"Little City" aka The Discovery Zone

One of our favorite places to go to is the Discovery zone at Gateway...or "Little City" as Bailey calls it! We go at least once a week to blow off some steam. Bailey just runs around that place like crazy! She loves it. My sister Vauri and her husband Jay bought us a membership in the summer {thank you!!!} so we have been taking advantage! We will definitely be renewing our membership!

Danielle's bday

One of my best girlfriends turned 30 this week, Happy birthday Danielle!!! Her birthday is 3 weeks before mine so I am next...eek! We celebrated by have a surprise dinner party for her at Z Tejas at the gateway. I love these two. We have been through so much together. We have been besties for the past 10 years... the crazy 20's when you really find out who you are. They were my bridesmaids, I was Kayla's bridesmaid this past September, we each have little kiddos now {Kayla's son Tristin is Bailey's boyfriend :) } and now Kayla is pregnant...due in July! They really are like my sisters and I am so thankful we have remained so close throughout the years.

Happy birthday Danielle!!! I hope you have the most amazing year!

Golfing

Last weekend we had such good weather, so before heading over to Nick and Tracy's house to watch the big U of U vs TCU game, (which was soooo pathetic) we decided to get some golfing in. We love Old Mill golf course, it is so close to our house with great views of the valley and our gorgeous mountains! Here are some pictures of Bailey boo and Chris practicing with a bucket of balls...

A club just her size

Gardner Village and the witches

We have seriously been so busy doing tons of little fall activities....we made it over to Gardner Village last week... it was really fun going there to see the witches all dressed up for Halloween....

~ November ~

Ahhh Fall... I love this time of year. We have been bundling up in our home and getting cozy! I have decided to do the NaBloPoMo maybe it will get me back into the blogging habit, especially right in time for the holidays... So today's blog topic is about a piece of jewelry that I own...

One of my favorite pieces of Jewelry is my locket from Brighton. My Mother-in-law gave it to me for my birthday a few years ago and I am in LOVE! Of course it has a picture of my baby girl on the inside of it. Every time I wear it I get tons of comments. I tend to wear it if we have a night out and get a babysitter, makes me think of Bay the whole night. Here's a couple of pictures of this beautiful locket...
