Aimlessly wandering alone through the foothills for a couple of hours before dusk

How far can YOU stick your arm into a snow bank?

The Pie

Fourth graders trying to run like snowshoe hares

Sam in the deep new snow

Simon making cookies for his mom's birthday

After the the snowstorm and the concert were over we ate frosties on the capital lawn at midnight

"Thirteen" (my favorite, for the sweet sentimental memories it brings to mind)

Sorry Secret Friend, I didn't find your Valentine on my front porch till the next day.

What I did on Valentine's Day

A nice Sunday Drive and a view from above of where we hiked the day before

Hiking in Colorado National Monument

Rest Stop in Southern Utah

Alicia and I saw Pioneer Woman but we didn't wait in line to meet her

What turned into a delicious upside down pear spice cake

Over a frozen creek in Big Cottonwood Canyon

I didn't need to go far to find squirrel or coyote tracks for today's field trip

Baxtar the dog got the bones from our BBQ ribs (which I cleverly disguised as a cat)

Totally X Rated...cover the children's eyes!
