Weekend in the Beehive State

My Grandpa turned 80 years old this year so my mom threw him an awesome party! We rented a large cabin in Heber, UT and spent the weekend with every member of the Dewey family. It was so great seeing everyone and being all together for a long period of time! We had so much fun learning more about my grandpa.

This is my awesome family and I just LOVE them!

We had to take advantage of the beautiful scenery and take a few shots of ourselves

We were able to spend some time (short but some) with the Lynch family. That was so fun as well. Our nephew Kruz is THE cutest!

Thank you to our WONDERFUL families who all sacrificed to spend time with us and make the weekend one of the best trips we've taken.
WE LOVE YOU!

Bryant Park

Oh how we love New York City in the winter time

This HUGE mug was really filled with hot chocolate and marshmallows, pretty cool!

NYE 2010

We rang in the New Year with some of our favorite people in New York. We felt very blessed as we reflected on 2009 and excited and optimistic for 2010.

Key West, Florida

Tyler should have gone to school to be an architect, he designed a super awesome modern "sand home" for us

Christmas on a Cruise Ship

We had a great Christmas Day. The ship was decked out for Christmas and we added our own touch in our cabin :)

The ship put on a great Christmas show and we enjoyed a fabulous Christmas feast with all the fixings. Despite being away from home and in tropical weather we felt the Christmas spirit

Caribbean Christmas Cruise

Cozumel, Mexico

The excursion that we had booked was canceled due to high waves :( Instead we spent the day at Paradise Beach so we weren't disappointed for too long.

Caribbean Christmas Cruise

Fun on the Ship!

We loved dressing up and going to the shows every night.

My spoiled husband got a new set of golf clubs for Christmas so golf was on his mind and he made us play mini like 3 times.

Our cabin steward made the best towel figures!

Caribbean Christmas Cruise

Miami, Florida

After the cruise was over, we didn't fly out until 10pm so we spent the day in the Everglades and South Beach.

After enjoying and learning about these amazing animals we thought we'd try them fried...not a good idea. Even though it was just the tail, we felt bad (and it was not very tasty)

What a beautiful beach! We could have spent a week there

Ward Christmas Party

Our economical solution to an "ugly sweater contest"

We did win ourselves some trophies. Tyler for "worst fitting sweater" and me for "cutest mug!"

Highlight of the weekend....OUR FIRST SNOW OF THE SEASON!!

The Love Scarf Project

Love Scarf Project (LSP) defined as a bi-coastal project of love for people living with cancer. I thought it was a great idea but me? knit? no, I'm not that crafty...our Relief Society started a knitting group with the LSP being the first project. I went just to socialize but had knitting needles and yarn put into my hands. I fell in love! I love knitting!

57 scarves to represent NYC and 3 of them are mine!! I'm so proud. :)
