New Shoes!

I got new shoes this week! Aren't they cute? We celebrated MLK day on Monday by taking them out on the rocks. We found a fun place to climb in St. George and after Matthew and I scrambled around a little, we let the girls have a turn. They loved every second of it. Well, except for being lowered down after climbing up. They are used to rappelling and being in control of their descent. It was a little disconserting to them to just be lowered. It was a kick to watch them. We were righteously proud. Enjoy the pictures!

You might notice that Gwen and Bethany are barefoot. This was because we weren't planning on them climbing; we thought they'd just be playing on the ground. So they both wore boots. And you can't climb in boots. Hence, the bare feet.

I love love love this picture:

I'm sure the sun is just teasing us this week, and cold weather is looming in the near future, but this weekend was so lovely! It felt so good to be outside soaking up the warm sun on the rocks. I caught this cute picture of my hazel-eyed beauty:

and just a blurry one of my brown-eyed girl:

And...

I didn't want to have to do this, but you leave me no choice. Here comes the smolder:
