Happy Birthday Grandma Dixon!

Scott's grandma turned 90 in April so we all surprised her at a birthday dinner! She only thought Utah people were coming so it was fun to walk in with Scott's sister from New York and his brother and wife from LA.

They're a seriously good looking group so I hope my kids inherit those genes from Scott!

It was a really fun and too short weekend! Happy birthday!

Mid-Week Hike

 The other week I had a random day off so Scott spent the afternoon with me hiking. We went out to Sunol and went on a beautiful hike. It was so fun just to be outside and see the pretty views that nature has to offer. We were going to take the long hike but decided to make it shorter. In the end we were very glad we shortened it since it still took 3 hours and we were potentially lost for the latter half.
Note to self: when going on a hike take an update map, not just an old hiking book!
Here are some pretty pictures:

I also have some handsome treking poles although I'm not sure if they helped or hindered. Perhaps a few moments of instruction on how to have them help you would be useful...

 

 We saw cows everywhere which was fun but I was always worried about being trampled. As much as I love the country I am a city girl at heart.

A picture to prove we were there together and made it back to where we started!

This year we've talked about doing a lot of hiking so I hope this isn't my last hiking post!

iPad Casualty

I know you've all been hoping for a huge close-up of my face so I decided to comply this afternoon.

Last night I was trying to get situated in bed and started moving the blankets around. I flipped the top blanket and up flew the iPad, landing on my face! Seriously, it hurt so bad. Can you believe that it started to bleed too?! As much as it hurt it was hilarious.
