West Yellowstone continued

Here are the kids on the rocks by the Upper Falls. I took the picture of the Falls from looking down. It was beautiful.

West Yellowstone

Here we are in West Yellowstone at a couple of scenic stops. The white stuff behind Mark and the kids is actually snow. (We were here in July!) The water was freezing cold. Here is an elk we saw along the side of the road. Look at those antlers!

Here are a few pictures of us at the Buffalo Bill Musuem in Cody. The kids area was the favorite part. Jacob liked the guns. And Mark liked the beaver lodge.

Here are Mark and Jacob standing by a Wyoming sign on a windy twisty road as we drove to Cody. The road gave us a chance to explain to our children the meaning of hairpin turns which there were numerous of these. And this was supposed to be the best way into Cody!

Scrapbooking Thoughts

I have been working on a scrapbook for our school secretary so scrapbooking has been in my thoughts recently. Putting together a 30 page album in three weeks time is a little intimidating. Especially when all your hard work is going for someone else while your own albums sit in limbo. It has helped me learn a couple of techniques for making albums go faster. I actually want to get my Disney trip album finished (started would be more accurate) because it suddenly seems more doable than in the past. Today I "had" to go buy a few more stickers to finish the secretary's album and walked out with a couple more sheets than I planned on because those school stickers can always work in my own albums. The reward for doing the secretary's scrapbook will be seeing her face as she reads the messages of love that people have sent. However, I believe the two best parts of scrapbooking are making an album with a friend and seeing your children look through the albums that you have created.

A new haircut and look!

I thought I better show off my new haircut before I come out West to visit my family. I decided to go for a new look and this is what we came up with. Straight hair which I haven't had in a very long time. I love the new look, even though I have to borrow Noelle's hairdryer to get it to look right.

My Spring Flowers

These are three of my spring flowers. The pansies keep coming up year after year. Spring has finally arrived here in Minnesota.

The April showers have brought May flowers.

Have a happy spring!
