Day at the Spa

Gina, Nick's sister got us gift certificates to a spa in sugar house called Breathe for helping her out with painting her house. When we arrived we were given a mini tour then we were directed to the changing rooms where we had lockers personalized with our names on it. After changing into our robes and slippers we went and waited in the "Tea room" where we listened to relaxing music with a warm pack around our necks while munching on pretzels, cookies and these delicious creamy chocolates and sipped on warm apple cider. Following that we were lead into our massage rooms were we enjoyed an hour of a deep, total relaxation massage. It was amazing and a great way to just relax and forget about everything! It was also a great pre valentines celebration. Thank you Gina!!

Prezley Killpack

bath time
Just taking a little snoozer


After much begging and bugging and compromising and some more bugging I finally convinced Nick to let me get a dog. His name is Prezley Nickolas Killpack. I just decided his middle name and I am sure Nick would approve. He is a great addition to our family even though I want to strangle him sometimes for being a hyper, biting, chewing, pooping, peeing puppy. Secretly I think Nick loves him though he will never admit it. Who cant help but fall in love with a face like this?

Snow covered slopes one day, Sunny beaches the next

Nick and I have been taking full advantage of my Christmas break. A few weekends ago Lindsay, Jeni and I went boarding at Canyons resort even though there was absolutely no snow we still had a great time! Later that night the husbands along with Hil, Alyssia and Crystal joined us and we went to eat at Red Rock and sat in the hot tub at the condo where we spent the night. It was yet again, so fun to hang out with everyone (well almost everyone) and catch up.
The very next day Nick and I left for our cruise to the Bahamas. This was Nick's first cruise so I got to introduce him to the joys of cruising... although I am not sure he would agree with that statement. We both had a great time but he is not sure he would go on another cruise. We did a lot of relaxing while we were there but at Key West we went sea kayaking which was a TON of fun! We saw a bunch of weird sea creatures which we got to touch and pick up. I can't wait until our next cruise together. Right Nick? :)

Burr Lake ha!

and up....falling.....fallen.me!



This past weekend Nick and I went up to bear lake with a few friends were we played games, ate a ton of food and did a lot of necessary catching up. One of the days we decided to hike to this little lake that was about 45 minutes from bear lake. We were all there enjoying the beauty of the lake when Jesse and Nick find this rope swing on the other side of the lake. Nick goes on it a few times, then Jesse goes a few times and by this time we are all over by them and Nick decides to go again.... this time wasn't so graceful. He swings out, his foot goes through the hole tied on the rope and he is caught on the rope as it swings back and forth. We are all laughing at this point when all the sudden Nick falls COMPLETELY in. ha ha It might have been the most entertaining part of the trip. Well that and Nick trying on some neon work out clothes from the 80s that were at the cabin. It was a great weekend and I can't wait until our next trip together.

Proud Parents.....?

We have a new addition to the family. I didn't want to tell anyone that I was pregnant because we were unsure of the babies health but as you can see it's a healthy baby boy. Everyone keeps saying how much he looks like Nick. Nick is so proud of that fact. We couldn't be happier with our new little one and to be new parents.




Nick giving him some loves
p.s Nick might divorce me for the cheesyness of this blog. especially since I had to beg him to take these pictures but I couldn't resist. That thing is hideous!

A little town called Midway

No I don't really have a lazy eye
Stairs leading up to the Crater

Daytime inside the crater

Nick and I went to Midway this past weekend and stayed in the Zermatt hotel. Whoever thought to put a Swiss town in the middle of Utah was ingenious. Who wants to travel to Switzerland when we have our own Switzerland right here? Apon arrival and check in they gave us these delicious truffle balls covered in cinnamon and sugar and I am not huge truffle fan but I could eat a whole box of those. Then we went to the town's attraction "the crater" which is basically a volcanoe looking things with warm water in the center that people can scuba dive, snorkel or even just swim in. However we did not get the opportunity to swim. Instead we went to dinner and ate some yummy gelato after. Why execise when you can eat? We had a good time and hope to go back soon.

Hiking....sort of

This is me using my photography skills
This is what I imagine Dog Lake looks like...if only we kept going.


One more and I am caught up. Since our wedding is over and summer has come to an end and I am back in school and Nick is on business trips we haven't had the chance to get out and do much but we did go hiking the other day up big cottonwood canyon. Our destination was this lake called Dog lake.. but we didn't see any of dog lake. We hiked in a good two miles and half or so and called it quits cause we weren't seeing it. Once we got back to the entrance we noticed on the sign that it said it was 3 miles in. If we hadn't given up and just gone that extra 1/2 of mile we might of actually seen Dog lake. Moral of the story, don't give up. We did get some pretty sweet shots though.
