Our mini vacation to Park City!

Lance had his long weekend off of work this past week and so we got the kids ready to head to Park City for a fun filled weekend. We knew that the weather was probably not going to be the best, but we didn't care and it was just nice to get away. We found this great hotel online and they were having a special that you can get 50% off the second night. Since it's not ski season right now we got a way nice suite and had a great weekend. The hotel was called Newpark Hotel, so if your looking to stay in Park City soon you should check it out, I think the deal goes till mid September or something but you do have book it online to get the deal. We also ate at my favorite place up there which is Baja Cantina, it's up at the Park City ski resort and it's so yummy!
Anyway here are some pictures from our little trip!


Sadie and Sawyer were so excited when we got to the hotel. I think they were just happy to be somewhere different than home.

They loved their new floaties
They loved splashing each other

Saturday we went to the outlets and Sawyer got this new hat, it has a fish on it and he thinks it's so cool.

Here are pictures of the suite. We loved having a suite so the kids had more room to run and hang out.
Here is the bedroom
The little munchkins checking out where they would sleep. The cribs were a bit small for them, but they still were able to sleep good. Sawyer is not in a crib anymore at home and so I think he felt a bit more trapped! :)
This was the hallway and the kids had fun running up and down it, I am sure the people under us may not have liked that too well, but we didn't hear any complaints! It also had a washer and dryer down in one of the closets it was so nice!
The family room
The kitchen, it was so nice to have this so we didn't have to eat out all weekend.
The fire place was nice to have too, you wouldn't think in June that we would need it, but it did get pretty cold the one night we were there and it was fun to keep us warm.
The bathroom

The kids loved having baths in the bath tub, it was like a swimming pool for them
The hot tub on our deck
One night we went to get Ice cream at Coldstone and the kids had a fun time
Sawyer loved the Oreo cookie Ice Cream we ate
Sadie loved having her own little spoon

A late Birthday post and some Summer fun!

This post is a few diiferent things, first off I need to recognize that it was my wonderful hubby's 30th Birthday on May 19th and I am now just getting around to blog about it.. Sorry babe! Anyway, I had planned a surprise party for him the Sunday after his birthday and he kept asking me if we were having a party for him and I just kept telling him that it would just be family and that I had talked to some of his friends and they were not able to come and he was really bummed out! I wanted it to be a good Surprise so I did make him feel bad and think that no one was coming but it ended up being really good because he was very surprised and happy that all of our friends and family showed up!
The morning of his party it was kinda crummy weather, but during the day it cleared up and I thought it was going to be perfect, well about a hour before his party the clouds rolled in and it started to drizzle! I had planned to have it at the park and so I knew that it was going to be a bummer if it rained. But we went over and set up and everything and people started showing up and as time went on it got colder and colder and more rain came, but we all just hung out under the pavilion and it worked out okay. All the kids still went out and played on the playground and had a great time anyway!
But it was a fun party and I am so grateful to have Lance as my husband. He does so much for the kids and I and I can't thank him enough. He gives me the opportunity to stay home and raise our kids while he goes out and works super hard for our little family. The kids love him so much and love the days that he gets to be home and spent the time as a family. We love you Lance and appreciate all that you do for us!
Here are some of the pictures from that day, I didn't get many as the day was cold and I just didn't take that many.

The Birthday Cake

My cute niece Ireland having some cake as well

Here is some of the Zoo pictures we took. Lance had the day off last Thursday and so we took the kids to the Zoo and they loved it! Here is Sadie watching the animals
Sawyer loved seeing all the animals and they were all out and very active it was great!
Me and my princess!

Here are some of the kids from yesterday, I got the water table out and let them play in that and run through the sprinklers and they had such a great time, It was so fun to watch them play.
I just barely got a new Swimsuit for Sawyer today and so yesterday I just had them wear onesies and the swim diapers. I tried to put Sawy's suit on from last year and it was way to small.
They thought it was so fun to splash each other, they were giggling the hole time.
They had a fun time with the sprinkler as well.
You will notice that they both have sandals on, I tried to get them to take them off to play in the water and neither of them wanted to do that. Atleast Sadie's were Jelly shoes so her's dried fast. :) We are looking forward to more days out in the sun and water, I want to get the pool out later this week!
