Keeping Up With Kirbys

I'm sure everyone knows how much I LOVE this guy right here. Yea, he's pretty great!  So I wanted to make sure that I got him an extra special birthday gift.  He hasn't had new cologne in yeeeeeaaarrss.  So I thought he'd probably LOVE some new cologne.  His favorite cologne is Gucci Guilty. If you know him then you know he's not ALL FANCY and he probably wouldn't want me to share that his favorite cologne is Gucci.  But it is. So I'm super excited for him to open his gift.  He opens his gift before school and is thrilled.  He takes it out the box and it looks like this... He laughed and said "this looks different than what I remember and well, the gold, that's a little over the top".  It was really GOLD and wherever you touched it you would leave finger smudges.  He did several spritzes and then a few more for good measure. After a few minutes he came in to tell me that he googled women's gucci guilty because he smells to...

We arrived in Sedona and unloaded the trailer at Cave Springs campsite.   Josh read about a hike that was one of the most popular and family friendly in Sedona so we thought we would give it a try.   It was the West Fork of Oak Creek Trail in Sedona, Arizona and just 2 miles from our campsite. This hike started with a valley full of apple trees that descended down into a canyon with overwhelming red canyon walls that followed along a beautiful creek.   We took Bean with us and allowed him to run off his leash whenever the trail was clear.   He provided us lots of laughs. He LOVES to run ahead then come back to us and make sure we are sill following him.   We went through 7 of the 13 creek crossings and stopped for a little swim in one of the bigger ones.   Bean jumped in for a swim too.   This hike was easy and absolutely gorgeous.   We ended our night with apple races dow...

Day 1 of Kirbys Go West Well not a lot of excitement unless you’re into lots of driving, and watching dirt devils out the windows.    Seriously, it’s not the prettiest of drives   so it   required a little of this excuse, my 17 relaxed chins. and a lot of that. #lubbock Jenna gets motion sick so she usually takes a Dramamine pill when we first start out.   Jenna:   That was really hard to swallow and it was kind of stuck in my throat. Me:   Honey, it’s dissolvable. Jenna: Yea but I don’t like to do that.   Our first stop was really just to break up the driving but if you know Josh, he researches places before we ever make a stop.   Just a sleepover or quick break becomes a big part of our adventures.   Our first stop was Villanueva State Park but in order to get there we had to drive through the town of Villanueva.   Wow, the rocky cliffs and high plains canyons were gorgeous but w...
