Tag Photo

I was tagged by Konie to post the sixth photo out of my sixth photo file. This is my brother Allen. He was in the middle of cooking for the Duch Oven International Championship. This was held at the anual outdoorsman show in Sandy. He held the title at the time of this cook off. It was a lot of fun wathing him. He is very talented and I have learned a lot from him about Duch Oven Cooking. He is a chef in real life.

Igloo adventure

2009-02-19T17:57:00.000-08:00

Dylan and I went on a big adventure on Monday eve. We went on a hike to an igloo up Logan canyon. We left around 5:30 p.m. and hiked in about a mile to an Igloo someone had made. We got to the igloo around 7:oo p.m. Once we got to our destination, we fired up the stove and made our dinner. We had dehydrated meals, they were quite good. We boiled some snow and vaula... It was delish!! Yes, Dylan's nose is glowing. He pointed his head lamp down while the picture was taken.

We had to improvise for silverware, because we didn't have any. We tore to top off the package of the meal and used it for a spoon. It was all an adventure.

Dylan and I inside the Igloo. It was really "cool"!! We will have to build one next winter so that we will have our own little winter bungalow.

Dylan and I in our snow shoes. We truly had a blast!! It is a good thing that he is as adventuresome as he is. I got lucky. He is a good sport and seemed to enjoy every minute of it.

Happy New Year!!!

Happy New Year everyone. It has been a while since I updated my blog so I thought It was a good time to get it going again. I just had the last two weeks off from work and I must say, I feel like a new woman. I had a great time with my son and was able to spend a whole week with my family. We spent Christmas at my sister's home and it was a lot of fun. We came home the day after Christmas and then we took a trip to Salt Lake City and stayed at the Little America Hotel. We invited my nephew's to come along with us. We had a great time. Here are some pictures to show some of the fun things that we did.

"I Love Soccer"

2008-11-01T19:28:00.001-07:00

Dylan enjoyed playing soccer this summer. He seems to be very coordinated and is a lot of fun to watch. I had a great time cheering him on and watching him do so well.

Trip to Zion's

2008-11-01T19:19:00.000-07:00

This summer, Dylan and I went to Zion's park. We had a great time going on hikes and exploring all the cool rocks. We learned a lot about nature and even found a few lizard's. It was a blast!

Dylan and Mom

Here are some more of our fall pictures we took last week. Dylan was quite a trooper and seemed to have a good time posing for all the shots. He seems to enjoy getting his picture taken.

Fall Pictures

These are some of Dylan's fall pictures we took last week. I think they turned out very well. What a handsome dude. He obviously gets his looks from me.

Let's play ball

2008-10-21T21:43:00.001-07:00

Dylan played baseball for the first time this summer. He is quite the slugger. He had a great time and can not wait to play again next year. I really enjoyed watching him play. I was the loudest cheerleader there!

Our trip to Glacier "2007"

2008-10-21T19:47:00.000-07:00

In the summer of 2007 we took a trip to Glacier National Park with some friends and we had a ball. Dylan took his good buddy Dane along and they had a blast. We went hiking, swimming, cliff diving (some of us, well...them),and we even slept in a tent which we rarely do since we normally camp in our tin tepee. The trip was great and we all had the time of our lives. This was one trip we will be sure to repeat.

Oh, to be a kid again!!

2008-10-21T19:33:00.000-07:00

Dylan and his best bud, "Bug" hit the hill just down the street from our house. They had a blast until they hit the jump. OUCH!! Anyway, they had a great time overall and had some great tales to share with all.

A Fall Day on the Farm.

2008-05-06T21:20:00.000-07:00

These pictures were taken in the fall of 2007 at Jensen's Historical Farm. What a photogenic little guy. Dylan loves to be out side and really enjoys having his picture taken as you can see.

Trip to Jackson "2007"

2008-05-06T21:09:00.000-07:00

Dylan and I took a trip to Jackson Hole last summer and we had a great day together. We sat on the rocks and watched the rafters come down the snake river. I was happy that we were observers and not participants in the event. Maybe one day we will have to give it a whirl. What a handsome little dude!

Bear Lake "2007"

2008-05-06T20:40:00.000-07:00

We went to Bear Lake last year for Memorial Day. Dylan had a blast flying his kite and playing on the beach. He thought it was a lot of fun when he got into a mud fight with friends. As you can see the fun did not last very long when he got plastered with a big MUD torpedo. What a great trip that was. We had such a great time camping on the beach and spending time with our friends.

Mommy Day's

2008-05-06T20:13:00.000-07:00

Hello All... This is my first attempt at "Blogging". My favorite thing in the whole world is spending time with my son. The photo's to the left were taken on Dylan's 5th birthday. We went for a horse back ride up the canyon and had a picnic lunch. He was so excited because this was the first time he got to guide the horse all by himself. He was quite proud of himself. He was not too excited about the candid shot behind the rock. I however think it is priceless.

What a Great Day!
