Ice Castles

Snow babies.

For Christmas, Mimi & Papa gave us all a trip up to the Ice Castles in Midway. This winter has been super dry-not a ton of snow- so we were worried about it being too melted and crappy. Don't worry, of course the day of, it was a blizzard and we were all a little worried about the roads through Parley's and Park City. We ate dinner at Firehouse Subs before making our way up the canyon. We made it safely and had an excellent night. It was lightly snowing the whole evening so it was warmer than expected and the kids had a blast (we were super lucky because not soon after they actually closed them early because it's been too warm). There were ice slides and things to jump off of. The kids could throw snow, watch fire shows, water fountains and changing lights. The kids didn't want to leave albeit freezing and wet which means that the evening for sure was a success. I love making memories with my family and always appreciate new experiences.

Garrisan and Enzo. BFF's.

Mc was such a good little babysitter for Noah. She would hold his hand and make sure he was ok. She loves baby Noah.

Salt water makes everything better.

For Christmas, I gave Mark a session to swim with the Sting Rays at the local aquarium. Little known fact about Mr Williamson, he loves all things ocean-he always has.  I was going to join him but figured I needed to be there to take pictures. It was SO fun to watch him. His mask wasn't super great and let a lot of water in but he was happy feeding/holding/petting them. There were only two other people in the tank so Mark got LOADS of time with the animals. I am pretty sure his face says it all. Since we were up in Layton, we met our friends the Johnsons for a delicious dinner at Red Lobster- swim with the fish and then eat them, guess that's the way it goes.

Seriously nothing better.

Ringing in 2018 in the Geezy

I firmly believe that from now on, celebrating New Years in a warmer climate is a must. We headed to St George with G & Chris and spent the weekend scootering, sleeping, snacking and partying up the last night of 2017 (until 10).

2017 was a good to us. We were to sell our house, find a house, move, make new friends, start a new school, vacation, start exercising, watch lots of Netflix, vacation some more and finish the year with everyone happy and healthy. I am thankful for new beginnings. I am thankful for my sweet in laws, my adoring husband and my crazy kids. I can't wait to see what 2018 has in store for us!

These were the top liked pictures and memories from 2017- 4th of July, moving out of 1326, Women's Conference (Mc's first time in the conference center), Halloween, Easter, Christmas, Motab Christmas concert, Enzo and the Hello Kitty wrapping paper in our new house.
