Painting Pottery

For my niece's 6th birthday in December, I told her I would take her, her sister, her mom and my friend Melody for an afternoon of painting pottery. I'm not an artistic person, although I wish I was! We had fun painting the little figurines and bowls and then enjoyed cupcakes and presents!
Lila painted a kitty bank, Bella painted a fairy, my sis in law painted a little sheep, Melody painted a little dish and I painted a little giraffe.
I always cherish the time with my nieces and sister in law and wish we lived closer so we could do more things together.

Happy Birthday Lila!

Weekend Getaway

Utah or Bust!

After many ~~weeks~~ months of stress at both of our jobs we decided to take a couple days off and at the last minute head to Moab, UT. We even took the dogs with us, finding a website (www.bringfido.com) that tells of pet friendly hotels.

We are always thinking about our little guy. We are waiting for you!

Utah or Bust!

We had an awesome time. I think one of the things that made this so fun was that it was totally unplanned (which is not like me-I'm a total planner!). We just went and did what we wanted when we wanted. The only bad thing about the trip was that it was too short. But we plan on heading back to Moab next year when it is warmer for some fun four wheeling.
