A California Fourth of July

For the Fourth of July, we made a last minute decision to fly home to California for the weekend. It was a good choice. We had a blast shopping, eating, partying and enjoying our long weekend with the family. We sung "Happy Birthday" to The United States of America, a tradition we started a few years ago, and blasted Lee Greenwood's "I am Proud to be an American" singing at the top of  our lungs every chance we had.

Two Places I recommend trying if you haven't eaten there yet and are in the area:

The Farm for Brunch at The Grove in LA (holy amazing stuffed french toast)

and

Gulfstream in Newport Beach, just order anything on the menu, it is all to. DIE. for.

Tomorrow we leave for Las Vegas for the Easton family house boat trip at Lake Mead. We are very excited to have a nice, long vacation with the family!

See you later Alligator

Birthday Weekend

Travis turned 24 this weekend, so in honor of his birth we took a trip to park city for the weekend. We stayed here at the Waldorf Astoria and it was so relaxing and beautiful I never wanted to leave! 

Travis' favorite meal is a good steak with mashed potatoes so we couldn't pass up a delightful birthday dinner at Ruth Chris in Park City now could we? We also did a temple session in Salt Lake, hung out by the pool, did a little shopping, hit up CPK, saw a sneak peak of Knight and Day and had a wonderful and relaxing weekend! I cannot wait to go back to the hotel, it was one of my all time favorite hotels! And if you ever get the chance to stay there, get the egg's benedict for breakfast, it was a pure taste of heaven and you will not regret one bite!

The sexiest birthday boy I've ever seen!

Our camera died so we only got a couple of good photos off of the iphone! Oh well!

In other news, we are going to California for the third time this month!! So much fun and we love seeing our families and can't wait to move back soon! 

Italian Cooking

Tonight was the first night of my Italian Cooking Class! I thoroughly enjoyed myself and cannot wait for the next four Tuesday evenings as I will be exchanging pilates for pasta on a quest to learn and enjoy Italian cuisine with all of its bold flavors and textures. 


My new diet: No carb left behind!


Buon Appetito!

The Sandlot

Happy Memorial Day from the Scera Pool, where the infamous Squince pulled a move on the life guard in "The Sandlot."

Provo is oh so cool.

Diaries of a Foody

Here is a problem: When family of friends come to visit, you consider it a "vacation" to eat whatever you like while they are here. After all, what kind of hostess would you be if you didn't? A boring one that's for sure. So you hit up all the finest Provo has to offer and you do so with no regrets. Feeling so justified in these piggy ways because you have to be the good tour guide. Where is the problem in that you ask? Here it is: Here at the Easton Establishment we seem to be having visitors every other weekend these days. Holy cow... literally.

The recent visitor (AKA Diet Sabatoger) : The Jan Claw. She spent the weekend on our blow up matress in apartment #28 and we partied. Magleby's breakfast, in-n-out, Letter's to Juliet, late night private party for 4 at The Slab ( oh SOOO tasty), Series finale Lost sob fest (To which I spend every night since discussing the show with my husband until the wee hours of the morning. Call me crazy, it was THAT good) Don't let me get off track...and then we ate some more...like A LOT more. This happens every time someone comes into town. I love it. I hate it. But mostly I love it.

We miss you Jan Claw, but my bootie thanks you!
