Spring Break: Corrine, Utah

We were finally able to get together with one of my best friends from the good old college years and her family. We hung out at their place, out in the middle of nowhere, but oh so cool. They had a few tractors, some property, a four wheeler and a BBQ. Another yummy dinner. John BBQ'd some steaks and hamburgers. Mary-elise made this awesome salad with sugared almonds. Oh my gosh, I ate all the leftover almonds like candy. The kids had a blast on the four wheeler, of course. John was so nice to just let them take it over and how fun to just ride it all over with the beautiful snow topped mountains all around.

Catching up with friends is always a good thing. And again, some more cute kiddos. Her little boys were cracking me up. They both came with their own pair of Wranglers and boots, sooo adorable. And yep, a John Deere themed bedroom.


I also posted this fabulous cookie recipe Mary-elise made for us. You have got try them. It could have been that we were just watching her make them and then tried not to devour the cookie dough before she baked them that made them uber super delicious. No, they were uber super delicious.


Good Times!
