Long Beach Grand Pre

It was loud, it was awesome! We didn't stay long but we stayed long enough for Riley to see the race cars and he loved it! Believe it or not Sidney slept through the entire thing (We had ear plugs for her). Any Red car that drove by Riley said "MC QUEEN"! aka Lightning Mc Queen. 

This guy was classic! He has been coming to the race for over 30 years! He knew every in and out of every car and driver... Where to watch during what times of the races etc.

C.O. BIGELOW LIP SHINE

Have you tried this lip Gloss Yet? 

It's absolutely the best! Its not sticky, stays on your lips and it freshens your breath at the same time! My favorite is the "Mentha Cinnamint"  but there are so many flavors to choose from.

ARSHAVIN

Riley has been playing soccer since he could walk. It started when Paul built a hockey net into his playpen and gave him a ball. Riley loves wearing his jersey's, ANY sports jersey actually and I often hide them so he doesn't wear them everyday! He calls his red soccer kit/uniform (that he is wearing in the video below) "Arshavin's". It's funny because he is referring to Andrei Arshavin who plays for the Arsenal FC but his red kit is actually the uniform for Liverpool FC. Anyways, here he is below showing his skills and a few pictures of his playpen...

Park City Randoms....

This is the last post about our trip. I didn't know where else to include these photos but I loved them so much I had to post them. 

This was the HUGE bear in the lobby

Riley grabbing her face for a kiss and saying "Hi Sweet Pea". Its so sweet how much he loves his little sis!

When we go out to Dinner  Paul usually does all the ordering (because he always orders the best stuff)! I never would have eaten this had I known what it was but it was soooo goood! So I guess I like carpaccio, aka raw beef! 

Cousins...

My Cousin Chelsea and I grew up together on the same street in Laguna Beach. We had lemonade stands, played "store"(I think we called it the BIG "M"?) in the playhouse in her back yard, had pretend cooking shows and spent days and hours at Wild Rivers in the summer. We always had some new creative game to play and most of my fondest childhood memories include her. She lives in Utah now, so it was a great excuse to get together with our boys in Park City. Blake and Mason are her two sweet boys and Riley and them played together like they had known each other for years! They spent time in our hotel room playing monster trucks, cars and coloring and then we made our way to the indoor/outdoor pool for some swimming.

And here's a few old school photo's....

Dashing through the snow

We spent the Evening with my little Brother Jordan and his girlfriend Tamara. We headed 30 min north from Park City for a Sleigh Ride. It was sooooo much fun! When we arrived there were 2 tents. They had the most amazing bread with sweet cream cheese, hot coca and cider. After we had a few snacks we headed to the sleighs that were pulled by Belgian horses. They were HUGE!!!! Weighing over 2400lbs each! After the sleigh ride we headed into a cozy cabin.  it was totally "homestyle" cooking and we all loved it! They had an acoustic guitar player who was singing Lady Gaga and Sublime songs "county style". (So weird, but actually pretty good). It was a great night!!!!

Riley running to our shuttle. Our driver was really great, and he is Tiger Woods driver when he comes into town! We had a good laugh about that :)

Riley 's 1st time Snow Boarding

It took some convincing, but Finally the staff at the Canyons resort in Park City agreed to give Riley a snowboard lesson. They kept saying he was to young, that they don't start kids on boards until they are 6. Paul was not about to pay for a SKI lesson and said he knew RIley would be fine on the board. They got us the Rock Star of all instructors "Trigger" and after a few tears Riley had it down! After his lesson he said "I love Trigger mom, can i go again tomorrow"? Here are 2 short video's and a couple pictures...
