Red Rock Retreat

Yoga Weekend

I was luck enough to go to my first Retreat the first weekend in November. I headed out of town just after my Yoga class on Thursday morning and arrived in St. George about 4:00 . The Home was amazing the food was to die for and the Yoga was everything! We Practiced about 4 to 5 times a day and after the first day my muscles were so sore I wondered how I would make it till Monday. The good news is the time for Rest and meditation was always available. I am discovering so much more to my love for Yoga than a year ago. I am loving the concentration and awareness, I am finding. (hard to explain unless you do Yoga) I am able to focus better set goals and keep them, be aware of my needs and others by being present and so much more! Oh and I am super flexible, lol that is a bonus of all the Yoga! Lisa Smiley is awesome, she was the host and we learned about chalkras and mudras and pranyama and oh we even had a day of silence! It was so interesting. My take was Wow the world and our lives sure get muddied up with chatter! We also unpluged, which is so lovely and something I will implement into our lives. Great experience and so in love with the Guy that took care of everything here while I took care of "me"

Halloween Fun

Halloween is always one of my favorite Holidays, It was warm and beautiful. Our Kids were so cute and excited, even Sage and Hannah still get into the spirit of the day, Sage dressed in Hannah's Cheer outfit and Hannah was a Drill girl. They have trick or treated for over 10 years together. Max and Mason went without daddy this year first year ever. We had a nice dinner with Grandma and Grandpa Hughes and britt and Chris and Dana. Jack was the cutest Panda ever! We love him so much!

Happy Birthday Max

Believe it or not max is TWELVE. My sweet boy Max. Can I tell you how much I love this boy. He is such a kind hearted and sensitive kid. Max is one of a kind he is a middle child through and through. Max is the heart and soul of our family he really is a peace keeper and helpful and respectful. He is showing signs of preteen attitudes lately, which is frightening but all part of life I guess. As long as all of our children are better teenagers than I was then we are very lucky. Max got straight A's and just got ordained a deacon on Sunday. I love that Max will still cuddle and needs a kiss goodnight every night, he is the first person up and the first to bed every day. He will do almost anything you ask him to. I love that he is so well liked and seems to get along well with kids at school. I love that he is so much like Brett and he is the spitting image of him! I love you Maxwell!
