I can honestly count the homes that I have lived in on one hand since I was little
so moving is a really big deal for my family!
My parents have been building a home for about a year 
and we were so excited to see it all come together. 
It turned out so beautiful.

Ryan and I went from the Dominican Republic to Houston, 
and then Houston to Salt Lake City in a matter of 24 hours.
It was pretty crazy.
*Remind me never to fly alone without my husband after that many hours on a plane.

I flew to Utah to help my mom decorate her home and put it all together for 2 weeks.
It was a such a dream!
She has such a knack for decorating (seriously she should do it for a living) and I tried to learn from her  and her designer as I went.

I came away from the whole thing obsessed with 4 items.
Trays, florals, pretty decor books, and candles.


Living Room Tray


Tray on Laundry Room Island


P.S. the candles are fake. So pretty.



Tray on Family Room Ottoman


Master Bedroom Dresser Tray

(Also notice all the floral pieces, they totally brighten up any room)


Here are a few places that I have been recently with my mom and seen pretty trays.

Alice Lane carries GORGEOUS trays (and unfortunately very pricey)
Z Gallery some smaller pretty ones.
Gatehouse Furniture a good variety.
AND Marshall's Home Goods! YES Marshalls.  You have to look, (and keep checking) but they will have them!
(which is where I will be going to find my tray's ha)



Pretty walls.


Yes Ryan is front and center.
Oh how that child is loved.


These are bits and pieces but seriously I was in heaven putting it all together.
My husband doesn't understand the excitement that comes when I see pretty home decor.
Ha boys.

A dream came true for my husband this day.
If he could, he would travel the world to golf every course on earth.
We golfed Punta Espada.
It was probably the prettiest thing ever.

We pulled up to the most beautiful driving range I have ever seen.
Ryan was in heaven.
He is obsessed with any type of ball but has a special love for his golf ball and plastic clubs he got for his first birthday.
($6 clubs from Walmart:)
His first "REAL" golf course.


Marrying into a golf lover family-
I like to dream that I'm good at golfing ha
But I'm not, so I take pride in my cart driving.


My mother in law immediately started teaching Ryan how to "tee it up".

We brought his plastic golf clubs from home (seriously recommend that for any other baby golfers!)
and he went to town.


I adore them.


One thing really cool about this course-
It was required that you have a Caddy.
Aaron was pretty excited when the Caddy congratulated him on some shots.

The caddy told us about the American celebrities he has caddied for on this course and who was good and who was terrible. hahaha


Caddy even helped Ryan out:)
He was a sweetheart.


My husband was in heaven.


Ryan and his apples.
 I had to get a picture because he has an obsession. 
Every day he says "mamma Bapple"
He will eat a whole apple (all the way to the core) almost every single day haha.
Between Ryan and I, we might need to grow an apple tree.


Just a 21 million dollar mansion on the course. 
WHAT!?


This was my very first experience with an "all inclusive" resort.
We stayed at 'Sanctuary Cap Cana' in Punta Cana.
It kind of felt like a cruise!

There were 4 different restaurants to choose from for dinner.
Italian, seafood, steak house, or a Japanese food restaurant.


Such a beautiful day.
Thanks to Aaron's wonderful parents, we received the best graduation present.
We all grabbed our passports and took off to the incredibly gorgeous Dominican Republic 
the day after graduation.
(Aaron had 6 days before his bar prep courses started and we took full advantage!)


(I spy with my little eye, Ryan)
We stayed in Punta Cana and had our very own slice of heaven for a week.

It was seriously a dream.
A really beautiful dream.




The water was the bluest I have ever seen in my life,
and the beaches were the softest white sand my toes have ever experienced.
Prepare your eyes, it's so beautiful.















Sun kissed (or burnt) and one tired baby later,
talk about a perfect end to a perfect day.
