It's sorta a lazy Sunday (now Tuesday) evening and in between cooking dinner and refereeing the kids, I'll begin a post. Here are some pics of our Bryce Canyon trip with Grandma. For those of you who have never been, you are seriously missing out on some of the most beautiful scenery ever. I know it's not Hawaii, or the Caribbean. It's not even the Grand Canyon, but it. Is. Beautiful. Michael and I went there (my first time) for part of our honeymoon. It hasn't change a bit. I have, though. It was wonderful to see nature being so strong and grand.
This is the beginning of the Navajo Loop trail. It was 1.3 miles round trip, but let me tell you Mister. It could have been 13 miles and we wouldn't have been able to tell a difference. It was that steep and HOT. But so fun, too. Especially carrying The Bug the whole round trip.
The kids did awesome on the way down. The way up was a different story altogether, though. See, you make your way down this long winding way, then you have a nice leisurely stroll around the base, then you must make your way back up via a new and different winding way. It's work, I tell you. The kids did not want to go up the new way because they thought we had to then come back down and go up the same way we originally came down. Can I just tell you that the look on their faces was priceless when they realized that once we were at the top, we were done. Phew. What a hike. And what a fun trip. We ended it with ice cream. Mmmmmm.

(Notice the no pants on Baby. It just got too hot. Oh to be two and go pants-less again.)

I wonder if my man will ever grow his hair out? Don't you think that when a man has hair that is thick and rich like a man's hair should be, it should be long? No man-bun style though. Bleh. Kinda like this... But seriously. Who didn't have a crush on Grizzly Adams?  Hunta boi is playing football again. This year, the 2016-17 school year, will be his last year playing high school football. Say what?!? For reals. He's a senior y'all. A SENIOR. Can you hear my panic? Did you just see my eyeballs pop out of my head, roll across the floor, gather dust mites and come a rollin' back to me? That means we (I) only have a limited time left with him at home. The days are slipping away like seconds on a clock. Much as I try, I can't seem to stop that mean old man, Father Time, and his clock that is tick-tick-tocking away. Though I must say, we are SO proud of who he is growing up to be. Of who he is today. And we really are very excited to see where his lif...

I know I've told you before, but I'll say it again. I love to get my hair done. There's just something about having someone else play with my hair that puts me into a hypnotic state. It's soooo relaxing, and I love the feeling of fresh, soft, just done-by-someone-else hair. It's also something that I don't do often for 2 reasons: 1) I'm lazy and don't like having to maintain my hair. 2) It can get pretty pricey. It may be because I fell into one of those hypnotic states that the following disaster occurred. I guess my first clue of impending doom should have been when my stylist decided to get her nails done. At the same time that I showed up for my appointment. Now, I'm a compassionate person, I didn't think it was a big deal, so I shrugged it off, and waited patiently for her to finish. My next sign on the road to "bad hair-dom" was when she asked the stylist next to her what colors were used on my hair previously, because she j...
