Went to see the Witches

On a beautiful Saturday afternoon we ventured out to have some forced family fun. We hadn't done anything for a while and I just wanted to get out and do something together. We love going to visit the witches at Gardner Village so off we went...As we approached the Village we put the pedal to the metal and continued on. It looked extremely crowded. So, Plan B. Off we went up Little Cottonwood Canyon. Sammy and I knew of a few pretty hikes that we went on during girls camp this year so we decided to try those out again. Below are some pictures from the hike. The kids are begging to go back again. It's a little cooler now so not sure if we'll make that happen quite yet. It sure was some much needed memory making with the family.

Just a test

I have thought about coming back and blogging again. This has ALL changed and so it is very foreign to me. I was introduced to facebook and instagram. So, a lot of my quick thoughts and pictures end up on there. I'm not really a fan of either of those but I get on them because that is how I find out things about family and friends and how I share my life with family and friends right now. Sometimes I just want to keep it simple. Why can't life just be simple again? So much going on to keep up with everything and everyone.

To tell you the truth, right now I am at a place in my life where I am happy. Ya, there are bad days or weeks but overall I am happy. We moved this year and I finally feel at home. But it wasn't just the move. I broke my ankle this year and was able to think about a lot of things as I laid on the couch pondering life and who I was. I was able to experience things that I wouldn't have been able to experience if I hadn't broke my ankle.

Chances are, no one reads my blog anymore. I tried to do a cooking blog and I really would like to try that out again. I love to cook.......well bake. It's a therapy for me. I also LOVE to share what I bake. If nothing else, maybe posting here would help get my thoughts out there more. I think I am a funny person but I don't always let others see that side of me.So, whether anyone reads this or not at least I am putting it out there.
