music monday

i've been loving this song lately. 

i'm not a huge country lover, but there are a few gems. :)

i've been neglecting my dear blog as of late.

maybe its'be because i feel like life is super mundane lately.

or maybe it's because i've found a new love: instagram.

my photos go there instantly after i take them. and don't ever find their way here.

this is my attempt to do better.

we spent the weekend in idaho, and didn't do much. but it was the best kind of break.

i didn't have to cook a single meal. thanks to grandma & my favorite places to eat out in burley.
we watched a few good movies, read a few good books, & slept in to our hearts content.

we also got plenty of niece time in. thank goodness.

love this little lady.

strawberry ice cream=brian's second love. 

he also loves the hunger games. read that book in one day.

her cheeks are coming in nicely. :)

ave doesn't smile for a pictures....

 unless you catch her watching her favorite show, in her favorite chair, with her favorite aunt.

it was a really good trip to burley. minus the speeding ticket on the way.
{idaho cops are the worst kind.....they've never liked me.}

and on a completely different note....(pun not intended)

 and if you haven't heard mr. jason mraz's new single yet. this is a must listen. new favorite song.

happy tuesday. :)

v.tines day.

i wish someone would have told me how great valentines day is as a married woman.

i maybe would have jumped on that a little bit sooner....

haha.....okay. not really.

but i have felt like one special girl the past couple of days.

you know your husband loves you when he doesn't keep the 'valentine gift budget' that we had both decided on. little stinker.

he brought flowers the day {before} valentines. which was my favorite...because i wasn't expecting it at all. 

today he surprised me with dinner reservations, tickets to the vow. & took me shopping to find the perfect perfume.

(he hates every single kind that i already have. rude, huh?)

nothing says love more, than sitting through a cheesy chick flick with your wife.

he even got my favorite treat to go with. (chocolate covered raisins, if you were wondering)

im a lucky lady to have him. 

...............................................

i wanted to post one of my favorite songs, that fit right in with the holiday.

 & i got an email from my dad tonight...it was my favorite song, being sung by my little sisters.
perfect.

they are amaaazing. take a listen.

kina grannis. valentine.
