My mom's visit.

My mom left today. She came to visit for 2 weeks. We really enjoyed having her here, we always have a great time together and the girls just love her! Here are a few pictures of her stay here...

Visiting beautiful Main Street in Park City:

Walking outside in the cold made us hungry for a hamburger and a beer...lol

Then we took the road for Las Vegas...

Being back in Vegas was great! So many mixed feelings for me...it feels like home and I love going there. There are so many things to do there, the shopping is GREAT (not so great for my wallet though lol), we have so many wonderful friends there, the weather is nice, LOVE our LPA family there etc...

I have to say though that going also made me realize how much I am starting to adjust to life in Park City. I appreciate living in a world class ski resort town, it is so beautiful, simple and healthy and I definitely realize how lucky we are to be able to live here. I am also realizing how much I love these new friends I am making here...such great people!

We also went bowling with the LPA Vegas chapter. I just love these people, they will always stay our first LPA chapter that we built from scratch...we miss them dearly!

My girls and their dear friend Rachel...they both love her so much and she is a great role model for both of them.

We went to Town Square, one of our old "hang out" place in Vegas:

Had to go get frozen yogurt at our old favorite place. That night the girls were so hyper and we had a little too much fun with the camera!

Another place I used to love going when I lived in Vegas, The District...

There was a guy there with some kind of pet lizard and the girls were fascinated by it...me not so much! lol

That's about all pictures we took...

We had a wonderful and can't wait to see my mom again this summer when we will go there!

Fun with my mom and Valentine's day!

My mom is visiting from France for two weeks. She got in last Sunday. We always have lots of fun when she's around. What's great is that we just "hang out"... no need to do anything crazy for us to have a good time. The girls were so excited to see her! Here they are waiting for her at the airport: My mom and Anaïs hanging out at Starbucks. We have been so lucky to have gorgeous weather these last few days...I did hear it was supposed to snow again soon though.

Yesterday was Valentine's Day and my AMAZING husband had something special planned for everyone. The girls, my mom and I all got flowers, chocolates and cards.

I seriously could not ask for a better husband. He is my best friend, my true love, my partner, my teacher. He is the one thing I have always been sure about, from the moment we met. They say when you meet "the one" you "just know"...let me tell you I KNEW! I might have only been 16 years old when we met but I KNEW, never one shade of doubt in my mind, never!

I love you Jeff!

bowling fun

This morning Anaïs and I went bowling with our moms group. She always has lots of fun when we go bowling!

Here we are ready to go have some fun!
She's a pro, totally knows what to do:

Bowling, cupcakes and a balloon...can't get much better than that! ;)

playtime!

Today Jeff had school so I took the girls to a local indoor playground. We spent a couple hours there and I think it's pretty safe to say that they had fun. :)

Miss Anaïs taking a break to eat a snack:

Today was another typical beautiful sunny day here in Park City, here is a picture I took while driving home:

And here is our neighborhood:

That's it for today...

It's official...

we started serious potty training today! Let's see how this goes...so far so good!

Oh and here is my cute girl today:

Another ski day!

We go skiing every week-end. We have a pretty good system. Sam is in ski school, Anaïs goes to the resort daycare and Jeff and I get to ski the whole day together!
Here is Sam getting ready to start her ski day: Here is Jeff and I:

Here is Jeff who thought it would be funny to do a hokey stop right in front of me and splash me with snow...I swear it felt like a freaking blizzard hit me in the face...thanks! LOL

Great day out there...loved it!

Make up session.

Yesterday the girls got a package in the mail from my sister with some fun little presents. Sam got some glitter lip gloss and some cute bracelets.
Here is what they were doing when I walked in Sam's room...Sam was getting Anaïs all dolled up and was putting lip gloss on her.

Here is Sam showing off her little bracelets:

Yep...I have two girly girls! :)

Disneyland pictures.

We went to Disneyland right after Christmas because Santa had left Disneyland tickets in the girls' stockings this year. We went on December 27th...two days after Christmas and it was INSANE! It was so crowded!!! I must say I am glad we went but I will never go again during the holidays. I didn't take as many pictures as I usually do...
The girls loved the Merry go round but Anaïs wouldn't go unless she was in Jeff's arms.

One of Sam's favorite ride, the tea cups:

The princess got a face painting:

Roger Rabbit, we love this ride for some reason...lol

The castle at nighttime:

One last time on the merry go round at the end of the day:

And here is the result of a long day in Disneyland: two sleeping kids before we even got to the car.
