Happy Birthday Ty

Happy birthday today Ty dearest!  I can hardly believe you are a quarter of a century!  One thing I know for sure. . . You are my all time favorite brother! ;)

Canning time again

And boy have we been busy! Can't wait to eat all the deliciousness this winter ;)

Nap time at the cabin

a walk and a wash

Court and I love to take the dogs on walks while we are up at bear lake.  The dogs obviously love the outing and court and I love the opportunity to take snap some beautiful pics.

All was going well until a naughty little doggy ( who will remain nameless ) decided to roll around in some goose poop!

Needless to say our scenic walk was cut short so that we could go back and bathe the little stinker.  She wasn't too happy about it, but mama wasn't too happy about having to wash that awful smell off either!  

At least there was a warm towel and snuggling waiting

. . .

for her :)

Limber Pine Hike

Up at Bear Lake there is this hike called the Limber Pine Trail.  We haven't done it for years, until someone last weekend suggested we do!

It was so fun to see the wildlife and we nicknamed it butterfly alley because literally everywhere there were bright orange butterflies everywhere where we looked!

I love doing the forgotten parts of a vacation over again to remind yourself how much you love something :)
