TRIP TO UTAH





















Brian and I took a weekend ski trip to Utah with the Dardanos and Shumways- sans kids. We were able to stay in my parents' cabin at Sundance and it was perfect- the weather was great and the skiing/snowboarding was so fun...the company wasn't too shabby either! Thanks to mom and dad for letting us take over the place for the weekend. We hit up Cafe Rio, of course, as well as my old fave, The Pizza Factory. We were even able to squeeze in some family time- my brother Beau and his roommate met us up for a little skiing and then dinner on Friday. All in all, it was a win-win (that ones for you, Dad!) because our kids had so much fun at their Nana and Papa's- they weren't really interested in coming home after we showed up. We can't wait to do it again...

A Quick Trip to Houston

We visited our good friends, the Robinsons, this past weekend in their new home near Houston, TX. We had a great time- we both have girls about the same age so they have a blast playing with one another. Brian's birthday was on Sunday so we celebrated a little bit then, but on Friday night, I took him on a date (planned by me) and gave him a Nintendo Wii- I think he was a bit shocked- I don't know if it was because I got it for him or if it was that I was actually able to find one. Either way- its been fun. This first picture is of Taylor at a playground by the Robinsons and the next is of their daugther, Chayse, chilling at a tea party.

Thanksgiving in Atlanta

We drove the entire 12 hours (each way) to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with my parents. I have two sisters and two brothers who also live in the area, so it ended up being quite a crowd. We had a great time there enjoying my parent's property. Brian took the girls on several canoe rides in my parents' ponds and spent alot of time pushing them on the tire swing. Since my parents live in the country- in the truest sense of the word- there are farms almost completely surrounding them, so we took the girls to check out all of the local "wildlife". They especially loved the horses. Its always fun to spend time with my family- and I just don't get to do it often enough. Brian and I also ran our first race together, the Atlanta Half Marathon. I'll post some pics of that later. Here are some pictures of our little vacation.
