March 2023

Walking at soccer practice in the cold is more enjoyable
when this is your view!

Getting some tennis lessons in!

Our neighbor stored his fishing boat on our 
lift and we benefited by getting to use it some 
while we were up there over the winter!

The girl loves her some flowers!

Park City Skiing

We went to Park City and skied for a few days!  M was in Las Vegas so the kids and I flew out and met him at the airport in Salt Lake City.  We arrived at the airport at 4am on Friday and the flight was fairly uneventful.  The only squirrelly thing about our trip was that our layover was in Miami - which geographically is really wonky!  

We met up with M, got a ride to our condo, got our skis rented and then found a place to grab dinner.

The kids did ski school.  S was considered an adult for ski school, so she only had a half day option.  C had a full day each day!  M and I would spend the majority of the day on the slopes, him looking for blacks while I opted to stay on only blues!  We made it work most of the time to end up in the same place!  

Both kids progressed in their skiing over the days! S made some older folk friends and ended up skiing with them for a bit after she got done with class. They then joined up with one of the other lady's family who just happened to be DUCK DYNASTY!  What!?!? She was so excited that although she was only going to ski for two days, she opted to ski the third day as well;)

C is naturally a good skier, so when he'd get out of ski school later in the afternoon, him and M would race to get as high up on the mountain as possible and ski blacks back down together!  I would go find S in the condo and the two of us would start getting showered and ready for dinner!

One of the nights we went into Park City because we were on the Canyons side of the mountain.  There were only a few restaurants on the Canyons side, however it was really just a lot easier and faster to spend the evenings where we were and we found some good food too!

Our third day of skiing we woke up to several inches of powder and it was still snowing!  I am not a great skiier and found it much harder to ski in powder.  Then, later in the afternoon, it started snowing really hard and made it very hard to see up on the slopes(especially for those of us who need glasses to see but can't wear them with ski goggles.. ugh!)!  I had proclaimed myself done for the day, but it didn't really matter because they ended up shutting down the lifts because of the weather anyway!

We are sore and happy!  It was a great trip and we loved our time in Utah!  

We've already started to plan our trip for next year!

JV Track Meet at SCS

C had his second and final JV track meet. This one was held at SCS and had more teams participating!  It was considered the Middle School Championship Meet.  He didn't clear as high as he did his first meet, but he still did really well and placed first again!

And, like he did after his first meet, he went straight to a soccer game afterwards!  LOL!

Tennis Tournament

S has been participating a girls' high school tennis league this season and had her first tournament this weekend.  She played three matches between last night and today!  It was a good introduction to tournament tennis for her since it was at her home courts!  She played well and even though she got beat, it'll make her a better player in the long run!

First JV Track Meet

C is not old enough to participate with the varsity at their meets, but SCS has a couple of JV meets each year that he was able to go to!  His first meet was at St. Joe's.  He pole vaulted and won against the other 7th and 8th graders.  He cleared 8' which his coach said is "incredible at his age and experience level"!  

Afterwards, I grabbed him and went straight to a soccer game!

He was pretty whooped by the end of the night! 

But what a great day for him!

February 2023

 

Never a dull moment!

More training!

I got my old tenor sax from marching band
serviced and let C give it a try

Gigi came to one of C's soccer games

M and I attended an event at SCS and got a sneak peak
of the expansion project set to be completed in August!

I'm not really sure why she needed to feed him...
LOL!

Soccer Game

After the track meet, C had a soccer game that Gigi and Grandpa were able to come see!  And C got a goal!!  He doesn't shoot a lot during games as he tends to win the ball and then pass it up to a striker who then scores so it was fun to watch him get the victory of a goal!
