Things that take me back....

Fresh strawberries
Candle or karosene light
Reading my journal
My feet in a running stream
Picking wild flowers
Rubarb
Reading to my kids at bed time
The smell of damp soil

What things take you back to your childhood or any other time in your life?

spontaneous trip to St Gearge UT

I always forget that it posts them backwords. Dev and the girls on the rocks at Pioneer park.


Devin and Lily saw a Lizard, its in teh picture but you can;t see it cause it was so fast. he said it was 6-8 inches long! pretty cool.
Mikelle must have a fear of hights and things bogger then her because even on level ground she would cry " I am going to fall!" and made us carry her. or " The rocks are so very big and heavy!" she did not like it.
see how she is clutching my neck. poor baby, I sort of feel bad about forcing her to go, but not really. It was beautiful!
Lily LOVED it. this is actually our second visit to the rocks this trip. Only lily and I made it the forst time because mikelle was asleep in the car. in the above pic she is crying "I'm going to fall!" we are a good 50 feet from the edge, witch was only a step down.
Visit to the St George Temple. Holy Cow its bright. its practicly glowing. I could not look at it for more then a second. like looking right at the sun.

My fav of Lily.
Me and Lily
Devins fav of lily
Mikelle looking at the temple, contemplating the meaning of life.

kelle got stuck at the tup of the stairs. I don't know where this fear of heights has come from. and its new she was not like this befor.
I guess we have all forgotten the fun that is watching the water run out of your diaper when you get out of the pool. she would get in,then out, then bend over to watch, over and over and over. Helarious!

Lily strikes a pose!

and again
My fav or Kelle.
I love her legs. I just want to eat them. Thats chunk for my girls. I squeez then all the time.

befor we left Lily got into the band aids and used ALL of the pretty ones all up her leg. and on her face. she would not let me take them off so I left them on, most came off after playing int he pool two times and having two baths. and the ones that are left i don't have the heart to tear off if they did not come off after that. they are goona hurt!
me and my pretty Kelle. its so not fair that her hair does that pretty curly thing naturally.
and....ahhhhhh yeah. the tub! big enough for me to float in. a pregnant ladys dream come true!

well I had never been to St George. I know weird, but I have actually been to very few places in Utah. Pretty much if its outside of the salt Lake Valley, I have not been there. Devin took friday off of work. Friday morning when still in bed I had the idea to go to St George. so to make a long story short, we Cleaned the house, packed the car and went. But not till we called almost everyone we know trying to get them to go with us. and when everyone said no or did not answere we left.



Lily slept most of the way there and kelle played with her feet and read books. it was nice.
