"This might actually be fun"...

emphasis on might.





Logan Canyon is an excellent place year round. Z. might have been unbelieving at first but I think her face tells the truth of her visit to the Hobbit Caves.

N. ended up with legs covered with scratches from the rock and branches, but he swore he couldn't even feel them. Too much fun, I guess.


T. tried his best to keep up with the older 2. This is definitely a magical place for him, cliffs, river, caves, rocks, you name it.

C.C. wasn't quite as convinced that going into a cave was a good idea. She did love that she could see the kids on the cliff above, through a hole in the rock.

3(not including the pup) looking at the camera at once is like a record for us.
What a variety of beauty God created for us on this planet. We are so blessed to be able to enjoy so much, so close to home (after chores are finished of course!).

P.S. Thanks to Daddy for taking away from study time to share this fun spot.

Helping hands in Grandmas garden

Sweeping.
Vrooming.
Exploring.
None of this actually counts as Helping though, unless the Cuteness counts.

"Mine" and other fine new words.

I'm afraid my children aren't the best of examples for their cute sweet cousin.
I'm not so worried about N.'s junk food and video game habit rubbing off but the other kids I do worry about.
Along with showing her how to kill herself on the stairs, they also taught her the word "Mine", and flinging off of the edge of chairs.
There were many more, and because I can see into the future(my kids wonder all about this great talent of mine) I know there will be many more to come.
Sorry Cuz'!

Your Birthday comes just once a year

...but if you're really lucky you can have your birthday and an ear infection or two also.

Her new psycho motorized hamster (who's name I wont try to spell ) sure brought a smile even if the antibiotics did not.
Listening to her sing "Happy Birthday" to her dollies makes me want to freeze time and keep her 2 forever.
I am so blessed to have to felt her soft arms squeeze around my neck and her light hair tickle my face for 2 years already, boy does time fly.

A little taste of Heaven

.....although I like to think that it will be less noisy in Heaven.
T just cant stop talking about his grandpa, who shares his same "T".

Fortunately for grandpa, N. was the only grandkid missing the fun, otherwise the smiles would be looks of smashed pain.
Don't they even look angelic (due to the sliding glass door ) with their light halos?
