We headed out to Capitol Reef for our anniversary hiking trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
23yrs side by side, hand in hand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I love my man, my friend, husband and lover.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Lover of me and of hiking in Capitol Reef.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Believe me, when I say here are a few of the pictures from our first day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pictures take you the through the canyon upper canyon of Muley Twist then up to the rim to view the wide expanse of the Strike Valley water pocket fold. A beautiful loop that drops back down into the canyon for a needed break from the sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hope you enjoy Upper Muley Twist Canyon. We did!</div>

<p dir=ltr>Each night I tuck my Milo into bed.<br>
I love him so much. </p>
<p dir=ltr>After he says his prayers, I sing his  favorite primary song,"I am a child of God". <br>
Then comes my favorite part of our routine. </p>
<p dir=ltr>Mom , " I love you Milo" <br>
Milo, " I love you more!" <br>
Mom, "I love you most!!!"<br>
I hear low giggle from Milo. <br>
Awe, I love you Milo.<br>
Mom, giggles.</p>
<p dir=ltr>The other night Milo says, " Mom, I am 10yrs old you don't have to tuck me in."<br>
I say, " I'll tuck you in each night until you are 20yrs old if you want."</p>
<p dir=ltr>He knows I won't.<br>
I fall asleep waiting for my 16yr old to come home. <br>
Milo, rest a sure, I'll be asleep on the couch waiting for you too!</p>

I have found more hiking hiking buddies. A co-worker of mine had told me that I needed to take my kids to hike Peekaboo n Spooky. I decided that it would be fun to go hiking for my birthday. So we headed to south central Utah. Apparently over the course of July this area had received an unusual amount of rainfall. Unbeknownst to us, off we went. We encountered water, muck, mud, and pog water( icky,murky,smelly water) that created slippery challenges for us. Aside having to drive 26 miles on a rough dirt washboard road, which took 1 hr 10 mins each way; my birthday was AWESOME. Thank you Jason, Milo and Lily for celebrating with me. I love you all.<br />

I can't believe how fast it has gone by, he is officially an adult. <br>
Riley is a brilliant young man, and extremely handsome to boot.<br>
He is our first born and our first of numerous other experiences as parents.<br>
Have we figured out parenthood? Nah, but we have gotten older.<br>
Riley, we love you!!!</p>

It is an 8 mile route, cottonwood was 6.5 miles, but well worth it!</p>
<p>The route took us in and out of multiple canyons, slots and narrows. Due to the fact I forgot to charge my camera the night before, all the pictures you see are from my crappy cellphone( not a smartphone). I couldn't capture the height or depth of the walls that we climbed and squeezed through. </p>
<p>We encountered lots of lizards along the trail. There were several instances that as I placed my hands on the canyon walls, it was as if the lizards were crawling right out from underneath my fingers. At one choke stone we were scrambling to get over, I screamed! As Jason was friction climbing the wall, out from behind his back scrambled 20 or so spiders. I began to freak out until I realized that the spiders were just " daddy long legs!" I say just, but they were the biggest "daddy long legs that I have ever seen! </p>
<p>Just as with the hike the day before,we enjoyed solitude. Yet we discussed how much fun it would be  to hike this route with our children. Not this time, just the two of us.</p>
<p>After completing our trek for the day we enjoyed a picnic lunch at the Capital Reef day use area. I ran into the historic Gifford house and bought goodies, yummy homemade peach salsa, for those at home managing our children. We then stopped in at the visitors center. I picked myself up a new hiking bandana, sporting the Capital Reef logo and petroglyph designs. I am excited to wear it next year for our celebratory hiking adventure! Oh, we also picked up a stuffed bat toy for Milo's coming birthday. Then back at the hotel for long dip in the pool. Solitude there also, not another soul but us. </p>
<p>All refreshed, off we went to dinner. We had noticed that a new steak house and bar had opened up in Torrey. I love Torrey, I keep telling my family I am going to retire there. Back to the new steak house. I ate the most delicious fish tacos and Jason had a bison burger. Don't forget dessert, a dark rich chipolte cake, OMG! I even talked Jason into a slow dance, well I actually dragged him to the dance floor. Great food and music topped off our adventure.</p>
<p>Our 22yrs together have gone by fast, almost a blur at times, full of happiness and challenges. No regrets though, I love my man more than ever. He amazes me. My love and commitment for him grows each day. I love you Jason, thank you for an amazing weekend together and for always loving me, despite my craziness.</p>

We stole away, to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary, for some hiking in Capital Reef. Our planned hikes were Cottonwood Wash and Burro Wash on the east side of the park.<br>
Starting our first hike with Cottonwood Wash, we headed out in the  afternoon, 3pm, in high 80 degree temps  The first 2 miles were miserably hot as we walked along a wide open wash bed before getting to the trail head.( note to self. Next car purchase needs to be a high clearance vehicle, we could have driven the long 2 miles.)<br>
We were excited when we reached the fun challenging part of our adventure. The next several miles took us in and out of small canyons and slots. We enjoyed the solitude of our route. Not a single soul but us the entire hike. The route we took met us with various barriers to negotiate by climbing, hiking, friction climbing, crawling under one large choke stone, and a lot of sweat. The best part was the quiet alone time, we had to talk and bond along our way.  Just as in our day to day lives, my awesome man was there to help and encourage through the tough parts. I  so blessed to have him in my life. <br>
After our trek back through the way we came the temperature had cooled for the long 2 mile walk through wash. What a fun and amazing hike. At our car we broke open the cooler and gobbled up some ice cold watermelon to hydrate us. We then drove to town and ate at the Rim Rock Inn restaurant, dirty sweaty and all. Good grub!<br>
Look for more to come from our Burro Wash hike....</p>

Scientists are continually mapping out genes. They make us who we are, how we look. Genes are also a controlling factor of our actions and behaviors. I can't deny that I have more than a few quirky genes. So, I am not out to belittle or pick on the uncontrollable behaviors of male gender in my home. This is purely a theory or hypothesis, with mounds of evidence.
Due to all need for genetic mapping and understanding of the human genome, most assuredly science hasn't tackled this one yet and probably never will. So, here is your chance to understand one of the genes that the male gender is lacking or the appropriate trigger to cause this gene if present to begin functioning properly.
<div><p>More often than not, I find the toilet paper roll empty. I ask, is it a hard task to replace it? I shouldn't even have to ask the question. The answer... uhm I shouldn't have to to address the issue. Should I ?</p>
<p>My views really differ from those of the opposite gender in our house. It must be GENETIC, thus relieving them of any conscious awareness of the matter.  Genetic make up is also the reason I am bothered by the neglectful ness of the male gender in this regard. Women do not have the," slothful toilet paper roll gene." We do however have the, " know how things should be gene."  I witness to you that it is purely genetic and that it only gets worse.</p>
<p>I find the roll empty, I replace it. But wait, I can't, there is not any more in the bathroom cabinet. Oh, what to do? Duh, go downstairs and get more rolls to replenish the supply. Simple  and easy. Not only to stock the cabinet but actually put the new roll on the dispenser. Who would have thought of doing such a thing?</p>
<p>Now the male gender in my home, I must admit will get a new roll out, if there is one readily accessible. Where is the new roll placed? Most often found sitting on the back of the toilet. I find this frustrating. Why? I assure you that the next time this person uses the bathroom HE will not need to sit to use the facilities! Wait, maybe here is the answer. He has done his "duty," for the day. Not worried about looking for the toilet paper, because he'll just, pardon me, " shake it dry," next time. </p>
<p>The gals in the house on the other hand, will have to reach back behind to find the roll. It should be directly to the side, conveniently handy. I really find this bothersome, yes I am uptight. I know!  I take medication for that disorder, apparently not enough. Notice I said disorder, by all means genetic in nature, but it can be treated.  There isn't a drug that can change the genetic disposition of the,"slothful toilet paper roll gene." Sad, I know. </p>
<p>As I said, it only gets worse. If a new roll is found in the cabinet and not placed on the back of the toilet, it is frequently found sitting on the edge of the bathtub. Once again, not where it belongs. I admittedly acknowledged that I don't have to twist around to find the roll, it's directly in front of me, hidden behind the shower curtain and potentially soggy. </p>
<p>We have a tiny bathroom. One could be in the shower and if need be, take aim for relief without getting out of the shower, if you are a male. Us gals don't have that option, we scrape our elbows on the bathroom cabinet, where the additional toilet paper is found, and bang our knees on the bathtub. We women have it rough. Sadly, our bathroom down stairs is smaller. If one is sitting your knees will rest against the door when closed. This is the teenage sons toilet. Guess where the toilet paper is? Yes, back of the toilet. He is genetically inclined, not to put it on the edge of the shower, no tub here. </p>
<p>Back to the issue at hand. The other morning I had used the bathroom and the toilet paper needed to be replaced. The cabinet was empty as well. As I am leaving the bathroom one teenaged young man enters the bathroom, obviously not taking note of the empty roll. I proceed in my march downstairs to get the needed supplies, unawares to the young teen. My little princess was with me. I asked her to take the toilet paper upstairs to her brother( 3 ROLLS). She excitedly ran up stairs and placed the toilet paper rolls just outside the door. When the teen realized his predicament and open the door to holler for help, to his surprise he found just what he needed.
A bit later he asks, "did you put the toilet paper outside the door?"
"Yep, well your sister did. I asked her to put it there," I said.
"Oh, thanks, when I noticed the roll was empty, I started stressing,"says he.
Now, I wouldn't want anyone stressing in the bathroom. It can be very detrimental to ones well being! "ELVIS."
A few minutes later I pass by the bathroom and notice...
2ROLLS of toilet paper sitting outside the door. I turn to the teen sitting on the couch playing 0 with his Ipod and ask," REALLY? I save your butt and you can't put the other rolls of toilet paper away?"
"Uhh..., sorry," he says. I shake my head.
I pick up the extra rolls and go into the bathroom and put them in the cabinet. Yes, I also took the new roll off the back of the toilet and put it on the dispenser.
I am trying not to mumble too much, because the male gender in my home do have the," lift the seat up to pee gene." Well most of them. That is one thing their father has drilled into their heads, SO HAVE I! Sitting on a wet seat is the worst. Almost as bad as not having toilet paper readily available.
I am thinking, by telling you this theory, I will be more accepting to the lack of the gene that says," Oh, I used up the last of the paper, I ought to replace it so that next person doesn't get stuck without." It is not pleasant to be stuck in the bathroom.

I felt the warmth and love of my Savior so immensely. A feeling that often gets lost in the<strong> busy</strong> lives we live.<br /><br />When I am at church our lovely children are vying for my attention. It is extremely difficult to focus on the meeting or even the purpose why I am there. So every 7 weeks or so, I make it an appointment with the local religious radio station to boost my spirit as I head to work. <em><strong>A whole</strong></em> <strong><em>15 minutes</em></strong> <em><strong>to myself.</strong></em> I turn up the volume and sing as loud as I please. Nobody is around to hear my mistakes or my off pitch voice. It is awesome.<br /><br />I work at a hospital doing CT scans. I am constantly exposed to others with illness, cancer or acute trauma. I love my job and the opportunity it brings me to help and care for others. Yet it is also an environment that can often bring you down. So my date with the radio, is a great pick me up before a 10 hour day at work.<br /><br />Many renditions of this song can be found on "YouTube." I searched for the one that touched me as it did that Sunday morning. Many of the prints displayed are among my favorites but the one I love the most is titled "<em>Forgiven.</em>" Look for the print of the woman in a red dress kneeling at Christs knee.<br /><br />I hope you'll take the time to listen.

I had worked until 11pm, turned around to come back a 7am today.</div><div align="center">Oh, plus I had make up on. Makeup rarely happens on a daily basis. Today was a special day though. Why?I was having follow up mammograms and ultrasound of both breasts. Hoping a cute do and make up would distract from my, " <em>itty bitty.........'s."</em></div><div align="center">I had my first mammo 1 week ago ( I turned 40 last Aug). </div><div align="center">Until yesterday, I thought no news was good news. Then the call came in from the hospital yesterday. Seeing the number on the caller id, I was worried that I had written down the wrong time for my shift or that I was getting called in early for work. I knew exactly what was up when I heard the woman's voice, " Hi, Suz. This is......" No need to tell me who and where you are calling from. I know your voice and exactly where you are calling from. This very kind and loving lady works in radiology at the hospital with me, different department though. She proceeds to tell me that the radiologist would like me to come in for some additional imaging. You know how you worry and worry about test results, it had been a week. I had almost forgotten all about it. That phone call is a heart stopper. She says," don't worry." What? Excuse me.</div><div align="center">Of course when I got to work that day I cornered a couple of Rads ( radiologists) to go over my mammogram with me. I didn't mind so much looking at my breasts with them. After all they were just x-rays right. I look at peoples parts daily with x-rays. I do CT scans.</div><div align="center">No biggie, um until it is your parts.</div><div align="center">The radiologist really set my mind at ease. </div><div align="center">Did you know that first timers usually have to come back for additional imaging. I didn't.</div><div align="center">They like to get a good baseline and rule out any questionable areas. So that when the next years squishing is done they have something to compare to.</div><div align="center">So, after getting grabbed, squished, and flung around by another co-worker last week; I get the pleasure of doing it all over again. What are the chances that it will be done by the same mammographer. </div><div align="center">Plus, yet another co-worker from ultrasound gets to see' em too. Thank goodness the ultrasound tech is of the female gender.</div><div align="center">Worse yet, a radiologist, whom I work with on almost a daily basis gets a looks see too.<span style="font-size:78%;"> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:78%;">Oh, to have only a penis or a prostate.</span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">The squishing and compressing ensued. Yes, by the same tech as before. I really didn't want the whole department "seein' mi chest." She took 4 additional views. Then set me in the waiting room. Dang, one more. I must admit, I started to worry a bit then.</div><div align="center">Finally, almost done. I get called back to have the ultrasound. </div><div align="center">Isn't it just so convenient how those gowns open right up to see everything. As I said before, I knew the ultrasound tech. We chatted away about trivial things. </div><div align="center"><em>I told her about when I discussed my first mammogram experience with my husband. He didn't know that I had never had a mammo before. I told him that age <strong>40</strong> is the usual age to have your first.</em></div><div align="center"><em>His response, " Boy, you are old. Did dust squirt out when they squished 'em?"</em></div><div align="center"><em>Yes, I still talk to him. He makes me laugh.</em></div><div align="center">The ultrasound tech laughed as well.</div><div align="center">She then called the radiologist to come in. <em>Finally, the last of my co-workers to get exposed to.</em> She then in a professional manner attempts to introduce him to me. As if we didn't already know each other. He cut her short, rude.</div><div align="center">He explained every thing to me. All the while he looked directly in my eyes or the ultrasound screen. </div><div align="center">Whew, I am glad that is done.<em> </em>I clean all the gooey ultrasound gel of my boobs, there I said it, and go back to work.</div><div align="center">All in all it was not a bad experience. Everyone was very professional. Thanks!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">A few a hours later. Even after all the events of the day I was still feeling pretty cute. Remember I had my a hair up and make up on.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I am walking to a near by sandwich place to grab some lunch. It is sunny, I am happy and now totally relieved that all the tests where negative. I am smiling, at peace with myself.</div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">I happen to walk by the bed of a truck, that had 3 construction workers lingering by eating their lunch. As I walk past I hear comments. Those that make a woman in her 40's feel good about herself. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">"Wow, they are talking about me!" </div><div align="center">I think to myself, "Aw thanks guys, " smiling bigger and almost giggling. " </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center">Then to look up and see another woman, a bit of a young thing, in front of me. Short"70's" style shorts, long legs and " ugg boots" with tube socks yellow stripe and all.

I was a little hesitant. Last year when I made Lil's cake I bought some fondant to use it tasted nasty and was very difficult to use. </div><div align="center">I logged on to the site my friend had told me about and learned how to use MMF. I searched many recipes. I came across a recipe called "Ultimate MMF, " I decided to try it.</div><div align="center">It was easy and fun to make. After sucessfully making one batch, I even let my two little ones help knead the fondant on the next batch. Laughing and giggling ensued. We had powdered sugar every where. Not so much fun to clean up but well worth it. Just to wrap it up, I completed my project and cleaning the up the flurries of powder sugar and cornstarch up at 3:30 am Sunday.</div><div align="center">I know I am crazy to put all that time and effort into a cake(s) that will be cut into and gobbled up that evening at 7pm. I love doing it and love making my childrens birthday a memorable one. From the oldest to the youngest my kids enjoy looking at pictures from previous years and sharing them with their friends. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center"> </div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493115026101402498" style="DISPLAY: block;
