Our cabin retreat

To honor my favorite daddy blogger, I will post this blog in his style.

Go check him out, donate to his org,

and melt to pieces at the beauty of his

gorgeous daughter.

This weekend,

we traded the Vegas

lights for the Utah stars

with our dear

friends Aaron & Morgan.

We got out on the road

and encountered

a few car issues,

a stop at the dealership,

a few calls to arrange

using a back up truck

and after answered prayer,

we were off to Utah to

hibernate in a cabin

and get some much

needed rest.

To avoid

barfing-

I took some photos

because traveling

makes me sick

Upon our arrival

we opened a bottle

of wine & gave

our stinky babies

a bath.

I told Conrad to

keep his eyes up as

Eliza's rolls pose

as a great temptation

for him.

As you can see

Eliza turns

heads with

those beautiful

baby blues

Aaron lit a fire

and we enjoyed

some tortilla soup

I made the night

before

I saw trees

when I stepped out

of the back door

as apposed to

dirt and tumbleweeds

when I look out our

door in Vegas.

These two

rugged mountain

men wore lots of

rugged mountain man

flannel. And rugged

matching hats

with ear flaps.

Because,

Rugged mountain men

can't have cold ears.

The leafs on these

trees made

the prettiest sound

when

the

wind

blew

He ate

his meals

on the table

in this blue

chair, and

when we were

"All done!"

we signed

"All done!"

and mommy was

more excited

than Conrad.

Thank Goodness

we borrowed

a door jumper.

Our little ones

really appreciated it

I explored around

the cabin

and then

we all went to

the gas station to

buy pizza sauce,

and while we were

there

we decided that

if we were a candy bar

we would be:

(Not appropriate

Dustin)....

Morgan scored her a

"Big Hunk"
and I scored

one too

Dustin

and Conrad

waved from

above.

We ate delicious

food, had great

conversations about

life, spiritual disciplines,

parenting styles, and

were stretched

to understand better

ways to communicate

and love one another.

But more importantly,

we learned that we

suck at spades!

We got our asses

handed to us

over and over

(by the Snows')

It made us realize how bad

we (I) suck at cards.

(You just wait til' the next

trip. We are going

to dominate!)
