From the Iron Blossom

We had such a great time skiing and playing over Easter in Utah with the whole Zemp family. Here we are enjoying the great weather from the balconey of our room. (too bad we look so dark) The view of the ski hill from our room was fantastic and a defifinite bonus to staying at the Iron Blossom Hotel.

Russ caught me eating AGAIN! Lots of great food, fun and family. This picture is mostly to remember what part of the inside of our unit looked like.

Skiing from the top of Snowbird

After confidently skiing Chickadee, I wanted to attempt skiing down from the top of the moutain. Russ thought he could find the EASIEST way down for me so. . .


after a few chair lifts, this conveyer belt pulled us through a tunnel dug out from the front to the back side of the mountain over two summers. When you reach the back side of the mountain you see. . .

a view I'm used to hiking for hours and hours to see. The view was definitely worth all the snowplowing to get back down the mountain. I really wish I was a better skier, so that I could enjoy getting down the mountain as much as I enjoy going up!

Temple Square

The Flowers were so beautiful on Temple Square. I can't wait for spring to arrive in Medicine Hat!

A Day of Firsts

Brooklyn was ready to ski with Dad

Russ and Brittany helped Brooklyn ski "Chickadee". She made it down the hill twice before being too tired to continue.
Jessica hangs back to let Lauren show her ski skills. At under 3 years old Lauren is better than most adults!

Paige went swimming for her first time in a heated outdoor pool. We of course didn't stay long even though she didn't give any indication of being uncomfortable.




Sleeping Cousins

The girls (Brooklyn, Lauren, and Maddie) slept in their Ready-beds in this position every night. We amazingly slept 16 in a room designed for 8.

Adventures in Baby Poop

After a major blowout (the second of that Sunday), Paige got to experience a chilly mountain breeze on her bare bottom. Luckily the mess came AFTER her involvement in the family pictures taken in a canyon on the road up to Snowbird Ski Resort.

Hanging Out with Aunt Kristin

Lauren and Aunt Kristin took really good care of Paige. What a nice break for mom!

First Day in Utah

Brooklyn, Brittany, Lauren and Madison don't look too bad after a day of shopping at Sporting Goods Stores, Target and Old Navy.

Paige's Photo Shoot




What cute jamies! These are especially for the grandmas out there.

Paige's Bath



Paige doesn't completely LOVE her bath. I believe she tolerates it, which I'm okay with. It usually is a quick in and out so that she doesn't cry too loud and long while

getting dressed. However, tonight she allowed us to dress her up in a bathrobe. I can't wait to compare these pictures with those of Brooklyn wearing the same robe.

More Playtime with Paige


I brought out a toy that Brooklyn loved for many months. I guess even at 3 and a half she can still enjoy it, although she insists on lying underneath the PINK butterfly. Paige just loves having someone hit the toy to keep the music comin'!
