This Is Us

  I love looking up to the sky. Seeing birds fly, clouds float, the blueness, the sunshine, even rain clouds! I love seeing sunrises and sunsets. The moon and stars!  This is what the sky looked like on Saturday when I took Xander to work. Even though you can’t tell, this was facing East and the moon was huge! It was so pretty! Here are some sunsets and sunrises over the years:

For today's photo Day 9 it's your favorite view.  We have so many, how can we choose? haha! We love the view in our family room as we are all watching a movie together. We love the view from our deck of our backyard and our children playing in the pool or running around the yard. We love the view when we are in the mountains and at the ocean.

It was kind of a harder hike than we thought a kid-friendly hike should be, and it was long, but all the kids did great and walked the whole time. Colleen ended up stopping and waiting in a shady spot for us to come back. This cute little lizard 🦎 was sleeping in the shade. It let me get really close and then looked at me so I could take a picture. Cute little guy! Then at the end of the hike, where the tracks are, is at Red Fleet Reservoir. The kids were so excited to see the water, that they all jumped in. I stayed right by them since we didn’t have their life jackets, but Nick, Dieter, and Brichette saw the tracks. Here are the tracks. They are kind of hard to s...
