We headed to Arizona for the beginning of Thanksgiving Break to soak up some family time in the desert. We took a day trip to the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess to enjoy the heated pools. We came back another night for the annual tree lighting ceremony. It’s always amusing to see…
I spent the rest of spring break hanging poolside with my pool boys. They earned a well deserved popsicle break. Cheers!
With our big kids in London for spring break, I took the littles to Arizona for some sunshine and relaxation. It just so happened that Troy had a conference in Scottsdale that week so I met up with him for a couple of days while Crew and Finn stayed with…
Troy took the older boys on their first ski trip. Funny enough, when we lived near the mountains in Utah, we hardly ever skiied. Now that we live in California, we take trips to go skiing. Blake and Nash did ski school and loved every minute of it. They advanced…

We headed to the desert for Thanksgiving. The boys had the whole week off from school so it was worth it to travel. Funny enough, we had to go to the desert to pull out the winter apparel. It was a lot chillier than Southern California. Nash’s “relaxing” photos have…
If I’m being real, our spring break this year was largely overshadowed by some fierce germs, sleepless nights, constant bickering and complaints of being bored by 8:30am. Yes, we did manage to fit in a trip to the desert. I’ve lost any expectations of trips feeling like “vacations” with four…
Nash came up to me on a Saturday to show me his first loose tooth. To my surprise, it was really loose! He worked on it all weekend and sure enough, it fell out while he was swimming on Monday. The only problem was, it immediately sunk to the bottom…
