My Thoughts on Web 2.0

From watching this youtube video, it really made me think about how our world has changed and how we depend so much now on the internet and being connected. It is hard to think how we lived without the internet and HTML and Web 2.0. Everything we ever want or need is at our fingertips and now we can let the world know how we feel about it, and anyone can read what we say and comment back.
I thought this movie was very well done and really got the point across about the changes we have made and how it has changed our society. It is very interesting to see clips like this and it is because of Web 2.0 that we can and I believe it is a great thing! But then it can be used for not so great things as well. I guess everything has its pro's and con's.

Family Pictures

My sister who took pictures of Cali's blessing for us was nice enough to take some famliy pictures for us too! She really is a great photographer and we really appreciate her doing this for us! One day we will figure out something to repay the favor!

These are just a few of them and they are some of our favorites....I won't put all of them up...I won't make you look at that many pictures of our mugs! Thanks again Tami for doing this for us!

Fall is Here!

Jed and decided to go for a drive up Cedar Mountain today since we can see all of the leaves changing from our front windows...and the fact that I keep asking him when we were going to go for a drive so we could see all the leaves....unlike last year where we went and we were a week late and all the leaves had fallen off and it wasn't very pretty. So after Jed got done taking his big LSAT test today, and of course after watching football for a little bit, I finally got him to go on a drive with me and we found some really beautiful snapshot worthy places!

One we took as we were driving up and with a nice cabin in there too!
Cali and I getting out and helping dad get ready to find the perfect spot for him to put the camera on the car so he could be in the picture too

Our family picture...ok so the opportunity just presented itself for it to become our family picture...we didn't have the intention of doing this...even though we probably should have!

Anlother view of the mountain closer to the top. I loved all the different shades of yellow and red there were! It was a beautiful drive!

Oh and we decided to buy this house since we found a really good deal on it and we have a great view of all of cedar city and more! Yeah right! There was another cabin not too far from this one that was for sell and we took a flyer just for the fun of it and it was $799,000 just for a CABIN! This is a HOUSE! I don't want to know what this one cost!

I do love fall with all the leaves changing and I really like the fact that all the holidays are coming...but the only fact I don't like that seems to loom over my head once I know fall is here is the fact that winter is that much closer, and with that comes cold, wet, and snowy days that seem to last a lifetime! Oh well, maybe this time next year Jed and I will be in Florida for law school...so I guess I can handle it for one more year!

Yeah...Summer is here!

One of our first outings for the summer (we did try and go on one before and go fishing but that didn't turn out so well so that's why it is not being mentioned) we went with some of our friends that we know who live down in Hurricane/Toqueville area now and who have a year pass to any national park and they were nice enough and invited us to go with them! I didn't realize how close Zion's really is from Cedar and once we got down to their house it is only like 20-30 minutes away! We went down in the afternoon and just stayed for the day. It was so much fun and even though we didn't go all out and do the hard and difficult hikes, we had a baby with only a front carrier which gets heavy really fast and a stroller, we enjoyed our time to just relax and really see the sites of what Zion's has to offer.

After we ate the picnic we packed we were ready to catch the shuttle and head up to where we were going to hike....it really was bright outside but because of how tall the mountains are it was all shaded

This is at one of the tunnels while you are driving through Zion's

This at the end of our hike and it is called the Weeping Rock, it was very cool and offered a great view!

We decided to walk along the River Walk path and found some rocks to play on

Me, Cali, and Megan riding the shuttle

This is all of us thay went...a nice group while waiting for the shuttle

Jed and Cali...this is Jed's new favorite thing to do with Cali, and we just thought it made a cute picture

This is a picture frpm the bottom of our hike

And this is just a cute picture of Cali smiling....she loves being outside

On our way back down from the hike

This is at the bottom of the hike as well, we just liked the picture it made

This was such a fun trip, we really had so much fun! Thanks again Megan and Colten for inviting us! We miss having you in Cedar but we are so glad that we are still able to come visit you!
