Just for Bob

Here's a couple more from Moab

Moab

At the last minute, we decided we needed a quick getaway to our favorite place for the long weekend. I forgot the camera. Luckily we had Tim's phone.


First up was the Corona Arch hike. Great for kids and dogs.

Kaiya was in heaven

It seems every time we go to Moab, we find a new hike. This one started out at this long pipe. It is essentially a riverbed with some great scrambling over and under rocks.

Christmas 2011

Time for the big girl bed

When I got home yesterday afternoon Emery was still napping and I wondered why there were various things sticking out under her door. Tim said she played for a bit and it took her a while to fall asleep. So I peeked in and found this. Apparently after she climbed out of her crib, she couldn't get back in and found an alternative place to sleep, 3 feet off the ground. Guess it's time to switch her to a toddler bed.

Santa 2011

This is the first year Jackson has ever sat on Santa's lap. One year he stood near Santa, then backed away slowly. But there would be no sitting or talking. That all changed this year. So since they were both sitting so nicely, I had to pay the ridiculous "mall Santa" price for a picture. At least his beard looks real.

Candy houses

The kids had fun decorating candy houses with their friends.

And when they got bored , the adults had fun finishing them

Self portraits

Say cheese

fooling around one night with the camera....
