Hiking Around the Dixie Rock

These pix are from February of 2011.  A bunch of Joe's family was in town and some of us went hiking around the Dixie Rock which overlooks downtown St. George.  

 Quite picturesque.

 There's a short slot canyon thing that you can try to squeeze through.  It was really causing me some claustrophobia and my clothes got all dirty but I made it!  Lots of people chickened out, it's really tight.

So they USED to have these amazing and tasty alphabet crackers at Costco.  My kids started spelling their names with them one night and these pix were the result of their fun...

Dribblers

Marlowe laughing.

 Not really.  She's crying or yelling.  Still cute though.

 Joe coached Buster's basketball team again this year.  They chose to be called the Decepticons.  Busters cousins, Miles, Maddie and Connor were also on his team so that was fun.

 Marlowe is very expressive when she speaks.  It's ultra-cute.

Besties!

 Marlowe is Abby's girl.  So glad they are sisters.

 Coach Joe.

Buster was number eleven.  GOOOO DECEPTICONS!

Portraits at the Park - Jan. 2011

I Try

I tried my darndest to get a good pic of the kids at the park last January.  This is all I got.

Apparently, Abby had to take a call during this one.  Sterling looks a bit uncomfortable/awkward.  Marlowe's shirt is bunched up around her neck.  Ace and Buster look gooood.

 Weird angle.  Buster has giant feet.  Marlowe's making a strange face.  Look over here, Ace.  And Sterling.  Abby and Buster win!

 This is actually probably the best one though far from perfect.  That's why I have never ever claimed to be a professional photographer.

 Sterling was trying to help with Marlowe but it didn't quite work out.  Come on, Ace, seriously?

 Last try before Marlowe had had enough, haha.  Oh well, such is my life.  Love these little ones more than anything!

Goin' Boardin', Yo

Man, sorry about these weird titles.  Joe took Abby and Buster snowboarding this winter and they both had the time of their lives.  These are some pix I took of them getting ready and the general chaos of our home.

Okay, these pictures didn't really capture the chaos at all but trust me, it exists.
