It wouldn't be a good time in life if it didn't involved some girls' nights!  Thank goodness for a sweet husband who always indulges me for my need for girl talk and a break from Mommy life!

This was yoga night at church. As you can see I mainly went for the refreshments. HA!

This was Jen's birthday! We went for ice cream and stopped at CVS for some lady items on the way home. Of course a photo was needed to document these shirts! haha 

Happy birthday Jenny Boo Boo! 

This was fondue night at Bachelorette at Amber's house! I was very pregnant and told everyone I would wear my nightgown and DID! I also drizzled chocolate down my face like a pro. lol

Love these ladies in my life and miss them lots now that we are gone! 

Port Aransas Girl's Trip

Since we don't see enough of each other we decided to go on a girls trip in September! It actually was a much needed momma break for all of us since no boys or babies were allowed! We headed down to Port Aransas for a little 3 day getaway and it was perfect. We ate junk food, stayed up way too late and recharged our batteries. I swear there is little that can't be fixed with girl talk, Mexican food and some fresh air! I sure am lucky to have these ladies (and my other ladies-2 girls trips in 2 weeks, I am so spoiled!!) in my life! We rented a little VRBO and it had a nice pool and wasn't too far from town.

This was my first time away for a night from Nora! I used this weekend to officially wean her! She had been nursing just about 1 time per day and it wasn't super consistent. We thought since I would be gone anyways this would be a good time! Jason and Nora had a great Daddy Daughter weekend (separate post to come). It was hard to be away from her but also a nice little bit of freedom! We still FaceTimed and I got to see her cute little face.

And now for the most selfies you have ever seen....It's a talent, really.

Allisa, Cami, Amber, Kasee

I was very excited for the top bunk!!

Seafood for our first meal! 

Pizza for dinner! 

Cami and I are being "on a date" here! 

Brownie sundaes that were on point! And Amber's beautiful face!

It's not Fiji but I'm grateful that we have Texas beaches just a few hours away! 

My "wish you were here" face to Jason :)

Selfies in action

We are being "birds" in this shot. Except Amber didn't get the memo. hehe

Candy shopping

If you ahven't noticed the theme here we mainly ate, went to the beach/pool and sat around chatting (and no photos of that!) 

Swimsuit Models! :)

Catching some waves! 

Love this happy action shot of the "huge" waves

                                                   Maybe the only real photo of the 4 of us! 

FaceTime with my little sleepyhead! 

This was my first time away from her for more than just 12 hours! 

We are planning these girls trips until we look like these girls! 

Goodbye selfie on our balcony with great lighting! 

Cami must be wearing her shades....

Our last selfie at Texas Roadhouse on our way home! Perfect trip ladies! 

When can we go again?

Girls' Trip to Boston!

A few weeks ago I was lucky enough to take a little weekend trip to visit two of my favorite ladies. I flew into Boston to see Jessica, our 8 month pregnant friend and Molly came the next day from D.C.

Jess and I started our trip right with Five Guys burgers, a little shopping and of course, some cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory (and loads of girl talk).

 The next day we went to the airport and picked up Miss Molly. So happy to see her!! Then we wandered around Boston a bit before ending at this cute pizza place called The Upper Crust. (p.s. prepare for picture overload!)

 Our beautiful host!

 The famous Boston Commons

 H&M Trip!!

 It was so fun exploring the beautiful city of Boston even if it was a bit chilly!

 For dinner we headed to the delicious Giacomo's for some amazing pasta. It was perfect!

 Waiting in line to get in!

Then after, of course, we had to get some cannoli from Mike's Pastry just across the street. 

 

The florentine...the only way to go!

The next day we slept in and had bagels before heading to the historic town of Lexington. 

 I loved the trees and fall colors everywhere!

Then we headed to Cambridge and Harvard for the rest of the afternoon! We met up with one of Molly's friends, Kelly for lunch and a little walk around Harvard campus. It really was beautiful and fun to be in such a historical and famous place.

 This was my studious face! haha

We got frozen yogurt that night and saw Pitch Perfect which was quite funny (if you can look beyond the unncessary throw up scenes...ugh!)

And on our last day, Sunday, we went to Stake Conference where we were lucky enough to have Elder Neil L. Anderson speak to us. We lounged around the rest of the night and made homemade pumpkin pie. Then Jess made us a delicious fall feast while I played with Watson.

I never wanted the trip to end! Thanks for a great time Jess and Molly! Jess, thanks for opening your cute little home to us and to being our tour guide. Molly, late night talks and morning snuggles never get old. And Jess, I can't wait to meet the mini-Jess! If she is anything like her mother, she will be beautiful, kind and just plain enchanting.

Nice to see you, Boston, I look forward to our next encounter!
