Good Times We Cherish...

Ethan and I were able to go to Utah for the 4th of July weekend and we had such a great time!

Ethan got to go golfing with his dad and brother and I got to go shopping with the girls (my mom, my sisters and my neices) on Friday when we arrived! It was so great to have MAN and WOMAN time! We spend so much time together it was nice to go do each of the things WE enjoy seperately!

We also got to see my brand new nephew, Bowen, which I was dying to meet. He is so freaking cute! Maybe I'm biased and since I don't have any kids of my own, but this baby couldn't get any cuter!

Saturday the 4th of July we spent the day with my family going to the parade, BBQ, and of course fireworks! It was such a fun time!

Sunday we were able to go to Ethan's parents and have Ethan's suto pre-birthday party and catch up with great friends and family. Thanks April for doing that for him!

Monday we were lucky enough to spend some quality time with the entire Duke Clan minus Clint and Craig's family (we missed you) and go up to the lake. It was so nice, except for the stupid wind that was crazy. I got to ski, Ethan wakeboarded and we rode the tube with neices and nephews. So much fun and such a great way to spend time with one another! Then we sadly had to say goodbye on Monday night and fly home.

It was such a fantastic weekend and I'm so glad we made the last minute decision to go! Plus Utah was amazingly beautiful while we were there. It was amazing! Everything was green and lush. It was a perfect trip and I can't wait to go home again!

Sweet sleeping Bowen! I was too busy holding him while he was awake I forgot to get a picture of him so everyone could see his HUGE adorable eyes!

Looks like you guys had a great time! Funny we switched places that weekend, we were in Cali and you guys came to Utah… Maybe we passed each other on the way!
