Cassie Marie Smith: April 2011

Today is my little niece Elliott's 1st Birthday!
I cannot believe she is so big.

(my first time meeting her about a year ago)

(about a month ago on my way back from DC I had a day to spend at home)

Happy Birthday Baby Girl

I had Spring Break a few weeks ago and I took the week off work and headed to DC
to play with my friend Chareese for the week.
Let's just say I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

lots of diet coke with a splash of dr. pepper with chips and salsa at Rio Grande

we discovered Pinkberry in Virginia and made 2 trips there

(chareese might kill me for posting these pics)

my sad face over my pinkberry being gone

my first temple session at the DC temple with 2 of my favorite people

Georgetown cupcakes, lunch at Rio Grande, all with my lifelong friend Tracie and her kiddos
(Eliza and I with our cupcakes)

Last night there doing my favorite thing: walking around the monuments at night with new friends.

It was an amazing week with more pics to come.
sleeping, eating, treats, museums, movies, girl talk, no stress, shopping, seeing my favorite nanny family from DC, and plenty of laughing.

a few months ago 2 of my friends and I bought a groupon for bootcamp.
it was for 4 weeks, 3x a week for $30.00.
we signed up for 5:30 am meaning i am up at 4:50 am 3x a week
never was a morning workout person.
however, i LOVE it!
we are in week 4 of our groupon,
and
we will be paying for an additional 4 weeks
it's so good.

We had an auction in our ward where members auctioned off services.
my friend Angela bought "Ivan's Mexican Fiesta" for 5 friends.
3 courses. salad, main course, and amazing flan.
we cleaned our plates... thx
