Yummmmmmmyyyyy!

Alright fellow readers, if you want a website that features delish recipes (with the recipe & photo of it) then you need to check out & add as a favorite: http://www.completelydelicious.com/.  This is my cousin Annalise's website...she does the food photography (which is not an easy task...and one that I doubt I will ever attempt to master) and cooks the food.  Then she is kind enough to give the recipe to you.  I am not kidding, your mouth will water.  So check out her website & get some great recipes.

My new purse/digital SLR bag



It came, it finally came!!!  I ordered this on Monday and received it on Friday...my Jo Totes purse!  It is a gorgeous purse that is secretly a designer SLR purse.  There is room for your wallet, cell phone, book, bottle of water, makeup, camera, 2 lenses, SB 600 flash, and probably even a pair of jeans to change in to.  The bag is completely padded so nothing will happen to your camera!  I am absolutely in love and totally stoked!

If you want to check them out, go to www.jototes.com.  They are the best priced purse/SLR bags in town!

Moab 2010

There is nothing that I look forward to more each year (besides my birthday) then our annual trip to Moab, Utah for Easter Jeep Safari with our great friends. What a trip it was too...we got everyone up the waterfall on Upper Helldorado, Sam made it up the Big Hot Tub on Hells Revenge and everyone drove Suicide Hill. We had a total of 3 rolls, Sam x2 and Will x1, along with a few flops. Kristi and I finally got our wish to hike to Delicate Arch, unfortunately it snowing on us the whole way! Not exactly the shot I wanted, but well I finally got to see Delicate Arch. The boys got to ride their dirt bikes on some trails, with no injuries & I finally got my shot of the Big Horn Sheep!

Here's some shots: (okay, TONS of shots - you can see more on my facebook page)


Sam climbing up the LEFT side of Suicide Hill in the dark - are you crazy???  See what happens next (notice how close he is to the edge?)

At least he was smiling as he crawled out.  He said it didn't hurt but it was quite the drop & crash!

Pritchitt Canyon - Sean flopped!

A view of the moon over Pritchitt Canyon

The crew line up on Pritchitt (right after the "rock pile" obstacle)

The guys heading out to Metal Masher on their bikes!  (LtoR - Jonathan, Sean, Will, Sam)

Sam lifting a tire on Suicide Hill

Sam is a "tight" spot dropping into Upper Helldorado (no rolls though, just great photo opportunities)

Sean & Kristi with the beautiful blue sky!

The view on top of the Waterfall

Sam launching up the waterfall (and he made it)

Sam starting out of the Big Hot Tub on Hells Revenge (there's a lot of water in the bottom!!!)
He did it!!!!  This obstacle was the last one he needed to conquer in Moab!  (plus check out the La Sal Mountains in the background)

Jen driving the Little Hot Tub (even picked up the drivers side rear tire on the way in)

The view from on top of the Escalator obstacle on Hell's Revenge...red, blue & white!

The next few are shots from Arches National Park when we went to Double Arch, Turet Arch and North & South Windows at Sunset
the girls with North Window in the background (LtoR - Kim, Kristi & Jen)

Some shots from Rusty Nail:
Jen driving up Double Whammy on Rusty Nail (with Kristi as co-passenger)
Then Sam tells Jen to drive DOWN the obstacle...the pictures don't show how vertical it is!
Sam's roll on the side obstacle next to Double Whammy - he was okay

I finally got my shot of the Big Horn Sheep on our way back to the parking lot on Rusty Nail - I was beside myself with excitement.

Kristi & I finally got our wish to hike up to Delicate Arch...only problem, it was snowing!!!  These weren't the shots I wanted, but I saw Delicate Arch in the snow.

Other shots from Arches National Park:
We really were freezing....we were soaked to the bone (jen & kristi)
Jen & Kristi in front of the fiery arch
Sand Dune Arch


Last night on the trail & we hit Area BFE's Upper Helldorado for one last run up the waterfall (at night????)
Sam launching up the waterfall (everyone in our group made it up the waterfall this trip, including 2 first timer's)
Video's of the boys on Suicide Hill, the Waterfall and the Big Hot Tub are on facebook & YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/lincolnlock).
