Jessica's "Daily Affirmation"

Drew and I have started doing the same thing in the morning, standing on the sink and all!

Hmmm....

Necessity is the mother of invention....

Our can opener broke... Don't worry, it didn't stop us from eating our corn kernals! That is all!

Meet Max...

How sweet is that little face? Wearing cowboy boots and holding his Teddy bear Ramone. I'm smitten...

I LOVE My Job!

I really cannot say that enough!

Especially when babies can start holding their own bottles?!

Baby Claire looks like a giant baby next to her sisters! She loves her babies.

Does it get cuter? Snuck in to make sure babies were asleep.

Kate was passed out! So cute, I almost can't stand it.

Kate catching up on some light reading before her nap.

Excuse me?

Lillian having a very detailed conversation with me on why she loves her lambie.

So snuggly.

Kate just can't get enough of Runaway Bunny.

Baby prison! How could you not love your job? I will gladly take them all home thank you!

Best Project EVER!!!

Well perhaps you remember our little entry table... The one on the back wall...

Well I hated it's stain!

And maybe you remember my grand plan to silver leaf it all... Yeah... That just sounded daunting. So after a visit to our neighbors house, she told me she had the same vision to silver leaf, and then just ended up spray painting metallic paint onto her table. Sold!

So instead of the pix above and several labor intensive hours saved!

Bam! Got my silver table!

And I LOVE it! I didn't even bother to sand this one. I'll probably be regretting that, when I'm repainting it tomorrow. But it took me no more then 10 minutes to paint. Was DRY, 30 SECONDS later and back in place in 5 minutes! I'll do projects like this anyday!

LOVE IT!!!!

Sunday Best!

Well Cleo has been looking all dolled up with bows. So we had to do something for Caesar Boy. Yes... HAD to.

And doesn't he look handsome?

Quite the pair.

This is how we are greeted at the fence.

Look at that smile. Nothing makes you feel more loved then a dog welcoming you home.

Our little gentleman. Yep... I'm going to be that mom.

The Final Frontier

You thought you had heard enough about our trip? Well there's more...

On our way out of Bluff we stopped at the Hovenweep ruins.

These were the first ruins that were discovered that had multi level buildings.

Pretty darn impressive if you ask me. There are tiny sporadic holes that they believe are aligned when the equinoxes occur. And separate windows for shining light through to alert the village of news. Pretty interesting stuff.

The mountain range below is known as the Sleeping Ute Mountain. You can see his headdress starting on the left. The Utes believe that this Ute Chief will awaken some day and reclaim this land for the original tribes.

Then we hopped in the car for the drive home. We play games in the car. Some families play I spy, or the Alphabet game. Drew and I play stick your head out the sunroof and drive game. Yes every time I play this I hear my dad's voice in my head that says, just like it did when I was 16, "cars are not toys".

But when you get wind hair like this it's just too hard to not play. Yes I know he's a vision! And he's all mine!

We stopped at our next obscurity. Hole N The Rock. This couple built their home in this rock.

And of course carved Pres. FDR's face into the side. You know, just the usual!

This is their living room, 60 ft fireplace and all.

Bedroom looking into other bedrooms etc. The wife carved her own bathroom at the age of 65! Blew my mind. And thus concluded our adventures. SouthEastern Utah... Consider yourself PWND!
