sista sista

If there's anything I love leaving work early for it's to spend time with my favorite gals!  It was my sister Michelle's birthday last week so of course the girls in my family all had to celebrate.  My mom and sisters have made it a tradition to go to Cafe Trelis and to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point every year and this is the first year that I could finally join them!  I skipped work early for a "mental health day" and boy was it worth it.  I'd never been to Cafe Trelis before and now I can't wait to go back!  There club sandwich and sweet potato fries are seriously to die for (oh no, I'm sounding just like my mom who over uses that line. But I really mean it when I say it about that blessed sandwich!).  After lunch we rented a golf cart and drove all around the gardens getting our "model" on taking pictures at every stop.  We were being seriously goofy and acting like children but we didn't care what anyone thought.  It was great. Really, really great.

Sister #1, #2, and #3 (not sure why we decided to put our fingers up like that...)

My mama was loving the tulips and had to get a close up...I think this is the only picture we got where we were actually cooperating instead of acting like children

Of course we had to end the day with Lindy rolling down the hill like a child....haha

Spring Breakyyy

I had such a grrreat spring break!!  I had an entire week off of work and did all of the following:

• Played in St. George and Vegas with the B-hams where we went hiking, searched some underground caves (where I hit my head on sharp rocks a thousand times), went hot tubing, went shooting and shot my first shot gun (I also made the realization that I hate guns.  They are far too powerful for my tiny body to handle...I think Steve was a little disappointed in his wussy wife.), walked the Vegas strip, shopped, and of course, we ended the trip going swimming at Mandalay Bay's beach resort which we should have been doing the entire trip!  The wave pool and lazy river made a perfect ending to a fun weekend getaway!  
• Hung out with my mom and sisters during the week and got a little jealous of their stay-at-home-mom lifestyle.  
• Did laundry and cleaned my house of course...
• Did yard work in the beeeeuuuuaaatiful sunshine!  I LOVE this time of year!
• Hung out with my most favoritist doggy Benj.  He was lovin havin his mama home all week!
• I hosted a shower for my friend, Jess, who's having a baby boy next month. It was so fun to reunite with my high school peeps.
• We ended the wonderful week at the cabin in Bear Lake with the Miller clan.  It was pretty good weather and so fun to just hang out up there.  Oliver is at such a cute age and is so fun to play with!
