Snow-Shoeing...

First off Keith and Charayye got married! It was really, really nice and seriously great to see everyone that came up for the special day. I'm waiting until we get the pictures back from the photographer....so more on that later!


Uncle Lar took Shane and I snow-shoeing for the first time through American Fork Canyon. I still can't believe how fun that group was. I told Shane I wanted to always stay in shape and be active so I can be hard core like them when I'm older. They said it was an absolute perfect day to do this because of the storm the night before. We started just as the sun came up. I've never seen this side of our 'earth' before. I'm not sure many people have! Talk about Reverence! I thought to myself, "these animals are just about as lucky as it gets to live out here". Because of the fresh snow fall, we never came across any other paths and I was in no hurry whatsoever to get home. When we made it to the top we overlooked Heber Valley, and that alone made the entire day worth it!! Too bad we had to make a trip to the ER late that night from getting sicker than sick! Note to self: next time (when it's 10 degrees) cover my head and wear warmer socks!



After mile seven, my hip-flexor muscle on the right side was not agreeing with all the miles we were climbing.... when I fell over, Larry decided it was a good time to bury me. He called it my "initiation" into the snow-shoeing world
Look at it!! There aren't words so I won't even try to describe the beauty and how I felt being a part of nature that day!

This is why I LOVE living here! Looks like you guys had a lot of fun! But I am so ready for the sun to shine again!

You two are too cute!

How beautiful! That must have been so much fun! It's too bad you got sick though. Thanks for the tips on dressing warmly. I'll be sure to cover my head if I'm out in the snow.

That is soooo beautiful! What a great experience- except for the ER. That's too bad! Those pictures are amazing though. Is snow-shoeing a workout? And I can't wait to see pics of Keith's wedding. Don't make me wait too long! I'm so happy for Keith!

And you asked about the quantities I order for my website- well, the only things I order are the fabric and blank onesies, and I make or have my products made... so it is whatever quantity I want to make! I'm not sure if I answered your question? Email me though- cheliseb@aol.com

Seriously, email me.

Are you going to email me?

You're not, are you?

You better!

Wow, those pics are stunning. But man, I don't know if I could handle teh 10 degree weather, you are one tough cookie. I am totally going to get those books you told me about. They sound intriguing. Plus the fourth Twilight book doesn't come out until Aug. 2nd. Oh and there is a third book to the ones you told me called Chosen. I looked them up on Amazon.
