    Official time is 2:19:09 so when you take off 10 minutes (Jamie's pit stop) I ran it in approximately 2:09:09.

February in review

An app on Matt's phone makes these short videos of pictures and video he takes.  This one is for the month of February.  It includes puppet shows, Matt practicing the ukulele (he was trying to inspire Nate to learn to play it too), reading, playing at home, playing with Valentines at Grandma's house, camping in the great room, and early morning cuteness. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/OEH0GXAaIR8 (It won't upload, I think because of Matt's youtube preferences, but the link should work.)

Can you tell where we went to school?  It seems like we end up with an inordinate amount of BYU clothing in our bags whenever we go on vacation. She kept reaching for my sun glasses and so I finally handed them to her.  She was very pleased. Playing in the hotel room.  Matt really wanted to do a hike in some narrows and so we did this one.  It was really wide here, at the beginning.  We went a mile or so in and the canyon walls were only about 15 or 20 feet apart from each other. An artistic looking rock collection, photographed by Matt (who had the camera most of the time). This is one tired baby.  We didn't have a pacifier with us so...
