Do I share?

My caramel apple. Do I share? My tart, granny-smith caramel apple? My caramel apple that has been rolled in almond slivers? and drizzled with milk chocolate? Do I share? I've already eaten the two slices from the right side. Do I share the rest? I admit I already ate one caramel apple (rolled in mini-M&M's) while Lovey & I were in Park City this weekend...I did not share that one...

(Post post - I didn't share. And I'm OK about it too)

We're coming home to them!

We've only been gone since Friday afternoon, but sometimes even the short trips seem L O N G when we're away from our littles. We can't wait to see our littles - Rebecca & Mary-Gail absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their Daddy and Daddy knows just how to make them laugh:

Open-Air Market @ Park City

Park City kicked off it's eco-friendly open-air market on Historic Main Street today (Sunday, 6/14 - 9/27). Last year's Park Silly Sunday Market was the first "Zero Waste" program in Utah, where everything is recycled (including discarded food!). Prior to heading back to Provo, Lovey & I cruised main street to see what the Park Silly Sunday Market was all about.

The Zero-Waste canisters

The can on the far left is were discarded food goes - it is donated to

a local pig farmer who then processes it & serves it his pigs.

There was a kid jazz-band playing - they were pretty good.

A picture just for my bro-in-law, Spencer. Didn't know he had his own BBQ

Shopping, Shopping, Shopping

We browsed the outlets Saturday: we picked up two cute dresses for Rebecca & Mary-Gail & two cute tank tops (4 items for under $20!); I picked up a pair of shorts, and Lovey bought some new dress shoes. Nothing exciting @ Banana Republic, Ann Taylor, or Liz Claiborne. Wish these designers would put sleeves on their shirts!

Lovey & I were reminiscing on our previous weekend getaways to Park City:

Our First trip (October '07); Our Second trip (December '08). Both of us concluded that weekend getaways are a MUST!

Park CIty Weekend

Lovey & I are on a lover's weekend getaway to Park City. We left our sweet Kuties in the care of the Kemp's, traded the Mercedes wagon with Dad for the BMW 535i, opened the sun roof and headed North for a 3-day, 2-night stay at our favorite hotel, the Marriott.

Lovey surprised me before our trip by taking us to get a pedicure, one of my favorite treats. I tried to talk Tony into putting a clear, gloss coat on his tootsies, but he declined with a smile. No matter - I chose a bright, summer color for my tootsies: O.P.I's "Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot!" (OPI seriously has the best nail polish and the best names for the polish).

We arrived in PC and stopped at our "regular" food spot for a bite. We shared chips'n'salsa + guacamole, and I had a cup of black bean soup. We walked hand-in-hand to the Chocolate Factory for another of my favorite treats - Carmel apples. My Lovey treats me so well.

Today we slept in (until 8:30am), ate breakfast downstairs, and then toured PC & Deer Valley. There was a mountain biking competition which we watched for a while, in awe as the bikers climbed & climbed the mountain side. Lovey reminded me about the snow-shoe race I had him do with me & my family less than one month after we were married: I bailed on him after 5 minutes demanding that he "go and get the car!" That was 9 1/2 years ago and we haven't put snowshoes on since.

Park City is going GREEN

Snow...it's mid-June! That's what's left of the jumps and the half-pike

Chrismans are always welcome

Rebecca & Mary-Gail and I are always thrilled when we have visitors. And we love it when JoJo comes by with her little bunch. We were treated with her visit on Monday, 6/8, where we shared Go-gurts, played in the backyard, enjoyed playing with toys in Rebecca's room, and Jo & I loved watching little Taylor Bug and the girls converse.

Delicious!

Taylor Bug asks, "Are you going to eat yours Rebecca?"

Taylor loves to swing


She is such a miniature JoJo


And speaking of JoJo - what a beautiful, fun, active, & loving Mom!


Look @ these girls' legs! Oh My!

Triplets wear purple pants & stripes

Can you believe that Jo & dressed our babies in the exact same clothes? We didn't even plan it!! Of course, the clothes are the same sizes: 3T tops and 2T bottoms. Cutest little cousins ever!!!

Triple the fun...?

A Blurr

The girls have turned our tub into their bed - their "jumping" bed. Rebecca & Mary-Gail gather the pillows from our bed, line the tub, and...KOW-A-BUNGA! Rebecca is mainly a blurr, and Mary-Gail, well, she just tries to jump before Rebecca "helps" her jump!
