This past week my computer has been running soooo ssslllloooowwww! I could hardly stand it. I would give up working on anything. Today I had my bestest bro come over and help me clean up my computer. You see, he’s a genus when it comes to computers. Woo hoo. Thanks Ryan. Everything is running so much more smoothly. I think my typing is even faster.
Now, on to our latest adventure… we when up to the mountains this weekend and stayed the night at my friends cabin. It was such a nice get away and we had a lovely hike on Saturday. There were still piles of snow but the warm sun was out and we could watch the winter world melt away before our eyes.
We hiked to Donut Falls. It’s a real nice family hike; a mellow trail, pretty scenery with a smash bang finish. The water fall actually falls through a hole in the rock. Super cool. It was hard to see the actual donut though because off all the snow.
I guess there are some moose that call the area home. We’ve seen them before but today we only saw their droppings. I think they must hike the trail whenever they are bored because it was obvious that they had been there -more than once. Isaac couldn’t help but point out all the piles. He’d point and say “Mama, poop.” In order to get a good idea of what he sounds like… try saying poop without opening your mouth. Let your lips flap just a little bit and you’ve got it. Yup, I just about got sick of hearing that. “Mama, poop.” “Yes, Isaac, I see another pile of Poop. Thanks for pointing it out!” I made sure to take a picture for your viewing pleasure.
You’re welcome.
Here’s a pretty hummingbird I captured. He kept humming around in the air making that fun whistling noise. He sat still just long enough for me to catch a picture.
We had such a nice time that I’m looking forward to our next adventure.
I’ve been working on a couple new template so stay tuned.


























I like the sound of that…also…”MANDA POOP”
Get used to the poop talk. I thought we were passed potty language, but apparently it’s a prerequisite for coolness in second grade. It’s like starting at square 1, but this time he can argue about the harmlessness of the words and he just thinks he is so hilarious! I have to admit that’s not one of those fights I’m going to pull the big guns out for. Can’t wait to see you in 1 more month!
Does your guru brother want to come fix my computer too? Not only is mine running slow, but I also lost my external hard drive-panic! I haven’t given up totally on the hope that my pics can be recovered, but AAAAAA! I wish I had some adventures to write about, I might even put up with a little poop!
I loved your description of Isaac’s poop talk. I could totally see that cute little mouth — closed, of course, but slightly flapping — saying the word “poop.” I’m sure it would get old having him say it over and over, but I’d love to hear it for myself at least once or twice.
In Alaska there are wonderful treasures to buy-Yes you guessed it made out of moose poop. It is also plentiful there. Cute pictures of the fam! Can’t wait to see you all. Love ya!
I really REALLY have to thank you for the poop picture. It was so… what’s the word I’m looking for…. poop-y? LOL
Thanks for sharing.
Glad I could help with the computer. Thanks again for dinner!
