Park City

The week after New Years we packed up and headed to Park City, UT to meet up with my two best friends from High School and their families.  We were fortunate enough to get a great deal on a rental condo from a friend of mine.  The sleeping arrangements weren't ideal for 5 kids under 5 (yes, 5 kids under 5!) but we made the best of it.   Two of the three of us had cancelled flights but Alaskan ended up booking us direct with Delta so it ended up fine.  Shannon and crew got super delayed until that evening. The Yosts picked us up from the Airport Thursday afternoon and we headed to the condo-it was super foggy and snowing but we had sun the rest of the weekend!   We unpacked and then headed downtown for a bite to eat.  We went to a cute little BBQ joint and the kids were surprisingly well behaved after traveling all day.



The next morning the boys went skiing so us girls tackled all the kiddos in ski gear and headed out to explore.  I'm sure we looked like a circus! We took the free gondola up to the Canyons village, got a bite to eat and played in the snow.  This was Lily and Piper's first time seeing snow!  They LOVED it! We headed home for naps (or attempted naps!) and then met the boys back up at the village for Apres Ski.  That night we ordered pizza in.










Saturday we rented some skis for Lily and Samuel and hiked out back to the run just behind the condo.  The kids all loved sledding and Lily was a total pro on skis. The three of us headed into town that afternoon to shop a bit, kid free.  That night we hired a local babysitter and went out for dinner.  Park City is such a cute little town and it was packed everywhere! We ate ate Tupelo and then met up with a friend of mine who was in town and a friend of Stephanie's who lives in Salt Lake City at a bar after dinner.








Sunday we played in the snow more and ate lunch up at the village.  Shannon, Stephanie and I went and got massages and then brought back Mexican food for dinner.






We flew home super early Monday morning-Over 20 years of friendship together!  It was so nice to have our kids play together too!

Hopefully monthly blogging won't become a habit.  Life has just been crazy.  April was a big blur. We host a bi annual pick up party at work and for the months of April and October I'm pretty much a working like mad or exhausted from working like mad.  Then it took a week to feel normal again! I'm also working split days at the moment (off on Sunday/Tuesday) and its really not fun.  I can't truly enjoy a weekend and its really hard to decompose on Sundays knowing that I have to work the next day.  Hopefully I only 2 more months of it until Piper can start at Lily's preschool/daycare. Rollie was a rock-star Dad as always, taking care of not only the girls but me too.  I know there were days that I was grumpy and not myself.  They did come to visit me one day during the craziness and that helped! Lily is wonderful 90% of the time and a threenager the other 10%.  It's absolutely amazing what a 3.5 year old absorbs and their tiny little imaginations are just the

May (or better known as my Birthday Month)

I took the girls to the Museum again-it was a hot one! That afternoon we enjoyed some Popsicles on the deck. One night after work we made a Home Depot run and then decided it was too hot to cook so we took the girls to Pieology. We brought bagels to the teachers for Teacher Appreciation Week. We celebrated May The 4th with our Star wars gear. I had a work dinner one evening and we spoiled my Manager with baby stuff for his soon to be baby girl. Lily, Ariya & Ensley had their first official sleepover at Ensleys house. We had framily over for a late cinco de mayo dinner. My mom sent the girls super cute matching dresses. Rollie set up a day date for us in Napa.  We went to Freemark Abbey, Goose & Gander for lunch and then Cardinale.  It was such a lovely day just the two of us.  Janet was in town so she hung out with Piper and Lily went to Kerry and Kristen's and enjoyed the pool and a nap on the Farm.

I have lots to blog about, Chicago, Michigan, our recent weekend in San Fran...but this comes first.  Last week I was doing my usual 'before bedtime Facebook scan', and I came across a post from a High School friend.  Maggie had posted an article about Natalie Taylors new memoir, 'Signs of Life'.  I knew it was going to be released  this Winter/Spring but it had slipped my mind.  I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered it.  I got the book Thursday and I'll be done tonight (I have 2 more chapters to go).  I'm not a fast reader.  Rollie can back me up on this one.  I got about 6 books for Christmas and I've only finished one so far, and I'm in the middle of two others.  Rollie would have had all of them finished and probably would have bought a few more by now. But back to the point.  A little background on Natalie...Natalie was married to Josh Taylor, one of my closest friends brother and someone that I grew up with.  Josh passed away instantly from a
