Here Comes the Gown

While in St. George I spent a day with my dear Aunt Susan. We were talking about my Grandma Luella and she mentioned that her Wedding Gown was currently in a wedding gown exhibit at the St. George Art Museum! The below gown was hers, she was married in 1947. My Aunt Susan wore the same gown at her wedding in 1987.  

There were gowns from every decade from the past 150 years! 

Oh I am such a sucker for historical textiles. Here were some of my favorites.

Thanks Aunt Susan for the amazing afternoon!

Sweet 27th Birthday

Oh blessed 27 years! This past year may be one of my favorite yet! For my birthday we planted my patio cactus flower garden! I still have not taken a picture of the finished project, but I plan to do that real soon. I also got red bamboo knit material from my mother in law that I made into a dress to wear on my birthday! :)

5 Months

Oh mercy, things are getting fun with this little girl. I seriously cannot believe how fast she is growing! She just turned 5 months. Here are a few favorite things from this past month.

Spring break staycation!!

Oh what a joy semester breaks are! We decided that we would have a nice stay-cation 

and just enjoy the local fair. I don't know if this really counts, 

but San Diego is pretty much in our back yard, so we went for just two days! 

The very first stop was the new Mormon Battalion Museum. 

As fate would have it we ran into four good friends from Bountiful! 

We spent the rest of the night with them and celebrated Angie's birthday 

with "hot hot churros" in Old Town

We stayed in a pet friendly hotel on Dog Beach :) There were little dog showers outside the beach access. The next day we went to see the San Diego Temple!

 And La Jolla Cove to see the seals and marine life

And finally La Jolla Shores and enjoyed the beach before heading home. 

San Valentin

Happy Valentines!! We just went to a little baby Valentines Day party and they had a 

photo set up, the pictures turned out so fun!!

Of course, with friend Vivian:)

4 Months Old

This little girl is getting so big! She just turned 4 months and it is amazing to see her grow!

She has started to be so much more coordinated with toys and with holding her self up.

Little Swimmer

Hubbard Swim School offers free swim lessons to babies 2-6 months. I was surprised how much fun it is and Cora seems to enjoy it too!

And Cora's best friend Vivian:)

Also, it has been warm enough outside to start swimming! Here are the girls just before jumping in.
