Rock Canyon

Last Wednesday Adam and I went to Rock Canyon and tried out this route that Christian and Adam put up a couple of weeks ago. In the picture of me, the big orange corner is Adam's finger! It was really fun, and I led two out of the five pitches! It wasn't technically hard, but it was good practice for multi-pitch climbing. That first pic was taken at the top of the climb, and you can see the trails that go up Rock Canyon, and Provo city itself!

Jonathan

Here's some adorable pictures of Jonathan that Megan sent me. Isn't he cute?! He's wearing the sweater I made him in the pic with the pacifier.

Candy Buttons

Aren't these just the cutest things ever? I'm planning on getting the mold and making some myself. I'm trying to decide whether to make them out of the colorful candy melts or with dark and milk chocolate. I learned how to temper regular chocolate so you can put it in molds, but I haven't tried it yet. On the other hand, why not make both? :) Bake it Pretty has the blog where they explain how to make them, and you can go through their links to buy the molds and other accessories. I love buttons, and chocolate, so how can I lose?

The Gang

Here's some pics I've taken the last few days... Adam and Carl playing video games, with Gypsy "helping", and Skreeter curled up on my pillow.

Kreeter and Gypse

This is a rare picture of our two kitties actually getting along... Usually if they get this close, it's to wrestle. Aren't they cute? They were even cleaning each others' faces!

Mango's New Nest

Mango has found a new resting place that he likes a whole lot... If I'm wearing a sweatshirt, he'll even climb completely inside! I think he finds our house a trifle chilly. He also likes sitting on top of the fish tank when the light's been on because it's warm.

My New Nephew!

I have a nephew! His name is Jonathan Ansom Rytting. This is the best picture I've got so far. It's pretty fuzzy because it's off of Skype using a computer camera. He's only a few days old. He was due on the 20th of December, but he was born on the 22nd. My sister Megan and her husband Anton are very happy, and very tired already!
