Another one bites the dust (so to speak).

She couldn't have chosen a more appropriate shirt for the day!

$3 t-shirts + tie-dye kit = SOOO MUCH FUN

I've been feeling kind of guilty that I haven't done many projects with the kids this summer because I've been so busy with my own. So during one of our trips to the craft store I picked up some white tees and a tie-dye kit and let them create.









I know it was torture leaving the shirts alone for 24 hours to let the dye set, but they were very patient. And didn't they turn out AWESOME?!

Back In New Mexico Again!

I got to go to New Mexico again this summer—this time Dad got to come along! We left after I got off work on Thursday and stayed overnight in Farmington, NM, which is halfway. Today, we surprised Mommer by showing up at the mountain house at 3 o’clock this afternoon!

It is pretty wet on the road up to the house; at one place, we felt like we were fording a small stream because of the runoff from all the rain lately! Mommer says that they have been having daily torrential rains here—more water than some locals say that they have seen before! Here are some photos that Mommer took the other day of some ‘waterfalls’ around the house here… Do you recognize where these are pictures of?

It didn't rain today and was quite pretty, actually. The picture below is one that I took today of the pond. The water was running over the road in the storm that Mommer photographed! The water has also backed up behind the small dam that Popper built behind the house. This is a lot of water!!

There is still a steady flow of water running down the mountain, so we have our own natural ‘mountain stream’ white noise to listen to! We are enjoying the cool weather and hope that we don't have to come home in a canoe!

Latest Update!!

So we're officially moving down to Orem on the 24th. We found an apartment right by campus (UVU) and we're both way excited for the change. This is short but we just wanted everyone to know where we're at with it.
