february 2013: friends, family & zero free weekends

February was a whirl-wind, but a fun one. With weekend trips, the super bowl, a new hobby, the guys hunting weekend, casino parties, Spencer Leadership Conference delegates staying with us, girl's craft nights, etc. we had a busy schedule and loved every minute of it. Here is a summery of the month in photos.


Ryan took me on a surprise date night where we took a clay molding class and had a delicious dinner at Union Bear.

We finally got around to staining the deck:

We got to go to the Mavs game with the Strolle's (friends from PK) and sit in some amazing seats thanks to a client gift. Seriously, can you see how close we were?!?!

I started Bikram Yoga (yoga in a 105 degree room) and really fell in love with it. It is calm, warm and you can do it barefoot, so I kind of think it's the perfect sport for me.

I continued to love my new job! Below I am working outside on our lovely patio on one of those rare warm/gorgeous February days that make me sooo ready for spring!

Th puppies enjoyed those days too. Surprisingly, at the dog park we discovered that Kali is a bit of a loner and rather skittish around that many strange dogs. Not surprisingly, Murphy was friends with everyone.

Valentine's Day was chill and delicious! A nice steak dinner at home on our porch with all my loves:

Some of the crafts I made at one of our girl's nights:

We had some play dates with Elvis and the Gerbmans. As always occurs when he spends time at our house, the puppies were all exhausted after a few hours.

This is the ombre (attempt) bundt cake I made for the SLC delegates, it's not as pretty as I had hoped (pintrest fail) but they said it tasted good:

These were our delegates: Phillip, Uli and Hunter. Very sweet guys!
