We had a really good new year and are off to a great start for 2026. I’m challenging myself to a few things and have just had an amazing Christmas vacation. We did a few fireworks (leftovers we couldn’t use this past 4th of July!) and had some of the neighborhood kiddos come over to see. There were the usual ground ones but my gosh, we had quite a few that were up in the air crazy big for ‘simple’ get-em-from-the-local-tent type! ….I wanted to try out my new phone so drove over to Antelope Island. I am so impressed. I had an older model iPhone before that took the worst pictures so am beyond happy with how this newer version is working. ……I threw in a few pics from our ‘greek night’ that happens quite a bit around here since we love it. ……also, after a few hands of rummy (card game), we noticed some crazy pups and had to take pics.
Fireworks are always fun….and we actually did ours fairly early thinking we’d make neighbors happy and we’d all sleep well. …..apparently, others didn’t get the memo that we celebrate the new year on east coast time!!!!
We have seen so many eagles lately. Beautiful. These guys did not want to get up!
Brownie….looking rather sweet here
Sawyer was the photographer here.
This guys got ridiculously close….he had an injured friend in front of him so I like to think he was in protection mode….
wow…just gorgeous day!
I loved the reflection here.
The sky was looking ominous. It’s been a strange winter here with the warmest temperatures on record.
low water levels but make for pretty scenery. The ducks are probably confused with our temperatures.
Mikey taking pics too…
Learning how to use all the buttons to focus.
more focus learning…..
I sure look tired here!
Connor was helping out with some lamb and beef gyro meat while I made some fried bread. Christmas isn’t truly over until Jesus is baptized so I keep up the decorations for a bit…plus, notice the dark from the window…is it 430? or 8?
Yummy!
Snoop looking pretty darn cute.
Brownie knocked out!!!
I hope however you came to see my scrapbook/blog post that you have a fabulous day!
Enjoyed hearing what’s happening around there. Remembering some of it from Mikey’s conversations with me on the phone. So nice to relive it. And seeing the pictures as you tell. Looking forward to the next one.🤗
Ps I really like your dogs.
Hopefully, I’ll start slowly getting pics from our trips up….so much harder than I even imagined…but once I do it a few times, I’ll remember.
