Park City

The day after my family all left Utah and went home Ryan's family started coming. His brother James and Rob and their families came, then Jane Anne and Cobly came a few days later. We stayed up at the Marriott on the mountainside for the weekend and had such a great time. We went to dinner at Grub steakhouse Friday night and partied all day Saturday. We got up and exercised, then went right outside the front door to the Alpine Slide. I didn't have room for Livy to go with me because of my big ole' belly, so she went with Grammy Sue and was more than happy to go on the big slide. I was so nervous with her on the ski lift though! She was such a wiggle worm and I was a nervous wreck. But she absolutely loved the slide. She kept yelling, "Yee-haw! Ride on cowboy!". 

Then we hopped on the merry-go-round and we didn't get the "dog" one fast enough, so the orange little reindeer had to do :) Once again she yelled, "Yee-haw! Ride on cowboy!". She is such a crack up.

Then we spent the afternoon out at the pool next to the beautiful mountains. Livy loved swimming with all of her cousins and Grammy and Grandpa. 

It was fun to all be in the same place and let all of the cousins run around. Livy loved playing with some older cousins, and they loved her tagging along.

Loving and missing these sisters of mine. I wish California, Utah and Texas were a lot closer together. 

Ragnar: No Shame

I was so excited to find out in December that I was expecting our second baby...but I was so sad knowing I couldn't do the Ragnar this summer with my whole fam! Van 1 was 6 of my cousins, and Van 2 was my hubby, 3 siblings, and two of their spouses. I was so happy to get this pictures from Melissa from their crazy 27 hours of running, sleeping, and eating. They placed 44th out of 1390 teams, which is pretty amazing!! The team name was "No Shame", because when you're on a Ragnar team there truly is no shame in anything you do. It's kind of like saying "what happens during Ragnar, stays in Ragnar". 

This is Ryan after conquering the huge Ragnar hill, basically he ran 4 miles up a mountain. 

The whole team.

Family Pictures

I really really like this beautiful family of mine. Taking family pictures at almost 8 months pregnant wasn't something I've really been looking forward to. But taking pictures is all about remembering how things were at the point in time! I think all the pictures turned out pretty good for using a tripod and a timer on our camera!

Swimming after party

The Ragnar runners finished with a great time finishing 44 out of 1390 teams. They were all sleep deprived and physically exhausted but came to a fun swim party and BBQ up at the Jackson's. It was fun to finally all be together again. The kids absolutely loved it. 

The Princess Festival

Saturday morning we went to the Princess Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Livy was looking forward to it all week. I had Lucy staying at my house, and those girls were so excited to wake up in the morning and get all dressed up like a princess. 

I heard a few people as we were walking around say how cute my "twins" were. But I guess it'd be easy to think that since they're the same height, same hair color, and I did their hair the same wearing their little princess dresses. 

We watched a few short little skits. And all the girls had their own little books that the princesses could sign. They seemed to love it. 

 Livy is holding the Evil Queen's poisoned apple. 

It was a good way to spend our morning, the girls seemed to love it, especially Livy since she stills prays "thank you for the princess festival".
