1. To go on an extended walk for pleasure or exercise.
2. To rise, especially to rise upward out of place.Jasmine decided to come along, even though she had to be lifted up just once!

Mr. Hector demonstrating what his kids have done through the ages! Yup, they tried to resemble the tree as best as they could! I think he did a pretty grand job!

Dad, looking as dapper as ever with a gorgeous view in the background!

Dad and Christa as we wait for people to climb up a hole.And there they are!

My brother and I! Did I ever mention how much I love him?!?!?

Grace, happy as ever! You see, she calls herself "Queen of all Dogs", so having a dog by her side is what places that grin on her face! Or maybe she's just enjoying herself! =)

Looking out at the beautiful view and God's awesome creation!

Resting......on the edge! Sounds fun?

With a few more! This flower was amazing! It only grow up in the mountain along the rocky sides!



On our way down, which was much easier the going up!

Trying to find the best way to go.

Well, there we have it! I suppose this is going to stretch out into more then 5 post! Crazy how many pictures one can take capturing life as it goes by! I'm so thankful for cameras, else we wouldn't have any pictures to remind us how this looked WAY back then! Y'all be blessed this week and try to find God in the smallest of things and thank Him for each little treasure He gives us to remind us what a powerful and awesome God we serve!

Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!? {insert smile}

    I've never actually made it to the top. When I went in November, we only made it to the whole in ceiling. Then again, I was pregnant... *grin*

    Maybe I'll get up to the top this year!

    It looks like you all had a great time! I was really bummed that I did not go with you all. It is lots of fun hiking up to the head.

    I think that is excuse enough Tiff.;)

    It not too bad, although we rested a bunch of times! But, all-in-all, we had a marvelous time! Next time I'm out there we all have to go up! Maybe try to bring a picnic up there too! Lovely view and all shouldn't be seen in just a matter of minutes!

    And yes Tiff, you had the BEST excuse! =)

    So bummed to miss this outing, but I'm glad y'all had such a great time! I have some great pictures of the hillside taken from afar, but it looks like you were able to get up close and personal. :-) Well done, indeed.

Added this one, just cause I like it best! =) What I've been working on, because these are much needed very soon! The Spare- oom is for my sister and brother-in-law. They are putting it above their baby's room which is also the guest room/stash room/sewing room! Couldn't decide which one I liked better....=P 1.... and 2! This is for my brother and soon-to-be Sister-in-law! I've made three of these and have gotten a good report...so this is what I give when people are getting married! =) Now to go conquer my Saturday, which it is now snowing after a HUGE rain/thunder storm last night. Anyone else have as random weather as we have?!?!? Y'all come back now, ya hear?!?!?

So, as promised, here is PART 2 of our crazy weather! Snow cone? THE SUN IS SHINNING!!!! The three who were brave enough to venture into the great unknown! William and his "guys". Pulling Em out of a drift! Our lane.... The neighbor was kind enough to move the snow to the sides of the rode....thus making HUGE walls on either side! In the country there a LOTS of new games to play. THIS one is called FIND THE DRIVEWAY! Em in a drift.... One happy and rather cold girl! He's not sad.... he's a happy boy! Emma, cooking in style..... Abby stayed inside..she thought it was a better view from the window. Is there anything better then a nice cup of Chai tea while looking out at a frozen wasteland? Some vanilla (I know, very random picture) to make.... White and milk chocolate cookies for the kind neighbor who shoveled our drive!! Abby reading by a nice warm fire.....still not ready to go outside! Abby wrote a blog-post yesterday...I thought it was really cute and I'm su...

Well, here I am after a FULL day of snow, sun, family, friends, fun, and sweet fellowship! Wow! What can I say....it was cold, fun, crazy and did I mention it was cold? Our day started with sauteing the onions and garlic. Adding the beef and other such stuff to make a great southern Chili! Of course we had to make one not so spicy for those who cannot tolerate the taste of a Chipotle pepper! So, below we have Jessica (who did go out and play in the snow) stirring the stuff in a BIG pot! When I woke up the sun wasn't out....I was pretty bummed but was okay about it since we were going to have fun. The sun came out right before the Evans family arrived!! *bliss* God must have sent a blessing my way! Today is Jedidiah Evans Birthday, so we all got to sing for him!! Here is the delicious cake that Grace made for him!! Abby and Cara having fun by their secret snowball stash! =) I told Josiah he looked like he came out of a magazine....whatchya think?!?! Some of the girls stop for a pi...
