Deer Valley Skiing

Ski Utah offers a great deal for locals to get a ski lesson and a lift ticket for a day at Deer Valley. I've been skiing a few times but never had a lesson. My ski instructor was great and I learned a lot. Ben is a great skiier and I'd love to be able to keep up with him. TJ & Audra got some free lift tickets and so they came too! 

Holiday Monday

Since Martin Luther King Jr. Day falls during busy season, Ben didn't get the holiday when he worked at Ernst & Young. But now he does! I love having an extra day with him--and so do the kids. Clara asks Ben nearly every day if he gets to stay home. We spent the morning hunting down some ski gear and doing some grocery shopping. When Clara woke up from her nap we asked her what she wanted to do. She said, "Get a cupcake!" So we did. But first, we went bowling. It was our first time as a family. Clara won and I'm pretty sure I set a record for gutter balls. Rex had a great time running around and Ben and I spent a lot of time in pursuit.
