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.

Viva Las Vegas

When my husband decided to go on a little ski vacation with his brothers, I didn't waste any time planning a weekend getaway of my own. Good thing Vera is always up for a quick vacation. We flew to Vegas on Friday morning and packed in 2 days of fun and relaxation. It was wonderful! 

After a full day of shopping on Friday, we had a delicious buffet dinner at the Bellagio.


Loved those crab legs!

After dinner we went to the Bellagio atrium display. It was an Asian theme and it was incredible.








After an evening on the strip, we decided to switch things up and spent Saturday morning at the Las Vegas temple.





And last, but certainly not least we went to a Cirque Du Soleil show on Saturday night at Treasure Island. It was awesome. They do such amazing acrobatics and make it look so easy. It was very entertaining.


It was such a fun weekend. Thanks for a wonderful time mom!

And here's what my husband spent the weekend doing:


We had very different but perfect vacations!

It's Official!

My little bro is getting hitched! I could not be happier. We love Eliza so much and can't wait for her to join our family. I also can't wait for another summer wedding. Let the festivities begin! Love you two :)

Who said I don't do winter sports?

After a long day at work on Saturday (busiest day of the year for massages) Erik and I spent a very relaxing weekend at his cabin in Woodland. The highlight of the trip was a little cross country skiing excursion. Although it involved snow and skis, I thoroughly enjoyed myself. It was a beautiful day and the scenery was incredible. My in-laws were all very relieved that I returned home in good spirits, seeing as they are avid winter sports enthusiasts. 










Yes, my jeans are stuck to this barbed wire fence. I'll leave the details up to your imagination.
Overall, a great day!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's weekend everyone! We celebrated with a little dinner at the Dodo with Eliza and Jeff.



And the Valentine's Day movie. The movie was exactly what you'd expect and a great little flick for the weekend of love. Hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
