Beautiful red rusted mountains

Engravings by the pioneers using the grease from their wheels' axles.
Deep thoughts.


"I am the king of this mountain."


"Aaaaahhh warmth."



We had such a fun time in St. George this weekend. Thanks to my parents for the room and fun company, and yes, the babysitting. :) We took the kids to the sand dunes earlier in the day but only had the video camera, so no pics of that...but Tessa loved the warm sand so much she was rolling in it and just laid in it and almost went to sleep. Malia dug for buried treasure with her patch on and all...arrrgghh.
Darrin and I went back to Snow Canyon later and climbed around on the rocks and went for a long walk along the goblin looking rocks.
It was good. It was restorative for us all. And I didn't throw up the entire time. Yay! I wish I could say it stayed that way, but darn it if cooking and cleaning my kitchen doesn't bring out the retching every time. Hello, baby, we're almost to 18 weeks. Did you not get the memo??? Let's stop making your mama sick and I promise to bathe you in kisses and warm milk when you make your entrance, deal?

Hey Alicen. Glad you got a little vacation... I just realized that in all our trip to St. George I don't think I've ever taken Jonny to Snow Canyon. Better put that on the list.
So I'm wondering if 18 wks was the magic turning point for you... are you feeling any better yet? I hope so!!! If not, it's gotta be any day now, right?
