Moab 2010

Um , where have I been? Well we are LOVING our house and have been having a lot of fun I just haven't really brought my camera along to document it. But here are a lucky few pics and there will be more videos to come in a few days.

We went to Moab in May with Nick. That little boy LOVES to camp! And we hiked to Landscape Arch which isn't so much a hike as it is a nice 2 mile walk. Nick did awesome. He walked almost the whole way and loved every minute of it! Now every time he sees a picture of an arch (which are abundant in Utah) he always gets excited and says "There's the arch!" He had a great time getting filthy, jumping on rocks, and watching the lizards and bugs.

My favorite place with my favorite people!

Mesa Arch, Canyonlands NP

Matt desperately wanted to take his truck four wheeling so we started at the top of those far away cliffs and ended up at the river bottoms. I have to admit it was a very pretty albeit bumpy ride!

New Hair

Sometimes when I catch a glimpse of my reflection I think I look like my mom now. Weird.

Cabinets!

Our BEAUTIFUL cabinets are in! These are like Matt and I's favorite part of the whole house. We are SO excited for them.

This is the little desk built in our kitchen. I am pretty sure I will spending a lot of time there!

Angels Landing

My sweet husband admitted to me last week that before he met me he HATED hiking. He thought it was super boring and would much rather mountain bike or something. Funny because we probably went on like 20 hikes last summer/fall!

But supposedly he likes it pretty well now. Not as much as mountain biking, but enough to ask me if I wanted to go hike Angels Landing in Zion. He said I was getting restless and needed to get out and go camping/hiking.

So we went down to Zion and had a great time. We found the sweetest camping spot ever and had such a blast. We scavenged that fire wood ourselves and chopped it up with our mad skills. I actually fell flat on my butt in the middle of all the wood trying to break some of it up. Matt did a good job of not laughing until he made sure I was going to be okay.

Angels Landing was great. It really kicked my butt, I haven't been an avid worker-outer since I got hitched. Matt hates heights and steep cliffs but he didn't even show it on this hike. He just dominated it! Once we are the top we had a bit to eat and I was all ready to sit back and relax for a while but Matt just wanted to get back down to the ground though!

Here is us on the easy part of the way up...

Here are Walter's Wiggles - a series of 21 switchbacks about halfway up...

Here is one of the many narrow parts of the hike. Only about three feet across...

Easter

We had Easter a week earlier than most people did and I have to tell you I don't mind celebrating my holidays early! Except then I go to the store the day after and think all the stuff is on sale because the holiday is over and it really isn't.

We had fun dying our eggs, fingers, countertops etc. etc.

Nick did pretty good finding all the eggs. He loved the plastic eggs full of M&M's. Strangely enough he didn't eat very many of them but spent all morning playing with them in his dump trucks! Yum!
