And we have standing...

James pulled himself up to stand today. Once again he has mastered a gross motor skill right before his well visit. It seems like each time we've gone the doctor has said if he's not so such and such by the next time, then it will be time to worry and possibly send him to a specialist. Well, thanks James for waiting till the last minute to do things, but at least you're advanced in your fine motor skills or this mom would completely go crazy with worry. 



Since you like to make my life interesting by waiting till the last minute. I guess I'll have to wait till July for you to walk.

Another Little Camping Trip

Well, being married to a Paleontologist, there will probably never be a shortage of camping trips for us. Joe headed out early Friday with his dad to San Rafael Swell in search for swim tracks. We joined him Friday night. Then, Saturday morning we met up with my sister and her family and off we went for a day of adventure. The main purpose for this trip was so Joe could find more swim tracks and measure the ones at Capitol Reef for his current research project. I already posted a bunch of the pictures on Facebook and since most of my readers are my friends on there I'm just going to post a few on here.

Saturday:
Saw Crystal Geyser by Green River

Lunch at Hole N' The Rock in Moab

Visited the Dinosaur Museum in Blanding
 We also saw some Native American Cave Dwellings in Blanding, but Joe didn't take any pictures while we were there.
Searching for Swim Tracks by Bear's Ears
 Sunday:
Visited Natural Bridges National Monument

Drove Past Lake Powell. Some day we'll go back for a visit.

Stopped at Capitol Reef, so Joe can do measurements on the Swim Tracks there.
James and I played in the dirt while Joe worked.
Once again, it was nice to get away for the weekend. We had a good time, though Joe didn't find any of the swim tracks that he was looking for.

Happiness is...

being able to shower before nap time.
