Reed's 5th Birthday

Birthday brownies on the actual day.

All the party friends got to be Monsters or Aiens! It was a Galaxhar party, however.

Each friend got to build their own Bob! huge hit, thanks Internet!

Crazy Monsters vs. Aliens pinata daddy bought. January in Utah = indoor parties for my Reedo burrito, but he had a blast!

More Canyon

Some nice woman let Reed ride her horse! He used to be a race horse!

More pretty trees.

My little angel, say cheese!

Already he's leading her by the hand?! Hmm...

Rose Creek Canyon Outing

Hanging out at a picnic area in the canyon.

Wouldn't be a Monday outing without Rachel and Izzie along for the fun!

We all could stand to be a little more rooted. :0)

Do you see Bambi? Neither did we.

Pretty colors and trees.

Freezer Jam Extravaganza

Decided to attempt freezer jam, supposedly easy, what could go wrong?

Food processor helps make lighter work of the berries.

mmm mashed strawberries anybaby? I mean anybody?

Yeah, if you turn it up to high to get it boiling again... this is what happens. Not fun to clean up, good thing the hubby was in India when this happened! At least we have yummy jam.

Fun in the Snow

Playing in the snow.

Daniel eating the snow...kids.

Daniel crawling in the snow copying big brother.

The joys of fall and winter in Utah.
