H1N1

Zoey is sick. H1N1 has made his ugly apperance at our home. Everyone else is healthy, but Zoey is on her third day of a fever. I think today will be the worst day.

moving=getting organized

For the past 3 years all of my photos, both personal and business, have been scattered across 3 different computers.



No More.



They are all neatly organized in one external hard drive, by year. All professional work is organized into categories, then by year.



Almost a terabyte of data.



Now I am going to take a hammer to my Most Awful Computer (MAC) and then light it on fire.



Boo-Ya

The Changing of the Seasons.

Last Fall in Colorado


That makes me unbelievably sad. So we are enjoying it to the fullest. Don't get me wrong, I am really excited about Texas, but we have lived here almost 4 years, the majority of our married life , and it really feels like home to me now. I think I am going to take our family photos tomorrow, and celebrate the beauty of the mountains that we live in. They are breathtaking. I will miss them.

We had the Peterson's over for breakfast Sunday to watch conference and eat quiche. I made it. It had a pound of bacon in it. It was delish. The kids had a hay day with the boxes of styrofoam packing peanuts in the basement.

After the AM session of General Conference, Damon left for a meeting with his team in Austin, and I went up to the mountains to see the fall colors with Kelly and her sister Tracy's family. We hiked up to this meadow with a stream running through it. It was so beautiful, even though we missed the peak by about a week. I can't imagine the colors we missed. Fall is so fleeting. I did manage to get some beautiful photos of the kids and the mountains. I am shocked that no one fell in the stream. They 'fished' with pretend fishing poles, threw rocks in the stream, and zoey painted rocks with a 'brush'. Zoey has been learning about plants and how they grow in kindergarten, and with Kelly's brother in law Mark telling her all about it while we hiked, she is now obsessed with finding acorns (really, they are pine cones) and planting trees. At every little tree she would yell "MOM!! I FOUND A BABY TREE!!! ITS SO CUTE!!! The kids did great hiking about 1 1/2 miles total, which Zoey did in a skirt and pom pom boots. Kelly's nephew Marcus was carrying her on his shoulders and she told him, "Can I ride someone elses head?"

Marcus: "Why? Is my head not cool anymore?"

Zoey: "Yes. I want to ride his head." Pointing to Mark.

He carried her the rest of the way talking about how the trees grow. We really had a great time.

Photo by Tracey, Kelly's sister. It is so nice to have me in some photos.

It was a perfect way to spend a Sunday .
