Lake Powell

We have been so excited about this Lake Powell trip for a long time! It was finally here. We had a GREAT time. The weather was beautiful, and the company was even better. We were able to go with my Mom and Dad, my brother Stuart, my sister Rachel and her husband Paul, Paul's Mom Jean, Allen's sister Keri and her husband Kevin, and our nephew Tyler. What a fun bunch. Get ready, there are a lot of pictures! We ended up with about 450 so I really did narrow it down :)



We played games and ate good food......lots of good food!







One of the highlights was Porter learned to.........














wakeboard! He popped right up and all of a sudden he was a pro! He was pretty proud of him self. After that first time he was hooked, and the little guy could go forever. He is still talking about it all the time and planning what specifics he is going to work on next time.
We went cliff jumping. Lots of fun and adrenaline.















Lots of soaking up the beautiful sunshine!












We slept good and had some crazy bed head!





















There were fish caught. Big......and little!


















Lots of rides on the molecule.............lots of CRAZY rides on the molecule, man that is fun!




















Lots of this









and that.







We had such a great time. Poor Allen got sick, never fun on a houseboat, but recovered quickly and joined back in the fun. It seems like we planned for this trip and packed and packed and packed and the actual trip always goes by so quickly. It was great to get to spend time with everyone away from all the distractions in such a beautiful place. We really enjoyed everyone's company and are so grateful for all of the fun memories.

The Big Harvest!

We sure have loved our garden this year! The weather is getting colder and the temperature was getting close to freezing at night, so we had our last big harvest.



The kids also loved picking pumpkins from the garden. They each picked there own. We ended up with about 15 pumpkins!
