Our party continued the next day and we hiked up to the Wind Caves in Logan Canyon. It was a good day for it. Not too hot. The kids did run into three rattlesnakes on the trail though. Sebastian was sad that I never got a good picture of one.
Logan Canyon is so beautiful!
Aww, Elena is the best!
The wind caves are pretty cool. Me like.
Typical of my pictures of Isabel, she'll never stop and pose for me. 😩 Just have to snap ones when she's not looking.
Silly pictures are always the easiest to get.
Navy Bean!
I love this picture. So cute, all the toddler-ish age kids.
When I was walking down the mountain, I was in the rear with Efraim and kept hearing all this honking. I thought there must have been a crash in the canyon or something. When I reached the bottom I realized it was just our kids. 😂
I am *hurray* a stay-at-home mom. I retired many years ago from a long,(4 yr) illustrious career in nursing *boo, hiss*. Most of all, I love Leo (mi papacito esposo de Colombia) and Ana, Elena, Isabel, Sebastian, Nicolas, Jubal, and Efraim (mis hijos). My other passion is also dark and rico and from South America--that would be chocolate. Basically I like to eat chocolate, eat chocolate icecream, eat frozen hot chocolates from Dairy Queen, eat Peppermint Yorks, Junior Mints, and of course dark chocolate truffles. Okay, now that I've wiped the slobber off my chin from thinking about all of that, I'll get on to the rest of my blog. Oh, and I'm trying to learn Spanish but spend too much time blogging here instead.
"Managing a home involves much more than keeping a house clean, organized, and attractive. These skills are important...but these skills are only a means to an end. The paramount objective is to create a setting where family and friends are comfortable and happy, where there are good dinners and good times, where there is fun and laughter, where children acquire good habits and are taught life skills and how to be self-reliant and responsible, where challenges are faced by coupling temporal endeavors with eternal perspectives, where joy through gospel teaching and living prevails, where kindness and respect reign supreme, where love is strong enough to bind the family forever, and where children are nurtured toward eternal life."

“Motherhood is near to divinity. It is the highest, holiest service to be assumed by mankind. It places her who honors its holy calling and service next to the angels.” Elder Boyd K. Packer - November 1993 Ensign
"Dear Prude,
Sober of not, I am forever yours."

"Before I got married I had six theories about bringing up children; now I have six children and no theories."
