On weekends…

Why does Monday get here so fast?? Why! 

Anyway…The Boy & I went up to Christmas Mountain this weekend with 9 other people to go snowboarding. For those of you who are really good at it I want to give you a hug and maybe bake you a cake. I was awful…I spent the entire weekend falling and getting back up! BUT I will not give up…I will conquer that bunny hill one day! 
So here are some photos and a video of my amazing snowboarding skills(for those of you who did not follow me on Instagram) 
The first night….

The only picture I managed to get on my feet! 

Breakfast was a task w/11 people! 

Hanging out 

The whole group! 
and then the video of me….
How was your weekend?? 

That one time…

I never show anyone pictures of me as a kid….not because I wasn’t cute because I was adorable(of course) but it takes too much effort to dig through that giant box of photos my mom has under her bed and then to try and scan them.

So since I took a couple minutes the other day to dig through and take some crappy iphone shots of photos of me as a child I thought I might finally do a #throwbackthursday and so show you all the cuteness…

Yep…that’s me in a park somewhere in Chicago with all my fatty rolls hanging out 

How could you not love that face?? 

A prime example of the types of things my mother would dress my sister & I in 

At some point after these photos we lost control of my hair. From then until about 15 I had no clue what to do with the mess and just let it run the show. Maybe someday I will share those photos too….
