Happy Valentines Day!

My father in-law actually came down to visit this weekend, so we've all been visiting. We had a nice big breakfast all together and then we took off to hike up through the tunnels by Lake Mead -- Mat hadn't been so he wanted to go see. It was a good time and the girls will crash tonight. Then we of course made and decorated heart sugar cookies -- pretty sure that Dalia ate more of the frosting than she got on her cookies, which was a lot. Mat also kept sneeking icing I'm sure -- growing up we always did cream cheese frosting with our sugar cookies, but Mat doesn't like cream cheese, so our frosting now is always a butter cream frosting, so everyone ate more than their share. It was fun, hope everyone's valentine's day is great.

Dalia eating her cookie, you can see the tons of frosting, just imagine how much she already ate!

Mat is very proud of his cookie decorating skills, especially his flower in the middle.

Some of our decorating results, we had fun!

Playing with GIMP Today!!

Well, today the girls and I met Lynette Thiriot and her boys at Rodeo park to play. The kids had a great time, and it was fun to watch them just run and play and be kids. After getting a few punches, pushes, and whining out of there systems they played together pretty well. The day was beautiful and was even better when after lunch my girls crashed for naps after a long morning of fun!! So with no "real" chores to do I got on my computer and started messing around with GIMP -- which Lynette told me about and gave me the info for the download, it is basically like photoshop, but free --- MY FAVORITE. So I've had fun messing around with some old pictures learning where all the tools are and what they do. And again I can't post pictures so you'll just have to imagine my talented masterpieces.

FINALLY, JEEP PICTURES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maty, Tristan, and Dalia

Maty all on her own, and she didn't want down.

It was cloudy, and raining off and on, but the clouds were just hanging over us --

so it is misty and foggy.

Jeeping Pictures

Well still no luck with the pictures, I'll keep on trying and figure it out.

Jeeping in St. George

So we left Friday after Mat got off work and headed for St. George. My cousing Willie and his wife Jessica, daughter Tristan, and son Gibson live right there in Washington, UT. We stayed with them and then all went out Saturday jeeping together. This weekend there was a Jeep convention out there, so there were jeeps all over the place. We just went out on our own, so we didn't have to wait behind tons of jeeps or make different stops -- with the kids it is just easier. Mat and Willie I think had the most fun out of everyone, trying to crawl over anything they could. It is beautiful country and it is fun to explore and see. Dalia and Maty liked all the "caves" as they called them in the sandstone. I think Mat has officially fallen in love with St. George and wishes we were closure -- especially since Willie is spoiled and has the area in is backyard, almost literally. Anyway, it was nice to get out of Vegas, although Mat does make me a little nervous -- I'm always waiting for the next thing to break on the Jeep! I've posted some fun pictures and then Mat will be posting pictures and video with the jeep club sight, with the link below on the right.

Okay, so I've been trying now for two days to upload these pictures with this post, but it won't let me for some reason. So I will keep trying to get the pictures up for everyone. Anyone else had this problem before?
