Um Yeah

What can I say other than Finley is rapped around grandpa Steve's little finger. But come on, is that not the cutest little bike you've seen? It has the same sticker kit as all the other KTM's sitting in my dad's garage. I love it!

Love is in the air

Valentine's was great this year. Simple and nice. We started out the day by having toast and hot chocolate for breakfast. Next we went cross country skiing and it was beautiful! I wish I would have had my camera. The snow was lightly falling and everything was crisp and fresh. Later that day I tried to get a pedicure but every place was booked up. On a good note though I was able to get fresh Chocolate Dipped Strawberries. MMM I love them. The gifts were simple, we bought each other gym passes. Brian was a sweetheart and got me two caramel apples (which I love) as an extra treat. And of course a simple arrangement of Tulips.  That night was actually got a babysitter and went to dinner. Now dinner wasn't just the two of us. We went with Brian's parents, brother, and his sister and her husband. Some would laugh at that but it was nice to go out with them without Fin. We went to this yummy restaurant in Park City called The Last Samauri. It is a Japanese Steak House and was some of the best food I've had in a while. Thanks for a great day honey, love you tons!!

New Hobbies

Imagine that we have another hobby to add to our list. Since we have moved to Heber Brian and I have gotten into Cross Country Skiing. Let me tell you, it is a complete work out! I should admit that Brian was the one to get into it at first. He got all the gear for Christmas has gone 3-4 days a week. It is his 'winter training.' (Don't worry that the bike race season starts in a month) So I thought I'd give it a try and I love it. I love that it is cheaper than downhill skiing, another great outdoor workout, and is something that all three of us (Brian, Me and Finley) can do together. Brian gets a double workout by carrying Finley in the backpack. She loves it!  She loves tell (more so screaming) in his ear, 'Faster Papa, Faster!' She just loves being outside in general. On top of cross country skiing, we have got passes to the local gym. We've never done that together either. I go to spin, yoga, and other classes while Bri loves the big indoor climbing wall. They have a great daycare that Fin hangs out in. It even has a mini climbing wall for the kids. It feels good to work out and add different activities to the routines. 

We've Moved!

Ok so I haven't updated our bog in a while, but for good reasons. We finally got moved into our house. I will get pictures on once it's all put together. Thank you to all of you have helped us move! I promise this will be the last time for a few years. Don't worry that this was our 7th move in our 6 years of marriage. What can I say? I like change. 

Heber is a great town and I love how low key and quiet it is. Yes it may be 15 degrees colder here than what it was in the city, but that just means I get to use more of my wardrobe. I love wearing hoody's, ski socks, down coats, and thermals almost year round (between working at a ski resort and living in a mountain valley). Finley loves it here too. She is still adjusting to the new house but loves it. I do miss being close to my family, but luckily it isn't far away. If you could see how pretty Heber is you'd like to live here too.

Toe Pick

Last night Brian's work had a party for employee's and their families. It was at the Olympic Oval out in Kearns. I was so excited to hear they had skates small enough for Finley. They were the cutest little things I've seen. I wanted to take them home with me. I wasn't sure how Fin would like the skating but she LOVED it! Of course we held on to her but she would just giggle and say faster papa. We would take turns holding her and doing laps and then pushing her along. Towards the end we found this little walker that helps kids learn their balance on the ice. She was so into it, but keep in mind this was not a fast way to go. I'm pretty sure it took us at least half and hour to go half way around the track. The whole time we were skating all I could think of was the movie 'Cutting Edge' and how the big joke was 'Toe Pick' for stopping. It was so much fun and cute watching her expressions. After two hours of skating Fin was ready to go home and go to bed. 

She looks like a little old lady with a walker. It's great!

More House Pictures

I think my door bell cover is cute.

The rock and railing is done.

We are getting very close to having the house done. The carpet and hardwood floors are in, the hardware on the doors is on, and my favorite part the plantation shutters are on the windows. I can't wait to move and decorate. I'll make sure to post pictures of it all done.

House Update

The house is getting close to being done and it's looking great. They have the outside railings done, all light fixtures in, cabinets and counter tops, the fireplace is done, and plumbing fixtures in. We still have carpet to put in, stain the hardwood floor, paint the front door, touch up paint, put in appliances, window coverings (plantation shutters), and finish trim work. I am working on finding great mirrors for the bathrooms and will put hardware on all cabinets. The house should be done and able to close by the end of the month. All this and have I started packing my current home up? Nope. I might want to get going on that but the motivation is hard to find. I'll make sure to post pictures of the final product.
