Park City – Day One

Posted in Personal by Tonya Peterson on November 4, 2007

Our first night was pretty uneventful for the most part.  We checked into the Marriott Mountain Side and found our rooms at the very end of the hotel.  It’s a nice place but a little small.  We had some dinner (pizza and salad) and then we all just kind of crashed.  Kelli, Alex and I went swimming while mom, Brenda, James, Bridget, and Paige hung out in the room. 

The next morning, we had a delish breakfast (my sister’s scrambled eggs are to die for) and then went to the outlet stores.  The weather was perfect as we walked around.  We made sure to hit the kids stores (Old Navy, Children’s Place and Carters) but also hit some of Kelli’s favorite stores.  We came away with some super cute clothes (mom got two really cute jackets at Old Navy) and lots of cute clothes for the babies.  Mom bought Bridget and Paige a cute matching outfits and I can’t wait to put Paige in it!

After our shopping spree was over, we went to Ruby Tuesday’s for lunch.  The service was a little slow but the food was good (yummy strawberry lemonade).  Dad, Tara and Brian met us over there and we all enjoyed a little refreshment.  Tara wanted to hit the outlet stores so she took Brian and went over there while the rest of us went back to the hotel. 

Mom and dad went down to browse Main Street while the rest of us laid around and watched “John Tucker Must Die”, a very good movie.  Jack and Bailey finally made it and we all went down to go swimming.  But it was too cold for the little babies so Brenda and I sat in the lobby and talked.  I love my sister.

While we were bonding, Kelli had an admirer at the pool, a very sweet handicap boy was infatuated with her (who wouldn’t be, she’s a hottie) and wanted to be around her.  Mom and dad came back from Main Street and went to swim with the babies and after a while, they came out of the pool and took our babies so Brenda and I could go for a dip with our sweeties.  The pools here are freakin awesome!!!!  It was so nice to just relax in the warm pool with Alex, he’s so cute.

After our swimming fun, we headed back to the hotel and ordered pizza from Red Banjo Pizza.  If you ever get a chance to visit Park City you need to eat there!  It is the best pizza I have had since I lived in New York!!!  After pizza, we hung around and watched TV.  Brian and Tara came down with the kids and hung around for a while.  It was fun to play with them.  Then it was time for sleepy time.  Night night!

A few pics from the day…not alot going on today to take pics of!  More tomorrow!

Pretty much the best blog entry ever…

Posted in Personal by Tonya Peterson on November 4, 2007

Written by Guest Blogger, Tonya’s big sister Brenda (as stylishly shown below) – Well, I’m throwing Tonya a fricken bone here and writting her blog today.  This picture below is probably one of the best she’s ever taken, I mean come on, what’s not to like?  There’s me (I’m looking pretty hot, note the killer red highlights), my chubby hubby James and then the creme de la creme of our family, my beautiful Bridget.  Cute name, cute baby!  Bridget has completed our family and we love her a lot.  She’s only 3 1/2 months old but she’s already a spit fire!

What can I say about my Bailey?  She is my sweetheart and I love her.  I’m also her favorite aunt and she loves to tease Tonya about it.  Our family wouldn’t be complete with out this little firecracker and I love her a lot!

My brother has a pretty cute family.  Jack and Bailey love to laugh and tease, especially when they are supposed to be serious!  And what you can’t see in this picture is soon to arrive baby Ballou, which will take the grandkid count up to 5 next spring.

My bubba is so cute!  He loves to have fun and he will always have a special spot in my heart.  He was the first nephew and grandchild and is such a sweetheart.  He is kind and loving and always the first to give hugs and kisses!

This is such a cute pictures of my mom and Bailey.  They both look so good in red and with the background color, it looks amazing!  Bailey and her Grandma Trenna have lots of fun together and I know that Grandma loves Bailey in a special way.

It’s an honor to be Tonya’s guest blogger today.  She’s pretty much the best sister in the world.  Seriously, her pictures are flipping amazing and I know that she gets a lot of her creative energy from the good example of her big sister.  I can’t go as far to say I taught her everything she knows, but you know, I am pretty influential in her life.  She’s my best friend and the best sister a girl can have.  I love her so much and I’m so glad that our baby girls will get to grow up together!  I think motherhood would have been a lot harder if I didn’t have Tonya to go through it with.  Me love her long time!!
