Our Memorable Weekend

This weekend Nathan and I got away without kids. It was our first getaway (for more than an afternoon or evening) in years. We didnt go far, but it felt like we were. We spent our weekend in St. George. It was nice! Our relaxing weekend included:

a very nice hotel. A friend of Nathan suggested La Quinta. We were skeptical, but read the reviews and thought we would try it. They are reasonably priced and have great accomadations. I was impressed!

holding hands at the movies. We saw the new Star Trek movie. I am not a Star Trek fan, but the previews intrigued me and I have to say this movie was pretty good! We both gave it a thumbs up!



lots of yummy food. On Friday evening we took a drive to a small town called Pine Valley to eat at a 5 star steakhouse. That was the best steak I have ever had! We also got to have an In-N-Out burger which Nathan enjoyed so much that he had to have another. We also indulged in a Cranberry Coke from Sonic!

an hour massage. SO NICE!!!

shopping at the outlets. I found tons of bargains (.99 cent bargains) at The Children's Place and $1 flip-flops for everyone from Old Navy.


and a visit to the St. George Temple. We spent about an hour just sitting on a bench in front of the temple just enjoying the peace. It was nice just being together and enjoying each others company.

It was only three days, but it was long enough to relax and spend time with my sweetie! We are already planning our next one. Does anyone have any suggestions of a great cruise?

The Month of May

The month of May has gone by so fast. Some of the highlights of our month include:

We celebrated Camden's 7th birthday with a yummy ice cream cake from Coldstone.

His favorite gifts were his electic scooter and a clock radio he received from Grandma.

Riley has been busy with soccer. There is never a dull moment when Riley's playing soccer.

Riley also finished Preschool. They had a graduation celebration with songs and poems and alligator cake.

After the Rain

Saturday was a slightly warm and muggy wet day. We had a soccer game at 8am that morning. It was sprinkling when we got to the field, but by the end of the game it was pouring. Even with our big beach umbrella, blankets, and coats we were all soaked and dripping by the end. Riley was such a great sport. He put in his best effort dispite his wet clothes sticking to him. Actually, we had a great time and laughed a lot about the rain. After we got home from the game I got this picture of a fantastic rainbow. I took it at a darker exposure to capture the color, but it really lit up the sky.
