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.

sundance film festival 2015

another year of the sundace film festival fun!
we had such a great time last year, we decided to head up to park city again this year.
we had our new friend, mikaela aka indie ogden, join us.
we coined ourselves the sundance triplets because people kept asking us if we were all sisters.
we went to a lot more events and got a lot more swag.
we saw more movies than normal with sundance newbies.
and had an overall great time.

travel diary: bluff international hot air balloon festival











































































our niece is cuter than yours.

view from our bed in our camper



























and cooler than yours.



























we loved the hot air balloon festival so much last year we decided to adventure down there again this year but this time we went with family and friends instead of complete strangers.
we explored new Anasazi Indian ruins like house on fire and 16 room ruin.
and had the best campsite for the valley of the gods sunrise balloon flying.
all and all it was an amazing trip!
