Vegas 2011

Ladies Trip 2011!!

Here is a little view of our weekend getaway.  It was amazing and we know it wouldn't have been possible with out our amazing significant others... so big THANKS!!

We ate in St. George at a cute little bakery our friends introduced me to {Chris and Azy}.  Started the trip off on the right food with a good hearty breakfast. Food on vacation is usually all I care about. :) 

Vegas here we come!!
After wandering the strip and shopping, we checked into our hotel, thanks again Shawn (he hooked us up with a free two night stay).  Farrah and I were able to sweet talk the front desk and got a free upgrade to a two bedroom suite!! We were all so stoked.

It is kind of embarrassing to admit, but we spent most of our time at this lovely store.  Man is it great. Bug and Becca especially loved it. :)

Little Miss Farrah finally got her well deserved pedicure.  Me on the other hand, got a $25.00 toe nail paint job and a dislocated ankle all in the span of ten minutes. Impressive. :)

We got to meet up with some good friends, Lindsey and Justin Bowen and Chris and Azy Capua, and have a good dinner.  It was so good to see our friends.  It always goes way too fast.  Can't wait 'til we are all in the same town again.

Good times were definitely had by all.  The trip wouldn't have been the same without you all.  I thoroughly enjoyed myself.  I am lucky to have some of the best ladies around me. 

Sure will miss you all!

The End.

my little nug

Holden.

This is a picture my cousin took of my little guy.  Man is he cute or what?

Holden is turning one this next week.  Honestly I can't believe it.  I can't help to think everyday of where I was this time last year.  Man what a difference a year will make.  If I could have just had a glimpse of this guy, things would have been a lot easier.  This time of year will always be a special one.  It is a constant reminder of how much I love my kids and how blessed I am to have them.  Man did we luck out.

**Stay tuned for his birthday post**

i tried.

Tonight we were reading the scriptures and trying to teach Lennon a little something.

Here is how that turned out.

Me: Ya Lennon, like when you get scared at night {cause he gets scared now} you just ask Heavenly Father and Jesus to help you that you won't be scared, and you will be all better!!

Lennon: YA!! I won't be scared

{and with gun in hand}

And then I'll SHOOT Jesus!

Of course I explained you don't shoot people, and of course not Jesus.

Looks like we have a long road folks.

Easter Meester 2011

Lennon coloring eggs with Alix and Kobie

Can't leave Holden out.

Easter 2011 was a hit. It was so much fun this year. Lennon is finally at the age where he is so stoked on everything. He loved hunting for eggs. He was a spazz the whole time.

Saturday, my whole family came over and ate lunch along with two easter egg hunts. One for the adults {with $$$$} and one for the kids. It was a blast. B and I have always sucked every year in the adult hunt but this year we decided to try HARD. :) We ended up getting $87 buckaroos!! Funny. My mom did way too much as always, but we love her for it. Thanks mom.

On Sunday we got to go over to Grandma and Grandpa Nilsson's house for our annual hunt and a nice dinner. Lennon was freaking out. He couldn't believe he got to do it all over again! I guess that is the perk of living near both sides. One thing we will miss when we leave. It was so fun to watch him with all his cousins.

Easter was great.

Thanks to mom and mom-in-law for making it so great.

Multiple post's below... trying to get caught up.

Spring has sprung... sort of.

Nothin' like a day in the park with the whole {well not quite whole... but almost} Hofheins clan.

Fun.

NICU visit 2011

Some of my favorite people

Holden got to tag along with B and I on our anniversary. Thanks to Chris Hair, Lennon stayed home. Here is what chris said about his night with Lennon: "Last night: I got frozen with a freeze ray gun, tackled, played the part of Bulls Eye the horse, ate mac and cheese, built a fort, shot some bears and a mean shark, watched two disney movies, played soccer, played baseball, punched the punching bag, cleared out the monsters in the house, and had a solid dance party... best night ever." Needless to say, Lennon didn't want to come home.. at all. Chris... YOU-DA-MAN!!

Aside from that, B and I had so much fun. Holden was such a good baby. We went and got some dinner, shopped a little and then decided to go visit some of our favorite people at the NICU!!

-I am so glad we did.-

All three of the people I really really wanted to see were there! You really do have a special love for someone after they have literally nursed your child to life. These three ladies (among others) will always hold a special place in my heart. It made my whole week getting to visit them and show off my handsome Holden. I know he loves them as well.

All in all, our night was the best. I am grateful for B. I am grateful for what we went through almost a year ago.

I am grateful for my two HEALTHY boys!

cheers to five years...

It has been five years since we sealed the deal.

Best decision ever.

B can you even believe all that we have done and gone through?

Who would have thought?

Love you.

XOXO
