Zion 5/2011

We took a little trip to Zion on Saturday and had a lovely picnic by the river.  Then we took a drive through the tunnels, took a ride on the shuttle, and did a little hike...

WIPEOUT!

Natalie's Going Krasey!

Last week in kindergarten, Natalie and her class learned about springtime and plants.  She brought this home for me, and I put it by the sink.  I like his smiling face in the morning...

She also brought her plant journal home, where they documented the stages of the growing grass.  This last entrty was supposed to describe how her plant was progressing...

although I'm sure she mean her "grass is going crazy"...she put "gass"!  Kelt and I could not stop laughing!  Oh, kids and their krasey gass!!

Finished!!

Natalie's 6th Birthday Party!

We had Natalie's Princess Peach birthday party yesterday!

I had to make the pinata myself because there were none that matched our theme, and you know how I feel about that! And hopefully this is the last cake I'll have to pick up from the bakery-I'm going to take the cake classes at Robert's and make my own from now on!

This is an ice ring with sliced peaches...

Natalie's friends brought their Paper Jams band set and played songs for her

Lots of presents!!

Singing "Happy Birthday" and blowing out the candle...

Party animals...Peach and Mario!

Emerald Pools 2011

This week my sister Andrea and her beau Chris came up to visit.  We all went to Zion and hiked the Emerald Pools trail...

Chris and Andrea

when Drake has to go, HE HAS TO GO!

Natalie wanted to be "the leader" of the hike, so she stayed a few steps ahead...

it was freezing at the top pool, and the water coming off of the fall was freezing into this huge glacier-ish formation

and once again, he means NOW!
