a bakers dozen

February 1, 2009

maybe i’ve been married 13 years…

maybe i adore him.

maybe i still get goosebumps when he kisses my neck.

maybe he makes me smile even when i’m grumpy. Even when I try not to smile.

maybe he is the funnest person i could have ever chosen to spend my life with.

maybe he is the most generous person i know.

maybe he is the most attractive man i have ever laid eyes on.

maybe we have a secret way to hold hands.

maybe we have a secret made-up word.

maybe he gives me unlimited support in everything i do.

maybe he has made my life more than everything i ever dreamed it would be.

mazatlan

January 30, 2009

ahhhh, mazatlan.
our home away from home.

Back in July, I shared our love of the Philippines. Well, my husband a.k.a. Pro Look Sports also has a factory in Mazatlan, Mexico.
Since PL started contracting work with this factory our family has been traveling to Mazatlan. While recently there we tried to nail down how many times we have gone. We think this was our seventh family trip. Of course Dusty has also gone solo. Our first trip there as a family I was pregnant with KJ. We have celebrated Halloween in Mazatlan, Thanksgiving, and lots of birthdays in-between. I am drawn to the familiarity Mazatlan has to us,

.....

was indeed happy!

However, we did get started on the wrong foot. Evidently, we managed to get the one taxi driver in L.A. who did not know how to get to our hotel. Instead of a 40 minute ride, it took two hours! geesh!

Other than the long taxi ride, we had incredible weather, it was beautiful in the high 70’s or low 80’s each day we were there and considering we were there over a 3-day weekend the place was not busy at all! Seriously awesome.

For Disneyland and California Adventure our favorite place to stay is at the California Grand Hotel. The day we arrived we kept it low-key and didn’t go to the parks right off the bat.

sundance

January 13, 2009

Since our kids are attending school at ivy hall academy, they get to enjoy skiing every Monday afternoon during the winter. In January and February they are dismissed early at 11:30am to go skiing at sundance. It is an option to just ski, or an option to take ski lessons. We choose to take our kids and ski with them {well, with one of them!}, Dusty has given them lessons himself over the years and they are awesome!

Kiana rode up with a friend from her class and honestly, I saw that girl on the mountain in quick passing about four times. Each of those passings were so quick I never got a picture of her. How is it I have such an independent ten year old?!?

38 years, and counting…

November 13, 2008
ONcE upon a time there was a very handsome man who was head over heels in love with this girl. She made him crazy. Little did the man know, the girl had another boyfriend. whoops. But eventually this girl came to her senses and dumped the other boyfriend. So when this man said I love you and asked her to be his bride, she said NO. But, when he asked the SECOND time she said YES.

This man is celebrating his birthday today. He is so sweet and all he asked for was to spend time with his family. So his family took him to Park City yesterday.

bowling for dollars

November 2, 2008

One of the best qualities about my husband is that he’s a party animal.

Literally non-stop.

He planned a group date night tonight that was killer fun.

We had dinner at “Spark,” a new restaurant in Provo.
Then we went bowling…

so, it was not just any bowling,
