The Little Things

Being a stay at home mom has definitely made me appreciate the little things more, especially when it comes to Dunken.  I don't have a lot going on most days.  I spend a lot of quiet time with my little guy.  This may seem boring to some people, I know Jensen would probably go crazy if he were home all day every day, but I love the quiet moments I get to spend with him.  I love watching him grow (although it's way too fast!) and staring at his cute toes, little hands, small nose, and mouth and chin that are an exact tiny replica of his dad's.  It's amazing to see all of his facial expressions, and how quickly they change.   I sure love being his mom!

Arches National Park

My favorite thing to do in Moab is visiting the arches.  Even though I've been a few times now they are still amazing to see.  I love the contrast of the red rock and the bright blue sky.

Dunken was pretty fussy during the short hike up to the North Window, so Jensen went back to the car to get his pacifier.  Once he had that he was much better. :)

Fins and Things Jeeping

Dunken survived the cold night and woke up nice and happy.  After eating breakfast we got out snacks together and headed for Fins and Things to go off-roading.  I wasn't going to go at first because we had Dunken with us and I didn't want his head getting bumped around, and I hate off-roading, but I decided it would be more fun than being stuck at our campsite for hours.

I don't think Dunken was too excited about going either ;).

After a while he got used to it and took a nice long nap.  I had to hold his head still over the extra rough parts because it was bobbing around so much.

More snoozing.

Dunken survived off roading and came back and rested while we packed up camp.

Quick Trip to Moab

Every year since Jensen and I have been married we have taken a trip down to Moab.  We did again this year, but the trip was a little different than our past trips. We went in April! Not in the kill you by 8am heat of July and we have a little stinker along with us!

We left on a Tuesday after Jensen got off work and didn't find a camping spot until around 11pm.  I was grumpy because he had left so late and worried that Dunken wouldn't sleep well because he had slept most of the car ride, but he did great.  It was pretty cold so after he woke up for the first time I just held him on my chest to make sure he stayed warm enough.
