clothes for warmer weather

Before we left for Arizona I realized that Ruby didn't have a single short-sleeved shirt in her current size. I needed to find some inexpensive clothes that would work for warmer weather. Of course, I went straight to Old Navy and was so impressed. They're totally killing it.

I wanted to share with you all of the things I got for Ruby, but some of them were already sold out! So, I included some of the cute spring clothes we got and some other fun things. and I just couldn't resist the baby birkenstocks.

And because Ruby will be fitting into 12-18 month clothing soon, this is a combination of baby and toddler clothes. Although some of them do overlap. I was actually so happy when I realized I could start shopping the toddler section. There are so many more choices!

I also picked out a new favorite dress for myself, in grey, which is already working the rotation. It is so soft and comfy, I may wear it every day this summer. If you decide to get it, I definitely recommend getting the tall size (coming from someone who is 5'3) By the way, anyone have any favorites or suggestions for building a mom uniform?

I'm thinking the red romper for fourth of July, what do you think?

lake powell

Jordan says that I posted too many photos on my last vacation post. So, I'm keeping it simple today while continuing to share some photos from our trip. We've now made it to day 2 of our adventure out west.

We stayed in Page, Arizona at a lodge on Lake Powell. Jordan did a great job picking this spot, because it was beautiful. We were able to take things slow in the morning and grab coffee and take a little walk around the lake.

Having a baby on with you while traveling definitely causes you to slow down a little. And we're all ok with taking things a little slower these days.

Just in case you thought Ruby was all smiles.

She smiles with her bottom two teeth. It's the sweetest thing.

These two. I'm so glad that they got some time together after two hard months of not really seeing each other. It seemed like Ruby was always a sleep when Jordan was home. So, she was very happy to get some quality time with here papa, he carried her everywhere.

I can't believe she's so close to walking, she starting to look like such a toddler.

check out the rest of our trip:

golden hour at horseshoe bend

hello! i'm here to share with you the rest of the photos from horseshoe bend. i worked really hard to pair it down to my favorites. which was so hard, because i loved almost all of them. So, there are quite a few. but the best few (ok, maybe 50 or so) Again, these are some of my favorites from our entire trip, so i am very excited to share them.

Horseshoe Bend was one of our surprising spots that we weren't initially planning on visiting until a friend recommended it to us. It's located in Page Arizona, which is in the northern part of Arizona. So, if you are close, we definitely enjoyed our visit to Horseshoe Bend.

It was ideal for families as it was really accessible and totally worth the visit. Even Ruby was interested in the canyon. Although you definitely need to keep an eye on your littles, because it is still very dangerous.

If you haven't checked out the first part of this post, you can check it out here. I posted photos of our little walk to get to this beautiful place. You were able to barely see the canyon of Horseshoe Bend in the photos, let alone the river.

I couldn't quite capture the entire 'horseshoe' with my camera. I'll find some if the photos Jordan and I got on our phone to share as well. In the photo above you can see one half of the horseshoe. I have better photos of it below, so just keep scrolling! :)

We visited right at golden hour (the hour before sunset) so everything about this place looked incredibly dreamy. There were so many photographers setting up to capture photos.

I love these photos Jordan took of Ruby and I. I couldn't settle on just one. He's turning into quite the photographer. And he's also learned to take a million photos, which I don't mind! Anyone else's husband relate to instagram husband? haha

In the photo above you can see most of the horseshoe. The river goes entirely around the rock formation.

This part of Arizona, well all of Arizona is beautiful, and different and so unlike the midwest. I especially love the red rock here. We visited Arizona at the perfect time, because there were plants blooming, and lots of green splattered around the desert.
