Zion National Park all the way at the top!
I love these kids and their daddy!
our first hike up in Cedar BreaksWe have been super sick from our vacation to Utah but now life is starting out all normal again for us. We have been to see the Zion National Park and many other beautiful sights up in Brian's Head, UT. I was able to visit with my mom as well. We loved every part up until the night before we left when the puking started. Slowly, one by one of us got this nasty bug and seriously you can lose five pounds and wish you hadn't it! It was so miserable. It took me about 3 days to get over it. The girls took a whole day but that was it!
On another note I am a new Aunt again! My sister in law gave birth to a little girl on friday. Her name is Lavender Dawn Ballentine. I have only seen her in pictures and she is a doll! Mommy was exhausted and little Lavender was having some congestion so they stayed in the hospital for a night until they went home on saturday.
And now this week we will be babysitting a guinea pig for some friends, and having our cousins from michigan fly in this week to play until the end of the month. so now that we are better we have a lot coming our way! I plan on painting the tiny bathroom this week too. wow now that i think of it we are gonna be busy. oh well atleast we won't be bored or annoyed from this heat.
Speaking of heat, does anybody else wake up to an army of ants when it gets super hot? I try to keep the Sabbath Day holy by limiting my activities on Sunday. If that means a sink full of dishes stays until monday than that is ok with me. But this morning i was shocked to see so many ants. I have not had this problem for a long time but when the A/C comes on at 8am you know that it will be a scorcher and you better expect ants. so i cleaned them up. I didn't get upset. It was funny the way sarah came running to me yelling " mom, mom, come quick! there are millions and millions of ants. i am serious!" i just laughed and said "let's go kill them."
What a great way to start monday morning.

Be grateful your AC comes on only at 8am! Ours is set to 77 (after an outrageously high bill!) and comes on all night long! Leave our Borax for the ants, they won't come back for the rest of the summer... or so I've heard. I haven't done it yet though. I'm just trying to 'ole keep your floors clean and clear thing.
I'm glad your feeling better. You seriously sounded like you were on your deathbed the other day when I called!
THose are the cutest family pictures. I love your cute rugged family! I can't believe how big your girls are...and how not big my kids are. My poor poor stunted children. Love you and glad to see you're blogging again.
Just a stomach flu away from your goal weight, right? It's always nice to drop a few but is it worth it? hahahaha
Looks like you had a great trip to Utah... despite the vomit.
Which family member had a baby? Was it Richard or Michael?
Good to see what you've been up to! You've become so crafty and creative! Love your beautiful garden and such.
