Kolob Canyon

Another family trek, minus Theresa-she had other stuff to do. It was great to spend time talking to mom and dad on the trail. We almost go rained on, had to head back to the car early when the thunder rolled in. All in all, a good time.




Drew and Dad are almost the same height.



Yes, Dad did hike in his motorcycle boots...............



Dave and Heather havin a snack.






This is the sand that was left in my shoes when we got home. Love red dirt!

I don't usualyl blog about politics, but...........

This Acorn scandal scares the crap out of me. Dave has been watching Glenn beck all weekend. For those of you who don't watch FOX news, ( as the other networks are NOT reporting on this) an independent amature film maker went into the Acorn offices with a hidden camera. The tapes reveal Acorn workers instructing these clients on how to purchase a house to use as a brothel and import underage girls from another country to use in the sex industry without getting caught. And, this is with OUR TAX DOLLARS! I am asking you to review the tapes yourself. Left or right--you should be outraged! The story is available on the FOX news website. Even my teenage kids can smell the corruption.

It's a mystery

My hair looks good, but only if styled by a professional. For some reason, when I attempt to torture it straight by applying the flat iron (on the scorch setting) it does not always yield. It will be straight in some parts, kind of fuzzy in others. It looks dull ( like it has been burnt, maybe....?) and the minute it encounters any humidity, the curly wins. So, when I get a trim I always have it styled. I play close attention to the steps the stylist takes (Kenzie at Divine Appointment here in Cedar is great!) noting what goo she applies and when. I can never reproduce it the next day. Would it be weird if I asked her for step by step instructions? Most days, I make my natural curl appear mostly tamed, but sometimes I long for that sleek shiny hair of Panteen commercial fodder. I usually don't get so hung up on appearance, but if I look good, I feel good and Lord knows I need to feel good these days. How do those girls do it?
