life lately

i recently went to the dentist. at my visit they always give me a new toothbrush.
they usually ask me if i want a specific color. this time they didn't.
i ended up having the same color as gordon.
what use to be such a mindless daily activity isn't that way so much.
and now there's a running morning joke that i used your toothbrush...
which won't be so funny when one of us actually uses the other persons toothbrush...
i have danced with gordon once in all 10+ years of knowing him...
little miss asks him to dance and all of the sudden he's prince charming.
literally, he was her prince as she pretended to be all of the disney princesses.
it was adorable. i love how much he loves the littles in our life.
i usually always travel with our dogs by securing them in their dog kennels.
but i had to pick them up from their hair appointment and realized i didn't have their kennels with me.
abbi loved it!  she the worst kind of back seat driver.
MK HAD HER BABY!! We were so excited to meet little K.
she's perfect. her and her mama are doing so well.
we don't want them to move away for law school.
the mister got a new fancy schmancy mountain.
i'm sure he would have preferred to ride a mountain trail, but those narrow trails scare me a bit so we stuck to the dirt road that runs along the mountain side.  
i just love him.
annual hardcastle easter egg dying contest.
little miss and i made best friends eggs with lots of glitter and sparkles.
it was awesome.
our new across the street neighbors invited us to join them for a double date.
we haven't been on an official double date in what felt like forever.
they invited us to go to an arcade and dinner.
we had a really good time and it was fun to get to know them better.
we live next to some really fantastic people.
our neighborhood is pretty great.

life lately...

most mornings, this is how abbi looks as i'm headed off to work.
i am always extremely jealous of her lazy days.


after 6 years of looking, we finally bought a new couch!


skyler turned 19!

our friend jr. bought a flip-pac.  i think we started a club: slow car, fast home.
the cute neighbor kids showing us their new toys: cap gun and wooden sword.

MK got the fanciest car seat and we spent an afternoon trying it in each of our cars.
i now want one.


jade turned 16!


gordon wanted a cute photo with tim...i think he got it!


saw ryan hamilton with my dad, sister, and other family and friends.
he is HILARIOUS!


attended the temple with gordon's sisters, parents, and grandma.
we were able to seal even more of gordon's family together forever.
it was awesome!


i know i've told you how awesome our neighborhood is, but have i ever told you about our ward?
our ward is pretty fantastic, too.
i needed a melchizedek priesthood holder to play the role of king benjamin for my primary lesson.
gordon had just been the guest speaker the week before so he wasn't an option.
a new member named jake to the rescue!
he did amazing and the kids loved it.
i love teaching primary!




while gordon's sister was in town from california we had family photos taken.
we took this one ourselves...thanks justin!


cousin concert in the city!

met this girl who had the matching shirt to my pants...and her name is also Jessica!



uncle gordon playing telephone with tiny (we miss her when they go back home to cali...)

that one time when the waffle truck came to ogden so i got a couple of waffles to go and had a weekday date with my mister.

march madness at work...this is my new office roommate dressed up like moose. 
she's a good time.



and briggs turned 13!! birthday dinners for all in our house.

and we saw the funniest movie that i have seen a very long time.  anything with most of the cast from flight of conchords is bound to be amazing.

life lately

started the new year right with mom and daughter massages.


attended my first ogden rad ladies potluck.  
loved meeting some new amazing local ladies.


got together with my college besties


once a year we get to go bowling as part of our work day.
it's mixed in with a day full of meetings but it's one of the best hours of the work year.


tried out SUP yoga indoors...and decided I prefer the real thing

surprise birthday dinner for my sister!  she thought we were just going to our regular wednesday night yoga class...fooled her!  she was very surprised.  love her to pieces.


had some of our old neighbors over for a little get together at our house...
i love seeing our families grow and the kids becoming friends!


celebrated my girl, Madison's, upcoming baby girl with mani/pedis and delicious food in SLC.








attend my second ogden rad ladies potlock...i'm totally a rad lady now.


attended a birth parent panel in provo and met up with my cousin Mat who's studying at the Y for dinner afterwards.  Provo has some dang good restaurants...and that's about it.




showered Madison and baby Kate with a work baby shower.


attended a facial party and fell in love with the skin care line Hippie Skin.
it's local (made right in Ogden) and all natural.  
it's amazing!!




gordon and i received the best valentines from little miss and big H


and then valentine's happened...
and we actually did stuff on valentine's day instead of the week before or something.


we attended the banff mountain film festival and it was freaking amazing.
a new yearly tradition for sure.
oh, and we want to go to banff one day.
