Emerald Pools

This weekend Colleen took the kids, so Kelt and I decided to hike Emerald Pools in Zion. First we stopped and watched "Treasures of the Gods". We did the hike in an hour and a half, and I took about 90 photos, a few of which I'll post... some doe, about five yards away from us

Thanks for watching the kids, Colleen! It's so wonderful to have some alone time to re-connect and talk about something besides sippy cups and potty training!

Not Much to Say

Not much has been going on around here, but here's a few notes from the past few months...

my Valentine's Day gift from Kelt... I love that man! Natalie is getting prettier ever day, and she starts kindergarten this September, if you can believe that!

Jack got his first pair of cowboy boots, a piece of info he shares with EVERYONE he meets!
