mom, my favorite birthday queen.

Happy Birthday to the greatest mom in the world.

I love her so much.

She's my best friend and I don't know where I would be without her.

She is always taking care of our family and making everyone around her happy.

Happy Birthday to my favorite Queen! 

I love you!

The Sundance Kids.

It's that time of year again...

the time when we go star gazing at Sundance.

We loved it so much we went up there twice this year.

Each time was well worth it, and as memorable as ever.

My love for the event only continues to grow.

See you next year Sundance.

Ingrid.

Thank you Ingrid.

Once again you've warmed my heart 

with your wonderful tunes.

I'll be listening to your album nonstop from today to forever probably.

addicted.

To say I love cafe rio mints would be an understatement.

To say I'm addicted is probably the more accurate statement.

I make sure we eat there at least once a week 

just so we can replenish our stock.

The little beauties get me through the week.

an overdue weekend.

The family spent the long weekend in Sun Valley.

It was long overdue.

I say it all the time, but there is no place better.

I am so glad we somewhat stumbled upon wonderful Sun Valley a few years ago.

It's our home away from home.

Already can't wait to go back.

See you soon SV!

A journey.

That's what life is about.

be different.

To be different 

in the very best way

is the best way to be.

winterized camping.

January doesn't stop us from enjoying a nice campfire.

I think our dance around the fire may have even been the reason for the arrival for snow this morning.

You can thank us later.

back to school. 

back to stress.

but staying happy.
