Skipping stones

Yesterday my little family drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon had a little picnic and the hubby taught Max and I how to skip stones. I know what you are thinking "taught you to skip stones? You are 30 years old!!!" But alas dear readers I am not much for the great outdoors. I am not designed to be outside! Have you seen how pale I am? But I digress Our picnic was delightful and the very large blue birds that joined us were also lovely company. I also have to say Mr. Fei is a heck of a stone skipper (he was a boy scout after all) and by the end of our evening little Max and I weren't too shabby!

Amber/Max/Mommy fun day

I've been so bad at posting but I did want to post my day last week with my mommy and Max. The 3 of us don't get together as much as I would like but we did have such a great day. I was even able to convince Max to spend the weekend at home with me (he usually prefers to spend it with his Grandparents!) We had lunch at the beehive tea room which is so charming, went shopping, and then to the cupcake bakery. I feel really lucky to have the relationship I do with my Mom and also for the one I have with Max. Not at all traditional but very honest in both cases. Salt Lake is such a great city- I love those days when you get to just wander around to see what it has to offer.

I can't resist a few more!

I'm not even going to lie there may be more to follow! Thanks so much Jim!

Sunday brunch and Family Pics

On Sunday we decided to get some brunch with my mom and her wonderful husband and do some family pictures for our Christmas cards. Max breaks my heart! He looks so old! I know I am not a fair judge but he just may be the cutest little boy in America!
