A couple weeks ago we decided to go up Big Cottonwood Canyon for a picnic and some outdoor time. It was so much fun. The kids had a blast. We barbecued hot dogs and chicken and then went exploring. It was fun watching the kids trying to climb trees and getting dirty. They loved running through the tall grass and playing hide and seek.

Daddy, Daddy, Hi Daddy!

I got pulled over tonight. When the officer walked up to the window Ellee immediately started saying "Daddy? Daddy? Is that Daddy? Hi Daddy!" The officer couldn't help but hear her and started smiling. I told her "No, it's not Daddy." The officer then asked "Who's her dad?" I explained that he's an officer at the courthouse. Needless to say, I was able to get a "Professional Courtesy". Thank you Ellee! I think I'm going to train all the kids to start talking about Daddy whenever a police officer wants to give me a ticket.
