Trav and Em in front of the blower fan

Whose children are these?

Trick or Treat!

Dr. Tait will see you now. . .

Ashlyn the Newsie

The football fan and the cute witch.

Caramel Apples

We made caramel apples for FHE one night.
Trav rolled his in three different toppings
in addition to the caramel. Yummy.

2 point conversion run

Trav scored two touchdowns and a 2 point conversion during their last game. He plays running back and loves football but can't wait until he can play with pads, helmets, and tackling. Yikes!

Trav being Shaq

With the help of a lowered basket and a step stool, Trav is an NBA star.

Fall colors on Cedar Mountain

This is looking West over Navajo Lake.
Navajo is a little low this year. Notice it's dry on the other side of the jetty or whatever it's called. Did you know this lake was created by a lava flow? There's no outlet, it just goes down through ground sinkholes or something like that.

This is the Zion Overlook. That's Zion in the center, way out yonder.

Birthday Party

Ashlyn and Aubrey's 12th birthday party. Three cousins: Laura Jones, Melinda Clove, and Jacy Schimbeck. Emily also tried to be part of the action. They watched "Phantom of the Opera" in the basement apartment and did facials, pedicures, etc. and had hot chocolate sheet cake with ice cream and hot fudge. Do they know what's good or what? They loved turning 12. Yay for Young Women's and Girl's Camp!

Emily's first day of Kindergarten

Took this one at Jamie's when we were in "the mode" for ugliness. I'm so perty!

Emily at the 4th of July parade. This is before all the cousins came to celebrate. We had everyone here and the kids slept out in the tent in the backyard. Homemade ice cream and fireworks!

Couldn't resist putting this one because of Macy's exuberance for the camera. This is when we went to the Clark's new house right after they moved. Ashlyn and Aubrey are sporting their new sarongs.

Lake Havasu Summer Vacation 2007

The kids liked the rides down the lake but wanted to be tubing, swimming, or fishing most of the time. Trav got three good sized large mouth bass (didn't get a picture, sorry).

It was an interesting ride down the channel. Lots to see.













You would not believe all the wasp nests under the bridge. This was just a tiny mass.















Flamin Hot Cheetos and a boat, what more do you need?


This is a picture of the bridge right before we went under it. It was kinda perty.
