Park City-Deer Crest

My work sends all the girls in the office away for the weekend to Park City. This year we were able to rent a home at the top of Deer Crest. It was simply beautiful. There were five bedrooms each with there own bathroom and two additional bathrooms. Two living rooms, a game room, theater room, and all the amenities that we could have asked for.

This is the view we had of Deer Valley ski resort from the back of the home.

This was the view of Jordanelle Reservoir from the side patio.

We did so many things this year. We usually don't do things just relax but this year Lisa brought plenty for us to do. We also had to massage therapist come in to give us all massages.

Here we are doing some crafts. We all made plaque type signs out of wood and paper and modge-podge. They turned out great.

One of the girls even got eyelash extensions.

We did our own glitter toes. A few of the girls were missing in this picture.

We made Kabobs for dinner the first night.

This was the apron that was in the home for me to wear. I cut all the veggies and the meat and let the others do the rest.

This was the result.

For our first breakfast we had beautiful crapes with fruit and ice cream and homemade syrup.

Then we went out to dinner to Cisero's before we went to Thriller.

This is my new amazing friend Shannon, she is such a cutie.

This is the gang at dinner. We took so many pictures that the other people we getting irritated, I think.

Then Thriller. This was great and they had cast members walking around in the lobby before the show. Here I am with two of the girls.

This is Courtney with one of the other girls.

We had such a great time. We played a few games and got to know each other lots better. It just keeps getting better each year and It Is What It Is.

Thanks Girls!!

Vegas `10

This year of our Annual girls weekend to Vegas was great. There were no babies and nobody was pregnant. My cousin joined us for the first time in a long time and we had a full house.
There's nothing like laying around a pool for three days and just relaxing in the company of family and friends.

Very special shooter night.

The oldies but goodies trying to get in a few chapters.

My tatted sleeve. Washable markers were the hit this year. Never knew they could be so fun.

This was the award winning tattoo and hair-do.

We celebrated Karri's 31st birthday while we were there.

Thanks again ladies for another memorable weekend.

Feeding time

I decided it was time to let Brylee start to get familiar with utensils and start feeding herself. This is one of her first attempts. I figured oatmeal is a bit sticky and would stay on the spoon pretty good.

She did a pretty good job.

It wasn't till she tried to cheese for the camera that it ran down the front of her neck.

Lets just say she was a mess when she was done.

Preschool

Maycee's first day of Pre-school. She was so excited to go to school, she could hardly wait.
Here she is in font of the house where her school is held. The teacher is a friend of the family and was just as excited to see the kids as they were to be there. She says it is better than Christmas for her.

So cute with her backpack on.

They all got name tags and were coloring pictures while the teacher talked to the parents.

After we got home. Each child got a goody bag and a balloon.

I still have a hard time believing that she is big enough to go to school, but I am so ready for a couple hour break.

I sure hope that the rest of the year is as exciting for her.

BaCK to SchOOl

Here it is. It's finally time to go back to school. Here is Kimberlen on her first day of 3rd Grade.

Such a silly smile.

One of the only people I know that gets to talk on the phone before school.

We also made some cookies. These were so fun. It was like playing with Play Doh and that is what they were called.

Showing their creations.

Yummy Yummy!

AZ trip

Desiree and I took our kids to go visit with our Grandma for a week - here is the result. These pictures are all out of order, but I am sick of trying to get it right. We had such a great time. We drove at night to Las Vegas then during the day to Cottonwood, AZ for 2 days then to Phoenix for 2 days then back to Cottonwood for 2 days then during the evening back to Las Vegas then during the day back home. We decided during the day was much easier, but all in all the kids did great.
Here they are on the way home. The other two in the back were sleeping at this point.

Swimming in Las Vegas.

More swimming.

And yet more.

I think it was sick, it never flew away.

Brylee thought it was really neat.

Driving over the Hoover Dam.

Sleeping on the way to Las Vegas.

Someone always had to lay on someone else. That was the hard part.

Brylee was sleeping in the car still.

Great Grandma and Brylee.

Sleeping on the floor at Grandmas.

The two little ones always wanted to sit with Grandma.

We enjoyed spending time with our loved ones, but it sure is nice to be home.
