Mt. Timpanogas Cave


We finally can say that we hiked to Mt. Timpanogas Cave. We went with some friends and took Connelly and Dallynn. Connelly we hiked up with a hiking pack and then had to carry him all the way through the cave. That was a nightmare. Our friends little boy and Connelly cried and were horrible the whole hike. I didn't hear anything the tour guide said and I don't know if anyone else on the tour did either. I'm sure that the other people not in our party hated us and wished they would have picked another time without little crying kids on it. Oh well. We are in Utah and I doubt that we are the first tour that had little crying kids on it.

The hike up there is one steep mile and a half. You gain 1,100 ft in a mile and a half and it feels like it. Nate packed Connelly in the whole way, but I helped our friend hike up one of their kids on the back and that is so hard. I was sweating in every crevasse. I guess I got my work out for the day.

Nate really got a good work out today because besides the hike he also went golfing earlier in the day. It was one full day, but totally worth it. The outdoors are amazing and so fun to be in the American Fork Canyon. After the hike we had a picnic and played and visited. The kids and us are so tired we are going to have to take it easy tomorrow.

Sun Valley, Idaho 2021

We stayed at a cute log cabin by the path that goes from Sun Valley to Hailey. There was a huge open field where we were able to throw the ball and play with the dogs in the snow. We ate lunches out and cooked the other meals in the cabin.  Connelly got  the French dip, Nate got the Pastrami, Kate got Macaroni salad and I got the Acai bowl! This was our fourth year going to SunValley.  We love to shop at the  thrift store, Gold Mine.  We found a lamp, board games, Sorrel snow boots for kate, beanies, and Corral plates for the kitchen!! GOLD MINE! Connelly went to Bald Mountain for the first time.  He was able to ski just as fast if not as fast as me.  The ski runs there are so long.  I never took the kids because they are  so long and I thought they wouldn't last two runs.  Connelly and I did 5 runs!!  It was so fun.  Then we got the souvenir pins for Dolla...

2020 Update on kids and life

This year the kids did home school from March 2020 until the end of the school year. It was crazy. I would have never known the words Pandemic or Social distancing until 2020. We ended up playing games every night for about 4 hours at the beginning of the pandemic. We made it through the school year. Then we started school in the fall with in person class and we have been so lucky to get through to Christmas break with no breaks from school and we even went five days aweek. Connelly is in 7th grade this fall. He is doing good with all A's so far. He thought he had a B in one class the first term and miracle of all miracles somehow it turned to an A- last minute. He was promised a phone if he gets straight A's for the next two years, 7th and 8th grade. He has worked really had on keeping an eye on his grades. He really is a good kid. I love him so much. He loves to Ski, Ninja, and ride my new mountain bike. I will need to get him a mountain bike next year. ...

Random thoughts

So this post is a combination of what I've been thinking the past little bit: First, this morning, I didn't do anything with myself because I was going to wear a hat to class, Anatomy 2320, and so I just picked my zits and got Connelly to go to my mother in laws, and left. Yes left without the freaking hat. I didn't comb my hair, didn't put make up on, and left the house red, picked on ugly zit face. What was I thinking. oh well, it isn't like I even talk to anyone in class or having an affair with my teacher so no biggy. Second, I took a test in my anatomy class Monday, and I thought for sure we would get our tests back today. WE DIDN"T. so I have to anticipate my score another 6 days. HHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU...... Connelly must be getting more teeth. He is Onery. He will be cute however about 10 minutes before he goes to be. He is really ticklish and giggly late at night. So then it makes it hard to want to put him in bed because he i...
