Birthdays All Around

Two very special people in my life are celebrating birthdays today and I want to wish both of them the very best!

This is my dear friend Amber who joins the always awesome 27-year-old-club today! I just love announcing that for each of my friends so we can all enjoy our age together :) Amber is one of the most talented people I know (I'm sure you'll agree if you saw the flowers at my wedding), incredible mommy to 3 beautiful children and a true friend. Happy Birthday Ambino!

Today is also my mother-in-law, Barb's birthday! Barb loves her family so much and she is always planning fun things for us to do together. She really knows how to enjoy life and I love that about her. It is so much fun being an Ingebrigtsen and I can't wait for all the fun years to come. Thanks for being such a great example and friend Barb!

I'm sure these two women had no idea that they share this wonderful day, but they are both very special to me and I want them to know how much I love them!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU TWO!!!

A Walk Through Sugar House Park...

Saturday was the perfect day for a walk.
We saw a lot of these guys...

And a lot of these guys...

We also saw quite a few shirtless guys...

A super fun time for these guys...

And a great way to spend some quality time with my favorite guy...

Who just so happened to send me this awesome text message on Friday...

Sometimes the best weekends are the simplest weekends.

Easter

We want to wish everyone a late, but Happy Easter. I love this holiday and what it represents. It was so nice to have it paired with conference weekend. It reminded me of how grateful I am for my beliefs and for my family. I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. 

Erik's adorable grandparents. 

I am so thankful for them and for my sweet grandma Shumway.

Grandparents are the best!

Girls Night Out

I love conference weekend because of the wonderful talks and how uplifted it leaves me feeling. 

I also love conference weekend because of girls night out while the men are at the Priesthood session. It is so fun to spend an evening with the wonderful women in my family and all the cute kiddos. 

And you can't beat Sizzler and it's Malibu Chicken. I'm serious, it's delicious!

Don't I have cute nieces and nephews! They are so much fun.

B-Day Dinner

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JENNY!

Thank goodness for great friends

Ingebrigtsen Family Ski Day

If you know me at all, you know how comical it is that this is my third post about skiing. Anyhow, I did marry a skier from a skiing family. This was my first year at the annual Ingebrigtsen Family Ski Day. It was great because it was lovely weather and free after 3 at Alta. Luckily I was able to keep up with the group and I was most impressed with Erik's parents who can both tear it up on the slopes.

Thinking we're way cool :)

It was a great day. 

More Winter Sports

I guess I did well enough cross country skiing that I graduated to the real thing :) Actually, Erik's brother and his wife were nice enough to let us use their passes to Solitude while they spent the weekend in St. George. I did survive and I did have fun - the two goals of the day. Erik is a great teacher and I think he was impressed with his wife's athletic ability... or so I like to think.

Proof that I didn't spend the entire day on the bunny slopes. Erik didn't take me straight to the double black diamonds like my dear friends did back in high school, but I do think I graduated to intermediate level.

Too bad I can't get the video to work, so I can impress all of my skier friends. I'm just glad it was a good experience and now I can say that I have shared my husband's greatest passion with him.
