The gift of family

Before Christmas I mentioned that I really wanted new family "cousin" photo's.  It had been 5 years and Sierra is 2 and not in any photos.  Our sweet family made it happen.  McCalvy's came up from Cedar City UT.  Kristen made sure her girls could come up and Tucker made sure he could come.  We picked Sunday afternoon December 27.  Gil and I had gone driving to see if there was a spot with Bogus in the background but the weather didn't cooperate.  It was socked in with hoar frost everywhere.  We went to Eagle Island State Park by the equestrian barns instead.  What a cool place.  What great photos.

Snow glorious snow

We have had over a week of inversion and smog- so since I'm longing for sunshine and blue sky, I decided to put a few of my favorite snow photos up. These are from before.  Post written Jan 20 2009

Chilcoot Lake Trip

This was at the end. 3 six year olds with very dirty faces. As Stella says: "That's camping for you". It was a lot of fun.
