some picts that I like

here is the top of Sand hollow we rode out on the wheelers the view was great
Here we are coming back down. I could ride up there all day
I took this one on one of the paths I used to run along. The flowers grew right out of the rocks.
Same path further down was this bridge. If you go a little further down it runs along the Virgin river where it was washed out
Here is sand hollow again I liked how the water would flow around the rock. I can watch waves come in and out for hours

Just for Fun

Check out my new truck I thought with high gas prices I would save money by starting a limo service
I am also thinking of opening up a gaming service. Like the mods to the fussball table

When you go out to sand hollow to play you either have to walk a long distance in the sand, or drive out there and risk getting stuck. We always have a ton of stuff like the toys for the kids, drinks, chairs, And other junk. So here is the fix to the problem.
Here is a more serious pict for the blog. We took the boys to snow canyon last fall. I like this pict. It was at sunset so you get the glow behind the boys just befor they jumped off.
Here is a photo of the temple. The grass at the temple grounds are the softest and greenest in town.

Hope you enjoyed the project I am working on

Photoshop wonders

Here is a Rainbow from the porch of our last house I liked it but didn't like the houses. Here is the same photo just modified a little. Removed the houses and added a little bit of color

Here is a photo I took with my camera when I first got it. I loved how the clouds looked like they were exploding next to the flag, but I was never happy with the road in it.

On this next photo I cloned in some more flowers to cover the road and added a little more color to the sky & croped off a little on the bottom.
Then I decided to give it the old fashon look but leave the color in the flag I like this one the best
Let me know what you think of the changes. I plan to print the best one.

Hiking Angle's Landing

Here is the view from the top of Angels landing
It is a great hike Lots to see. It is one of the best hikes ever.
About 2/3 of the hike is steep on trails but the best part is the last where you have to hike along this ridge. Bolth sides of the ridge are straight drop off for a long way.
Some parts of the trail are only 5 feet wide great thrill if you like hights
The view is great from top to bottom here is a little bush at the top that was growing right out of the rocks.
If you like Zion's you have to do this hike the 360 view at the top is to die for. Some people do die for it last year 3 people died hiking it
Here is the stair way to Heaven it is the Thoughest part Physically.

From here you can see part of the trail.
Here is jeff getting close to the edge. Notice how small the road is.
I decided to live on the edge, or sit on the edge. I think Jeff was more nervous of me sitting on the edge than me.
The only thing to keep from falling are the sturdy chains and a little Guts. here you can see how steep drop off so close to the edge
Hope you liked the picts of the hike sorry I couldn't put them all there are 200 picts.

Some sun in the fun

A Great day at sand hollow the chapmans came down and we had a lot of fun except for the truck sinking in the sand





Here are the two boys playing in the water. They were either playing great together or screaming at the top of their lungs about who's toy it is. I love watching kids at that age play.

look we don't need snow we do the same in the sand, but it is much warmer
The kids made sand angels.

It was great all the kids wanted to be burried in the sand. It was the only time they stayed still

Just a fun weekend with the family ! ! ! !

This picture was taken by my 5 year old son he loves to help me take photos
Here is my other helper we were making breakfast for mom he was so excited to get stuff from the cabinet. Between grabing stuff for me he would play on the ladder like a jungle gym.
We went for a walk around the block with the boys. They had to wear their rollerblades so they did't get too far ahead I told them they couldn't pass the next driveway till me and mom crossed the the driveway befor. So they would sit down while they waited for slow Mom & Dad to catch up
Here is Mom and the two youngest boys. Look she is turning St George she wore a jacket so coop had to follow. Notice the other boys have T-shirts. It was upper 60's. Look how happy cooper is just to get out.
Zack Is thrilled to be on his skates. He is getting pritty good. He puts them on and rolls acrosted the back patio over and over. I love to get out with the boys
This weekend was great we took a walk around the block. Went to the boys soccer game. Worked on the yard. Slept out on the trampoline well untill 3:00 am. It was still fun. We all worked on planting the garden. Hope it will grow in the red dirt and the Hot summer. Then the boys and I cooked in the kitchen. I cant ask for a better weekend.

This Photo was one of the first days I had my camera it was alot of fun A frend of mine Jon and I spent 45 min or so taking picts of the flag we took over a hundred photos. This one is one of my the best shots. The rain had just stoped so you can see the droplets on the branches.

This one we went to Layton park and took picturs of the boys I like this one. I like the motion it shows but Matt is still semi sharp. It was a great day at the park. We all had fun.
I like nature.
The colors are great
I Took this one on a backpacking hike in the back country of Yellowstone. This is one of my favorite parks to hike at. The hike lead to a waterfall I can't wait to return.
