On the Freeway

I have four kids, driving in the car on the freeway. I am always amazed at what beautiful scenery is given each day I look out the window. I grabbed the camera, told Aspen to capture the shadow in the picture along with the mountains, clouds, the sign that says 'create a stir' and the green water tower.  Does anyone know where I am on the freeway? Please tell me.

I try to teach my children to look at the beautiful surroundings of the natural landscapes and the predictible randomness of the weather. The beautiful winters of Utah. I Love it.

Target

I took the kids shopping at Target on Monday after ice cream with the family. I needed to buy toothpaste, and Dylan needed a belt. While Aspen and Madison were looking at swimming suits, I found a few things for the boys. The girls had to try on fifteen suits, of which none worked out, and the boys where playing hide and seek. After about five minutes, Austin walks past me many times without Dylan. I asked Austin "Where is Dylan? You better find him!" Just as I said that, the intercome came on over the whole store, calling a 'Shanna' to the front of the store. Hm, I thought, The intercome is loud and annoying.  Then again the person on the intercome called a 'Shauna Jackson' to the front of the store.  Wrong last name, Dylan's middle name, he is missing. Then, the person called 'Shauna' to the front of the store.  I jetted to the front of the store to see four lady employees standing there to make sure a little four year old finds his mother.  I walked back to the fitting rooms, told the girls to put away everything, "We're leaving!"  found some nesseccities for everyone, even Ryan and checked out, got to the car, put everything in, even the kids.(ya, i know miracle) and asked "who plays hide-and-seek in a store with a four year old? Are you insane?!"

Swim suit shopping will have to happen another time, another place, and without boys!

And i forgot toothpaste!  ahhh!
