David and I celebrated our 15 year anniversary by heading to Midway, UT for a two night getaway. Midway is about 20 minutes from Park City. We left Tuesday after school and were back by Thursday at noon, but it was an enjoyable time away. We spent all day Wednesday in Park City. .. hit the outlets, had some lunch, walked the desereted Main Street (it is definitely the off season right now. .. there was barely anyone around!). .. .and then went to the movie "Iron Man 2". We both really liked the show. Unfortunately, I was having some stomach issues, so we spent the evening with me laying on the couch, and then went to dinner where I watched David eat!! Despite my little illness, we had a really nice time! This was one of our stops in Park City. . . we tried Gelato for the first time, and we both loved it! Luke continues to play baseball. His team is getting better, but lost a couple close ones this weekend by just a run each. Luke went on a campout Friday night for scouts, and got home just in time for his games on Saturday. He had very little sleep, ate a lot of junk. .. add that to playing in the sun for 2 hours. . . well it doesn't add up to anything good. By the time Luke's second game came along he was feeling really sick playing third base.. . . and let's just say it wasn't very pretty! Luke didn't make it for his second game. No more campouts before baseball games!!!
The girls have each been taking a dance class since January, and their final performance recital was Saturday afternoon. They all did so good and looked so cute up there! David couldn't believe that Mia actually got up on stage to perform. .. he thought for sure she would freeze up! You can watch their performances here if you wish (It is a bit long, so I really don't expect anyone to. .. But if you do, Mia's is first. . .she is in the Pink. Kennedy is on the left with the hot pink skirt and white shirt. Elizabeth walks on first in her dance). Mia and Elizabeth both took a ballet class, and Kennedy did ballroom dance. They all loved it! Their teacher has a small studio in the basement of her house and only taught about 5 classes. The recital was outside in her backyard. I loved how small everything was. . .. for me is was absolutely perfect!! On another note, my baby is growing up! She will "graduate" from preschool this next week. As I dropped her off at one of her preschools this week, I watched her run in . .. and it made me a bit sad. At the start of the year, I had to hold her hand and walk her in to the classroom. Not too long ago, she started to walk in herself, but she would look back several time to wave to me . . .. now there are days that she runs in without a backward glance. Time goes way too fast!!Sunday, May 16, 2010

Glad to hear you and David had a chance to get away, but bummer you weren't feeling well! I don't know why Spring is so busy - I think it is worse than the holidays. I am impressed that Mia was willing to dance; the recitals were always our undoing when Bronte took gymnastics. Your kids are all cute and talented! :)
Sounds like you are definatley keeping busy trying to keep up with your kids! Lots of fun. That really touched me about Mia and how much she has grown in the last year. Sometimes it doesn't seem like our kids our progressing but as we look back over a period of time we see it and it feels so awesome. Of course that is when it is in a positive direction! :) It's hard to see them becoming more independent but like I always tell myself that I really don't want the opposite.
I am glad you got to get away with Dave - It's always great to get a chance to escape the everyday and have a conversation with out interruption!
Your girls are as beautiful as ever and it looks like you have officially moved into the teenage schedule with Luke. :) Good times!
So glad you got to get away for your anniversary. It sounds like a great time. I love that picture of Mia going into preschool, she is so darn cute.
Your girls will have to keep up their dance just so you can keep getting the cute dance photos. Now that Luke has learned his lesson, I'm sure it will be nothing but eating healthy and going to bed promptly... right?
