Lake Powell Trip

Last weekend we took the kids to Lake Powell with Joels' family. The kids really loved it. We hiked up Dark Canyon which is by Hite Marina and swam in these pools of water. I was surprised at how well the kids did hiking. Avree had it pretty easy, but Kaleb stayed with us all the way, thanks to his Aunts and Uncles who helped him. The kids really enjoyed playing in the water. If you haven't ever had a chance to go, I totally recommend it.

Avree loved to do this during rides.



That pudding must be delicious.

Kaleb saving his Aunt Loni from being crushed. He's so strong!

Apparently Kaleb really needed to go to the bathroom. Don't worry, it's censored.


Isn't that beautiful.



I promise he's not crying. He really liked it.

Easy ride!

T-Ball

We signed Kaleb up to play t-ball this year with the city. He's really enjoying it. He's got 2 of his friends on his team. It's been nice to see him get out and enjoy something like this. He loves to be out and playing with other kids.

Team talk

Kaleb up to bat. He got out each time he hit because he forgot to run. We're working on that.

Baja Cruise= no kids!

At the beginning of June, Joel and I went on a cruise with some friends of ours. It was a lot of fun. We went to Vegas on the way, that was interesting. Then headed to San Diego. We went to Catalina Island and then to our surprise were able to go to Ensenada Mexico. Originally we weren't suppose to port there because of the Swine flu. But we had to dock for customs to check the boat and they let us get off. The people there were so excited to have us come. We were the 1st cruise ship in 2 months! We had a great time with our friends. Thanks guys!

Del Sol @ Catalina. About 75% of the designs were Joels. Woo hoo!

I don't know what this is. Any ideas?

Art 101

Kaleb definately takes after his dad. He loves to draw. The other day he drew pictures of his Grandpa Barry. I think it really looks like him. Isn't he amazing. Any bids?

Working Hard!

It's been quite awhile since I've posted anything. Joel is so busy with work, it's hard for me to get on the computer. He's out right now, so I decided to update what we've been up to. Back in June we went to Cali's to help lay sod in their yard. The kids were very eager to help. I thought it was so cute. I've never seen them work so hard.
