Park City

On Saturday Brett and I went to Park City to stay the night at my parents timeshare, Westgate Resort.  It was so fun to get away just for the night and not have Lincoln with us.  That morning I drove to 72nd south in Salt Lake and met Claire so she could take Lincoln for the night.  Then I drove back home and told Brett that Lincoln was at my cousins house playing.  We got in the car to go "get" Lincoln and we drove to Park City.  Brett was excited but not totally surprised ha ha.  He thought that I had been acting really weird and knew that something weird was going on but was definitely surprised that we were staying the night too.  I was excited to take him up to Park City because he has been working so hard and under so much stress so it was nice to give him a much needed break.  We got up to Park City and went to the outlets and went to dinner at Bandits Grill, which was really yummy.  It was fun to not have Lincoln, but funny that we basically talked about how cute he is the whole time.

Back'n Up....

Lincoln is a funny little man.  

Yes, he does know how to get around but that usually only includes rolling or crawling backwards.  This morning he crawled backwards to the front door and then cried because he couldn't go backwards or roll over.

Love that boy.

1. My little mover man!

2. My cousin Hannah is pregnant!

3. Had a fabulous lunch today with Alaina, Andrea, and Deven.

Sleepless in Seattle...

Last Thursday I went on a fabulous adventure to Seattle to visit Holly and her fam with my mom and Lincoln. It was a picturesque vacation!!!  It was so wonderful to see where Holly will be living forever and get to see their darling home and Jansens awesome downtown office.

Lucy wrote this in preparation for us coming.  She is so darling and so smart!

 The girls were so cute with Lincoln and he adored them.

 We had a fun candlelit dinner all together and the girls are stirring their "tea".  Mia was so excited to sit at her little kids table.

 The first night there we went to Chinnooks, a fish restaurant on the water and had great fish and fish tacos.  After dinner Lucy said,

"It's just so frustrating when you go to a restaurant and the food is so yummy so you want to keep eating but then your tummy gets full and you can't eat anymore."  

I agree Lucy, it is frustrating. :)

 Love these two :)

 And LOVE this little family!!!

 On Saturday Jansen was kind enough to watch the girls and Lincoln for us so we could have a day out and shop!  We went to University Village and shopped for hours and enjoyed a great lunch at a mexican restaurant called Sonrisa.

 Our tacos were amazing!!!

 Love shopping with these gals!

 The building in the water is where we had dinner and behind that is Magnolia, where Holly lives.  It is such a beautiful place and her neighborhood is pretty dreamy.

 I loved going to Trader Joe's and getting lots of yummy food too!!  I took lots home in my bag :)

 The weather was a little chilly but absolutely beautiful!!  We loved going down to the water and watching the boats.

 So gorgeous!!!

 Lincoln loves his Aunt Holly!!

 And his Nana!!  

  We also went on a beautiful walk in Discovery Park.  The trails are so beautiful and looks right over the ocean and to a lighthouse. 

 Love my little nieces :) 

I'm so happy for Holly in their new spot and so happy I got to come visit with mom and Linc!

These girls love their Nana!!

1. Holly, Jansen, Lucy, and Mia.

2. Great vacation with my girls.

3. Trader Joes :)

Annual Witches Gathering

This year we enjoyed the second annual gathering of my witchy friends and it was such a blast!!  Kylee hosted again at her darling house in Layton and miraculously all my best girlies were there (Minus sister Nicole).  

 The food was fabulous!!   All my girlfriends are so creative and brought the most scrumptious and decorative food fit for witches!

 We played lots of games and laughed way too hard.

Love you all!!!

1. Fabulous girlfriends!

2. Caroline had her second baby!

Chocolate Cake

Claire and I went to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch.

Lincoln had some of Claire's chocolate cake, as in chocolate for the first time in his sweet little life.

I think at this moment he was thinking, "Wait, what??  What is this chocolately savory sweetness that is in my mouth right now?  It tastes really, REALLY good.  Why have my parents been keeping this from me??  I really like it.  Grandma Claire, can I please have more??"

What a cutie.

Giggles...

This morning I came home and heard laughing through the door and this is what I found inside.

Seriously, I love Brett so much.  He is the best.

1. Giggling Lincoln.

2. Wonderful Saturday at home.

3. Brett, my amazing husband.

Hee Haw

Last night Brett and I had a fabulous date night.  We left Linc with one of my friends and went out on the town.  First we went to dinner at Milagros in Orem.  We heard about it through an article in the paper that said that Bronco recommended it, and it was seriously yummy!!  I am so happy to have finally found a fabulous mexican food restaurant down here.  

 After dinner we went to Hee Haw Farms in Pleasant Grove.  I bought a groupon for it a few weeks ago and it was a great deal. 

 First we went through the "pirate ship" design corn maze.  Yes, we got lost quite a few times and saw sign number 10 too many times, but we finally made it out thanks to Brett's navigation skills (don't let the picture deceive...).

 We couldn't resist these awesome photo opportunities...

 My husband is hot :)

 Me and the farm...

 After the corn maze we went to the "Cornevil Terror House".  It was seriously scary!!  I usually don't get that scared from haunted houses but it was SO good!!  We screamed the entire way through, along with me holding on to dear life on Brett.  The rats, snakes, river monsters, clowns, monsters, psychos, mental patients, and more were absolutely terrifying.  I recommend it :)

Our groupon also included 2 pumpkins, which we painted today.  It was such a great date night!
