beach day in february

while in california for president's day weekend (my first trip back to california after moving to vegas) we lucked out with amazing weather. we hit the beach with friends and family. it was so nice to be down by the water and spending time with great people!

good morning utah

something about waking up to snow falling outside your window is just purely magical! maybe it's just because i only had to deal with it for a few days, but i SO enjoyed the snow while we were in utah! i have never loved it more.

this particular morning was just amazing. we woke up to snow falling, aaron made a seriously scrumptious breakfast and little emerson was just adorable as can be in the tub. what a fantastic start to the day!

thanks for an amazing trip smith family. we LOVE you!

a utah family dinner

we were so lucky to have seen so many family members while visiting utah. tyler's sister, julia and her husband aaron graciously hosted a family dinner at their home. it was SO lovely to see everyone that we love dearly, but rarely see.

thanks to everyone who came and made it such a great evening! we love you!!!

i didn't forget about you christmas!

i have been such a slacker. moving with like two weeks notice is not really conducive to getting a lot of blogging done. now we are finally settling in here in las vegas and i have time to blog again. it is good to be back!

christmas was wonderful!

this year on christmas morning, we started at our place then headed to my parent's house. with brylee being the center of attention it really made it fun. it was nice to take the focus off what everyone got, instead we just oooed and awwwed over sweet little brylee girl as she opened her gifts. we also got to spend quality time with tyler's parents since we were the only rex's in town this year. it was such a great day!
