A Perfect Day!

Birthday Lunch with "The Real Housewives of Davis County"
or so our water bottles say!

My 43rd Birthday was a perfect day.  It was my regular Thursday bowling day, after bowling we met up for a delicious lunch at Bostons.  Most of us are still on our biggest looser diet and it was "all whole grains week".  Luckily we were able to order whole wheat pizza and it was so yummy!

After lunch we went to a great chic flick movie, "The Dilemma".  I loved spending the day with my wonderful friends, my darling mom and sweetheart daughter Abbie. 

That evening Dean had the perfect night planned.  We went to Sego Lily Day spa and for a couple hours we were totally pampered.  We loved the side by side couples massage.  We then went to Corbin's for dinner.  It was a special night spent with the one I love most!

Ryker's Girl!

Ryker doesn't need a girlfriend....this is the only girl that has his heart!

A Little Get Away

Soup Kitchen....Kasen's favorite place to eat!

Still had to study, had two tests the day we got back!

 

Dixie Bowl
Awesome old fashion bowling Alley

I'm in a biggest looser contest with all our friends so this is pretty much what I had to eat the whole trip!

This is what I wanted to be eating!!!

Snow Canyon Hike......beautiful!

My hiking wound

Why does he pull away?

We finally got down to Dixie to see Demi.  It was the perfect get away!

Abbie had two days off from clinical so we left Wednesday after her last class.

Kasen was off track so he came along and we all had a great time.  We went right to Demi's apartment and visited with her room mates.  We pretty much spent four days just relaxing.  We went bowling, saw two movies, ate yummy food (well Demi & Kasen) Abbie and I were dieting.  We hiked, walked, shopped and laid by the pool.  Funny how 57 degrees feels amazing when you come from 17 degrees!

Demi is now working at Cracker Barrel so she spent what time she could with us.  I love St. George... I can't wait to go back, hopefully SOON!

Happy New Year!!

Goodbye 2010!

We enjoy a great night with friends for New Years Eve.

We had a progressive dinner beginning at the Larsen's, then going to the Vest's

and ending at the Jardine's where we met up with the kids and this delicious treat pictured above!!!

Welcome 2011......here is hoping it is filled with health, happiness and joy!

The Birdhouse

My friend Sandi is a collector of birdhouses.  Not just your ordinary craft store birdhouses, but very cool looking ones she puts throughout her beautiful yard.  For Christmas she gave me this awesome birdhouse.  She told me to think of her each time I look out at it.  I love where Dean hung it.....I can see it from my kitchen, family room and bedroom window's.  It is such a fun gift that makes me think of my friend.  I can't wait until spring when a bird makes it a home.

We had a wonderful Christmas full of family fun.  Demi was home from Dixie, Jared came in from

Chicago and we had the best time!  We are so blessed with wonderful family and friends.  We are grateful for this wonderful time of year celebrating the birth of our Savior.
