It's the weekend. Hurray!

The weekend is finally here.

This means I get to sleep in, and enjoy my mornings in one of my favorite places.. my bed. Oh and it's Mother's Day this weekend. Bob and I are pretty lucky to have such great mamas. Have a great Mother's Day everyone.

Sail Away..

(I am going through pictures from 2011 that I haven't posted, and found these. Trying to catch up on the blog.)

In September our friend Shawn took us on his sailboat. We sailed on the GSL, and it was beautiful. We even got caught in a storm. It made for a fun adventure on the high seas.

I think so many people have a bad impression of the Great Salt Lake because they visit and there are brine flies everywhere and it smells.  But once you get out on the water that all goes away, and the water is so serene.

There was even some synchronized swimming that went on.  Love our random adventures.

(On a side note blogger is driving me crazy.  I hate the new settings and how it spaces things. Gr.)

Bonnie's Unofficial Shower

My dear friend Bonnie is pregnant again. She didn't want a shower since this is her second baby. So we talked her into just getting together for a little breakfast with just some close friends.

So we had an "unofficial shower" at my apartment this weekend. I set up an informal photo booth, we all brought yummy food, and we just talked, laughed, and relaxed. Thanks to everyone who came, and congratulations Bonnie on the new bun in the oven.

I normally take pictures of all the details, but I got so caught up in the fun of the shower I only took photo booth pictures. That's okay, I think they're pretty hilarious..

Dinner and a very intense movie..

Saturday night we went to Thai food with Ami and Jon. And then to see 127 Hours. (Unfortunately Bob went home after the food. He came down with a nasty sore throat, that has now turned into bronchitis. No fun.)

That movie was insane. No, like really insane. It was intense, it was incredibly interesting, and one of those movies that haunts you when it's over. I would seriously recommend it. (Warning, not for the faint of heart. They really show him cutting his arm off.)

Move over Beyonce

zumba (zoom-ba)

A fast paced Latin dance exercise class. (Beware if you are an uncoordinated white girl.)

I actually had a lot of fun. It was a quick hour of exercise that was an awesome workout. But if you were to spy on the class, I would stick out like a sore thumb. I just don't get how those Latina women can move their hips, their arms, their legs, and hands all at the same time. They make it look so easy. And I make it look so.. well nerdy. That's okay I had fun trying to channel my inner Shakira.

But I think it goes without saying that it's not one of those things I can chalk up to being naturally good at. Thanks to Kristen and Aubrie for coming with me and not trying to scoot away as I did my hip shakin'. The next time we do it, let's try to not schedule it so early in the a.m. I think that's why I didn't do as well. ;) (yeah right)

Feeling Fall-ish

Hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend. We sure did. We went from this..

to this..

All in one long weekend. But more on that once I edit all of the pictures. Isn't this weather lovely? I have been seeing little signs of Fall all over. This is my absolute very favorite time of year. Happy Tuesday.

Girl's Weekend in Park City

A few shots from my Park City trip last weekend. It was a trip full of yummy food and treats, tons of shopping (I found so many good deals), swimming, and relaxing in the jacuzzi, and just chatting with the girls.

As you can see, these are some really flattering pictures of us. Oh well, at least we were having fun! Thanks for such a fun time girls!

Our Roadtrip to Boise (Sunday)

Sunday we were planning on driving back early, but then decided since Bob's truck didn't have air conditioning that we would wait until later in the day. (Especially since Sunday had record highs of 104 degrees.)

So my parents decided to stay back with us, and graciously took us to the movies. We ended up having a movie marathon. The Boise theatre is huge and so nice. So we sat back, munched on popcorn, and watched Salt, Despicable Me, and Knight and Day. (Thanks Mom and Dad!)

Then we headed home, and might have gotten home pretty late, but we had an awesome time. And that was our whirl wind Boise trip.

Next up, our anniversary trip to Sandpoint. Man, I love Summer!

Our Roadtrip to Boise (Saturday)

Saturday we went to the music festival and bbq competition. It was at Ann Morrison Park. Holy cow that park is huge. My parents even provided us all with shirts to root on the team.

The kids fed the ducks, jousted and played in the bounce houses, and even got their faces painted.

We cooled off in the river that runs through the park, and walked around to see all of the vendors.


Oh, and did I mention we ate? We ate a lot. The team won a ribbon in ribs this competition, and let me tell you they were good.

So good that even the kids were devouring them.

The team did a great job, they got minimal sleep and cooked in really intense heat. I don't know how they do it. I have a feeling it's a mix of adrenaline, and caffeine.

What was cool about this competition was that Harry Soo, a pretty famous bbq champion from t.v. was cooking along side of the team and giving them tips. He and his team couldn't be nicer, and they even let us try their yummy food.

After the competition we went back to the hotel to eat pizza and swim.
