it's hard....

being a princess.

Those fancy shoes looks so pretty and sound so nice.

Clickety-click, clickety- clack

marking your comings and goings with staccato.

Making you feel so important and elegant.

It's a shame that they just don't stay on your little feet.


The frustration!

These beautiful shoes just won't cooperate.
Shed a tear or two for the injustice..

And then, maybe, you can just rest.

There's nothing that a good nap won't help with.

Even sparkly, plastic little shoes.

I love my littlest princess.

car conversation

Last weekend we traveled to Grandparents Williams.
On our way we drove over a mountain pass,
where the elevations was 4000+ feet.
Snow mounded on the sides of the road and we
felt like we were driving through a winter wonderland.
The kids wondered why is was 60 at home and no snow?
We talked a little about elevation and how that affects weather.
(I know, I lived in Rexburg for 2 years!)
This seemed to satisfy their curiosity.
From the backseat we heard this declaration from Stella
"In this part of the world, when it's cold, it snows,
In our part of the world, when it's cold, it's WINDY!"
Yes, that about sums up the weather in our part of the world...

A photo, just because I'm nice.
