Homemade Gift

So my sister made a homemade gift for the first three people to comment on her 'homemade gift' post. I won one of the gifts--a darling apron. I love winning! Anyway, I didn't know until this weekend that I am supposed to do the same thing on my blog. Pay it forward, I guess. So...the first three people to comment on this post will get a homemade gift from me. Not sure what it will be, but I'll try to think of something good! Then, if you are a winner, be sure to do the same thing on your blog so I can win some more cool stuff.

My New Hobby

I recently discovered beaded bobby pins--so cute! Above is a photo of a few that I made this week. Aren't they darling?

Some pictures from Moab

Awww...

Five of the cutest kids on the planet

Izzy started off hiking by doing leaps and pirouettes up the trail. Luke told her to slow down, but she didn't listen. When we caught up to her, she looked a little purple and wasn't feeling so well. After some water and dried fruit, she perked back up. However, she decided to walk, not twirl the rest of the way.

Awesome

Moab was tons of fun! Luke and Mark are both rock stars, and I am so proud of them. They both did a great job. I haven't posted since we got home because our computer got a nasty virus and crashed. Thank heavens for smart people like my brother-in-law Tyler, who fixed it. Tyler, we owe you!! Anyway, here's a photo of us at the Delicate Arch. I have seen pictures, but it was so amazing to actually stand underneath it. If you look close, we're standing at the base of the arch on the right side. More photos to come!

Countdown

Next week at this time, we will be in Moab. We are so excited to camp and hang out with some of our favorite people. I think it is supposed to be about 70 degrees! Luke and Mark have been working really hard to get ready for the half marathon, and we can't wait to see them cross the finish line. We also get to hike to the delicate arch, which is something we have always wanted to do. It's just going to be fun to get away for a weekend!

Pizza Night

Thanks to Fred and Kelly for inviting us to pizza night. We had a blast! Izzy and Dylan posed for a new picture, so I thought I'd post it. They are getting so big--time seems to be flying by!

Thanks, Auntie Em!

Is that a scary fire breathing dragon I see?

Nope. Just a snuggly little boy who is sweating to death in his new costume and loving every minute of it.
