A week of pure RELAXING

This past week Spencer and I both took off work and went to the Forsberg Cabin. It was absolutely wonderful!! Here is a LONG post of the entire week:
Saturday Morning: We left Sierra Vista and went to the Temple. We got to do sealings which are always amazing. That afternoon we went to my dear friend Kristal's coed bridal shower. That night we headed up to the Forsberg's for a Big Birthday Party.
Sunday Morning: We went to our old ward. (my in-laws ward too) I Loved it! It was ward conference so I got to listen to my father in law speak. He always does a great job. Then in Relief Society my mother in law gave a great lesson. I think what I really really loved about church is it was in English! That afternoon we left Phoenix and went to Flagstaff (Munds Park) to stay the week at the cabin.

It was BEAUTIFUL!! This is the "stream" that runs through the gold course.

Monday: We slept in!!! Then spent the day in Flagstaff. We went shopping, to lunch, and to the movies.

Tuesday: We slept in!!! Played in the snow. Went on a Ranger Ride. Worked on my quilt while Spencer did school work.

Wednesday: We Slept in!! Went on a long walk. Went on more Ranger Rides! Played Soccer, cards, and more games!
This was melted snow running down the creek.This is a lake that we walked to. It was Frozen!

Thursday: We Slept in!! Went to the park and ate ice cream. Played soccer and then later that Afternoon my Mother in law, Father in law, Brother in law, and his 3 boys, and my Sister in law with her son all came up to the cabin. That night we went to Sedona and ate all you can eat king crab!! It was fun and we enjoyed each others company! That night we went back to Phoenix and then left really early Friday morning. I had to work and Spencer had school work.
This is Spencer's favorite restaurant! I would have to admit it is YUMMY!

Saturday: I spent the day with my Sister Allison. We left early this morning and went to Tucson. We spent a good couple of hours at the cannery. Yeah for food storage! Then we headed to Costco! We ate lunch and spent money:)
If you read this entire thing you can tell we had a WONDERFUL week! It was the first time Spencer and I have been on a trip alone since we had been married. It was great!

Valentines Day

We had a great Valentines this year!!! The week of Valentines Day we were lucky to have my Bro & Sis-in-law here for a couple of days. We made Valentines and decorated Valentine cookies. It was fun to have them here!!!

On Valentines Day we had a YUMMY valentines breakfast. Red Heart Waffles, Strawberry's and Whip Cream, and Strawberry Smoothies. After breakfast we got some chores done and then packed a lunch and went on a hike. It was a BEAUTIFUL hike. The weather was great, snow patches throughout the trail, the streams were running, ect. It was a fun 51/2 miles hike with a nice little lunch.
After lunch we headed back to work on our garage/gym. I was able to meet up with a great friend Gina and catch up on some old times. That night we were so lucky to chaperon the stake dance. They fed us a yummy dinner and then we danced the night away. It was fun to actually get to spend an entire day with Spencer.
P.S. GUESS WHAT I GOT FOR VALENTINES DAY.............

YEP!!! WICKED TICKETS!! It's coming to Phoenix in July and we are totally going!!!

We Looked Out The Window and What Did We See?

When we got up this morning, we looked outside and we saw...... SNOW!!!!!!

Last week was BEAUTIFUL! Perfect weather. This week it SNOWED. You never can guess what the weather is going to be the next day. We have had snow on the mountains a lot this year but not much at our house. You would think it was Christmas...Happy Valentines Day!!!
