President's Day Weekend

For President's Day weekend we took advantage of not having school or work Monday and took off to spend time with both our families. We started off in Star Valley Sat morning where my mom and sisters and I had ourselves a little craft girls day. We spent the day crafting away, most of us making fun spring wreaths while the others brought projects from home that needed finished. We always love the idea of getting together and doing crafts but once we get underway, we wonder why the crap we thought it would be fun! HA HA. But in the end it really is fun and I personally think everything turned out really cute!

Sister's crafting...cute.
Good thing you can't hear us all cussing at our flowers. or each other :)

That night we put the boys in charge of babysitting and us girls hit the town! Oh the thrills of having a night on the town when you live in SV. We started the night off by eating out. Usually when the girls are together and we have to decide where to eat... it. takes. forever. We all suck at making decisions. But, lucky for us....this decision was easy. Not everybody likes Mexican, Emily didn't want Pizza Hut, Burger King was quickly vetoed so hometown Hegg's was it. After a very entertaining and yummy dinner we couldn't head back home too soon so instead, what did we do? (Remember we were in SV). We cruised main of course. And oh what a thrilling 5 mins it was!! :) Then, it was time to head home and make sure the kids were still alive and my parents house was still standing. The rest of the night was spent just hanging out, playing some Just Dance, and just having fun. Sunday afternoon as everyone headed to church we skipped out on church (sinners, I know) and headed to Ogden to meet Dillon's family up Ogden Canyon.

The little ones LOVE 'Just Dance'
Even "pintheth sotha" (translation: princess sofa) joins in on the dancing.
Don't mind my face, she farted. Guess it was just too much "hard work" :)
"ROCK ON"

Sunday evening was spent hanging out, hot tubing, and having fun. Monday morning? Skiing of course. Now, I really am not a skier. I skied for the first time with Dillon 4 years ago at Kelly's Canyon in Rexburg for about 2 hours. Then just a few days later I spent 2 FULL DAYS skiing with Dillon's family. It was intense. The next time I went was with his family again in 2010 (only 1 day this time) and then this year. So, I'm really not very good. There is much too long of a break in between each time. Too bad it's such an expensive sport. But, despite not being very good and being VERY VERY sore the days to follow, it was a lot of fun!

Then we got home and it was back to school and work. ugh. But it was a very nice weekend away spending time with our families.
