Ice Castles

It felt like we were in the movie Frozen the other night as we explored ice caves, slides and walkways. It helped to have let it go and other instrumental music from the movie playing and the 15-20 degree weather of course. What a fun freezing night it was! Freddie loved every moment of it, Harriet tolerated it and kept her warm clothes on, and we loved watching them. Fred went down the smaller slide about 20 times and waited in line for the big slide all the way to the top before deciding he didn't want to go down. I was really proud of him for trying. He got a little upset before leaving because he didn't want to go and "would miss this place too much." My sensitive guy. We talked about enjoying everything as much as possible and till the very last minute and then saying goodbye and just being glad we did it. He's wonderful. And I don't blame him one tiny bit. 

on the road...to Utah

Last week my mom, Collin, Frederick and I left for a 5 day trip to Utah. My mom's uncle died and so, it was time for another funeral. We packed up and left for the long road trip up north. It took hours longer than usual, having a sweet little babe and all, but we watched lots of movies to make the time pass by. 

The drive was gorgeous. 

I love and miss Flagstaff. 

The red rock in southern Utah is breath taking.

The air is fresh up in the mountains.

Frederick did pretty well considering. But towards the end he was just downright miserable. But, finally, we made it. To Provo. We stayed with cousins, Gussie, Spencer, and 10-month-old Maelo. We all had a great time together and we got to hang out with my brothers, AJ and David, who recently both returned to school at BYU. And, of course, Collin and I got to reminise about the old days and showed Freddie all our old spots....our old apartment, our favorite restaurants, old jobs (and I even stopped in and showed off my handsome baby boy at the restaurant I worked at, La Dolce Vita), and the school. One of the most amazing sights to see in Provo was the brand new temple being built right off Center Street where the old Tabernacle was. It was incredible. I just saw it and gasped at it's beauty. It's all just a wooden frame now.

I Love Groundhog day. And the movie Groundhog day.

And I love little kitten waking us up at too early in the morning by jumping on us and getting our feet

And I love CS in his dress clothes for work. He's hot.

The snow is melting, the birds are singing, the sun is out, the ground hog did not see his shadow, but it's only 25 degrees with 17 mph winds.

I'm having a hard time getting dressed to go outside and meet CS downtown after his meeting.

I made this:

frozen mama and baby

We're frozen popsicles in our house!!!

combo of snow and wind is unbearable!!!

Not looking forward to winter this year.

BUT, things at work are looking up!!!!
