Spring-ish Winter

I wish our Winters were always like it has been this year. 

We've had very little snow & when we do it lasts for a day or two at the longest. 

We've had a lot of 50 degree weather & last week it even got up into the low 60's. 

LOVE.

We've spent a lot of time at the park on those nice days.

The girls LOVE going outside. 

 They love the swings. Especially Morley. She giggles the whole time. I love it.

The girls & I went outside & played in the snow with Mckay on one of our snowy days last week. 

 They had fun until Wrigley fell face first into the snow. She wasn't a fan after that. 

If Only it Were this Easy

Dr. Suess Party

Last Saturday we went to a birthday party for my cousin's little boy, Noah. 

It was his first birthday & the theme of the party was
 Dr. Suess.
 Camille went to so much work. Everything was so cute!!

There were two little ball pits that the girls had a blast playing in.  Well sort of....Morley liked playing outside of them. She didn't love being in it. 

 They also had a "photo booth" where you could take pictures with  The Cat in the Hat. 

 We had a hard time getting them to face forward for a picture. They wanted to turn around and see the cat. 

What a fun party!!

I remember when Noah was born and I was hugely pregnant. The first time I got to see him & hold him, I was just days away from meeting my baby girls. I can't believe it has been a year.

Little America Weekend

Jeff & I were talking on Thursday & decided we needed a little weekend getaway. So I talked to my parents & they agreed to watch the girls for us. 

Jeff was able to get off work a little early on Friday and we took the girls up to my parents' house & headed up to Salt Lake to stay at the Little America Hotel.

This was our room.

 And the view from our balcony.

With the package we did we got a $60 dining credit to eat in any of the restaurants at the hotel. For dinner we ate at the Sports Bar. It was a pretty fancy Sports Bar. Jeff said he felt out of place. 

After we ate we drove over to the Gateway Mall & did a little shopping. It was nice to just walk around and take our time. It was a really beautiful night. 

When we were finished there we went back to the hotel & sat in the hot tub. It was packed. 

Here's Jeff relaxing in his robe after we got back from the hot tub.

I didn't sleep as well that night as I thought I would. I woke up a few times thinking I needed to check the babies. 

 

In the morning we ate at the Breakfast Buffet. Oh my. It was delicious! They had every breakfast food you could want. Pastries & muffins...my favorite! And Jeff was in heaven with as much bacon as he could ever want. There was an omelet station and while Jeff was waiting for his omelet to be made a lady came up next to him & the girl making the omelets was admiring her scarf. The lady took it off, handed it to her & said, "Here you can have it. I got it in New York but I go there all the time so I can easily get another one."

How cool is that?! I want to be able to do things like that one day! :)

After breakfast, we walked around some of the little shops in the hotel, then went back up to our room & relaxed for a little bit before we needed to get packed up & check out. It was just a short little getaway but totally worth it.

Matthew Plays Basketball

We were finally able to make it to one of Matthew's basketball games last week. I've wanted to go for a long time but the game was too late for the girls or something always came up.

Jeff & Morley had been to a game before so as we were walking in I asked Jeff, "Is this where we go in?" And he said, "Yeah." And then Wrigs said, "YEAH!" So funny :)

Here are some pictures from the game...

The girls didn't want to sit still for one minute. Big surprise. 

Mostly they wanted to dive right off the bleachers so we had to keep a good eye on them. Wrigley was walking around and slipped and hit the back of her head pretty hard on one of the benches. She got a big bump :(

Unfortunately, Matthew's team lost.

My mom told Jeff he should coach their team next year.

Clearly, she's not a big fan of his current coach.
