instragrams

So I got an iphone for my birthday and I am obsessed with instagram (I'm a photographer, what would one expect!? I think in pictures.) :) I know you can make magnets out of your photos and I am doing that ASAP! I love the fun ways the photos can be edited. Love it!

29!

On the 18th, I turned 29! My last year in my twenties...it's so crazy to me. the 20's so far were the best years of my life but I KNOW my 30's will be even better. Excited to see what this next year brings, I pray for another year of health and happiness!



2 days before my b-day, on one of my hubby's days off, we took a day trip to LA and it was so fun! It's always so nice to get out of the daily, structured routine and the little bubble we live in and see a new city, eat diff foods, and spend some awesome quality time together! We had a blast!






My birthday morning started off amazing. I woke up at 9:45 to an empty house! My sweet, sweet hubby took the twins out and they came back each holding a long stem rose and exclaimed" Happy Birthday, Mommy!!!" I was then greeted with TWO dozen long stem roses, a coffee from the bux and cinnamon rolls...my fav! Hubby had to go to work but he sure gave me a perfect morning!


The rest of the day was an ordinary one and then that night I got dressed up and we met my twin sis and her long time BF for dinner at a new joint. It's always been really cool and special to share my b-day. I love being a twin and the older we get the more we appreciate each other. It was a fun evening of good food and laughter :)







A few days later my awesome big sis took me out for lunch and shopping! I love my big sis but we are both really busy in new seasons of life so we don't get to hang out as much as we used to, I loved our time together!




Then lastly we had dinner with my awesome in laws (I forgot to get a pic with them)!

just another day in paradise

The twins got their awesome tricycles a little over a year ago, for their 2nd birthday. It was about 6 months before they really knew how to ride them and now they are old pro's racing all over the place. They got helmets for Christmas and now all they want to do is ride! The other morning, we went for a ride around our neighborhood and enjoyed the insanely gorgeous weather! Although we have entered to win the HGTV dream home in Utah (yes, we would totally move if we won, have you seen that house??!!?), I don't know HOW we could be away from the beach and having the kind of view we have from, literally, our back door!
