After many nights of crazy intense hiking I saw a female spotted owl last night. She was pretty ticked off that we were there actually and she kept dive bombing my head! I was like, "LEAH! Help, she's trying to scalp me!!" I'll post pictures later.
Austin came down last weekend and we explored Canyonlands. We decided to go mountain biking to the Colorado River Overlook and thought, oh it's only 14 miles, that's nothing on a bike. Well not on pavement, but in deep sand and slickrock in the middle of the desert day, it took us nearly 5 hours. Oh not to mention we ran out of water. So there I am 4 months prego, biking on super bumpy terrain, dying of thirst. I almost had a breakdown twice before we finally got back to the car. The best thing is we could have drove most of the way, but thought, NAAAAA we can bike the whole thing.
Actually, that's the first time we have mentioned the baby business on our blog. It's true, we are joining the kid club. I'm 4 months. Today was the first time I had to wear my shorts unbottoned. I think baby is tired of hiking and wants to go home. 3 more weeks.

Jessica, you are hilarious! I can't believe you guys biked for that long in the blazing heat! I'm glad you survived especially with the lack of water! Congratulations on spotting your first owl as well. That would be cool and scary all wrapped up into one.
Reminds me of when we would try to catch bats in our pillowcases in the backyard. For some reason when they started diving at your head it wasn't so fun anymore.
You guys are nuts. I can't imagine how hot and exhausting your bike ride was. Glad you didn't pass out.
Love all three of you. ;)

Thanks guys. Can't wait to see you soon -- Probably for the wedding, but I hope sooner!
Yeah! An owl finally! Congrats. Kitty reminded me today that I promised her a trip to Aunt Jessica's house to retrieve her Cheetah. When does your job end?
Her cheetah and her dog and the silver jacket. I get back September 10th ish.
