Rest and relaxation is a must!

Every mother needs to take a break and pamper herself! Shaeli and I had been planning a trip to Glen Ivy Hot Springs in Corona for a whopping 5 months now. Finally, it happened! Thanks for such a wonderful day Shae!! We noticed as soon as we walked through the doors of the resort, our fast paced walking immediately ceased! We meandered through the resort while feeling a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out what do to first. After soaking in a mineral bath for 20 minutes, we headed over to Club Med where we enjoyed covering ourselves in red clay. Took me back to my childhood days. I always loved playing in the mud! Now, time for the baking process! Quite attractive...don'tcha think!

Next on the list...The Grotto. Time to take an elevator ride underground for a refreshing paint job! We had our bodies painted with a mixture of Sea Kelp and Aloe Vera. Then, of course, time to relax again. We enjoyed the humidifed room, then onto showers and finally a cool relaxation room.

By the time we were done with the special treatments, we were off to lunch and then it was time to lay out at the pool! We had such an amazing time. Neither one of us had ever been that relaxed before. Let's just say, functioning today has been very difficult. Everything is getting completed but much slower than normal! For those who have not been, you MUST go...and remember on your birthday...it's free. That just means I'll be back next month! Woo-who!

Outstanding times two!

Last week, we had our Stake Court of Honor. Ethan loves scouting and has worked very hard over the last 6 months earning 9 more merit badges. We are so proud of him! During the Court of Honor, a new contest had been developed to boost work within the troops regarding training, campouts, merit badges earned, etc.etc.etc. As a ward, we were excited when the Mesa Linda Ward was awarded Most Outstanding Troop in the Victorville Stake. The next moment, made me cry! Ethan was awarded Most Outstanding Scout in all of Victorville Stake. What an achievement for him and for us! He has put his heart and soul into scouting and was so nice to see him credited for his accomplishments. You can tell he's all smiles!
