Anniversary Hiking June 2013

We headed out to Capitol Reef for our anniversary hiking trip.

23yrs side by side, hand in hand.

I love my man, my friend, husband and lover.

Lover of me and of hiking in Capitol Reef.

Believe me, when I say here are a few of the pictures from our first day.

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.

Hope you enjoy Upper Muley Twist Canyon. We did!

Bedtime Routine

Milo - randomness

Each night I tuck my Milo into bed.
I love him so much.

After he says his prayers, I sing his  favorite primary song,"I am a child of God".
Then comes my favorite part of our routine.

Mom , " I love you Milo"
Milo, " I love you more!"
Mom, "I love you most!!!"
I hear low giggle from Milo.
Awe, I love you Milo.
Mom, giggles.

The other night Milo says, " Mom, I am 10yrs old you don't have to tuck me in."
I say, " I'll tuck you in each night until you are 20yrs old if you want."

He knows I won't.
I fall asleep waiting for my 16yr old to come home.
Milo, rest a sure, I'll be asleep on the couch waiting for you too!

Peekaboo - n - Spooky Birthday Hike

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.
