Photo Tag!

1. Go to: my documents/my pictures or its equivalent
2. Go to your 6th file
3. Go to your 6th picture
4. Blog about it
5. Tag 6 people. (I can hardly stand the suspense!)


So, I took this picture  on a bike ride (surprised, right?)  This was Steph and Matt's first bike ride with our sweet nephew Jake.  Brent rode his road bike towing Jake in a trailer, and Debbie road her mountain bike (last time she does that!)  Scott and Chari rode Brent and Debbie's tandem.  Whenever I'm out and about, I keep a camera handy to take pictures of crazy bike racks to email my fellow rack nuts, Rick, RJ, and Flick.  This one was about the coolest I've seen.  I bet if you put a downhill bike on the back, you could pop a wheelie in the Smart Car!

I hereby tag Katie Robinson, Erin Featherstone, Cherie Jorgensen, Marion Robinson, Roy Padilla, and Jeff Robinson.  You're it!!!

Non-traditional Valentine's Day

We decided to take a different approach to Valentine's Day this year.  We decided to go four wheeling and hiking in the Superstition Mountians!  We had a lot of fun, and got the Jeep really muddy.  We actually ran into snow!  Enjoy the pictures!

Matt's Many Hats


Matthew has always loved hats.  From his Union Pacific hat that the conductor on a train gave him to his most recent collection of fedoras, he has more hats than you can shake a stick at!  This picture was taken of our nephew, Jake, at Johnny Rockets last night.  He actually wanted to wear it!  Just for a couple of seconds, though!

Sunflower Mine 4-Wheeling!


We decided to take the Jeep out since we both had the day off.  Looking at the handy trail book we picked up a couple of months ago, we decided to explore some new territory.  Sunflower Mine looked ideal.  We don't have a stock SUV, so our rock clearance is HUGE!


The "Mystery Cave", kinda like the one where Luke faces Darth Vader, but it turns out to be his head in the Darth Vader mask.  Did that give anyone nightmares?

Sunflower Mine - they produced Mercury here.  For more pictures, visit http://www.ghosttowns.com/states/az/sunflower.html


Real or fake?  Does our Utah Rock Art specialist want to weigh in on this?


The stream is the trail!!!


Can you spot the border collie?  (Not wearing a red striped shirt)


A boy and his dog!


Now that's some impressive articulation!




A happy boy!

Dog Tired!


We were all pretty tired after this boisterous Holiday!
