What we have been up to...

We have been out in Utah for almost 2 weeks. I can't believe how fast it has gone by. Rachel (my sister) has gone back to work to finish teaching the school year. I have had the privilege of watching my little niece, Mabel. She is such a good baby. I has been so much fun to hold a newborn. We have just visited with a few friends and our family since we have been here. We are going to be staying here at least another 4 weeks. Adam and I are going to Spain together in June. My sister is going to watch my kids, I hope she survives! Anyway, here are a few photos of what we have been up to. I need to be better about taking more.
Our friends the McOmbers who we know from PA, have moved out to CA and are visiting their fam in UT. It was so nice to see them. Elle and Annie have been best buds since they were 5 months old. They love each other so much. The top pic is of Annie and her new little brother, Will who is about 5 months. You can tell they are related. I am so glad we were able to see them. 

This is Ava feeding Mabel. The girls some times get jealous of the attention that Mabel needs, so I try to let them participate so we don't have too many fits during the day. 

Ava was checking to see how much Mabel had drunk. She kept saying "Oh Mom, she drank another 12 pounds..." It was cute that Ava was pretending to know what she was talking about. 

Call me crazy, but I brought my dog too. Adam works a lot and travels a lot too. It was cheaper to bring her than to have to pay for boarding every time we needed it. Rachel has a Westie too. Most of the time they play like this, but when it comes to food. All bets are off. They will fight to the death for Ava's ham or whatever she is eating. Poor Ava always has 2 dogs following her around waiting for her to drop her food, or take it when she is not looking.

Just cute pics of the Girls






I has been really nice here and everything is in bloom. Here are just a few photos of the girls enjoying Spring.

My new haircut

What I wanted and what I got...
I love the lady who cut my hair. I think she is really good and she is cheap. But my hair isn't exactly the same. I knew I wouldn't be, but ya know, you always hope. I think I might need some highlights and I definitly need to use more product. I hate product, but I should use more of it. I think it is cute anyway. Adam hasn't really said much, but that is typical of him. What do you think?


I took a 110 pics on my own that this is the best I could get:)

Longwood Gardens






I know that I have already posted a previous trip to Longwood, but this is mostly for my Mom. Longwood Gardens is one of her favorite places. We went one day to see their new tree houses. As always, it was beautiful and refreshing to see the beautiful scenery.
