Janers had this fun Middle Name blog post tag and I thought it would be fun to participate but include my whole fam. The idea is to list one fact about yourself using each letter of your middle name.Dearly loves taking pictures of clouds in a blue sky.

Ice... growing up in Idaho I've had numerous experiences with ice. In this family photo I remember an icicle falling or dripping on my head and on Joey's head. How funny that it happened right during the photo! And I've had way too many experiences with slipping on the ice and biffing it especially during my times at Ricks College.

Apples... I remember many after-school snacks of sliced apples dipped in caramel. These memories are fun not only because of the snack, but that we got to sit at the kitchen bar and tell our mom all about our day. I've had many favorite types of apples from Gala to Pink Lady to Fuji. I love crisp sweet ones mainly.

Nearly bursting with excitement to go hiking this summer. I know it's not the same intensity when hiking with kids, but I'm looking forward to heading to the mountains and enjoying some fresh air and exercise. In the next few years I want to plan trips to Arches, Zions, Mt. Timpanogos (going to the top baby! ... without the kiddies, of course), Yellowstone, Jackson Hole (Jenny Lake and Inspiration Point here we come)

Enjoys classical music to listen to and play on the piano... watching sunsets and then the stars coming out... reading happy books... watching HGTV to get house design and decorating ideas... seeing glee in my kid's faces over the simplest of things... going on real dates with my love Jimmy... snuggling and smelling wee little babies... etc.
