The pond is really coming along! A little greenery was definitely needed.

I am finally getting my painting back on. Here is a bird I did and I am working on a coyote. After that I am going to do a painting of Nala for Lisa!

We made it 2 years! Yesterday was our 2nd anniversary there seems to be a bit of a trend developing here... Honeymoon---Rocking V restaurant, 1st anniversary---Rocking V, 2nd Anniversary---Rocking V. The food was great though. We're still madly in love and all is well.

Last weekend Daron and I went to a resort outside of Zion to use their pool. For a day pass you can swim, mountain bike, play basketball, volleyball etc. They have rock climbing, horseback riding, and ATVing for an extra charge. We just wanted to get in the water. It is only about 30 miles from the house so it is a nice day trip. The photo of the red rock with a weeping waterfall is about 2 miles from the house. I discovered it on a bike ride to find plants for the backyard pond.

A couple of weeks ago Daron and I went to Mesquite, NV with some friends. It is amazing to me that we can drive from Utah to Arizona to Nevada in two hours. We only stayed the day (because of the dogs!) but had a wonderful time. Our friends, Laura and Bill, stayed the whole weekend to celebrate Laura's birthday. We gambled when we first arrived (big surprise)then we went bowling, swimming, and to dinner. The guys ate at the casino (shocker) and Laura and I enjoyed Chinese Food - yummy. No chinese restuarants in Kanab. Then Laura and I went to the spa to get hour massages (love it!) When we met the boys at the casino they were winning and Daron and I headed out. The good thing about not staying the night ~ we left while we still had Darons winnings which paid for my massage, our food, bowling, gas etc. Yippy!
