap in the guest bathroom. At least it wasn't something worse like baby oil!

Brighton & Snowboarding

We finally made it this year! I've been wanting to go skiing/snowboarding for the last two seasons and never made it. Some friends convinced Shane to try snowboarding and so of course I couldn't be the only one in skiis. We all tried snowboarding this time; even Lex. He loved it! After 5+ hours, he was sad we had to leave. We had him take an afternoon lesson and he has already learned so much. Those kids are sponges!!!


Don't let this standing pic deceive you. I was on my rear-end more than I was on my feet! Getting off that lift was the hardest part for me, but eventually I was able to glide away without crashing. Even one of the ski instructors gave me a high five as I went by!


It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day at Brighton. The weather couldn't have been more perfect for us.


I hope to go at least a few more times this season. We'll see.

And why the Zhu Zhu pet was worth the hassle. (Yes, she is kissing the box!)

Gingerbread Houses Sugar-Free Style

Lowe's does this awesome workshop for kids every other week and this one was for a wooden Gingerbread house to make and decorate with sugar-free stickers :) That's my kind of Gingerbread house! The kids had fun and Lex is getting really good at these workshops. He was able to build this one all on his own!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

This year we spent the afternoon at Amy & Dan's new home to enjoy a very filling and delicious feast.



About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
