This weekend we spent a night in a cabin up with some family up in Kamas, Utah. The day before was a winter storm that dumped a ton of snow, so we were surrounded by 3′ of fresh snow. It was so beautiful. This morning I was up early and went for a walk down the road alongside the Provo River. It was quiet, cold, and quite beautiful.
January 4, 2019I was leaving Costco the other day and the sunset was on fire. I had just bought my iPhone Xs a few days earlier so I now had the 2x lens. If you frame things just right you can hide the fact you’re in a bland parking lot.
December 23, 2018Emmett loves his little cow stuffed animal, and that haggard blanket has been by him since he was a little kid. So cute that all kids just have favorite blankets. Elle loves fashion, at least the fashion in her drawer. Today she wanted her super soft panda sweater … and orange basketball shorts. Great combo!
Emmett and Elle love to go to the Bricks and MiniFigs store nearby here in Orem. Emmett just loves to find all sorts of useful pieces for his trucks and trailers. Elle isn’t quite as skilled as Emmett is, but she definitely enjoys putting the blocks together.
On my way to dropping off Sho at the bus stop, I couldn’t help but notice the faint pink coming from the clouds. I love how subtle color can be at times. Of course I had to pull over and take a photo.
Sadly, I was inside for what happened afterwards as the full sunrise showed up. Thankfully, others snagged it.
Elle has had a little bug the past several nights. Some of those nights were pretty rough, and Alicia did most of the heavy lifting. Okay, pretty much all. I hopped up once to help. Last night, however, went smoothly… until about 4:45am when Emmett came in to tell me his blanket was all messed up. So I went and tucked him back in, and then he talked and said Elle had a wet diaper, to which she popped up “dad?”, so I changed her diaper. And then I was up every 15-20 minutes after that for one cry or another, eventually getting Elle out of bed at 6am so Emmett could sleep. This morning, I’m tired.
After about an hour she wanted to sit in her favorite spot and watch a show, but she did not want her picture taken. So I had to sneak a few inAfter Bubble Guppies, and about 2 minutes of My Neighbor Totoro, Elle wanted to get back in the chair to watch PAW Patrol Train Shows on the big iPad.
