Park City!

We love spending the day in Park City riding the Alpine slide & coaster.  We went when 

the Granum's were here!  It is seriously so beautiful, i am always amazed at how green and lush it 

is in the summer.  Hayes and Olivia were almost tall enough to ride by themselves on the coaster

but they didn't want to on the slide.  Maybe next year.

We ate lunch at our favorite pizza hot spot, 'Main Street Pizza and Pasta' and then went to 

the Birchall's to play in their swim spa and party room.  The party kept going all day long!

these two loved going together on both the slide and Coaster.  Boston was a good sport.  Liv is 

actually a little adrenaline junkie like him...

Cory & Hayes!

the cutest little bff's ever!

Park City Snob...

Boston has improved a ton this ski season.  He has been doing sweet tricks

at the terrain park in Park City, and loves going with the bland boys.  He rides

the ski bus that picks up down the street from our house on Saturdays and 

then ski's all day.  He was super close to getting his backflip!  Let's hope he doesn't get to 

crazy this next season, or else i may have a heart attack.  

He took some cool video's on his go pro and these are just some of the pictures from 

his iphone!  

Reunited and it feels so good!!

Our Besties from Hawaii, The Granum's moved to California!!

 It had been almost 2 years since we have seen them. too long!!

The first thing on the list when moving to california was visiting Utah! yahoo!

We pretty much did everything you could possibly do in the winter in Utah.  It was a 

warm week, so the sledding & skiing were still so amazing.  We spent every day with 

these guys!  My kids still had school, so I let Boston miss one day and then the twins

had early out on friday then we headed to Park City for the weekend. 

It was such a fabulous week.  We piled it all in.  first things first... Cafe Rio!  We pretty much ate 

there daily! ha!   

We hit up Lowe's xtreme air sports, Provo beach resort, our favorite Restaurants,

 Flowrider {hayes' first time} Karaoke night,  girls lunch @ tortilla bar,{YUM} sledding, 

tubing, snowmobiling etc... we partied.  Hoping maybe they would move back to Utah. {wink wink}

Love these guys, and love watching the boys grow up.  It's crazy how fast 

time goes by.  Our kids always pick up where they left off, never a dull moment.

  

I loved how these boys got to have their own time with Ivy.  

They all adore her and she loved all the attention.

Park City...

Gorgoza park

This was possibly the cutest thing i've ever seen.  They had little kid snowmobiles and t

hese guys LOVED this so much!!

ivy goes skiing...

My little Ivy is only 4 and of course we took the day off to start skiing!  I let Boston miss too 

{He's on the Honor Roll} and it was a great day! We Love Park City, 

It's the best place to learn,  Ivy rode the Magic Carpet most of the time, 

then i talked her into riding the chair lift, since we had Corporate passes!  

She did great and surprisingly did well without the edgie wedgie that i forgot at home! oops!

so glad she had fun, and we had our own time together.  

i can't wait for the day that everyone can ski together!! were so close {wink}

Park City!

   we have had a very mild winter this year and we are DYING!  we are the family that 

actually loves the snow to come and love our Utah Skiing!!
  I love skiing and when the day that all my children are skiing on their very
own i will be oh so happy!   

{seems so far away sometimes! ha}

When we finally had the first snow storm of the year {Jan 23rd} we jumped at the 

opportunity to take our kids to ski some fresh powder!  you can imagine how 

excited they were to know that we were skipping school to head to

Park City for the day! 

Boston loved that they had the terrain park right next to the lift we
 were taking the twins down.  This was their first time skiing ON THEIR OWN!  

yes, finally they are skiing!!ha

We love Park City!  

It's one of my favorite resorts.  It's very family friendly with wide open ski runs!  It's also 

great for my 12 yr old who was bored {after the first two runs} to ski down some 

expert runs that were packed with powder!

The weather was GORGEOUS that day {major +} we were all sunburned when we got home!
Utah seriously has the "Greatest Snow on Earth!"

fall break

In beautiful Deer Valley!

we went with our friends the skousen's and stayed in her parents cabin {crazy beautiful home} 

for the break!  It was beautiful weather, the kids all got along just perfect and we ate so much food! 

 marisa is an over achiever in the kitchen and the food was not only delicious but so so pretty! ha 

we played plenty of basketball, air hockey, x box, lots of games, 

and sat in the hot tub & sauna every night! 

the mom's did plenty of cooking and baking while the dad's went on a bike ride!

thursday we all went to lunch at the 'blue Iguana' in Park City and then off 

to ride the Alpine Coaster and flying eagle!

friday we went to an awesome Indoor pool with slides and diving boards. 

where Boston and Cameron were doing every sort of trick off the hi dive! 

they make it look so easy. 

saturday we headed home and went to the BYU vs. Idaho State football game.

we sat in their box seats with them and had a Blast!!

Did i mention i LOVE fall...

ivy was not too happy to go on this, but don't you worry she was 

just fine and fully enjoyed the coaster.

we made some cute "owl" cupcakes...

marisa and her cafe rio night!  yummmm

yah we had some 'dance off's'...

 Olivia and Kate surprised us by jumping off the high dive for their first time!

we cruised all over the deer valley resort on these babies... it was the Most fun!  

oh and the kids loved it too.

it was nice to get away and enjoy the fall colors.  i love playing card games, baking goodies and snuggling up to a good movie.  

thanks Skousen's!!

BYU vs. Idaho State...
