Girls weekend.

All 5 of us were supposed to go to Moab with Dan's family for some hiking and camping, but last minute, no one was able to go. So the girls and I decided to stay home so dan could do some mt. biking with his brother Preston. he was very hesitant to leave us, but he had a lot of fun. We had a girls night here, and also had fun. We rented a movie, ate yummy treats, and then had a sleepover in my bed. They thought that was the funnest thing in the world---so far as parents, we have never allowed our girls to sleep in our bed, so they really loved it. We woke up, worked out, and then off to Lee's for some donuts and feeding the ducks. we discovered a little walking path right behind Lee's so we followed that for a bit because it was such a beautiful day. We went home to give Georgia a nap and did some art while she was snoozing. Then we went for a walk that ended in a picnic at the park. Dan called while we were there and told me not to eat dinner because he was almost home and was going to pick us up dinner to eat after the kids were asleep. He really had fun in Moab, but he was really excited to get back. So I put the kids to bed and had a mini date with Dan. He is going to Logan this weekend to camp with his YM, so I see another fun girls night happening. Love my kiddos and my cute husband.

Sylvie insisted on putting on lipstick to start off our girls weekend.

Stori using Sylvie as a body pillow in my bed.

mid wave to daddy in this picture. She usually has greek yogurt and toast while we eat our donuts. she doesn't need to know what she's missing just yet.

2 things to note about this ^^photo. Sylvie didn't want me to take this picture because she didn't want daddy to feel bad that we went for donuts without him....and also... Georgia's face hahaha. is she just so embarrassed of me already?

feeding the ducks outside of Lee's.

On our little walk. Stori picked me this bouquet, and Sylvie wanted to rest on all the benches we saw on the path.

view from our walk.

playing outside allll day sure wore them right out.

Georgia owning these muffins at the park.

We were so proud of her for standing so long on her own....

...and then those eyes again^^^ hahaha. She is so annoyed by me cheering for her.

some books take both arms to turn the page.

^^and that pen hold is so dainty and adorable!!!

^^this was actually at Zupas, before Dan left, but she is so cute and ate her roll lounged back the whole time. Also.... after 4 years of wanting to try Zupas, we finally did and ended up going twice in one week. Once as a family for Stori's school fundraiser, and then once with Dan, Georgia and Sylvie on Dan's lunch break.

So while we were eating junk food, dan was Mt. Biking in this gorgeous place. that's him on the left taking a picture of Canyonlands from Dead horse point.

.....and one more picture of dan. We went running before he left, and I had to snap this picture because he matched our bike trailer exactly. Red on top, black on bottom, and even his shoes! haha. He's my favorite running buddy...and not just because I don't have to push the kids, but because we get to talk the whole time.
