Snow, coats and naps

Well my birthday celebrations have officially begun, and mother nature decided to give me snow to start things off right! I loved it! The storm was awesome. I loved watching it snow all day at work and then coming home and getting in sweats and slippers and some hot cocoa of course....can't forget the cocoa

On Saturday it was too snowy to go running, so Bart and I decided to go jean shopping for my skinny hubby....it wasn't a pleasant experience. 

We went to Khols first and by the end Bart wasn't a happy camper. I found myself an AMAZING red coat (pics to come) but we couldn't find any pants that fit Bart.

 Who knew losing 30 pounds would make it harder to find jeans?? 

We went to the mall next and we found ONE pair of jeans...three different stores and only one pair. Not even the same style, but different brand, fit the same....so, ONE pair of jeans later we were done shopping....

we probably won't be doing anything like that anytime soon. 

Later that day Bart and I met his mom and brother at Red Rock for some lunch.

Love that place!

All bundled up with 3948 layers to decrease the possibility of me whining about 

the cold

 And what would a Saturday birthday celebration be without taking a nap?? 

Which is exactly what we did and it was a pretty great nap.

To finish off the day we headed down to my old stomping grounds (any by stomping grounds I mean the place where sad, terrible memories were made). Our nephew was playing in a championship football game at Lehi High so despite the 20 degree weather, we went and watched! His team was playing Lehi's team which of course means Lehi lost...because that's what Lehi High School does....lose!
It was freezing but since it was a little league game it was only an hour and half so we survived.

All this fun stuff and my birthday hasn't even happened yet! Stay tuned :)

Snow Snow Snow

It's snowing!!

I am sitting here at my desk watching the snow come down and I am getting so excited. I love having big windows to look out and watch the landscape change. I am definitely okay with snow in November. This is making me want to go get big comfy sweaters to just curl up with come cocoa.

Happy winter everyone!

Snow Day

Bart and I played hookie today


Now I know what you are thinking, how can we play hookie on Sunday? Well it's not  that we had somewhere to be and we ditched out, it was more like we played hookie from life. I have 5498 things to do and playing in the snow wasn't on that list but we did it anyway and had a great time.


It took like an hour to convince Bart to take me to play in the snow, but as soon as we got there he kept saying that we should do it more often, so we will see how it goes. He first attempted to take us up Green Canyon but as we were driving the left side of the road was all dirt and the right side barely had any snow so we changed our course and went to Tony's Grove. 

We had a snow fight for like 5 min before we were both freezing cold

This was our attempt at a snowman...Bart wasn't much help and got side tracked trying to make a tunnel underneath so we just left the poor guy looking like this

After getting white-washed Bart failed to mention the fact that I had mascara all down my face so the pictures all have me with black eyes...

I have never been to Tony's Grove...turns out it is the PERFECT place to go play in the snow. There was plenty of it!

It was fun to be outside and not worry about all of the things we have to do. Days like these jump start me for the next few weeks!
