Mountain Driving

One of my familys favorite things to do is go for a ride in the mountains. There is just something that is serene about it. We drove up through immigration Canyon to East Canyon. On our drive up the Canyons we didn't see anything but beautiful mountains. On our way back home we saw 4 fawns and 2 does and we saw an owl. I have never seen a owl in the wild. At first I thought it was a fake owl. hee hee So I had Mike pull the car over to take a closer look at it. As I approached this animal, it suddenly turned its head all the way around.That was weird to see. Then I was completely blown away at the beauty of the animal. I snapped a picture while it was on the post, I tried to get a closer shot of it, but it lifted its wings and pooped right in front of me and flew across the street to a tree. Well that should teach me,but it doesn't. I crossed the street and went under the tree where is was hanging out and got a really pretty picture of it. My kids thought it was so cool to see a wild owl, fawn,(with their white spots still on) and the doe. I am excited to see what our next mountain drive will bring.

Self photography

I was scanning through my camera and came upon these delightful pictures. Kids are so funny. I love the self portraits. ha ha Yes that is Amanda wearing my high heels, She runs in those...note to self don't race her in heels, she'll win. :) Cameron's buddy bear is the one stuffed animal that goes everywhere with him, I thought it was cute that he took a picture of him.

Boating fun with Uncle Andy.

Mike's brother Andy was in town and took us boating. My kids totally loved it. It's been a long time since we have seen him. Once my kids were in the water it was hard to get them out. Then on the drive in Andy let Cameron drive the boat he really loved that. We sure miss you Andy, Thank you for taking us out. We had a blast. :)

Sisters and Brothers

I love my sisters. and Brother :) <3 Of course I love how my dad pulls faces in the background. :)

Mandy

As I was doing Mandy's hair she asked to do it like my hair, half pulled up. Okay, so I did. When I was done she kept turning her head from side to side as far as she could trying to look at herself in the mirror. I asked what she was doing, she said, "trying to look at the back of my hair." Oh, okay so I took out a little mirror and told her to use the little mirror to look in the big mirror. I turned her around and had her try it. She was moving the small mirror around, then stopped and started to giggle. I asked her why she was giggling. She said, "because I can see myself and I like my hair." Oh I love my kiddos.

holy smokes it's been awhile....
