utah weekends

we love our quick weekend trips up to utah. we get to take quite a few of them which makes living away from family a little more bearable. 

this weekend we got to go on some great hikes, celebrate birthdays, have some intense dance parties, visit friends, enjoy the snow, and spend time with our family all in a matter of 3 days. 

yipee.

husband thought it was a good idea to hike in toms with one sock.

 cute mama with her now 6 year old twins...what?!

birthday celebrations

 grandma helping open presents...so intense.

i love my little fam:)

 mowgli leading the way

v.day

happy love day.

i hope everyones valentines was full of love. 

we love celebrating love around here. the husband took us on our now traditional valentines hike out in red rock (it fit the theme since the hike was red rocks and pink sand). the rain and intense wind added to our little adventure. mowgli was in heaven.

we also went to the movie, the vow, but it was a little too cheesy for my taste...even though i hate to admit it, but i did cry in one part. hey, it was based on a true story. 

i came home to my new red bag, hundreds of i love you notes filled up inside, roses, and balloons. i love that husband of mine:) we spent the rest of the night celebrating in other valentine ways, but I'm gonna go ahead and spare you those details. 

let love rule.

the beach. 

we love it. not much more to say....

I'm back tracking a bit here....

the husband and i took our little pup to experience one of our greatest loves on this earth...

the beach.

and it did not disappoint. 

camping against the shoreline, fire pit dinner, s'mores, roasted starbursts, and yummy hot chocolate...makes for a perfect weekend (minus the pouring rain that woke us the next morning).

puppy loved it soooo much!

success.

 i make him do this where ever we go;) haha.
