Park City Mountain Resort

We took advantage of no school on Friday and went to Park City. We skied the Park City side this time. It was a good variety. My little skiers are getting faster and more confident. It’s fun watching them improve!

James was with friends at Brighton. He skied from 9AM to 9PM!!! AND he went skiing Saturday from 9-4!! I’m glad he enjoys it so much.

Boys Bathroom Cabinets

Each time I paint cabinets I learn something new. When I painted the girls I put the primer on pretty thin and it worked out ok but you could see through it to the wood. So for the boys cabinets I decided to put it on thick enough that you wouldn’t be able to see the wood. It dried with big ridges and was a huge pain to sand smooth. It took forever to sand each door and drawer. It was so discouraging and frustrating. The paint went on fine and I’m happy with the end product but I was still so frustrated with the primer. It is so thick like pudding. I think I liked the Sherwin Williams primer better or maybe I just need to put the Lowes primer on thinner?! 

Music Room

The music room got an upgrade this week! I am super happy and excited about it! 

We inherited a piano that was Marshall‘s grandparents. 

After his grandparents passed away the piano went to his aunt and uncle. They recently decided to downsize so they offered it to us.

We had a piano awhile back. It was one that we found for free. It wasn’t exactly tuned and it had a few broken keys but it was great considering it was free. Then a few years after that we bought an electric piano. We still have it and love it. We have a lot of fun playing preprogrammed songs, different tones and sound effects. We will definitely keep it but it got kicked out of the music room.

There is nothing like a real piano, the weight of the keys, the sounds, and volume. Now I can rock out playing Newborn by Muse just like Matt Bellamy, sort of.

70th

We celebrated my Dad’s 70th birthday!!! It’s funny how 70 seemed old when I was a kid. It doesn’t feel old to me anymore. 

We went to La Jolla Groves for dinner Saturday night. Only the adults went to dinner and it was a very nice night. Lots of good conversation and amazing food!

We had a party today on my dad’s actual birthday at my parent’s house. You can never have too many get togethers with my family. 

I’m so grateful for my dad! He is a great example  to me!!

3rd Cabinet Redo

The girls’ bathroom was next on the cabinet painting list. I’m getting lots of practice in before I take on the kitchen cabinets.

I forgot to take a before picture. I was just so excited to get going and completely forgot. These pictures are from Marshall’s phone before the bathroom was done.

After

I went with Repose Gray. Same as the art room. I love how it turned out. Huge thanks to Marshall for helping me paint and installing the hardware!!!

 

Ski Day

The minis and Kade get 5 days at Park City with the Epic School Kids pass. James has the IKON pass with his fiends. Marshall and I decided to get some passes so Lynnlee, Marshall and I could go with the minis to Park City. It is my most favorite resort. 

Today was our first day going for the season. The weather was awesome! No one was cold and the snow wasn’t slushy but also not icy.

Getting everything packed up for skiing is a lot of work. Getting everyone’s gear on is madness and all the kids are whining and complaining about now everything feels and every little discomfort. We see everyone’s worst side while at the car getting ready. 

Then we get in the lift and everything is good again. Everyone is happy and life couldn’t get any better.

Everyone was in their comfort zone going down the east green runs. Then we took them down a blue and the minis were terrified. It was rough. 

I took them back to the bunny hill and they were good again. Marshall took Lynnlee and Kade on the blue runs.

Crazy Hair Day

Crazy hair day can be too high maintenance. Thankfully each of the kids chose something that took a minute or two. 

The boys just wanted hair color sprayed on. We only had pink, gray and black.

Sienna’s was my favorite. I love how it looks and it only took a few minutes.

Pickleball

We played at Club Pickleball USA with our Get Out Pass. Ali, Katelyn and Drew came as well as  Grandpa Lowry. It was a fun place but really loud. 

Sienna played half the time and then took pictures. 

We had three courts. We rotated around after each game.
