Timpanogous Cave






I've been hearing about this marvelous cave in the foot hills that I had to take the boys to. Everyone said it was a bit steep but paved hike up to the cave. A bit steep is a severe understatement. More like 1.5 miles at a 10+ degree incline, no shade and a jagged rock cliff drop off along the entire right side. The boys actually made it all the way to the top, through the mile long cave and back down again. Of course not with out a lot of grumbling. At one point I was telling Ben that we should climb this path every day until he could run up the mountain. Well a little while later after one of our water breaks Ben takes off running full bore yelling over his shoulder "I'm not doing this every day, I'm running now!" Poor kido.

We'll they really did enjoy the cave when they got to it.
My favorite thing though was Sam falling dead asleep on Bryan's head on the way down. He hiked all the way up, all through the caves and on the way down told dad he needed a lift. Not 30 seconds later he's snoring on dad's head. It's priceless!





The Zoo


Well we usually visit the Zoo once a year and we've been a few times this year. We went with Jared and Family in August and this week the boy's school had a field trip. Sam loves that when I drive for field trips he gets to tag along. He thinks he's part of the school and is already addicted to field trips.

learning

I've been fiddling with this blog for hours at work. I know can you believe they pay me to do this? We'll someone has to be awake at 3am just incase. I think I'm figuring out how to use all the nifty extras. Now I just have to break down and buy a digital camera so I can actually use the computer. I know I know I still can't believe I don't have one either. But I'm too picky to use the point and shoot ones with the delays, they drive me batty!!! And I'm too cheap to buy a nice Digital SLR so I'm stuck with nothing. Maybe my OCD is starting to effect my life.

School is in full swing for the whole Yazzie house hold now. The boys are glad they get to see friends again, and I'm not glad I have busy work homework to do. I don't even get to go see friends at school, Just log on and do busy work. I was worried that I would have to start NP school in January. Nationwide the nurse practitioner degree is becoming a doctorate degree, but not until 2015. So I can take my year off before starting full time again. Work is finally starting to slow down again. We always slow down in the winter. That means I'll be able to get more homework done at work. Again yes they pay me to do that. :)
