School’s out here in Park City, and I hear kids laughing in the neighborhood throughout the day. We cleaned up the back patio for al fresco living and brightened up the front stoop with big bunches of flowers. The yard itself is full of color with all sorts of blooms and varying shades of green. The sprinkler guy turned on the system and I’m wondering what our garden will grow this year. It’s time to move my hikes from the exposed south side of the valley to underneath the cooler pines and aspens across the way. I got a pedicure the other day and my sundresses are on rotation again. I’ve had my eyes peeled for the first lemonade stand on the block and Oden has two pairs of swim trunks just waiting to get wet. What I’m trying to say is that SUMMER IS OFFICIALLY HERE… and we’re into it! Here are some happy little bits from the week. Cheers!
John caught this eerie beautiful light in the ‘hood.
I made meat sauce for camping!
Look at Oden’s face! He is clearly skeptical of the photographer…
What a view from this stroller stroll!
Vodka lemonade is my jam this season.
You should really make this chilled asparagus salad. The tarragon pesto is so good!
Morning sun.
Dreamboat. Such a charmer!
Blue Apron has proven to be pretty awesome (and tasty)!
This trail is called “Skid Row.”
Wild sweet peas.
Oden had fun at his first concert! So did we.
We hit the gorgeous nursery to bring home some color.
Welcome!
Oden helped me pot some pretty plants for the deck.
Any second now, he’s going to start to laugh. I can’t wait!
Necessary. I usually go for a poppy red shade!
My favorites!
He was not happy with my dress options for a summer wedding.
Our first date night without a baby! (!!!!!)
Bubbly is my favorite. So celebratory!
The bride and groom had PIE instead of wedding cake. Yes!
Is he storing up for winter with those cheeks, or what?
So pretty. So destructive.
A happy sight!
He’s getting pretty good at grabbing for things. Also: ROLLS.

Pork tacos for everyone!
Al fresco baby smiles on the patio.
Summer storm a-brewin’.

Peaceful moments.
One year ago, we were at Farm Fest!
Two years ago, Cholula was loving Grandma and Grandpa’s backyard.
Three years ago, we stayed at this incredible yurt.
Four years ago, Cholula was about to dive into that pond.
Five years ago, I surprised Sarah in Vegas for her bachelorette party!
And this morning, Oden let me enjoy (half of) a hike in peace.
You know. Just the usual bliss.
