Thursday the 14th

It's 2 weeks before Halloween. My husband is out of town and I'm watching my niece and nephews. Soon the house is quiet as the kids are tucked into bed, and I've turned on my computer to dive into some overdue work. Suddenly, the power goes out.

True story - except that the power didn't go out, I always keep my phone charged, and the door was closed and locked the whole time.

But I'm watching the kids again next week, just days before Halloween...
Good thing I took that babysitting course as a beehive, I'm pretty sure they covered dealing with psycos, zombies, and vampires.

*P.S. I never have and never will watch the movie "Babysitter Wanted." My imagination has enough to feed off of as it is, thank you.

Kitchen with built-in dishwasher!

While hiking The Narrows at Zions National Park


Mike decided to brave the deep and dangerous waters and forge ahead despite the obsticles:


In a fateful moment he lost his balance, and quickly tried to save himself from certain doom:


But the log proved to be too slippery, or his supplies or too heavy. No matter the reason, Mike just could not hold on any longer and plunged in to the icy, rushing,



Knee deep waters?

Our castle and our keep

Family Fued

I thought our game nights were intense, but at least when we are sore losers we just go to another room and pout - nothing like this. Sheesh!
