Mother, Daughter Weekend

So last Friday, my mom and I drove to California to Palm Desert and we met up with my sister to have a girls weekend! It was so much fun. My dad was able to use hotel points because he travels so much for business, and he was able to get us a nice 2 bedroom condo for the weekend! It was really spiffy. My sister is 6 months pregnant so we had fun talking about how we are going to spoil this little baby boy. My dad had also surprised us with a ginormous Edible Arrangements bouquet when we arrived! Yum! Saturday we drove to the outlet  malls and spent most of the day walking around shopping which is a favorite past time of the girls in our family. I was able to get a bottle of my favorite perfume, and a second bottle for a price cheaper than one bottle by itself so I was pretty excited about that. I also got a new purse which I love! After shopping, our feet were pretty sore from walking, so we went to get pedicures. We had fun relaxing and getting pampered. After that we headed back to the condo and decided to check out the pool. We donned our swimsuits but when we got there they had no towels! So we decided just to put our feet in instead of trekking back to our room to grab some towels. Then we went to Red Robin for dinner and went back to the condo, my mom had brought lots of crafting stuff and so we got to work on decorating candles, making headbands and clips while watching movies in the background. That was prolly my favorite part! Which is strange because normally I am not a crafty person. 
I was sad to leave on Sunday but I was also anxious to see my poor hubby who was by himself and quite lonely. I was glad that I could have a girls weekend with my mom and sister, we are hoping to do it again next year which will be fun because my sister will have her baby with her! So that was out mother, daughter weekend :) enjoy some pictures now!

We're still alive

Hey guys! Or anyone that actually reads this blog haha. Well so far I have not been very diligent in keeping up with posts on my own blog, but I have been keeping up with posting on my brother's missionary blog! So here's what's been going on with the Colvins lately. 
We finished our finals and we passed our classes with flying colors! Ok, maybe not that great but none of us got C's. That was part of the reason I didn't blog a lot because studying was taking up so much of my time! Now we are currently babysitting 4 teens while their parents are on a cruise. I have babysat these kids since they were little! It's been fun to spend time with them and learn the ways of teenagers. So that has been what we have been up to. Not very exciting but now that it is summer hopefully life will be more exciting instead of writing about school. Oh! I got my first sunburn of the summer and I forgot how badly it burns! Jacob commented that it's weird that I'm red and not albino white haha.
