Justin and Me in Mallorca, Spain

With the urge and kindness of our friends we finally took a trip just us for more than a night. It was awesome! We missed the kiddos of course but it's incredible the difference of traveling in Europe with and without kids. Every couple needs to do this once in a while.

We went to Mallorca, Spain, which is an Island off Spain in the Mediterranean Sea.

We booked through a travel agency - they booked our flights and hotel. We booked a day of adventure and left the rest up to what we wanted to do when we got there.

 

 

 

Waiting for our flight peacefully. Usually we'd be entertaining kiddos.
 We found a church to go to. It was in Spanish -- took Justin back to the mission days. I felt the spirit.


 View from our hotel -- not amazing but not bad eh?


 Neither of us had ever been interested in just laying on the beach to tan, sleep or read, but we must be getting old because we wanted to and did. We also got a message on the beach. A day of relaxation!
 Day of adventure - we did a Kayak, cliff jumping and hiking tour. We kayaked to a few small islands and hiked to see the ruins from Roman and Spanish rule.







 A night out on the town. We went to down town Palma de Mallorca to see the Cathedrals and such. There was a singer on the street. We stopped and listened. He was quite good and it was fun to join in on.


 A day of exploring other places on the Island. We drove a ways to a different cove. Quite the windy roads.

Engineering Lab vs. Hawaii

Image
It's Friday night of Spring Break and we are sitting in the Engineering lab ...... Justin watching March Madness and me blogging.  Some people may think it's a little on the boring side, but I have to say we are both quite enjoying ourselves.  As Spring Break approached we were under the impression that we just might be welcoming our baby boy sooner than later. On March 6th, I was dilated to a 2 and 70% effaced..... the Dr said he could be here in 2-3 days or 2 weeks. Justin and I had a couple of sleepless nights after hearing this. Jumping at any sign of labor -- makes me laugh now.  The days have passed by with few contractions and no real progress. I have to say my emotions have been all over. At times I so want to be done being pregnant and have this little boy in my arms and then the next minute I am soaking up the time Justin and I have left to easily (well 9 months pregnant easily) hop on the motorcycle for a ride up town. After reading, lear...

Nashville, TN - January 30 to February 1

Image
Justin passed his check ride with flying colors and he had a couple days off. So, we took the chance to go to Nashville, Tennessee! Our friends Trevor and Keely Park live there and we thought it would be a fun place to go see. Most of Justin's time off has been spent in Utah with family, which we love, but it was nice to be just the three of us The trip was 5 and 1/2 hours - that's w/o stops. On the way there we made it in 7 hours and on the way back we made it in about 9 hours. Let's just say we're good to not have another road trip for a while. Sam was a champ despite the long time in his car seat.  Our first stop was a science museum - we were there for 3 hours. It was fun for all of us.  These are parachute men Sam could move up and have them fall back down by using pullies.  Sam loved this T-Rex. It moved and made noises. Yes it scared him at first but Justin was good to explain it to Sam. Each time we passed it, which was often, we would be there for ...

Having Twins

Image
For the past month I have had twins! Well, kind of. Leo spends his Monday - Friday from 7:30- 3:30ish at our place and is 1 month younger than Sam. I've never really desired to have twins and I still feel that way, but it has been quite a learning experience and a lot of fun to have our friend Leo join Sam and I. Sam has thoroughly enjoyed having a playmate. I considered the pros and cons as I pondered and prayed about if it was right for our family and the pros weighed out and felt right. I love being a stay at home mom, most days :), and did not want to steer in any direction of not giving my full attention to my kids (right now, Sam) at home. It's so easy to forget the importance of the work at home and desire the success and accomplishments of the world. So easily I can compare my worth to what I bring in money wise or what projects I finish. Being a mom, some days you don't get much of anything "done" even if you feel exhausted at the end of the day, and I ...
