After numerous trips back and forth to the airport,
we were sad to say goodbye to the last

of the girls here for The Color Run Weekend.

Those are some beautiful faces...well, Cal's is questionable!

Studio C Cast Members, Whitney & Steven,

put on an incredible fireside tonight!

Abby called it #besttimeofourlives!

 I love their great examples & the perspective they shared.

The Color Run!

This classy lady is the reason we are all so well connected.

Love & admire her beyond words! 

 The Sisters

 There's one rule-you start clean, but you finish dirty!

Four Happy BFFs

 The luckiest Mom!

 I think we followed the rules pretty well...especially my FACE!

#smurfette

 I'm so glad this blue could be the source of so many laughs...all day!

 Fun, Happy, Day! I am so blessed.

This was a packed day filled with hiking Red Rock Canyon, 

eating Capriotti's sandwiches, & hitting the town

for some sights & Frrrrozen Hot Chocolate!
Cal was in heaven hanging out with all the girls during the day!

We met almost the whole crew (minus my Mom & baby Kate)

for treats at Serendipity.  Gorgeous girls!

After months of planning, preparation, & anticipation...

It's finally time for the Girls Color Run Weekend!

We are stocked up at the rental house with LOTS of food, treats, & some colorful signs.

Super Spies

One of their Favorite Games

This little cheerleader mimicking went on for a lo-ong time during the games today.

I'm pretty sure he's not a cheerleader-in-training, but he was pretty dang cute copying her every move.

(He loves this girl, J, in the picture.  She gives him a hug at every game & he tells me

daily how cute she looks with her face & her braces.  Seriously.  

I better find some really stinky cologne for him to wear until he's

back from his mission.)

We finally had our Annual Valentine's Party!

(it was only 3 days late :)

Heart Pizzas (homemade this year)

Minute-to-Win-It Games

Heart-a-Stack

(the record was a stack 11 hearts high in 1 min.)

Marshmallow Toss

How many can you get in your cup in 1 minute?

Heart Pick Up

How many can you get on your plate using chopsticks?

And the crowd favorite of the night...

The Chocolate Fountain!

This picture says it all.

We were so glad the Shepherds could join us!  

They are awesome friends & neighbors.

Happy Belated Valentine's Day!

My valentine & I dusted off our old boots & danced the night away

at the Warm Springs Stake Western Dance!

The food was good, the decor was out of this world, (check out that life-sized cow!) & the music was reaaaallllly retro/classic country if you know what I mean.  

I missed you Garth, Taylor Swift, etc. etc.

Five of our doors were heart attacked this month.

A new heart added every day with one thing I love about Mick & the kids.
Boy, am I lucky & definitely in love with this crazy crew.

This girl might be the happiest person on the planet tonight!

She earned the Cheer Stick (a super-cute, personalized, stuffed DWMS cheer dog)

 & some of the cast of her very favorite show, Studio C, are coming to our area for a fireside!  Even though she is a Beehive, she has permission to go from the Stake YW President.

(Serious hyperventilating going on!)

Every day when I pick these two up, they take the road less traveled back to the van.  

I learn a lot from them.

  (Fun memory of Bree's outfit today-she laid it out so carefully last night and was ecstatic because everything was so matchy matchy!  White undies, white undershirt, white skirt, white shirt, white jacket, & white socks.  Unfortunately, the white church shoes were too small!  Ha Ha! Gotta love it!)

February Blossoms

Extremely Beautiful (and very stinky, actually)

Definitely God's handiwork with all those intricate details

Lucky me, I was given a little bouquet from the cutest four-year-old around.
