Weekend in St. George with Tom & Trace

Tom and Trace took their Spring Break vacation to St. George. We decided to join them for a few days of mountain biking and playing! We had a lot of fun enjoying the beautiful area and spending a lot of time outside. It was great to watch Bristol play with Scout and her grandparents. We miss having them so close!

Pink!

I was the one while pregnant, knowing that it was a girl, who totally adverted AWAY from pink. I wanted nothing to do with it. Especially that baby pink color that is popular for baby girls. Everything I bought was  any color besides pink- nursery, clothes, toys, I mean everything! I was even told by my sister that my daughter looked like a boy in her school pictures because she was not wearing any pink. Well, I guess it really doesn't matter. Bristol LOVES pink! Everything pink. It was the first color she could point out. She goes towards everything that is pink. She wants pretty pink dresses, and pink shoes, and pink socks. It is crazy! I cannot believe that she is doing this. I have no idea how she picked this up. It definitely was not from me!! So, needless to say, this girls wants pink, I guess we will have to give on some things. Here are a few things that she insists on either having or wearing, just because they are pink. (We haven't bought her a pink bike for a few reasons, although she keeps asking..)

Ella!

Bristol has a new friend that she loves and adores, and to this date takes her everywhere! (Of course, I make her leave Ella in the car!) Here is a video of when she first was given Ella from the Weavers. December 2011

 It is fun to see her now with Ella, oh how their relationship has evolved!

Living Planet Aquarium with Michelle and the kids!

Sam actually had a Saturday off, so we decided to make a day of it and go visit the Planet Aquarium in Sandy. It was great to take the kids to do a fun activity, and we all enjoyed it too! The best part was petting the sting-rays. We all enjoyed getting very wet while trying to catch one on our palm. Bristol loved seeing all the Nemo characters that they had "hanging" around! Reagan is always such a helper when it comes to Bristol. She is a great big sister. Hopefully Bristol is taking notes!! What a fun day to spend with the family!!

First "snow" of the year

This winter has been very strange here in Utah. We really did not get much snow.. Of course we didn't because Sam and I bought a bunch of snowboarding gear this year!! Bristol loves the snow and anytime it would snow she did not want to miss the opportunity to play(eat) in the snow. We have loved having the little bit we have gotten!

2nd Annual Girls Weekend with My Sister!!

This is the second year Bristol and I have traveled down to beautiful California to visit my sister! We have loved doing this, especially when it is in February!! We enjoyed going to the beach, the zoo and the amazing outdoor market that I envied so much. It is always great to visit and to have fun in the 70 degree weather while escaping the 30 degree temperature in Utah! Bristol loves seeing KiKi!

New Year's Eve 2011

The Kelly boys were able to get us all together and celebrate by going out to dinner and then playing at our house afterwards until the ball dropped. We had fun chatting and playing games. Our little family was able to make it to Temple Square earlier that night, which is always a treat!
