Younique Retreat Part 2

My room - so sweet! Home away from home. My room mate choose the smaller bed leaving me with a huge king size bed all to myself. The colors were my favorite - blue with browns. The bathroom was clean and perfectly perfect. The room and bathroom were very important in helping me with the anxiety I was having about being at the retreat. I didn't know what to expect and so to find a place so relaxing and comfortable was a huge bonus!

Younique Retreat Part 1

I had the most amazing experience ever... 

I filled out an application to attend a Younique Retreat.  I was picked within weeks and invited to go to Springville Utah to a cabin up in the Hobble Creek area.

My Younger Husband

My younger husband always jokes that he is 4 years younger than I am but he too is getting older - Happy Birthday my red bearded man!

Getting older and greyer too

Ugh getting older means looking older too. Girls are also getting older and they love braiding my hair - which sometimes makes me feel younger. LOL

Church is fun...really!

Church is fun...really! The girls enjoying their activities at church. Seems like this is the only photos we have for January - must be exhausted from December

Children and Technology

Children and Technology
 Right there in the title it says NO with NO apologies... ha ha ha
My kids are NEVER getting a cell phone UNTIL they are old enough to have a job, make their own payments BUT they seem to think that if they come up with enough reasons I might cave in and get them a cell phone for Christmas-

Good luck with that kids ha ha ha!

 Speaking of getting older...
They are getting old too fast - Sarah went off to 5th grade camp for 3 whole days - I missed her : ( 

Old addictions

Back to old addictions...collection Fisher Price because the children never tire of these toys!
