The Big Apple




We just returned from an amazing girls trip to New York City. Coming home is full of bitter sweet feelings because it was soooo hard to be away from my sweet baby and husband, but at the same time we were having a blast there! Our trip consisted of Shopping, Sight Seeing, Eating AMAZING food, shopping, bike riding through Central Park, visiting the Today show, and...oh yes... more shopping! We did go see the broadway show Wicked on Saturday. That show was the best I have ever seen, I absolutely loved it! New York is an incredible place, I love the constant buzz of the city, but it was very refreshing to come home to some peace and quiet. We were going, going, going all day from eight till one in the morning every day, so it will be nice to rest and recoupe. I had a blast with my mom, sis and sis n law, and am so grateful to my mom for taking us! I will always remember our trip, It was such a refreshing break from momhood. I was, however, excited to come home and play mom and wife again! I am so lucky to have a husband that took such great care of my little guy while I was gone, they had a really good weekend together. I had a wonderful trip, made some great memories, and can't wait to go back!

Weekend Getaway

The Popsicle! mmmmm
Lets just start by saying I think my husband is trying to kill me with all the crazy hikes he is taking me on! I consider myself an outdoors person, but not on an extreme scale by any means! We just got home from an amazing weekend in St. George. We did so many fun things the first of which was hiking angels landing. This hike was beautiful and incredible, but a little scary at times because the last half mile is sheer cliffs straight down and you are climbing up a mountain holding on to chains. It was totally worth getting over any fear of heights I might have had once I reached the top. To look out over Zions that high up was absolutly incredible. The rest of the trip was spent playing outside, lots of swimming, lots of BBQ's, and spending wonderful time as a family. We all came home with good memories and sun tan lines!
