The Undaunted

HOLE IN THE ROCK
LOOKING INTO THE HOLE IN THE ROCK

TRAIL OUT OF COTTONWOOD CANYON

THE CHUTE
So I love to read and I love getting new books I am not good at going to library and checking out books I prefer someone refer them to me. But in all honesty I haven't read a book I didn't like. So my Dad lent me The Undaunted I absolutely love pioneers stories especially in my own back yard as it were. If you haven't heard of the "Hole in the Rock" pioneers click on the link and you will be amazed at what these people did. It has increased my faith and really given me a good wake up call to my simple and easy life. Anyway the story is nice because although the main characters are fictional they interact with real people. I enjoyed that because I am a sucker for a good novel and not great at reading most non-fiction. Anyway I recommend it and I really want to go visit these historic sites.

Happy Birthday Connor!

I really can't believe he is already two how insane!

playing on his slide, he loves it! Thanks Linda and Steve!
"riding" his bike, he is still a little short to reach the pedals but he has fun when Kevin pushes him on it anyway
What a little angel, he makes me smile everyday!
What a little chunk he is about 17 and a half pounds and counting!
eating a brownie, sorry I took this with my old camera with no flash so these are pretty dark.
For Valentines day we made some sugar cookies Connor loved to help!
Crew's first bath, well at home that is. Where's his wrist? I don't know but I love that he is holding the rag, he is already modest.
I was making cookies so Connor got to eat the batter off the paddle, I love what a little couch potato he is.
I can't believe he is already two years old it is just insane! We celebrated a little on his actual birthday. He got a new tricycle and a slide from his Grandma and Grandpa Waite! I think everyday he looks outside and says slide? so yes he loves his new toys. We also got a new toy we looked into getting our old camera fixed but the guy Kevin talked about fixing it said it is cheaper to just buy a brand new one so we thought OK we might as well upgrade a little so yay we got a new camera and so here are some pictures that I have taken!
