2015

Whoa!  I haven't posted in almost two months!  I guess I needed a break after all the end of the year stuff and publishing.  Well, let's catch up.  We have been skiing A TON.  Due to some drama and changes in the ski resort industry we are now pass holders at Park City Mountain Resort.  This double pass is called the Epic Pass.  We love skiing there and have put in lots of miles.  We especially love the snow bugs that are all over the mountain. 

Owen and Ruby still love skiing with a buddy once in a while. :)

Mindy got them these "travel trolls".  They crack me up!

So many of our friends also have the Epic Pass so we have enjoyed getting out with Rebecca and Griffin as well as the Kirby's!

Ruby traded out the one piece ski suit for this new purple getup from Greta.  She is rocking it and seemed to grow up the minute she put it on!  Seriously, check her out, carrying her own skis!  It was just last season that I would carry not only her skis, but HER most of the time because she struggled to walk at more than a snail's pace in those ski boots.  Amazing.

Oh, and bonus, she found two ski buddies in the pocket.  Thanks again, Greta!

This is Ruby sleeping in her eye mask.  This girl is 4 going on 14 in so many ways.  This just really took the cake.  Still makes me laugh.  She picked this mask out of a bin of toys at school for her birthday and LOVES to wear it for "mediations" that we do before bed and to sleep.

OK- this is another run of Ruby photos.  I don't have a preference, but she is generally in a better mood these days still and therefore, is more photogenic.  Owen will grow out of this and into a space where he will want more photos taken...or not.  Either way is fine with me.  Love him all the same. 

Ruby wearing her "PA outfit" to a doctor's appointment.

Cuteness at the grocery store.

Uncle Chris was in town for work, but fit in a day of skiing with us and many other friends.  It was awesome!

Grandpa sent a blanket for each Ruby and Owen for their birthday.  He made a great pick.  Owen takes this blanket everywhere and sleeps with it on his head every night.

Playdate!!

One of my favorite clients and doing therapy on a walk.  We can get to this creek and a trail from my office door by foot.  Love that.

This ski season has been amazing for me too!  More me skiing time taking place than I have gotten in since living in SLC pre kids- 7 years!  Oh man.  Not much backcountry yet, but lots of resort.  Baby steps.

Night skiing at PCMR with Greta and Jesss!  We all loved it and the full moon that accompanied us.

Girl's Weekend!!!  We have been overdue.  9 of us gals gathered up in Little Cottonwood Canyon for some skiing at Snowbird, hot tubing, drinking, eating, and laughing at the Iron Blossom for three days.  So good.

Owen wearing handed down jammies from Finn.  I have a picture of Finn from 4 years ago wearing these same pajamas in this same spot (he slept over our house). 

We caught a Spyhop event at the Rose Wagner one weekend.  They taught us and we got to try out "forced perspective".  I thought it was way over Ruby and Owen's head, but they got a lot of it and here is Griffin and Ruby's stab at it afterwards.  Pretty good if you ask me.
