love utah

This last weekend we went up Little Cottonwood Canyon to do a family friendly short hike to Cecret Lake. The wildflowers were amazing. There are few things that are as beautiful as mountainsides covered in wildflowers to me. And, experiencing it with your family, makes it just perfect.

Last week

Everytime Astrid asks if she can hold Thomas, she also asks me to take a picture. I love it.

I just love this pouty lip he makes when he's telling you he's about to lose it.

this was long overdue

The last time Arthur had a serious injury he was 8 years old and he broke his leg skiing. 26 years later, again while skiing, he broke his thumb. He'll have to have surgery and get a pin in his hand. My poor boy.

for mother's day

For Mother's Day we spent a perfect spring morning planting our raspberry and tomato plants.

Astrid likes the idea of earthworms in books, just not in real life.
