ZION National Park Mini Christmas!!!

Mini Christmas is what we call when we all get together, because it's so fun, it's like Christmas! This mini-Christmas we got an awesome deal through "living social" for these ADORABLE cowboy cabins at Zion Ponderosa Resort at Zion National Park.

It was so. flipping. fun!!!!

We hiked the "emerald pools" and "weeping rock"

It was absolutely gorgeous! I LOVE that red rock and all the springtimey green!

We rode the shuttle bus all through the park, it was so nice, and COOL!!!!

We roasted hot dogs, and marshmallows (PS, have you seen the flat mallows meant for s'mores?! They are ah-mazing!!!) We actually just ate...and ate...and ate...all GOOD food, oodles of it!!

Aren't the cabins adorable!?

We were FREZZINg pretty much the whole time outside, the wind was quite frigid! But we bundled up, and spent a lot of time inside sharing stories and eating more treats! MMMMM!!! We also watched "The Fall of Sam Axe" movie about Burn Notice's sidekick to Michael Weston...it was awesome. Really. WE made friends with some Aussies, played some pranks, did I say ate good food? Hiked, drove around, I got some patches for souvenirs, we packed in a ton of fun in a weekend! We all wanted to stay up later and later but our bodies refused, we were beat. It's not easy having so much fun!

We went on the Zipline at the resort, we also enjoyed the hot tub (It was SO nice, even though it was fah-REEZING outside, the hot tub was so nice and toasty!

On our way home we went to Bryce Canyon National Park, we didn't have a ton of time, but we did get to partake of this stunning view of Bryce Peak.

How was your weekend?

Easter. Cute.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We did :) This little outfit was one of the first things I bought for Everett when we found out he was a boy, it's kind of miraculous that I even remembered to get it out for Easter because we moved this week, no one has their normal clothes, things are totally disheveled and CRAZY! But we moved!!! We're still sleeping at the In-laws place because we want to clean it up real nice and get everything set up for when they come home next month:) But I am itching to get over to our new house and put everything in its new place! Sigh...can't WAIT!

Enjoy a little eye candy from today :)

hahhaaaaa, I love this scrunchie face...(that's a mini toy boom-box that was in his easter basket, it's kind of awesome, and it squeaks :)

I love them in their matchy handsome hats!

this last one is from the morning, he just woke up, so cute...this is what the easter bunny gave him, apparently the easter bunny shops at ikea :)

NOTICE

Hey friends, so I started a new crafty blog: Days Like This, and now I have an updated feed to show you when I have a new post there and when, you can also become a follower if you want, but I felt like I needed to make a post on this blog every time I posted on the other blog (Because you guys are the only ones who read it right now) and I want people to read it, I mean...that's the point, right?

So anyway, take notice that I won't post here to tell you that I posted there LOL, but in the upper left hand side there will be a link to my latest posts. So, read them :) It would be easier of you became a follower, OR there's a button on the right side of the BLOG that you can follow by email, and my posts will be sent right into your inbox! Saweet. Anyway, thanks for your support. BIG kiss.

**This picture is from our March Date...I know...kinda Lame, but we had heard this "Crazy Buffet" had won some prestigious awards, so we wanted to try it out...we were going to go to Lava Hot Springs, but decided to save the money for things for our new house...the buffet wasn't that great. I ate a ton of shrimp and crab legs though, so it was alright I suppose. Thanks for the date honey!**

Ahhh, remember when he was just a teensy little gummy bear inside my belly?! I can't believe he is so big! These days Everett:

-Scoots, and rolls over, but refuses to crawl, he is completely content to get from here to there by scooting on his tush or rolling over and over

-CLAPS!!! He claps his hands all the time, it's the cutest thing, and he understands the word, because if you say clap but don't do the action, he will clap. He also claps when he hears clapping, like when I'm watching Oprah and people clap, he joins right in.

-LOVES music (I know, what baby doesn't). If the TV is on, and he is playing he could care less, but when music starts, he is in awe, just staring at the screen, and sometimes he wiggles to the beat...it's pretty cute

-loes the sound of his voice lol...he sings to himself when he's sleepy, like in the car I can tell when he's going to fall asleep cause he starts singing to himself, it's so cute. He also likes to flip his tongue in and out to make a funny noise (That's a hard thing to describe! Does that make sense?)

-He is fearless! He reaches for things far away (Especially reaches for me) and scoots till he gets it.

-his cry is kind of like a growl...sometimes I can't help but laugh

-favorite foods are bananas and sweet potatoes, bread, cheerios and baby puffs(I mixed the puffs with cheerios, and when I put them on his high chair tray he totally eats all the puffs first! Little stinker!

-Flirts with EVERYONE, it's pretty fun to take him places, he such a charmer

-has 3 teeth

-bites me! It HURTS, and I scare him when I react, so he cries and won't nurse...doh!

-Won't take a sippy cup or bottle (ANY IDEAS? I don't know how I'm going to wean him in 3 months!)

-SUPER snuggly, not just in the morning, all the time, I LOOOOOVE it!

-Turns book pages (LOVES books)

-LOVES peek-a-boo

-Chews on everything, he especially likes shoes (gross!) and belts(or my leather keychain) He's just like a puppy! I have to keep him out of reach of the shoes!

I just adore him every day. I feel so blessed to be his mother. :)
