A Zermatt Getaway for Mother's Day and Jake's Birthday

 Who doesn't love an overnight getaway?? Since Jake was given a certificate for a stay at the Zermatt, we decided to take advantage of it on this special weekend. On Friday night, we left the girls with Grandma and Grandpa Yospe (which we're so grateful for...even when the girls are horrible at going to bed at night and give them a run for their money!) Then Jake and I adventured to Park City, and ate dinner at a yummy pizza restaurant where they offered gluten free crust for me. We each got our own pizzas, and proceeded to eat the entire pies by the end of the night! (I finished the rest of mine in our hotel room that night. haha. I love pizza. And I would've saved some if we had had a fridge in our room, but we didn't, so it couldn't go to waste!)
We visited the Kimball Art Center for a few minutes and saw this cool sculpture.
And then headed to Midway to enjoy the Zermatt Resort. Love this place. It has an Austrian/Swiss feel, and we enjoy staying here.
 We didn't get to swim this time, because the pool was overtaken by highschoolers, but we got up the next morning and walked to the top of the crater at the Homestead down the street. Such a pretty view.
 Hello there
 We made a little stop at Dairy Keen on the way home, and I had these awesome sweet potato fries. Soo yummy! They since switched to regular non-waffle fries, but I wish they'd stayed this way!
 It was nice to get away, and refreshing to get a recharge before coming back home to these cuties. This was taken the next day on Mother's Day!
All ready for church. Sweet. Too bad we can't really manage a picture with all of us smiling normally at once!
 haha Cam



 I was given beautiful roses, a book with some sweet notes/drawings from Cam and Lex that they will write in every year as a new tradition, AAAAND.....drum roll......The whole Full House series!! Yayyyyy!
 The girls love Full House just as much as I do. So we have put it to good use in the past months. We used to check it out from the library, but now we have our own personal house of DVD's whenever we need our Stephanie and Michelle fix! :)

Mother's Day was great, and at church we got homemade ice cream and my own personal homemade fudge popsicles. Then that night after a nice dinner with the Yospe clan, we celebrated this guy's upcoming 33rd birthday! Esther graciously made him a blueberry cheesecake.
 And on his actual birthday after work, we went to our favorite birthday venue: Boondocks! (It's free on your birthday). Here's Jakey eating his birthday cookies that we made him that day.
 The girls love the Go-Carts!
 Such a cute daddy daughter duo.
 Hellooo Handsome! I love this picture. And I love this man. Happy 33rd Birthday, my love.
 I really don't know what I would do without him, and I am SO grateful for his love, support, friendship, and patience with me. He works so hard for our family and is a wonderful father and husband who deserves an awesome year,

Looks like some fun celebrations! I've never been to Zermatt, but have fond memories of our stays at the Homestead. Such a pretty area! Glad you get to go now and then to "recharge"! And I agree- Jake's a keeper!!
