Saileen has reached 17

17 is a fun age. She drives herself everywhere

She likes to hang out with friends

She loves to do make up art and painting 

she enjoys cooking and baking

She loves to read and reads lots of books. Her favorites are Percy Jackson and Harry Potter and Regency, proper romance books. 

She has graduated High School

and is working on her Associates degree

She is a hard worker and a good kind person

She is almost an adult and I can't believe it! I am so proud of her and who she is and who she is becoming! 

 

April Sunshine and snow!

Saileen made cute little pillows for the Barbie beds

Saileen doing some painting

Looks really good! 

Pruning the trees....always a big job!

Saileen got pretty sunburned! Yikes!

And somehow I got sunburned too...that's going to be an interesting tan line.

another mantel

looks nice installed! 

I'm tellin' ya...this kid and the selfies! Ha ha

This is life with these 2

Headed out for an adventure

We went on a little hike to silver lake

We are all ready to get goin! 

The smiles for miles

Lots of climbing and exploring

and possibly wizarding

Beautiful nature

hiking on down the road

what a view! 

it was pretty cold 

The clouds started moving in

Puddles are a great photo op

who knew rocks and water could look so cool!
 

We were sufficiently protected from any dangers

There was still snow on the ground

But the clouds brought with it.... more snow

It literally started snowing on us! 

It...was...freezing! 

So we hiked back down in the snow

as you can see...it was awesome! Ha ha 

Today he is.....

Bucky, from Marvel 

Bucky does not smile much, he is in character

Also Miles Morales...depending on the day

Angel/Devil look

These, were yummy! Whoopie pies! 

Hanging out with Charlie and Kensi

We still wear masks...

Maruices is the place to be

Crusin' with friends

Cleaning the Garage.....not the favorite

If I made a book with all her selfies....

It would be a best seller in the comedy section!

Building a bike shed! 

So the bikes would be in the garage anymore

And hopefully they can get them out easier

MyLee had a special day 

She got her patriarchal blessing! It was an awesome experience! 

Got a brand for the projects he does! 

Sitting at home depot.....freezing, trying to block the wind

It wasn't really working

Our second adventure this month

 was across the lake and south a bit to Jensen Utah 

It was still pretty brown but still pretty

It was a little chilly still...but not bad! 

Of course we must do rock skipping

Some of us prefer to watch.

And that is fine by us! 

Living his best life! 

Learning technique

Practice those skills

A boy in nature

Refining your technique 

prooooobly too big to skip...that one is a plopper

Dino museum 

She loves her Cacti

Leaving our mark on the world

It may have gotten cold time to time

Hieroglyphs are cool

Climbing the rocks

hiking in the desert

but there was sunshine 

and rocks to climb

and selfies to take

and beautiful things to see

even the desert can be pretty

in it's own way

fun caves to explore

or try to lift them

more selfies....always selfies! 

serious poses

and smiles

cool rocks to clime

no shortage of cool scenery

the stairs in the dirt

called for a cool picture

checking out the dino bones

at the top of the canyon

the side of the canyon were soo tall! 

Trying to read the hieroglyphs...I am sure we can figure out what they mean. 

Wiped them out, and had a lot of fun!
