please accept this festive pic dump as an apology for my lack of blogging

beach days of late

 over the years, i have gone ALL OUT with halloween costumes, and this year was no exception.  johns cloud - so many hot glue-gun burns.  

we used to go more nerdy, see previous years:

2012 - i think this was a morning sickness fail

2013

2014

2015

2016

but this time decided to go more mainstream.  my girls are OBSESSED with trolls right now, just like every other 2-10 year-old in north america.  so you can guess what we were... 

for those that don't know, cora is GUY DIAMOND

honey comes to visit!

the girls are always in heaven when Honey comes!  we tried for the tide pools at abalone cove but they were closed, so we settled on trump golf course, instead.  we saw all kind of sea creatures, including a tiny OCTOPUS.  it had to be one of the coolest things ever.

some of our favorites come for a visit: august and september disney

my sister and her fiance visited us in august.  we have also been having some wonderful (albeit HOT) solo disney days!  we are so lucky that this gets to be our "thing"

utah summer

we hiked up in sundance for the brunt family reunion.  hazel hiked almost 7 miles ALL BY HERSELF

my sister got engaged to the greatest guy, and i got to hide in the bushes and take pictures!  (edit:  1.5 years late and i have yet to edit and deliver those photos to them. FACEPALM)

we went to wheeler farm with cousin claire, i took hazel and cora to the greatest (and most dangerous) parks from my chilhood.

we went on several trips to the cabin, daily to the swimming pool, and for a hike around silver lake. 
look at this pic of cora and pop pop.  i. die.

a disney day with daddy!

wow, a full month of no blogging.  i don't think i have gone that long without blogging in a long, long time!  with instagram these days, i have become less and less motivated to blog, since i can "journal" about my life quickly and efficiently there.  but, since i can't post ALL of my photos on instagram, i still need this blog to post everything.  because, let's face it.  the girls are adorable and each photo needs to be saved, and each moment documented.  

so, here's some disney photos of one of our recent trips.  daddy met up with us after work, as well as mimi and grandpa.  i'm loving getting more and more familiar with the parks and, most importantly, where to feed my picky kids! ;)
