{Easter in St George}


For Easter weekend we went with Mikey's side of the family to St George!


The Boys didn't think we were that entertaining on our way down...
So at our stop in Beaver they decided to climb in with Kenny's kids
and join their party! 


We were so excited to be able to stay in such a beautiful home where we could all be together under one roof and enjoy its 10 bedrooms, 2 swimming pools, hot tub, game room, sand volleyball, and MORE!


So of course first thing on our agenda was swimming, swimming, swimming!!






We even loved night swimming with Grandma Sue's "Farolitos" paper lanterns


Every night after dinner we would put on a show, and find most the kids had crashed from their full day of cousin fun! 


Easter morning the kids woke up to find that the Easter Bunny had left his tracks and a note...



Everyone loved search through the big house to find their baskets




Before we went off the church we took some family pics in our Easter best!




When we got back from church the kids ran into see that the Easter Bunny had left another note...


and off on their Easter Egg hunt they went!



After a yummy dinner with extended fam we all enjoyed popsicles poolside and in the pool!



One of our favorite parts of the weekend was watching Uncle D toss the kids in the tube across the pool! It was way better then any water park ride and Jude definitely had fun being thrown the farthest! 


Oh how I love these cute cousins and seeing them together this weekend!


 You've really never seen 9 cousins that play so good together!! These kiddos are the best friends and loved having glow stick parties, spending hours in the pool, and hanging out in the game room!


Wishing we could've stayed forever! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Sue! Xoxo

{April Fun}


We had such a great time getting out with Ryd and Ellie
and going to up to Bridal Veil Falls


This winter a avalanche actually came down and wiped out the bridge at the
bottom of the falls. It was all still frozen so we climbed over it and were still able to enjoy the water!


It was such a great afternoon, thanks Grandma Sue and Sky!

Look at these two handsome boys...


Fresh haircuts and ice cream!
I always look forward to our haircuts dates to Cookie Cutters
and getting an ice cream cone at Chick Fli A!!
Love them!

but my boys have mastered the art of the selfie!

{Ski Day}


For Christmas this year my parents gave us ski passes to Sundance. We had been waiting to use them till it was a little warmer (so we could take the boys since they are still free) and Mikey had a break in school. So this week being his spring break it was perfect. My mom kept the boys that morning so Mikey and I could spend half a day together then she brought them up to do the other half. It couldn't of been a more pretty day!


Okay, I had to post the selfie pic because it was the last pic i took before I lost my phone on the mountain!! I was texting Mikey who had left something at home and ran back to get it, when my lift stop came up and so I hurried and put my phone in my pocket and thought I'll just zip it when I get off... I totally got distracted and never zipped it. I didn't even notice is was gone until I finished my run. Luckily when my smart hubby got back he thought to track it and we were able to find it... unbroken under the lift! Kinda a bummer we spent most the morning looking for my phone, but I still loved being with him!


When my mom dropped the boys off they were ready to go, go, go!


This was Ashton's second season. He loves skiing and I loved seeing this boy in his element. I can't believe how good and fearless Ashton is on the slopes. He took every run and never hesitated for a second. I would even be nervous for a sec looking down a hill and he would fly by me!!

This was Jude's first time skiing! The boy has dreamed of this day for a year and has talked about it since the first snow storm this season. When I was putting away the christmas decor this year he was so worried that meant winter was over and he couldn't go skiing. Well, finally yesterday was his day! The first thing he said when he got off the lift was "I wanna go by myself" and he did for some of it! It was so fun to be able to ski with my little man for his first time! That is for sure something i'll never forget.


Ashton had the gopro on his helmet and it was so funny to hear what he was saying "The faster you go the funner it is... THIS IS AWESOME!... Body don't fail me now" haha!




I loved spending time on the mountain with these three ski bums!

{Chris Turns 30} Vintage Golf Party!



This weekend I helped my sister Holly throw a surprise 30th birthday party for her golf loving husband! We loved the idea of having everyone dress up in old time vintage golf outfits, so we rolled with the idea of a vintage inspired golf party!
...
Golf Cart Cake

Centerpieces

Main Food Table... 


Dessert table... and we made a
timeline banner with pictures of him from age 1-30!

Back Nine beverage bar with Putter Punch and a Water Hazard

 Party Time!!


We had a table with vintage accessories so people could add to their outfits

Some of the fun vintage golfers
{Mom in her cute pink and lace spectator outfit won best dressed!}

We had a mini golf course set up and had a leader-board to track the winner



{Dad was the winner with a 1-1-2}


"Chris has done a lot in 30 years, lets see how much you can do in 30 seconds!"
We played 6, half minute to win it games, but our by far favorite one we had the birthday boy do... They tied tissue boxes full of marshmallows around their waists and had to shake their backends until all the marshmallow were out!
It was historical!!


Lastly we finished with everyone sharing memories of Chris from the past 30 years!!


Happy, Happy 30th Birthday Chris! We love you and are so glad we got to celebrate you!!
