HALLOWEEN 2007

Who are you calling a cow pal?! Oh . . . me. I'm not sure how I feel about this costume? Do the spots make me look fat?Alright! I'm a cow!! I think I really like this costume now! Check it out . . .

I have cow horns . . .

And, see . . . I even have a cow tail!

Hey, I've been busy passing out candy to all the other kids in their costumes. I need a break! Plus, I'm a little upset they get candy and I don't. Not that I'm complaining about the bottle . . .

Well, that's my first Halloween! It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure what I'll be next year - so if I look worried, that's why.

Anyway, have a wonderful day!

Happy Birthday Mom and Dad!

Dad had his 30th birthday recently. We had cake - I like cake, but especially like the "frosting" everyone puts on the cake. Dad sure had a lot of candles to blow out.
Mom had her birthday soon after! We had a real nice time with family. Mom's cake was round and had a hole in the middle - it looked like a big donut!!!We really like birthdays! It is a fun time with family and friends, and a chance to open presents. My birthday came later - pictures will soon be posted.

LAKE POWELL!!!

Finally on the water. These kayaks are great for Lake Powell. We took Kaden out for his first spin - we chased each other, splashed and enjoyed the waves tossed our way by passing boats. Kaden really liked to help paddle along!

Mom and Kaden went out on the big tube behind the boat. This is a must at the Lake, and he really enjoyed being out there. Much more tube fun to come from this little guy!

After the tube, Mom and Kaden took it easy in the boat! Incidentally, you can tell that the lake is always cooking up a storm for the evening by looking at the sky behind them.

Sunglasses are absolutely required at the lake! The sun is bright, but on the water it is doubled since it reflects off the water. These are Kaden's sunglasses - it took him a bit to settle into them, but he eventually did.

The best part of Lake Powell is a renewed sense of what's really important in life - family. We're so grateful to Grandma and Grandpa who make this blessing possible for us, and we look forward to many, many more Lake Powell adventures over the years.

Finally, below, is a picture of Glen Canyon Dam. It is massive! You take the Dam tour, and talk to Dam tour guides about all the Dam facts. You could visit the Dam gift shop and buy a Dam souvenir or Dam bag of popcorn. Oh, if you need to make a pit stop, there are Dam restrooms too.

Lake Powell trip 2007 was an amazing time - it always is! We've included a few of our favorite moments from the trip. We know that the only way to really feel Lake Powell is to be there yourself, but we hope these pictures help bring a little warmth and fun to your day.
