Today, 2 years ago and 4 years ago. The kids are wondering how long we will keep taking these photos, I said forever.

Penny slipped me this note earlier this week asking if I could make her some outfits she designed. Nothing makes me happier than to work some sewing magic and make my kids dreams become a reality. Turns out Penny has some fun style ideas.

We went to Gloria falls today. It was so lovely. We started out a little later in the day than usual which was nice since the trail was far less crowded that way. We even had the falls to ourselves for about 5 minutes. It was a toasty day today so the falls felt very refreshing. Overall it was a hot but not unbearable hike, while it was just over 100 degrees at home it was 90 degrees dropping down to 80 degrees at the falls.

This week we woke up tired from the 4th celebratio

This week we woke up tired from the 4th celebrations, and thought we would stay home. Then Penny said she really wanted to go on a hike. I couldn’t say no, so we left the teen and tween behind and just the 3 of us went to scout falls. Just a delightfully beautiful hike that was slightly cooler than home. Wildflowers everywhere and beautiful sites. It’s my 3rd time on this trail and every time it’s been different.

My little fish. It was one of those nights where the sun was beaming through the water and it looked cool so I told the girls to grab my phone and it turned into them planning out an hour of posing in the water. A ton of hilariously horrible shots and some cool shots, either way a fun evening.

This weeks adventure was Dry Mountain trail. It was rated moderate, the goal was to reach the summit. (Which would have been about a 1,900 foot climb) the reality, we took a wrong turn and ended up wandering through several beautiful meadows. I think with the few steep uphill sections we did everyone was ok with the wrong turn missing the final climb to the summit. The wind started to pick up and was nuts by the end. Trees were falling including one falling right on the path shortly after we passed by. We also made a stop at the devils kitchen, but it was a crazy dust/wind storm.

Last year I finally won the decade long battle and

Last year I finally won the decade long battle and my husband agreed we could get a pool (it was that or move and we really love our house) it was a LONG process. We started last August with taking out two of our favorite trees 😢 and all the grass in the backyard. We did that part our selves and it was 🥵. Then came the dig, and the SLOW build since they knew winter would put things to a stop. So we basically had a big dirt pit for 8 months. The kids loved playing in the pit though so it wasn’t a total loss. While we could not have predicted being locked in our homes and unable to travel, the timing worked out well. Right about the time we were all ready to rip each other’s heads off the pool was completed and suddenly it was like we were on vacation. Of course this is also the reason very little sewing has happened over the past few months since we just live here now. Thanks to @wyghtmain for making all my dreams come true and parting with your beloved backyard, you made this look good too 😘

We have been celebrating this man right here all weekend. @wyghtmain there is no one better than you. Thank you for all the times you said yes to one of my sometimes crazy requests, and then thank you for being the one that helps make that happen, and usually the one who cleans up after it all when it’s done. Thanks for being a do-er, not just a thinker. 😘😘 happy birthday and happy Father’s Day!

I love planning trips, especially road trips. Plan

I love planning trips, especially road trips. Planning stops, seeing things you would never ordinarily see. I like to call them fun stops, my kids like to call them torture. Either way if you assume my kids are always on board with happy smiles, you would be wrong. A lot of our hikes start with an indifferent “sure I guess we can hike” or some low level excitement. After about 5 minutes, the endless complaining begins. The “I hate this” “why are we on this stupid hike” then we hit the half way point and they all start to like the hike. We meet back at the car and they say things like “that was fun” “ I like that hike” I ask if we can make one more stop and they all yell “no!!” You win some you loose some. This was the Fossil Butte Memorial, gorgeous short hike in the middle of nowhere. Worth every second of the complaints.

This week’s adventure was a little early and a little longer than a day trip. We went back up to Alpine WY for a few days. The kids had been begging to go back since last year (really for the ATV rides) we zipped all around the mountains, saw herds of cows, wildflowers, streams, lakes, and rivers.

This week’s adventure took us up into the high Uintas, my first time. We went to wall lake and the hike did not disappoint, several lakes, a waterfall, and rocks to climb. The kids loved it.

This week’s day trip took us to Kanab in order to mostly flee the incoming storm at home. Kanab was windy and our first hike (Diana’s throne) was cut short when the wind made a flurry of sand pelting us. Still cool and beautiful, but the kids were not a huge fan. Then we went to the Moqui Caves and those were awesome! With a fun hike to get to them. Then we stopped by the belly of the beast, which is a cool man made cave/tunnel. It is pretty neat and the kids liked checking it out. Lastly we went to red canyon and hiked out around some hoodoos and great views. Such a great day with great friends.

This week’s Sunday outing. We went to Grotto falls, and then a few quick stops along the nebo loop. I will never get tired of seeing how beautiful this world really is.

Even though school has been done with for a few we

Even though school has been done with for a few weeks they had the official end of the year parade today on what would have been the last day of school. It’s been some weird transitions but we are ready for summer, and all the fun that brings. Here is a look at the first and last days although it’s hard to picture all that has really changed in that time.

It feels like forever since we went out on an adve

It feels like forever since we went out on an adventure, and today was the perfect day to fix that. We went back to Great Basin National Park, a family favorite. The fresh air, and lovely scenery was just what we needed. The kids learned how to skip rocks at the lakes thanks to @vanesswarner and @jordannwarner (since we can all agree I am no help in that area and clearly failed my children 😂) also just for fun the last two pictures are taken at the same place 3 years apart.

We are heading out of quarantine as most of the restrictions have been lifted around us. This however has required the occasional need of masks, which also seems like it may be required even more in the coming days so mixed feelings aside I finally broke down and made masks for my kids. Since I am embroidering everything these days I let the kids pick what they wanted on their masks. (Abbey’s has a cactus on one side and can’t touch this on the other) in other news we have been spending as much time outside as possible even more now that school is over. We are all really glad it’s been such a nice spring this year. Also all of my kids have officially learned how to embroider now, although Penny finds punch needle so much easier. Jude’s first piece turned out great.
