Sun Valley Getaway

Eric and I were fortunate enough to get away for the weekend to Sun Valley (big thanks to my sis for coming up from UT to watch the kids!). Despite the freezing temps and my terrible cold, we managed to relax and enjoy the time away together! We ate good food, walked the town, soaked in the heated pool, and of course, skiied! The scenery of the Sawtooth moutains didn't hurt either! It was breathtaking!

Almost 3

Our little guy is sure growing up and I'm not sure how I feel about it! He is so stinkin' cute though and says the funniest things. For example, we had a pretty hilarious conversation the other night while laying on the couch together. It went something like this:

Carson: "Mom, what is that?" (while patting my boob. Sorry if this is TMI-too much information)

Me: "It's Mommy's boobie."

Carson: "Then what is that?" (patting the other one. I know, lovely. My 3 yr old is coping a feel!)

Me: "It's my other boobie."

Carson: "Where are Daddy's boobies?"

We had a good laugh on that one!

Heart of Idaho award

A friend of a friend of mine nominated me a few months back to win the "Heart of Idaho" award at the Mrs. Idaho America pageant Sat. night. It is awarded to someone that inspires all through Faith, Courage, and Love. Well, as luck would have it, they chose me to be the recipient of this year's award. They gave us 4 VIP seats, so I dragged 3 friends with me to watch the show. We had a good time!

Green smoothies

In addition to juicing, I have started to make "green smoothies" everyday as a meal replacement for either breakfast or lunch. I use 2 or 3 whole, fresh fruits (mostly bananas, oranges, pears, apples, blueberries), then I add 2 large handfuls of leafy greens (like spinach, romaine, swiss chard) and lastly, I add 1 cup of frozen fruit (such as strawberries, mangoes, pineapple, peaches) and blend it up. Oh, and I add a scoop of protein powder and a cup of water too! So delicious and nutritious and very filling!!!
