Needless to say I returned to my desk as a muddy mess from my afternoon walk

Trying to save energy by not using the dryer as much

The footie pajamas, the backwards climbing helmet, the quickdraw "weapon"…as blurry as it is, this picture still makes me laugh.

At Beech's house for my semi-annual haircut

working on my cookbook quest…this one looks just like the picture

Eating desserts for lunch at my desk

It was his third dessert of the night but he'd waited soooo long for this piece of Chocolate Cinnamon Bread

Simon's hair

Before this flight attendant takes off he got his request for a breakfast with huckleberries...(it was almost my last meal)

Without fail, it always snows the day I pick up Duc from Park City

The day Mark invented Hot Chalk climbing above Odgen

When making mangos and sticky rice never settle for anything less than EXTRA SUPER QUALITY rice

Dang! I dropped a noodle under the stove and can't reach it!

Only two things on my To Do list and I didn't do either

I finally passed the my lead test! YAHOOOOOOOOIE!!!!!!

Cold Water Canyon Overlook with Andy

Making fettuccine from scratch

Emily Harrington pulling off moves I can't even imagine doing

After an evening at the climbing gym

The night Alicia and I made a million Ebenezers…I mean Ebelskivers

O'Bannon: Years from now I will still dream about this goat cheese wrapped in Burbon soaked chestnut leaves

Duc taking in the view from his luxury Sundance Film Festival housing

Stew turns 3 (it's true he looks a little old for his age)

Slept till noon and made salsa for breakfast

Last night's insainly thick fog left some insainely thick frost on my rosemary bush this morning

Thick fog outside the climbing gym during some afterhours climbing

Simon is so much easier to babysit since he's been crate trained

I hate it when the cats drown their toys, especially the colored ones

A gorgeous snowy forest trail all to myself with only my cross country skis and the river for company.

Only half of these mushrooms made it into the soup…mmmmm.

Grating fresh nutmeg for my banana pancakes

A quick game of trippy bowling with Heathyr after work.

Good byes and good pancakes…vacation is over

Score! I mean Store (this tub is full of so much good stuff!)

Another beautiful sunrise on the way to work

Early morning in American Fork Canyon with Jake breaking trail

Stray cat trails to my backdoor and free food

At Stew's sledding party...kids have it so easy sometimes

New Years greetings from Edward Abbey and a visitor from Oklahoma

Simon shows his pancake who's boss at the Blue Plate Diner

The snowplow pile in front my house wasn't too exciting as far as sledding goes

I wandered around in here awhile before realizing the Courthouse is across the street

An entire day of sledding with two small kids, pregnant Alicia, and me and we made it out with no serious injuries.

Puple Haze: new cheese for my list of favorites

Simon's first sledding trip in the canyon

Simon blows the horn to declare the opening of presents over

"keee-deeee.... dldgiflscoooookies.. llwsdllktjlasanta..aklegoienzvfireplace..tqotlamcxpoiylh..applejuice?....cheeeeese" (pretty much a direct quote)

My new one piece

The cake balls Alicia and I had made didn't last long at work

Taking a break from making Christmas treats to share some treats with the horses
